    4x4 Training

    Just completed a one day 4x4, fundamentals course with Overland Experts in NC this past Saturday. Highly recommend these professionals. They’ve been around for quite some time and also train SF and Navy Seals how to drive 4x4s. I was thoroughly impressed and should have brought my wife. My...

    Tire Pressure for a Fat Tacoma

    Gents, I have added steel, front and rear bumpers, fiberglass rooftop tent, 270 and shower awnings, rear canopy (topper) on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma. Currently with all this new weight and all my gear, water, propane and extra fuel cans, the total weight is 6,450lbs. I am nervous that I have too...

    Propane Tank Holder

    Purchased a very sturdy 20gl propane tank holder and installed it on my roof rack earlier this week. The propane is used only for cooking and heating our tent. I personally didn’t want to mess around with small propane tanks. Any suggestions on securing it properly?

    TIMBREN SES

    Anyone have any experience with the TIMBREN Suspension Enhancement System? This one is a rear suspension upgrade for me. I am over on my GVWR and want to do what I can to help my current suspension. I recently added a leaf to my Old Man EMU 3” lift kit heavy load based on a recommendation from...

    Recovery Tow Hook

    Just installed a larger and better designed recovery tow hook for my 2nd gen Tacoma. The OEM tow hook (pic provided) is pretty small and looks slim to say the least. I wanted something that would be a lot easier to secure recovery equipment. I think this should do the trick. I went to...

    Decked Core Trax

    Installed my Decked Core Trax just now. Combined with the bed wall tie downs and ratchet straps, I now have a secure means of transporting my water and other gear with hopefully minimal damage.

    Nitto Ridge Grapplers LT285/70 R17

    Just picked up a set of LT285/70 R17s for my Tacoma. Looking forward to seeing how they perform. I have a lot of weight on my rig and just wanted a 10 ply tire for what I may be running into. Thankful to be able to have these tires.

    Bed Stiffeners

    Installed one Victory 4x4 bed stiffener for my Tacoma. When I tried to install the second one, I buggered up the head of the truck bed floor mounting bolt. I thought I’d cut a slit in the head of the bolt all the way across the top and then take a cold chisel and a hammer to break it free...

    Tailgate Board

    Just added the Mountain Hatch Tailgate Cutting Board. I really added it for making it easier on my knees when I have to get at the top of my roof! (Not for cutting—although it is easier now.) I’ve got metal knees and boy when they hit a hard surface it makes me cringe. This upgrade will be a lot...

    My Trauma Kit

    Finished compiling my trauma kit. Below are the items I selected with the associated cost. I wanted to compile a trauma kit to deal with major injuries, typically life-threatening, and to keep someone alive until expert medical care can be reached. I also wanted enough materials for myself, my...

    Water Closet Upgrade

    Well, not an exciting post, but an improvement for us. Just received and secured to the floor a mounting plate for our Thetford PortaPotti (highly recommend). Now our dukie won’t be spilling over. Potential Overlanding disaster avoided and the happiness meter just moved up a notch.

    We have HEAT ☀️

    I have in operation the Propex HS2211 Heater. It uses propane and was not difficult to modify and install. Most of the work involved wiring. This model comes with a digital thermostat which keeps the tent at a constant temperature. This unit is also equipped with a countdown timer and is...

    New from Georgia

    Hello y’all. Been throwing all my efforts to get my 2014 Tacoma ready to hit the trail. Still a couple more big mods to make before we get on the road south and then west til we hit the Pacific. From there, who knows. Would love to plan a Georgia Traverse trip in the future. Anyone interested?

    Looking forward to hitting the trail soon. My wife and I are looking forward to departing on a long overdue trip after the holidays. Have been in the preparation phase and getting itchy to begin. Very thankful for this resource and any and all advice.
