I have overlanded in 22 countries in 5 continents and will be leaving next week to spend 6 weeks in Southern Chile and Argentina. You?

Well this is an overlanding forum not a hauling and towing forum…?

The Gladiator is a unique vehicle and nothing available in North America can compare. the 3.6l engine is very robust with literally over a million in use in various FCA platforms and the ZF transmission is perhaps one of the best transmissions on the planet. Do some of them have issues, of...

Wow that’s insane!

Great adventure! Thanks for posting.

When I was in the market for a truck camper I did a lot of research, visiting several factories. I ended up ordering a Hallmark Everest in 2016 and we have traveled from VA to Prudoe Bay, Death Valley, Co, UT etc. In fact we are heading out next week for a 2 month trip to extreme Northern...

We have a Dinoot trailer that can be built from scratch with minimal experience. https://compactcampingstore.com/collections/dinoot-jeep-trailer-style-parts Here’s a couple of pictures of ours… one thing I would also add is to use the same wheel and tires you have on your Jeep so that you...

A quick search found this in the UK. ‘Currently out of stock (like most tires these days) but you could give them a call. https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Michelin/XTE-2/425-65-R22-5-165K-20PR/R-103080

For those of you using the 12.9” IPad Pro what bracket are you using to hold it in your truck?

our trips are multi weeks or months and can cover over 10,000 miles and multiple states/provinces/regions etc. I have zero interest in downloading maps for hours and then realizing that if we want to explore a different region that we don’t have the maps downloaded…

I was just going to ask if anyone has the TREAD and found this… To me the biggest difference is the preloaded maps and the offroad navigation feature. I contacted Garmin and asked for a comparison between the two and this is part of what they sent me..

I ordered a poly tank from this company and they make all sorts of tanks for a reasonable rate and can put fittings of all sizes just about anywhere you want. give them a call with your idea and see if they can fabricate something for you. https://www.themetalcompany.com/

The Kalahari is one of the most magical places on earth. We’ve been twice and haven’t begin to unlock it’s mysteries…

A Garmin InReach and a note to myself to never leave your vehicle in remote places….

This might be a consideration. It has a mesh back for ventilation and plenty of pockets…

As a recently retired builder I can say that most of the country is now going to what is known as “Conditioned Crawl Spaces” which will result in a much better (ie warmer in winter and cooler in summer) home.

Jerry I’m wondering if you could give me some more information on the chain used as a downspout? I have one downspout at my house that gets a lot of water and I think it would be nice to see the water coming down the chain. Is it galvanized? How is it attached to the gutter? Thanks!

^^^ While most of what you said might be true there are other components than what you mentioned that led us to the Hallmark. It has a larger water capacity that lets us stay out much longer than a Grandby would have. The Everest has (in my case at least) 2, 20# propane bottles…once again to...
