    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    That depends on what you mean. If we are being purely anecdotal (b/c we are thus far), I saw plenty of maxtrax when traveling internationally-b/c they were on my truck. Could I have carried bridging ladders, sure-but it wasn't as elegant a solution for the purpose of the vehicle, where it...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    I'm not sure that knowing some friends who got seriously stuck one time in South America is an indictment on maxtrax-nor does it equate to 'serious world travelers' carrying bridging ladders vice them. Bridging ladders have a place and purpose, and like maxtrax offer some benefits while at the...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Sun pm we spent over at the park. Whereupon our campsite saw us stunned by the sunset. A few tweaks to be made but so far, the 1min setup/~2-3min teardown while having a soft, dry place to sleep has been fantastic. Next up AWFA, then VOR! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Next step was a shakeout trip up to WV. We already knew we wanted to add some memory foam to the mattress so we took advantage of the Twin Mtn Technology Centre & workshop to get thing sorted inside. Best done by one Which promoted testing. We spent the night in it (outside)... The next am...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    One of the things I realized was some of the tools I kept in my pelican cases really should just be in the truck 100% if the time, with the left rear seat being a good place to store them given limited clearance bc of the shelf setup. After URE it was time to focus on the RTT install. We had...

    So clearly the Autohome is mounted. I have been remiss with updates since heading down to Uwharrie for 36hrs. To wrap that whole thing up; it was a blast working it bc of the people. The contestants and in particular the volunteers. I was fortunate that I was basically the assistant to one of...

    A test run after wrapping and initial mounting. Tweaks to fully dial it in but results are promising. Much more to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    For the sake of discussion if folks start looking here for info on the 17" conversion...the KM3 has an 18" size that is ~32.5"... Not that they are cheap, but for those looking to retain factory 18's, it's now an MT option.

    Then a wicked storm came through so all those preps...yeah In the end it came to this. As a postscript setting up an event is exhausting but fantastic, even if (& because you are) up past midnight setting up Tread Lightly stuff for participants even if you need to go sort wreckage at...
