    G500 as first overland vehicle?

    if its what you want, sure it works. but then again, if an 89 buick roadmaster is what you want, that works too. if youre asking the best unit for long travel and mild wheeling in this size, it is a 100 series LC. Its also easier to upgrade to more radical wheeling. for the buy in price of a G...

    Alaskan Camper '84/'14 Build Thread

    great job. you have more balls than me. after redoing my interior, it leaked a couple winters ago, and i had black mold in the lower walls. i had glued the snot out it to make it as sturdy as possible so disassemble was going to be about impossible. i got pissed and sawzalled the ********** up and...

    shadow cruiser popup question.

    theres a clean unit for sale i can score for 2000. i just barely fit, which means i fit, and yea in a tad junky, but it'll work for weekend kayak trips. the issue is my dually. its got the flat undermount rieco plates and tripod style jacks. i figure i need about 8" min extension for the...

    AEV Outpost II project? prototype?

    considering the space constraints and the footprint, im not sure why the lid wouldn't extend over the cab for a hinged sleeping platform a-la andrew whites rig. i think theres are enough dreamers a stripped "u_build it out" white gellcoat shell would market at a hefty profit. the R&D is in the...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    they have all the stress at the two welded points, the weakest area, along with ************ lowest bid contract manufacture. adding a tube in the middle, whith another ************ weld isnt going to do much, as the stress riser still exists. go back to the steel suppler and get a couple lengths of 3x3...

    60' Expedition Yacht

    if'n I was older and didn't like sails anymore.. and was retired.... Trawlers are great to age into. An older friend of mine was talking trawler. I'll be sending this over for ********** and giggles. That is a really nice boat. Nice dad too. Mine took me to Disneyland once, when I was 4.

    A Simple Drawerless Drawer System for SUVs

    i did the same in the fj60 a few years back. junky and cheesy but it functions great. ive had top end drawers in my other trucks, and there is a shitload of wasted space and limited types of use. i removed the rear side panels and used captive nuts where the plastic pop in fasteners went, to...

    I've asked this in the past but with new members and all, do any of you drive stock rigs?

    its funny, i hear a bunch about how peoples stock rigs will go where i go, but i dont much see them go where i go. when they do, im usually the one making their life easy, and limiting environmental damage, by tossing a rope. the truck is a camper/wheeler, though. the butchered up roads where...

    training... hmmm... the government decides that definition, and thats not quite the meaning of 2a. militia in the 1700's only meant every able bodied white male. any training consisted of standing your ground without ****************, in the face of volley fire. the army was bravery, and the ability to...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    i love "situational awareness". you can tell when someone reads too may self defense and gun magazines. not a one of you in a restaurant line would notice me sliding an ice pick between 4 and 5, until the ice pick was firmly between 4 and 5, making a nice semi circle. ************** situational...
