Whoa, thanks for all the great responses everyone. Lot of thoughts here. A bit more on my background. I do have some basic medical training slightly more than is required for Florida First Responders. My degree was also in Aerospace Engineering and I'm pretty good at working my way through...

Hey all, I'm new to the overland scene and I was hoping for some advice from from everyone here. I've done some light offroading through my friends farms and such back in High School and camping in college but nothing like many of the trips on people take on here. I'm changing that in 2016. My...

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks. I have a college friend of mine in the Northwest so I wanted to be sure that if I get caught in the lovely rains up that way it would be fine. This is going to be strapped to the top of my car for about 10 months next year and used regularly, so long term...

Well, last night I realized...laying on a pinecone in my 10 year old backpacking tent, my head an inch away from one end and toes touching the other, that this might be the time for an upgrade. I'm planning cross country trips in 2016 and the tent will pay for it self to avoid hotels, not to...

I tried watching the show but it just hurt. I live down in Florida and this style of off-roading is most of what happens around here. I see jacked up trucks, covered in mud, no exhaust ripping up trails and rolling over bushes or trees. It's the same story in most of the 4x4 magazines out there...

This is an awesome idea. I used to take my Honda Odyssey camping in college. I still think it was the only Odyssey with General Grabbers on it. I was very close to having a Honda Fit, even had money down on one last year but after 2 months they still couldn't tell me when they could get the...

If you decide to go with a new one, shop around. I ended up saving $2500 on my 2016 2.5i Premium (no extra's just the "premium" package) by buying in another state. I probably emailed 40 dealers in all and went with the guy who gave me the best price. I got it OTD for $28350. The used models are...

Wow that looks like an awesome trip! I love that you just put the Jeep in storage between legs of the trip and then pick it up and keep moving. I only hope that whoever stole your first aid kit needed it for an emergency. I can't wait to see more of your trip.

Hey Grant, I've been following your build and really like it. I'm getting my Outback beginning of October and can't wait to start modifying it. I'm curious if you think 2 spares would fit on the rear with a slightly wider swing arm. I can't seem to find a measurement for the distance between...

Awesome trip! I had a 2004 G35 that I loved. It's a great grand touring car and tons of fun for eating miles. That looks like a great trip and an awesome route. Great photos too.

I have to say, I'm really liking this season. I like a lot of other have gone back to watching some of the older episodes and I'm amazed how everyone has grown. Sure the equipment has gotten better, but I like the changes to camera work, production and the over all feel of the show. Alaska had...

One of my favorite mods I did to my old daily was mounting a Maglight (or any flashlight) within reach of the driver. It's surprisingly useful, I use my pen light far more than my pocket knife and is a cheap quick addition to any car. If you want mechanical upgrades, some sort of skid plate...

Looks great. Thanks for the info about the sleeping platform. I just placed a deposit on a 2016 2.5i Premium for delivery in mid-October, then it will be build time. I'll be interested how your test run goes down. I may end up stealing some ideas from your build when my Outback comes in. My...

Hey I just found this build and love it. I'm pricing around a new Outback for a similar use. Being able to sleep in the Outback is a huge bonus for me. I'm planning a long road trip around North America and the Outback looks like it will be perfect. I'm actually pleasantly surprised there is...

Wow this is a fun thread. I'm diggin through my old photos for some pics of me and my Honda Odyssey. I had my old computer crash a few years ago and lost a lot of pictures. This was camping out in Arizona back in Fall of 2007. I eventually installed a CB and went with General Grabber AT2...

I have them for my H3 since I have tan carpet. They are wonderful. The digifit are brilliant. They have a lip that comes up over the door molding. They let you scoop mud, dirt, snow right out of the truck. They are pricey compared to some other floor mats but well worth the extra cost. Sent...

I like this little guy, glad to see it has other fans as well. I can't wait to hear more about fuel consumption and pricing. I like the sound of the 1.4L Turbo with a manual and 4WD, but I don't think that one gets all the goodies the Trailhawk will. It's going to be a hard choice but this...

Hey guys, thanks for making this thread. I've been scanning the forums and found it so I looked up the shows. Watched them both, and even got my parents to start watching them. After watching I was reminded that I have a license sitting in my back pocket with a "M" stamped on it and I...
