Life is relative, folks. You can make money in real estate. It's not hard, scary, or out to get you. Yes, it has risks. Yes, it requires some capital to get started. Results will vary based on location. If you don't have that much risk tolerance in your life, keep on renting from people like...

Been busy with the truck lately! Got the lights installed as well as the roof rails to mount a platform to. Airbags work great as well! Here is a pic of progress so far:

Makes sense. I am in tech as well. Smaller, local business but I have my ear to the ground in the industry. I lived in a van in 2021 in all types of climates during my circumnavigation of the country. A van may be a better option for you if you plan to do this for a while. Build it right, and...

You don't need that much money to buy a house. So, assuming you are gainfully employed, you could reasonably have a down payment on a house for the cost of a wedge camper built up enough to live in full-time. That said, it depends on where you want to buy a house and the market there. A FWC...

I'd say $12,000 installed is decent, but maybe a little high for the year.

I searched there as well but no dice. Thanks though! May just fab up my own I guess!

Thanks anyways!

Any details on how you mounted the lights on your bumper?

Called McGard and they sent me a new key to get the spare down! That allowed me to get the full-size spare put on and ready to go! Woohoo! After that, I spent a couple of days installing the AirLift kit on the F-250. I ran into some issues being that my truck has a BW turnover hitch installed...

Correct, you cannot order one new, but you can buy one nearly new now that Trek is finished. The image I got was from a dealer local to me. My point remains that the commercial response to "overlanding" supports the notion that "overlanding" is widely viewed as a market category now and not an...

The fact that LR sells this version of the Defender baffles me and makes me think of this thread. I'd bet MOST of those buying this version will never unbolt anything from the roof or use the traction boards let alone know what the cables attached to the hood are for. This commercial response...

Battery came in yesterday and its all wired up and is ready for action now! I also recently found out that you need a special key to drop the spare tire on these trucks and mine did not come with one! Great! Although, I am glad I found this out before needing a spare! I called McGard and...

Yep! I too like the height without the width. They fill the arches nicely and aren't such a detriment to highway characteristics. I guess these would be considered "pizza cutters" in the 3/4-ton world. ?

The F-250 got new shoes this weekend! 35" Falken Wildpeak AT's. I have been a BFG guy for a good 20 years on my trucks but figured I'd give these a shot this time around. I only went 35" for two reasons: my wife is short and already has to climb in the truck with OEM 33" tires, and with 3.73...

Yeah, it is! I will add solar panels in the future for alternative charging.

Spent a couple of hours rewiring the camper to be lithium-ready for when my battery arrives tomorrow. I removed the old AGM charger/converter and wired in this Victron charger that has built-in Bluetooth to allow me to fine-tune the charging parameters. It was not easy, as the fit is very tight...

I also finally bought this really useful tool after my arm got tired of raising and lowering the camper with the standard wrench!

Got the new charger in this morning. The battery will get here tomorrow and then the interior will be done and ready for the first test trip!

My point exactly. If you can't showcase it at Overland Expo then are you really overlanding? I had a thought that maybe there is a dividing line between those who are more digitally connected and those who are not. The definition of overlanding would be relative to your position to that line...

We haggled a bit and agreed on a price we were both comfortable with!
