Thank you! And Jack, I am loving that Buick.

I get emotionally attached to tents. I kept my original Marmot Taku until it was a slag heap of melted polyurethane coating and mold. Lots of memories in that one. Also, I loan them out. Eventually I might sell a few more, but these are all for now.

If you've registered for the Overland Experience package, you'll receive an email soon with a link for choosing the classes you want. We send them out in the order people sign up.

These three are the only ones I'm selling at the moment. The MSR could easily handle wind, but the screen panels would make it pretty cold when the outside temperature dropped.

I stopped counting at 18. I know there are a few more around here.

I stopped counting at 18. Some must go. Update: Nemo has been sold. MSR Elbow Room 3P The Elbow Room 3P is a four-pole, two-door elongated dome tent. Without the fly it is freestanding; with the fly it incorporates a useful vestibule at each end and must be staked out. Given the four-pole...

Overover, there are five trailer companies signed up already, and we usually add a few later on. So lots of variety.

Er . . . I'll be there.

Thanks for starting the thread, Dendy. We're delighted with the beautiful event site at Taylor Ranch, and excited by its proximity to Asheville, a cultural treasure (and, incidentally, a micro-brew Mecca). Overland Experience pass holders will find more advanced driving and recovery classes...

Remember that the output of photovoltaic panels drops in hot weather, just as your fridge's power requirements go up. Your 70-watt peak at noon is just that—a peak; the average output will be significantly lower. We have 200 watts worth of panels on the JATAC, which is enough to keep up...

Not sure it's fair to cast doubt on the entire group (and I'm not affiliated), but you're correct that a mere certificate is no guarantee. Nevertheless, personal instruction is by far the best way to learn skills that might involve risk if done improperly, and I certainly wouldn't trust just any...

That photo shows Tom Sheppard's (ex) G-Wagen, with his custom-made wheel claw for the bottle jack, and Barong articulated sand mats—sadly no longer made.

Synthetic line is safer and easier to use. End of argument as far as I'm concerned, whether you're a beginner or an expert, and whether you use your winch every day or once a year.

Wow, Bronco—that I just don't get!

Absolutely true, but let's not forget the proper bumper, synthetic line (mandatory these days as far as I'm concerned), and recovery kit. Still, Camper101, it's worth considering the investment if you plan to travel solo a lot.

Very well said! And if you'd like personal instruction, may I direct you to the Overland Expo link below?

The problem is the name. Most "tow straps" are designed to be elastic, and you do not want anything elastic in any winching system. "Winch extension line," yes. That's a non-dynamic line intended for winching. And you need proper shackles such as these. And, ideally, proper instruction in...

Camper101, Winching with a Hi-Lift is an agonizingly slow and inefficient process, not to mention hazardous. Since the Hi-Lift is rated to lift 4,600 pounds, you're well beyond its factory capacity if your truck and camper get properly stuck. And with stock bumpers, your 30-pound Hi-Lift will...

Sold. Thanks for the enquiries. Everyone, I have a set of Icon V.S. 2.5 front suspension cartridges with Icon springs (stock plus 20 percent), and rear shocks. The shocks have remote reservoirs and are fully adjustable and rebuildable. They should fit Tacomas from 2005 on. These were on our...

Too few vehicles come with any type of chock. Those look excellent.
