I used a pelican case mounted on top and two waterproof dryspec bags on the sides. Looks like I don't have any pictures of them on my KLR but they are the same ones I've used on my F750. I made hard panniers out of Harbor Freight hard cases as well. The hard cases are great for daily commuting...

That’s awesome. Should be a lesson for all the people buying a minivan or three row SUV because their two kids made using a regular sedan impossible.

You can’t go wrong with a KLR650 as long as you’re not planning to do a lot of long distance highway high speed touring. The stock tank will get you 300+ miles and you can get a 10 gallon aftermarket for even more range. They are dead simple with no fancy electronics to go wrong and easy to fix...

My 2018 with 17k miles does it pretty much anytime the temperature is below 30°F and it sits overnight or all day at work on a long day. I took it to a dealer who said they couldn’t evaluate it without having the code active in the computer, apparently they don’t know how to troubleshoot the...

If you cancel the annual plan outright it looks like they’ll charge you the $23.90, or maybe even if you cancel it and change to the Freedom plan. A few years ago I had the annual plan and when I switched to the Freedom it was just the $24.95 and no cancellation charge. If you change to the...

The Freedom Safety (most basic plan) is $14.95 for the months you have it active, not double what you pay. There is a $25 annual fee on the Freedom plans. If you leave your Inreach activated all year it’s not a good deal obviously. Having your Inreach deactivated for four months is the break...

If you have to ask for a picture of a ZJ you can’t afford it.

Yes, but 2" is the difference in my truck fitting in the garage or not, so 12" can be way too much depending on circumstances.

Full floor rubber mats take care of any problems with carpet. That was the first thing I bought when I got my new truck.

I disagree completely. There's a lot of places I used to take my Tacoma that my new Ram 2500 is simply way, way too big and heavy to go. It won't even fit down the trails and definitely can't manuever in anywhere near as tight spaces. It's a trade-off I was willing to make though to have a...

Yeah, whenever I get around to buying new and larger tires I'll probably pair it with a recalibration. For now it's just annoying but liveable.

It's a pain. My 2018 Ram wants the rear pressure at 80psi which is stupid if you're not towing or hauling heavy. I just live with the TPMS light in the dash all the time and every time I start the truck it defaults to the TPMS display, after which I can select any other display.

Open the windows to get ventilation and air moving through the tent to remove the moisture from your breath and body heat.

47.9’ on my 2018 Ram 2500 crew cab, 6.5’ bed.

My new Ram 2500 is only 4” wider and 13” longer than my old Tacoma. It weighs way more but hauls and tows way more and still gets better fuel economy.

Way more payload than my back and I've done plenty of overlanding with just that.

It doesn’t seem cost effective unless they swap the entire battery pack out between trips or use a pack that can last for an entire day of operations. I’ll be interested to see how they work around the recharging vs refueling limitations.

Yep...I remember that one time I accidentally filled out my employment profile with completely false information. It was a total mistake, I think I had been drinking a bunch and then had a dream that I was hired at another company. Or maybe I was just lying to try to feel better about myself and...

Usually true but at a smaller field they might be willing to make a couple bucks off you from their fuel truck instead of having the fueler sitting inside watching TV.

Just go to a smaller airport and ask the FBO there to fill your gas can with Jet A. Depending on the size of the place and the nozzles they have they might be willing to do that. It usually runs about $4.50 a gallon.
