    Hardly anything but snacks and drinks travelled in the 80 with us; all the supplies went in the overland camp trailer I built. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Kids and Overlanding

    Yeah...this is great! Thanks for starting this thread. My wife and I have 5 kids, stairstep from age 4 through 14. We're all headed out on the road this Summer for a month on a 5000+ mile, 16 state roadtrip in a 20-year-old Landcruiser pulling a Gulf War era M101A2 trailer full of food! Good...

    U-pol Raptor vs. Monstaliner for trailer frame/tub. Go...

    Doing a full frame-off restoration/sandblasting of a M101A2 trailer. I'd like to here the good and bad from real world users of both, and not from a salesperson. Who has great results or horror stories from either U-pol Raptor, or Monstaliner? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Last purchase was RCV chromoly Birfields for our 1996 FZJ80 Landcruiser (Lexus LX450); getting my hands on some Diamond Axle chromoly driveflanges and ARB chromoly hub studs next. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    I'd love to see your trailer. Did you fab it completely custom, or start with a base trailer? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Nashville meet up

    Man, youve got a great size trailer...loads of potential. I understand not wanting to pull a trailer. We have five kids, which leave about 2 cubic feet of storage space in the back of an FJ80, and moving all our storage weight to the roof started feeling sketchy when a trail leaned too far side...

    Nashville meet up

    I'd love to meet up with you; I'm in the middle of a trailer build too! And M101A2 with 3/4 ton axles and hydraulic surge brakes that saw some action in Iraq in the early 90's. I'm mating it to a Steelweld utility top with rear barn doors. I just picked up a Freespirit Recreation M55 RTT for my...

    I don't even remember the brand. I bought them in a pinch after hitting a whitetail deer at 70mph, and destroying the stock housings. These are not very well made, and both low and high beam bulbs were H1's, so I modified them to fit some H3's that like much more. I just haven't set aside cash...

    It's so great to have an OB buddy around the corner...and not just because I'm going to need help flipping my trailer back over, and lifting a metal camper shell onto it! [emoji28] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Right on... I was just looking at the Grand Staircase on Google Earth with the kids yesterday. Most of my time in Utah has been spent as a climber in the Wasatch and Uintas, so I'm looking forward to seeing the desert. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Family man, and Lexus overlander living in middle Tennessee...Hello, friend! I'm scared of the ocean, but I'm a climber, so maybe knots and bends are another common denominator [emoji38]. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using OB Talk mobile app

    Five of us are between the ages of 5 and 13, so we don't fully resemble sardines packed into a tin can; some of our humans are still relatively small. Hahaha! I do realize that's way too much ground to cover for one short trip, but I want to overload their little brains with possibilities, and...

    Hello friends. I've been meaning to join for over a year, but it's good to finally be here now. Looking forward to meeting OB'ers this year locally, as well as out in the Western US as my wife, myself, and our five kids take a month, and drive our 1996 LX450 (FZJ80 Landcruiser) and M101A2...

    Right on, man! It's actually an M101A2, but close. My wife and I have five kids, so it was going take something slightly larger than the M416 for an adventure trailer.

    I'm in... Hey @Teague, how about a mini-meet-up sometime sooner; looks like we both live in Fairview.
