Totally agree with you. I just sold my full sized truck (Chevy) because it wasn't different enough from my mid-sized in terms of capacity, especially when you consider the payload difference is often in the low hundreds of pounds but the weight of the actual vehicles can be over a thousand...

Here's the rundown from Expo's Scott Brady: https://expeditionportal.com/the-all-new-2022-tundra-is-north-americas-new-land-cruiser/ I was really excited with all the shared technology and design from the Land Cruiser, but a 1455 lbs payload if you want the off-road goodies is super...

I use a similar product for my dogs, except they get into and out of my RTT via my hood so I've affixed it to the hood and the roof of my rig. I've had two vehicles that I've set up this way. Locally, I can get 3M "Safety Walk", which is a roll of tape about 4" wide. Lowes also sells similar...

Cheers @Mattlodi, I am looking forward to your test drive (Probably not as much as you are, but it's close :D)

Fantastic - I hope you get to take lots of pics, and I'd be very interested to hear your impressions when it's done! Whereabouts in the world are you located? I've not heard of any announced Stateside or in Canada.

Thanks @JackW that's helpful info as that was what I was thinking would be a better solution than the accessory. Great example in that link you shared of a slick setup. I am finding that as much as I love building trucks for adventures (I've spent months on my current rig), my time is more...

Jack, your truck looks fantastic. The sliders really do add to it, but the snorkel and hood decal on the fuji white looks very sharp too. Quick question - for On Board Air, are you planning on using JLR's accessory, or going with a different style? I love that JLR offers one as an option, but...

Neat idea on this build. In terms of using this in rough weather, could you run the fan with the window up leaving only a small gap at the top, and get something like a Putco or Weathertek rain shield over the gap? That might prevent too much water from being sucked in; it would reduce airflow...

In the tent! In our king-size tent we have plenty of room for two adults, our kid, and our two dogs. Our older Shepherd need help now (She's nearly 14 years old), but that's only been on our most recent trip. Before that thought the dogs get up into our RTT with minimal help and fuss. We've...

We have a split bench in the read of ours, so we did a seat delete for 2/3rds of the back. Our son gets his seat (behind the passenger) which has plenty of room for him and his carseat. I then built a dog box to replace the blank section of the 2/3ds seat delete - this was a pretty quick and...

Episode 10 of Building the Grenadier premiered today: Of note - Looks like the transmission is properly sorted, allowing for automatic most of the time but a lot of manual control too (Many do these days, but this is the first I've seen the ability to lock the transmission into a gear being...

Hey now, I think I look quite dashing in my cargos and blunnies! :D

I swear by my Blundstone slip-on boots; I'm a fairly recent convert though. Prior to owning these I would bring the "Crockoffs" as others have identified, but the holes mean my feet get full of dirt and sand depending on the campsite. The Blundstone boot has replaced heavy hikers and a camp...

Apologies if this has been shared already; I'm not following the Bronco so I've not read this thread, but this news caught my eye: https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/spied-ford-bronco-overland-sasquatch Looks like they are testing an Overland trim package for the Bronco which hits a different...

I think the answer will very much depend on your use case. I have both a midsize and a full-size truck, and I use both for overland travel though we have the midsize more "setup" as that is our primary tool. My wife and I travel with two dogs (60+lbs - German Shepherds) and more recently, a...

I'm wondering the exact same thing. My thinking is that if JLR was able to do the non-DEF, non-emissions diesel for their South African spec New Defender, which has the same diesel as the Euro-spec one -- the Ingenium, just without the emissions stuff -- that would suggest that Ineos can do the...

Here is some information from a while back; may have been shared elsewhere in the thread but I didn't see it. Scott Brady got a chance to speak with the folks at Ineos. It's a good listen; Scott knows this industry in and out and has some great observations...

We've got a portable ring we picked up at Costco years ago, but we've had to leave it behind on our longer trips simply because of space/weight. I'm intrigued by both the Quickfire option and the Little Red Campfire as they seem a lot more portable. The other issue if fuel; typical propane...

If I may offer a dissenting opinion - I have an iPad Pro, and for me, that's the only device I need; I got mine at Christmas of 2018 and have used it daily since. For context, I use it in my career as a work device (notes, e-mail, meetings, reading, signatures, etc. -- 8 hours a day in an office...

From what I've read elsewhere, they are using the BMW B57 (Diesel) and the BMW B58 (Petrol). Both straight 6 configuration. From what I understand, while these are BMW motors, they are being "De-BMW-ified" a bit -- for instance, I hear that the oil pan has a normal bolt hole plug in it, which...
