    Tires Limited Selection?

    Hi all, So I have a curious question and really haven't found any reason why. Since I am one who likes the tall, skinny tires, I have been a fan of the 255/85-16. The downside is, there are very limited selections available in that size and many are MT type tires (I have a set of Toyo MT on...

    New Camp Trailer Build - Bean Squared Style

    Hi all, So I have been thinking of a camp trailer for quite a while. Our first delve into the overland world was back in 2007 when we picked up a Kamparoo Cub "clam shell" style trailer. We had a lot of fun and great trips with it. We moved to a truck/popup camper, then was out of the...

    New Patriot Campers ST5 Super Tourer

    Hi all, This happened to come across my YouTube feed and I hadn't heard anything mentioned of it. The new Patriot Campers ST5 Super Tourer. This thing is slick. I am sure it will end up in the 6 figure price range so not likely going to see many of them around.

    2000 Ram 2500 V10 and 2014 Northstar TC800 Camper

    Let's go back in time, to Oct 2021. I had been working on my M1010 project ( Desert Turtle ) off and on for a bit. After a lot of consideration, I felt it would be easier to buy a newer truck, with modern features and swap the ambo box over. I started looking for suitable options. Sadly this...

    Any info about Rockworkx Multi-Tool?

    Hi all, I had this popup on FB and IG. Looking at this and watching the videos, it seems like it could be a nice tool that can replace a number of individual items with one unit. I haven't really seen any "real world" tests or reviews and was curious if anyone has used one of these...

    What Clam Shell Style Campers Still Available

    Hi all, We used to own a Kamparoo clam shell style camper and overall enjoyed it. At one time Adventure Trailers (AT) used to build one and a few other company (many in Australia) but it seems they have gone away. We liked the small, closed footprint, lightweight and hard floor/full standing...

    Meet Yeti - 2013 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X

    I figured I should start up a thread on our newest purchase. April this year (2023) I had a total need replacement. Once I was healed up enough to start driving again, I found with our 1999 Cherokee, the pedals are offset a little to the left and the trans tunnel has a outward slope to it...

    2013 Xterra Pro-4X

    Well... picked up a 2013 Xterra Pro-4X last night. Super clean and just over 65K miles. Outside of the color (really wanted the blue or green), it is exactly as I wanted. Moving over to this from my clean '99 Jeep Cherokee. I recently had a knee replacement and found with the narrow footwell...

    Hi all, I am looking to change the direction of how I build out my M1010 camper conversion. Originally I was going to use mostly all aluminum and composite panels for the cabinet build outs. With the cost of materials through the roof, I am considering switching over to birch ply for most of...
