The storm in January was gone in a day. This stuff hung around for a week. The national park got something like 15 inches of accumulation.

Somewhere in Mexico!

Sweet progress on the camper! What do you think your total investment has been so far in the pop-top? Any water/dust issues inside?

My wife LOVES our skoolie. Not enough to let me 4x4 swap it, but she has a point, it has never gotten stuck or not gotten us to a destination. Alaska will be the test in a year or so. Send her over to www.okienomads.com, we have a ton of stuff up there. Good luck on getting her on board, we...

It was time for some groceries and some beach time, so we made plans to leave out of the ranch to the North and camp at Mike's Sky Ranch, then head to San Felipe the next day for some sun. The road between us and Mike's had been described as rough, challenging, and downright miserable, so we...

1UP is the way to go. We use a Yakima rack now and will upgrade to a 1UP when the Yakima is done.

You’re telling us. We knew it was their rainy season here, but it’s getting crazy. Since January we’ve had over 10” of snow and I’d guess close to 20” of rain. Driveway repairs start as soon as it’s dry. I spoke to my mom on the phone recently and she asked if we brought skis. Unfortunately, I...

New video up! We got pinned down in a blizzard in Baja!

Not quite overlanding, but what happens when you can't leave?

I can attest to this to a degree. My wife and I full-time lived in our bus from April through December and racked up 20k+ miles in 20+ states and varying temperatures from 5-105 degrees and we have spent January-present in our 4Runner + RTT and i can tell you, we will not have the RTT long and...

We headed West to visit Bryce Canyon National Park and take in the varied beauty of the area. Bryce is at a much higher elevation than the area around it and we went from sandals and outdoor showers in Moab to puffy jackets and wool socks. We experienced our coldest night in our bus thus far in...

I think we will likely wait it out and start saving for a 4wd swap someday. Until then we will likely rock the weldtec 2inch lift and go explore.

It should soften the lower it goes. I’d drive it as is and see if you like it. We enjoy the full time life and really enjoy traveling. Our other rig is a school bus, so I don’t know if we fit the overlanding mold either!

I’ve had fishing yaks in the past and really enjoy them, but I don’t fish enough to justify one. We have found that we don’t often float unless it’s calm anyways.

The front likely has a ball joint spacer and a torsion bar crank in addition to the crossmember drop. You can lower the front a bit with no extra parts, simply crank them down. The rear you could likely lose the blocks or go with shorter blocks and keep the same height shocks all the way around...

Mostly for something new. My wife is finishing up her yoga instructor certification and most anything that we did in the kayaks we can do on the paddlebord.

Thanks for the link! We are looking at getting a Costco membership anyways...hmmm. That has kinda been our though process. Compared to 11' creek kayaks, the ease of packing, storing, and using seems to really outweigh the performance issues compared to rigid boats. We had the kayaks on our...

We are not opposed to driving or flying for the right rig. This thread was for figuring out if an old truck with a camper was a reasonable full time solution. A van would be okay, but there’s no headroom. Pop top requires a lot more money in addition to a pricey and in demand van. If the right...

My wife and I are looking at swapping our creek kayaks for inflatable SUPs. We like the idea of storing them inside and clearing real estate on the roof. Budget is between 500-750 each and we would like an all around boat for mostly flat water. Who hear uses an iSUP on the road?

Read the post when you published. Such a cool setup and a great upgrade from the RTT! Congrats again!
