    campsite pics..lets see um

    We ran it for just 2ish days the last week of May. Despite regular squalls, nothing ever accumulated and I welcomed any precipitation as the dust was insane! It looked like they'd just graded nearly the entire part we were on. In fact they WERE grading Ya Ha Tinda which provided a bit of slot...

    campsite pics..lets see um

    Different angle on some of our recent campsites from a month-long trip that took us from Virginia to western Montana, up to Edmonton, back down to Montana, to Lander, WY, and the Badlands before the slog back east. Along the Forestry Trunk Road just south of Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada...

    Sequoia Gen 1: 2001-2004 vs 2005-2007 for Overlanding

    Get the '05+ and replace the ball joints with OEM as soon as practicable unless you're very, very sure they've been taken care of with quality parts. Also the timing belt if there aren't any records. Everything that smokeysevin said is true, EXCEPT the bypass kits are still very much around...

    Does what I want exist?

    Granted...I'm biased...but definitely look at the Arkto G12 that @Obsessed2findARuggedHybid mentioned. Admittedly it'll start getting tight with 4; particularly as your youngest grows. It has a permanent residential queen bed (east-west) and two benches below that can be converted into an...

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Yes to both...we have the RedArc and the mudflaps now come on the latest iteration of the trailers. Happy to get you some pics if you want more than what the video EPO posted shows! I'll get some pics of the mudflaps when I get home this evening. They did a fantastic job keeping the rear...

    Texas to Alaska to Texas. 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid driving on the Dalton Highway and the Dempster Highway. July/August 2023.

    WOW! That's crazy. We passed this vehicle shortly after crossing into Canada from MT at the Carway crossing on May 29! Small world.

    Transfer Flow developing larger GASOLINE tank (factory-replacement) for RAM 2500/3500 CC Short Bed

    I'll, readily, plead ignorance as I haven't spent much time examining the gas tank. Do you know if what they're looking for pics of is all visible with just dropping the skid (I have a 2500 w/ Power Wagon package), or do you need to drop the entire tank?

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Wanted to breathe some more life into this in case someone perusing the forum for trailer ideas sees this. Buy. An. Arkto! I, my wife, and our two dogs got home a couple weeks ago from our month-long trip to go pick the trailer up from Aaron (@Arkto ) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Took off...

    OVRLND CAMPERS ONLY : Post your OVRLND Camper build here or a link to your build thread to inspire others!

    The weight has nothing to do with what your truck can carry. The frame of the camper is what limits how much weight you can hang off it; particularly bouncing around off road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice requested:$35K budget, what are you buying and why?

    Lots of votes for Tundras...and I'll be one of the dissenters. Sequoia. They are NOT the same. Mechanically with the front end? Sure. But functionally? Not in the least. It's just my wife and I, our Malinois, and a Dutch Shepherd. With a truck, there's zero room for one kid and the dogs, let...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Interesting...and, sadly, not all that surprising. Though having combed through countless scientific studies related to both performance nutrition (I mean...fuel for the body, so related...ish), and strength/hypertrophy a lot of advice that still stands today is based on old studies that don't...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    And the chances of riding in the bed increased in relation to the number of times "Are we there yet?" came out of your mouth. :LOL:

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    We've already established the confusion I had re: 4HI...and that it's really 4A (which is also not proper AWD) despite having a transfer case in some vehicles with a separate center locker. My RAM has a traditional transfer case, and no it doesn't get run on dry pavement. Poor horse, it just...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    My ‘05 had an e-locker center diff, so 4Hi was technically 4A as it was an open diff when unlocked, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    I think it depends on the 4WD system, no? My first-gen Sequoia had a separate center diff lock with 2WD, 4Hi, and 4Lo. I didn't make it a habit to use 4WD on totally dry roads, but never experienced any binding/etc. on the short stints where I did when cruising along mixed surfaces with drive...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    What tacollie said. 85 octane at altitude is like 87 in the lowlands. In oversimplified terms, less oxygen = need for fuel that ignites easier. 93 octane here = 91 out there, typically. And it's running lockers that you don't want to do on dry pavement...4Hi is fine. Otherwise you couldn't have...

    Tapping the Gas Tank on a RAM HD

    My only concern with this is whether you may experience problems at the pump. Running a line down the filler neck may cause enough of a restriction that a gas pump senses back pressure and shuts off at full flow. I have that issue with my RAM...have since new and it's not an uncommon issue. I...

    About to pull the trigger on an Xpedition voyager, any real competition I’m missing?

    Also...check out Arkto's G12 out of Edmonton up in Canada. That's the direction we went after looking at both the TetonX and EOS, and 1/2-2/3 the cost of the EOS depending on how you kit it out. You can find a couple threads on them here if you haven't already. It's where I first heard of them...

    About to pull the trigger on an Xpedition voyager, any real competition I’m missing?

    Given OP is driving a regeared 5th gen 4R...the EOS12 is a full 1,000 pounds heavier than the Voyager. No way I'd tow a 5,200-lb GVW trailer and a family of 5 in that.

    Any Tips, Tricks or Cautions for Vertically Mounting ROAM/Pelican/etc. Cases?

    I have an Expedition One, dual-swingout bumper on the back of our Power Wagon. In an effort to relocate stuff like recovery gear out of the camper and free up space for other stuff, I'm thinking of mounting a large case (test fitting stuff in a buddy's ROAM 165L) to one of the swingouts...
