Hey OB. I'm planning a few days in south florida exploring the National Parks and the Keys. I'm looking for some recommendations on great backroads and trails to explore, as well as beautiful spots to camp. I'm planning to do this over spring break which I know is probably a bad idea. I have...

Hi OB. Is anyone here overlanding in the new diesel ZR2? On paper it seems like worthy competition for the Tacoma and having previously owned a diesel Ranger I'm really drawn to the Duramax option. Disclaimer: I'm not in the US (yet) so any context about the Chevy brand is totally lost on me...

Hey OB Midwest. After a couple of years overlanding in the dunes and mountains of the UAE I'm moving to Chicago next month. I'm pretty sad to have sold my Ford Ranger but I'm looking forward to shopping for a new rig and making some new OB friends in the coming months. So for now, this is just...

Hi everyone. I've been doing some research into the feasibility of importing my overlanding rig into the US. I'm thinking permanently, not just for a vacation. It's a 2016 Ranger so not sold in the US market. My early research suggests that its either very, very difficult or straight...

I wanted to share a review of a swag tent I bought recently. I spent 3 nights camping with the tent last weekend, one of the nights being close to a full-on sandstorm. Let's cut to the chase though. This thing is expensive. ARB gear is expensive before it leaves Australia and the price is only...

Hey guys, I'm joining a long weekend trip that is being organised over on the Dubai Offroaders forum. It's a 3-5 day trip that will aim to cross the Wahiba Sands in the East of Oman. Apart from the incredible overlanding experience, it's a good opportunity to promote the OB community and...

This is a question about your rig, not your bedroom activities :openmouth: I've been using ratchet straps on my roofrack to hold things down. They are strong but I'm beginning to hate them. The mechanism gets covered in sand, the straps are easy to twist up and it just makes loading and...

Last night @BenH, myself and a couple of future OB members camped out in the dunes near Al Qudra. Call it the inaugural meeting of the OB UAE chapter :) It was good to make new friends, brai together (aka bbq) and have a few beers to wash the sand away. The campfire talk was meant to be about...

There is an echo in here. Is it only me regularly visiting this forum?

Hi All, I'm struggling to decide on the best way to build up the bed of my pickup. Ideally I want a rack over the bed that I can put a RTT on and still stay below the roofline. The problem is that i want dry, secure storage in the bed below the rack and most racks are bolted to the bed and...

I've just started to write about trips I make around the UAE and Oman. This first short article is about a weekend camping on a small island off the coast of Abu Dhabi. Feel free to ask anything about what it's like to be self-sufficient and offroad in this part of the world...

Hi from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Could you create this region please?
