Another excellent video. Thanks for sharing your travels and experiences...so many of us are helped along by your informative content on destinations, good overlanding practices and gear. I'll just mention that in addition to the well known national and state parks in Texas the Texas Parks &...

My 2005 Ram 3500 has what I think are the OEM steel wheels. Thoughts: Weight... Rig scales at 10K fully loaded. Not much use trying to save some weight on the wheels. Price: the purchase of some aftermarket aluminum wheels, mounting, balance and the rest would likely run me around $1200...

Added a photo above. I purchased from my local Ham Radio Outlet. This and many other makes/models on Amazon also.

Over the years I've always liked to bring along a portable AM/FM radio on my travels. Hammock hanging or tenting off a motorcycle or roaming around in a van or RV having a source of news & music that was not based on having cellular service and/or power from a vehicle often filled a need during...

1: Boquillas dessert was "Sopapillas". Fried dough typically coated with cinnamon sugar and honey, sometimes augmented by ice cream or fruit. A real treat for sure. 2: You are visiting BBNP during spring break. The main herd of folks stick to the well-trod path. As your plans and vehicle...

Old Maverick Road, BBNP, TX.: Morning colors at Bolivar Beach, TX.: Fall at Cape Henlopen SP, DE. 2005 Ram 3500, Hillsborough flatbed with custom boxes and rear swing outs, FWC slide in Hawk, Buckstop front bumper, Warn 12K winch, 35" Nitto G2's, rescue ACD/Heeler.

I recently did BBNP and Old Maverick Road in late January 2022. Your Honda would be capable of doing MOST of Old Maverick Road without difficulty. There are some spots as I recall where you will have to pick your line very carefully if you can get by at all. At all times be cautious as one...

Having some fun in Texas, January 2022: BBNP Old Maverick Road and Santa Elena Canyon: Morning at Bolivar Beach: Fort Davis Courthouse Square: Magnolia Beach:

Those were the days...looking past an engine and seeing the ground! I would think that any "handy sort of person" should be able to glance at that photo and see the critical parts like the oil filter, air filter, thermostat housing, master brake cylinder, fuel pump, spark plugs, distributor.

Enjoyable report with great photos and useful details. That area is "on my list"!

Based on my #3 comment above...I saw this and thought it would be good to post here. Vehicle overlanding offers us all so much...it's easy to forget the comfort and ease of movement in your vehicle can be stopped by a faulty vehicle component/computer chip or a rock into your oil pan. In an...

I became aware of a weather forecast about a severe cold front blasting down from Canada that was expected to bring snow and ice to the entire area. Up to this point my general aim was to continue in a northward mosey and aim for the Guadalupe Mountains NP and Carlsbad, NM. An aspect of this...

In January 2022 I decided to make a run out to West Texas from my home in Virginia. I wanted to re-visit Big Bend NP and the interesting areas nearby (“nearby” may be a somewhat optimistic term in the context of far west Texas). The total trip lasted 4 weeks. I had a bit over 2 full weeks in...

Great trip…thanks for posting.

I can't quite make out the name of this park...can you provide it please? Thanks! EDIT ADD: Got it...McClellan Park, Millbridge, ME. Thanks for this series...next summer may hit this area. I hope the Canadian border is open and we can have access to NB & Gaspe' area.

I enjoyed your report and photos. I'm passing through that general area in 2 weeks and likely will hit Fort McKavett based on your details. Thanks!

Enjoying Pawnee Buttes National Grassland in NE Colorado. '05 Ram 3500 with Hillsborough aluminum flatbed and FWC Hawk. Trip report: The details & more photos.

Very useful information and thanks for posting it. Folks often think of two basic truck camper options...the slide in unit on a standard pickup truck or a flatbed camper unit on a flatbed. I split the difference with a slide in on a flat bed with storage boxes. Then there is the custom...

They look like brackets from AM Solar. They allow use of tilt bars so you can angle your panels when camping to the sun.

I made two 2x4PT "saw horses" wide enough for the topper on my Tacoma. The sawhorses are made about the same height as the truck body. Two people could lift one end of the topper at a time and place a long 2x4 under under each end. Then you slide the topper off sideways and onto the sawhorses...
