    Best $200 (or less) Tool Kit for College Student?

    My wife (and soon our daughter) are under STRICT instructions that one should NEVER try to change a tire on the side of the highway. I have stated on multiple occasions that I don't care if they have to drive on a bare rim to the bottom of the offramp, and step out of the car in slow motion as...

    On the latest Venture4WD video from Chris Shontz, he walks through doing pretty much exactly this:

    Fridge for front of vehicle

    Dometic makes one that's meant to slide into the center console on Ford trucks and Expeditions: It wouldn't take much to enclose wrap that with enough shell to put it into any vehicle - it's a nice form factor compared to the skinny chest fridges since it isn't very long.

    *SOLD* 2010 Tiger Bengal - $94k

    Nice. 5 months ago I'd have been all over this. We'd have to get creative with the spare, but otherwise I'm pretty sure the extended cab Tigers are just short enough (vs the crew cabs) to fit our driveway. GLWS

    Off-price camping gear ideas

    Yes. The smart play is to spend enough to ensure the thing meets your needs (and isn't being replaced so frequently it ends up costing more), but also not to over-spend. I will put my Walmart $44 folding card table up against any table from the "big overlanding" companies in a battle of...

    clearance height

    Oh, well aware. There are definitely options, but going RORO you definitely take on different security issues versus bring containered. Costs are different too. I wasn't saying you can't go taller, only to think hard on it before you do.

    clearance height

    With my first build, my overriding maximum envelope was a 20' shipping container: 7' 6.25" high by 7' 8" wide at the door, and less than 19' 4" overall length. If you harbor any dreams of international travel, think hard before violating this envelope. I could hit that with my lifted 4x4...

    New ARB Awning 2500 x 2500 - For Sale in SoCal -

    2nd - photo of the damage would clarify whether this is a candidate for some folks. I will say that the nice thing about ARB awnings is that the price/availability of many of the component parts are very good. I had mine folded backwards by a sudden gust of wind (that yanked two guy lines and...

    Kenyan Safari

    Yeah, we started very similarly - D90 + the same Tamron, but I started realizing I was leaving the kit at home some times because of size/weight - I switched to Micro 4/3 and it carries like a rangefinder, but shoots at least as well as the DX whenever the light is decent. (Small sensor is...

    Kenyan Safari

    Nice work! I went to look at the Metadata - very pleased to see you getting these results with a relatively modest setup - DX camera and not huge apertures. Looks like you topped out w/ a 300mm lens? Care to share what glass you used? EDIT: Oops, I see some shots out in the 500mm range - now...

    Is there an "ultimate" tablet for Gaia/GPS?

    What's everybody's favorite Android Tablet here in mid-2022? We're currently using the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019 version) and while it is generally fine, I AM finding it gets a bit sluggish in Gaia or Backcountry Navigator XE when the maps are dense or I'm trying to move around a lot on the maps...

    Ursa Minor Camper Shell for JT Gladiator

    It may be a side effect of the Stellantis takeover, or it might have been the specific model info he needed - I said "Stellantis/Jeep" in my original post, but I should have said Stellantis/Ram, as he was looking for Promaster models. That said, I have heard from other sources that even Jeep is...
