    A GoPro Thread

    Timely, I got tired of using my phone for pic's, and not every situation calls for a drone launch :rolleyes:, so just ordered a Hero 10. Hopefully more to come as I gear up for more travel.

    How Could You Do This to Your Child? Defining Our Parenting Philosophy

    Agreed. There are, unfortunately, many stories of parental abuse that make the news, and they never left their house.

    Mercedes Overland Building/Tuning

    And solid reasoning from my point of view. Availability alone is the prime issue to me at this point. I'm probably more vehicle vain than most here ;) but I'm not going to create problems for myself for the cool factor, it's one thing for a fun track car, but for my 'home' when I'm traveling...

    Overland Chef's Knife Selection

    As a professional Chef, I have a set of old school Henkels that I have had for decades. The only other knife I've added is a Santoku. For the rest of the tools I do have a French whip, peeler/grater combo, heat resistant spatula, 8" tongs, ladle, and a cutting board (with a handle). I'm...

    Mercedes Overland Building/Tuning

    All good points. I was set on 22.5", but when Terra-Exp said 4wheel24 mostly mounts 20", I started questioning my decision. It may be that since they came from a race truck background, they are more oriented towards the 'off- road' side of things vs 'overlanding'. Certainly the lines get blurred.

    Mercedes Overland Building/Tuning

    That was what I understood from earlier discussions, S.A. is definitely on the agenda. As is Europe, Africa, etc.. I also understand about the sidewall and airing down on the 20" vs 22.5". I also get where Sitec is coming from on the duals vs SS's. There are subtle nuances that come into...

    Mercedes Overland Building/Tuning

    Update: Truck was gone through and they replaced a ball joint they felt was loose, all other maintenance/tuning is completed. One of the owners of 4Wheel24 took it out for a spin on the 'test track' he uses to evaluate trucks and commented that he was very impressed with the new engine...

    Mercedes 1222A.. The beginning!

    You set the bar very high for the rest of us Sitec! (gee, thanks) I may end up with more of a Mad Max kind of vibe with my build...?

    Lowly the Lorry. . .

    Very true! a lot of variables to consider and I'm no engineer. I got into fabrication to support my car addiction, plus my high end bicycle addiction, etc., etc. :rolleyes: And now with the MB1224 coming (hopefully by first of Feb) I can see a need for fab'ing up some light weight parts. I...

    Lowly the Lorry. . .

    Nice! I've been looking at 3D printing myself. I have a small (9"x11") 4 axis CNC mill that I play around with, but looking at acquiring Markforged Mark 2.

    Generator ban in California?

    Agreed- I'll never go to a campground again if I can possibly avoid it. The last time I did, there were people that had so many lights on you could not even see the stars, blasting rap music with lyrics that I did not want my young children to hear, freaking watching TV!, loudly partying until...

    Random dog shots

    This is a good photo for size reference. My 13yr old son in the pic is 5'7" and 105lbs. Ranger still out weighed him by 35lbs, but trying to sit in his lap nonetheless.

    Random dog shots

    Didn't know this thread existed till a recent post brought it up. My 140lb Ridgeback, Ranger, taking a nap after a long hike. Died of cancer a few months ago, I cried for 2 days, I really miss him...

    I have no idea what your saying, but it sounds cool. Evidently, I'm going to need to fly you over here to the states to wire my rig...?

    Layout dilemma....

    I'm planning the same overall large, high window design myself. To address the specific issue with structural strength, I was planning on two things: 1.) Triangular shelves in the corners that would tie the two intersecting panels together, while providing some cubby hole storage space. 2.)...

    For Sale: 420W Expedition Solar Array US Military Issued

    If your looking for a comparison to benchmark against, I think these match best to Goal Zero briefcase models IMO. BTW- Pelican cases are awesome, and ones like these go for hundreds of dollars by themselves. GLWS
