    2018 Honda CRF250L Build - in progress

    Late to the game here. I owned a WR and traded with my BIL for the CRF. The WR was good but...my 31” inseam was not tall enough for the bike (even with a lowering link and Seat Concepts saddle) particularly on steep single track. Great motor but you really have to wring it out. The CRF allows me...

    2014 Sierra 1500 OVRLND camper

    Great set-up. And...you can still use your truck as a truck!

    Truck Caps

    I had a Snugtop cab-hi on my former truck for 18 years. Very solid unit. When I bought my current truck I wanted a Vision/ProTop extra height but they don’t make one for my model year so I bought a Leer 122. Although both Leer and Snugtop are now owned by the same parent company the Snugtop...

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    Another user of the TailGator tire table here. No more fiddling trying to get a table level, plenty big enough for a stove or bbq, makes a great spot for dining for two or a sundowner serving table. I liked my first one so much I bought another one at the Offroad Expo. ? I own/use a variety of...

    Mild A/T for heavy towing

    Perhaps consider a ”hybrid” tire like the Mastercraft Courser CXT. Made by Cooper.

    Breakdown Troubleshooting Guide?

    One of the best buys I've made is a code reader. It can help identify the issue. Now, whether I'm able or capable of dealing with that issue out in the boonies is another matter. :unsure:

    Truck camping-looking for suggestions on organization and storage

    Another vote for the Cub Packs and Flat Packs from Front Runner.

    Considering a Go-Fast Camper - Interested in real world experiences and reviews.

    You might also consider a tailgate “lifter” that makes it easier to close. Basically a torsion bar setup. I had one on my Dodge and I could literally use one or two fingers to close it up. Helped out when closing it from the inside of the bed.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    “Leveling” is a relative term. For some reason I was assuming britome was talking about 33s...that’s a size I’ve considered. With the stock 4.10 gearing on the 2500HD 33s are at the limit of the recommended gearing range. (I’m assuming here, my model year came stock with Tonka Toy tires sized...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I’ve got an ‘02 model longbed. Enjoy it for what it provides...payload and comfort. I’m assuming it’s 4WD. If you start messing with a lift that’ll just lead you down the rabbit hole of complexity and $$$. You can fit 33s with a small amount of torsion bar adjustment...just level it. With your...

    Outfitting the new-to-me 2018 F-150....EcoBoost specific thoughts?

    Re: seat covers. I’m not a fan of CoverKing. I bought a set for my ‘02 Chevy, they didn’t fit well. Part of the problem was the shoulder belt integrated into the seat back. The belt would not return smoothly/completely, binding on the seat cover and yes, the seat cover was installed correctly...

    Yakima vs. Thule roof racks?

    Started with Yakima years ago but I think their quality control has slipped a bit. There are Thule track mounted racks on top of my shell, work fine but expensive. Have Rhino Rack gutterless mounted on the cab roof, work fine but again quite pricey. I’m liking the RRs as of today.

    Rocky Mountain Overland Rally Event Report

    Wasn’t able to attend but looking to clear my calendar for next year. I attended an early “Overland Workshop(?)” in Hollister Hills about a dozen years ago. Smaller, with a hands-on camaraderie attitude. Many of today’s merchants and suppliers were just starting out then. This event seems to be...
