Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By unstabl: I have a GMT panel for the back of my Corbeau driver seat. I keep a power pack, trash bag (dump bag), air hose, air down kit, chucks, fire extinguisher, flashlight, head lamp, and various electronic adapters in a MOLLE bag on it. It's great quality, the attachment hardware is tough and easy to use. It's easy to remove as well. I keep some empty space on it so I can add or subtract depending on what we are doing. I really like mine. My buddy has the Smittybilt fabric MOLLE cover and it's honestly just junk for what he is doing. It sags a lot and frayed within the first few months. It hasn't torn or busted though. It is functional but I think the GMT does it a lot better with the hard rack systems. I hope that helps. ETA: The flashlight is on my work bench but you get the idea here. The first aid kit is on a tear away velcro headrest mount. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/60012/1A6F9EA4-856A-4049-8483-0D380C4727CB-2437600.jpg Mine came in yesterday. It's pretty nice, quite happy with it. Now to figure out how I'm going to lay everything out and get some attachments. |

I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the Overland Expo. We met and talked with a bunch of neat people and its like the internet came to life, being able to touch and evaluate different gear in person. There are so many different ways to equip your individual set up these days. From RTTs and drawer systems to fully equipped continental expedition cruisers, there was a little bit of everything. I wish my D500 had an auto mode because constantly switching the settings gets old real quick at these types of events, but here are some quick pics...
Trail Recon JL 392 was at the BF Goodrich booth and Brad was at his own.  I really like the 2 door Bronco.   I love flat beds in general and this Tacoma was just about ideal.  Who doesn't love a Unimog?!  Bronco Raptor with the horrendous fender flares...  There was obviously too much cool stuff to see, and it definitely made my girlfriend and I want to get out and adventure more! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 103: I've never seen one of those before. That's a really good idea. I presume it's universal? Does it come with line extenders that you cut to length? Universal as far as I know. Comes with 4 press fittings sized for the tube and a stretch of tube. There was enough to get the front and rear differentials in my Tundra but I need a bit more tube to get the last breather. |

Picked up an A frame. I really wanted to build a teardrop but my kids are growing like weeds and this wound up being a good deal. Pretty pleased with it so far. For the real remote stuff we’ll just haul a tent and when I’m solo I’ve got the platform in the bed.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 3one5: The A frame looks pretty slick. What does it weigh? Supposedly about 2400 empty. It’s a good compromise between nothing and a traditional 16ft trailer. The picture doesn’t do the ground clearance justice. The forward platform makes it stupid long however. It’ll make a solid base camp. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sandboxmedic: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/70832/Overlanding_car_camping_-_Copy_jpg-2412496.JPG  I also find this "overlanding" phenomenon amusing. $150k tied up to go mud riding. My favorite "overlanding" rig for hunting when young wasn't so costly. Let's tally it up: 2" thick foam roll was in the bed of my truck. ($10, from the thrift store) Cheap Walmart sleeping bag on top of that ($5 @ thrift store)and the roof was 12x10 cammo tarp bungied over a frame of fiberglass tent poles (poles harvested from an old shitty tent...free). Coleman white gas stove, borrowed fom my dad. Old folding camp chair (free, i think...same with the Igloo) Add fuel and a stop by the grocery store and i might be out for $50. The "MWAS" (Mobile Wilderness Access System) Was my used $4500 Nissan work truck/daily driver. . It was 2WD, but sported Buckshot mudgrips for Fall/Winter. My Dad's MWAS in his day was 69 Ford station wagon. He did not even bother with mudgrip tires, but he was a more expert "overlander" than i was. Wish i had video of him crossing creeks in that damn thing.

The magnet is still attracted to the barrel even through the handguard. Though it is not strong enough to trust it to hold it tight on the road. |

Hey folks. I am a chronic "active topics" refresh guy so I never see the topics that aren't moving as much. Stumbled on this one.
I used to overland when I was in high school and college in the Ouachitas of Arkansas. The Albert Pike area that flooded many years ago was in my back yard. Back then I had a Chevy farm truck (1500, I think) and we would load it up with Walmart camping gear and camp. Had one spot just off the road where you had to cross a small creek and we would set up there with a river on the other side. Anyways, after deciding I was gonna kill myself with a fast car, I jumped on a GX460. It's a Lexus, which I'm not thrilled about, but whatever. I do more on road driving than off.
