Wow what a change for you guys compared to home.....always good to make memories with the wife & kido, keep it coming

Wow, a 1000 mile road trip would be impressive, hiking that much even with 4wd resupply is crazy cool I loved doing the Cont Divide by 4wd and really need to do the entire thing again, thank for the story and pics, very very cool

Iconic trip reports and pics as always, you really are an benchmark to measure by as far as getting outdoors, traveling and pics of course. Thanks for the time and effort to share, I know I try by taking pics but once at home it is hard to pull it together :)

Not to give out folks personal info but Wil is a great guy who has had some health and life issues... Truly and completely sucks as he is as old G around the US Overland Expo scene as it gets...as in he was one of the 1st folks to bring goodies into the US and has done more to build up the early...

The one I posted has a built in battery and I recharge/resupply it with a portable battery pack

I really liked my Snap Treehouse.... aluminum so didn't weigh much, huge side window/doors made getting anything from the bed cake and the bed lifted into the roof if you needed max walkaround space inside

That is actually pretty cool, you get the shade canopy if that is all you need and then a tent if you want more, cool

In almost every roof top tent, sleep inside setup and now my Sportsmobile Poptop I have used Exped MegaMats and love the 4in of bliss. You can let some air out to pack away with your sleeping gear and you get a high R factor to keep you warm.

I have played with every size and type of perm & port propane tank over the years.... Nothing beats the cost & ease of the standard 20lb tank. Even in the smallest towns I can swap or fill, never an issue.

You are on track for a nice simple system.... Yes when you are near "shore" power go ahead and plug in the fridge, all the good ones automatically default to 120v if aval (except newest Dometic, they will catch on fire :) If you already have the "suitcase" solar with controller and the Lithium...

I use a number of the SensorPush modules and they are amazing. I have them in my fridge, in the wall of my van where all the electronics/Lithium battery is, in the open air (to see just how hot it gets...148deg max, and how well insulation works) in my cigar humidors (2 winecooler and 2 desktop)...

Delcity and Waytek have been great sources with good prices, quick shipping and very nice when I have had questions.

Great writeup and making memories for those kidos beats any rig build out there.... keep the money invested in gas tanks and you will never regret it.

They will be back in July 2021 better than ever... I honestly think they had the short end of the stick all these years as SMB West was the ones at events, creating the coolest rides and making VanLife cool. Austin and the other were living off the history and efforts of West. I am proud to have...

Thanks for a great writeup, the family pics are a treat vs all landscapes. Another area to mark on the map.

Yes on both the Darche and the 23Zero if there is no wind or just a slight breeze I am happy to setup without legs. My only downside has to do with my van not the awning, I am 5ft 7in and need a step stool to open and close up the awning due to the height of the roof fence (with a poptop I don't...

great hacks....I will be putting the magnet in as soon as I get home I also put sheets of the blue shop towels in the bit flat pocket so I have clean up ready to go.

@alia176 #1 cover bag way too tight #2 3 wall ections vs 2 on 23zero #3 material let alot more heat/light thru vs 23zero some other things i dont remember right now :}

@Herbie I use mine for the lug nuts, hub nuts and anything else that needs big umph, nice thing is with your extension tube you should be able to save weight with the things it replaces.

Great work and you already did the most important thing which was swap out the jack setup. Ok I totally understand on using the ratchet as breaker....but I recently got a Tekton 1/2 ratchet BECAUSE it has the same max torque as the breaker bar :) 560lbs for a flex head, angle arm, quick release...
