    Pocket Media Group buys Gaia GPS

    Buried in the release of Pocket Outdoor Media acquiring Outside Media and will be using that as their name, it mentioned that the conglomerate also purchased Gaia GPS. Pocket Outdoor Media may be just 4 years old, but already the conglomerate has gobbled up some of the most influential titles...

    Leitner Design Racks

    When you are referring to "secure" do you mean security? or do mean keeping stuff from flying out of the bed? I have a Leitner ACS Classic with a Decked drawer system and I have never had an issue with stuff leaving the bed on highways and off-road. The most I use to secure stuff in the back...

    JL Rubicon Unlimited - Austin TX

    The owner and his rig has gone camping/overlanding with me and folks from the Austin area. I can tell you it's a very clean Jeep and very well cared for and very capable.

    270 Awning FREE STANDING!

    From my research, none of the freestanding awnings can handle high winds/gusts, they all suggest using the optional legs and guide rope tie downs for heavily windy conditions. Here's what happened to an Alu-Cab with a strong gust while camping on the Texas coast: On a side note, OK4wd...

    Rotopax Gen2

    The twisting bottom allows you to interlock two rotopax together and expands your mounting options rather than just "stacking", which is all that gen 2 allows you to do. In the picture below the far left water rotopax is Gen 1 and the middle water rotopax is Gen 2, notice the bottom of the...

    Point me to a 72"-80" wide RTT?

    I run an iKamper X-Cover on my X-venture trailer and it will be the smallest closed, probably the lightest at 120lbs and fit your requirements opened: Size (closed): 75" x 45" x 10" / 190cm x 115cm x 27cm (13.4"/34cm with cross bars mounted) Size (open): 91" x 75" x 44" / 230cm x 190cm x 110cm...

    Overland Vehicle Systems 270 Awning

    I've had this awning for a few months now, and the self-supporting feature (during setup) is a godsend when one person is trying to open the awning. So far I've been very happy with it, and the forward facing portion gives the coverage area I needed for my trailer. This is a great price he's...

    Decked storage vs bedslide for Tacoma with cap

    I think the Decked drawers are overkill if you will have cap, there are other drawer systems that have smooth/carpeted tops that would be much nicer to sleep on and make better use of the space around the drawers IMO.

    Chevy Colorado Z71 vs ZR2

    The biggest plus for me in the Bison bumper and skid plates is that it works with the crash structure and safety equipment (i.e. airbags), no aftermarket bumper can guarantee that.

    2021 ZR2 approach angle, winch bumper etc...

    I highly doubt Chevy would of made the approach angle worse for the ZR2 with the facelift, the Gladiator Rubicon is the most direct competitor and already has better approach angles, and my guess is what's under the new bumper fascia is the same as the 2020, it would cost way too much money in...

    Weatherproof fridge

    I've had my ARB Elements in the back of my truck since Jan 2019 and it has put up really well to the extreme heat here in Austin, TX, it's also been through heavy rain storms, dust storms, mud, etc. I haven't used it in the snow. It's also put up with pressure washing to get it clean. I like the...

    Other fast deploy ground tents besides Oztent and Gazelle?

    Decathlon Sports has upgraded their 2 second tent. I recently used it on a camping trip in the New Mexico mountains and I also own a gazelle to compare it to. First off, it's only a two-person tent, but because of that, it has a much smaller footprint and an even smaller packed up and carry...

    Chevy Colorado Z71 vs ZR2

    With either version Z71 or ZR2, you will need to cut fenders to fit 34" tires, you can get away with a skinny 34" tire (see ) Dave is the president of AEV and there is minor trimming to get the skinny 34" tires to work, basically the same that folks have been doing for 33" tires. The ZR2 with or...

    Looking for a comparison of 270 awnings

    I have an assortment of 270 awnings ranging from 400 bucks to about 1500, the only one that is completely self-supporting that I have owned is the Alu-Cab Shadow Awn and it's also the most expensive (1500.00) and the heaviest. The others that I have starting from cheapest to more expensive are...

    Fridge Slide Install on top of Decked Drawer System

    It can be done, but because of the weight the slide will be holding, you want to make sure you mount it into the metal frame underneath the top of the decked system. On my Colorado, the decked system only has plastic on the overhangs around the "ammo" boxes. Depending on how your slide is...
