Thanks I’ll check those out!

Title says it all... I’m in search of a bag to go on my spare tire. I’ve read reviews on the Trasharoo but it’s durability and lack of being waterproof is a bit of a turnoff. I know from experience that soggy trash can be gross to clean out. The James Baroud Eco Bag caught my eye but I’m...

Thanks so much for all the great advice so far! Yea the plan is to stage the vehicle at her families house in Dallas then take a couple days driving out to Flagstaff for ExpoWest. Spend the weekend there and then do some camping up in the Grand Canyon for a few days before driving back to...

Haha okay thanks all for the replies. To be honest I offered to change up our plans a bit and do something else but she is insistent on wanting to go. So I'm just trying to find the best solutions to make her as comfortable as possible.

So here’s the scenario. Planning a 10-14 day roadtrip this coming summer. We have a James Baroud Grand Raid RTT on top of my FJC. I also have the smaller Road Shower gen4 inbound that I’m going to mount to my roof rack. She basically has to use the restroom every 2-4 hours throughout the...

Ordered! Thank you!

Here is a brief summary of what I'm thinking about adding/modifying... See anything I'm overlooking? *Replace stock battery with Odyssey 1700 or 2150 (who makes a replacement tray for these?) *Upgrade the Alternator to Battery, Frame to Battery Ground, and the Body to Battery Ground to 0g...

Got my Rhino Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform and installed my James Baroud Grand Raid over the past couple days. The Backbone and Pioneer Rack system seems made fairly well. But it was about the biggest PITA to install that I've ever seen on a roof rack. I had to drill 3 sets of holes in...

Apparently it was an unopened return from their REI Garage sale something and they don't sell the ARB 37 anymore so they let it go pretty cheap. Definitely a good deal I was more than happy to find. I actually went to that REI the day before I purchased the fridge and saw it there. But I just...

Received mine last week and they look great! Thanks again!

No, but some of us live here and don't have the ability to leave. So believe it or not a snorkel does come in handy. I used mine extensively after Irma to bring supplies and help out friends stuck in some of the flood-ravaged areas where I live. I drove through water that was up to the top of...

Went beachin' today. Found some fossilized sharks teeth! :snorkel: Edit: it's not letting me post a picture?

Love this build thread! So much good info.

Anyone who doubts the snorkels significance in North American Overlanding has never dealt with Florida during hurricane season...

Get a pair of waders and a long stick. If you're really worried tide the winch line to yourself.
