Thought I would share as I build out my rig. starting simple with a winch and stubby bumper conversion on my 4xe Wrangler. i added PPF as soon as I bought it as well. I think a lift and shocks is next. Can’t wait to to her out!

Was a prior member/inmate here several years ago, but after my '91 Explorer Sport was totaled in a commuting accident, kind of fell away from the 4x4 and overlanding scene. Fast forward a few years, after storing the remnants of my rig at a buddy's shop and looking for a "pandemic project" stumbled

Bought a G-500 a few months back and have started modifying it. So why not a thread! Actually, I'm just really excited to get out again and thought this might be a good way to re-introduce myself. Lift went on a few weeks ago. Going to begin getting it setup for camping this weekend. Offroad-wi

Well looks like my trailer is in and now I have to wait for a day off to go pick it up. Outdoors RV 21 DBS. Looking forward to this chapter in my adventure style. Sure it's going to change some of the places I go but man we will be rolling in style. This is a 4 season trailer and designed to be tak

We put down in a nice campground in Priest River, Idaho to test all the systems and selected inventory for our, recently delivered, OGT, Expedition 2.0. Except for a small issue in getting hot water to the kitchen sink, we could not be happier and plan to go truly off-grid with an Overland Trek nea

Well the time had come to part ways with my Mitsubishi Evo and Toyota FJ. I was ready to move on from both vehicles but wanted to replace them with something from both worlds....... This is what I ended up with. A Gen 2 Ford Raptor. I will slowly be adding equipment to make this a self sustaining w

Took delivery in Northern Idaho from Off Grid Trailers...could not be happier. It's all winterized and bedded down in storage...cannot wait to go back and give it a work out! Will post a review after we have a few adventures. Tow rig is our F-350 with 6" BDS lift and Nitto Ridge 38".

This was my first Rover. My wife thought it would be cool to have a vehicle that didn't loose value over time, so somehow she ended up with an internet search that found this thing in Puyallup, Washington, and I don't think she even realized that I had seen The Gods Must Be Crazy many times when I w

After 7yrs and 90k miles it was time to say goodbye to our beloved JKU. After a great deal of thought and introspection I realized I wanted something a little (okay, a lot) more civilized that could still do a forest service road and boondock with that my wife could actually drive and stand to ride

Hey all, New to the site. Recently picked up a F350 with a Northstar pop up in bed camper. Any other truck camper types out there? Planning a longer term road trip with my dogs at the end of the year and hoping to do some moderate overloading as I tour across the US and Canada. New to most of th

OPTIONAL SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOR TWO-PEDAL ADVENTURING We love the little Mahindra Roxor, which matches (somewhat contentiously, as it turns out) the rugged charm of an old CJ-5 with extremely stout build quality and darn-near-unstoppable off-road capability. Its old-school simplic

Last week I picked up our long-awaited camper trailer, just in time for these summer activities. I drove over 4k miles to pick it up and bring it back from Exploration Outfitters in Mead, OK. I stopped in Cortez, CO to see Mesa Verde, and in Moab, UT to run a quick trail up to Gemini Bridges (with t

Well, with much deliberation and waiting over two months, I decided to pull the trigger on a 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 purchase. This vehicle was brought into the USA two years ago from the Netherlands. It's a LHD with a 200 Tdi turbo diesel. I will probably use this for a new business venture th

Mr. T is the most current in number of builds for me (1993 Toyota T100). My previous build was a 1977, short box Chevrolet Van with a built 400 small block. The interior was varnished birch, simple and stoic. I abandoned it as an overlander when I couldn't get more than 5mpg... ouch! Other vehic

2020/2021 was a crazy time in my life. Kidney cancer was the dominate issue. After my surgery my wife and I bought a 2005 Chevy Express 2500 Quigley conversion van as a project for my recovery. It is a 6.0 155 inch wheel base cargo van. It came with propane heater, house battery with led ligh

I have been slowly building our retirement rig, still working over time when I can get it to pay for this build. Sold our 4runner SR5 to my daughter and bought the 2020 Ted Pro in Army Green. It's my wife's baby now, I supply the muscle and funds :) Wife installed the rock sliders and Prinsu roof ra

We picked up our 2021 Mission Overland Summit a few months back. Been working a lot, really a lot during the Pandemic, so have mostly been getting things setup and doing a few upgrades. Did a quick weekend trip to La Conner last weekend. This trailer and setup is basically AWESOME. 😁😎

Here's my first South African rig, a 2003 Toyota Prado 120. It's a 3.OL turbo diesel, automatic, rear LSD. I'll post more photos as we get more into it.

Decided to move on to a mellower pasture. My Power Wagon was starting to nickel and dime me to death with an electrical gremlin and I was getting tired of hanging out at the dealer. On my last trip I noticed a lonely looking new 2018 2500 CTD Laramie sitting all by itself on the dealers lot. It turn
