x2

i never used to air down. Now if i know its a long road or ill be mostly on dirt for the day..i air down to at least 15psi.

if it get real rough or i know it'll be rough. I go to like 10-12psi

Rides MUCH better. Washboard stuff is a breeze.

Well the 10 pages of nonsense was fun to read dating back on 12/19 otherwise this thread is awesome!! definitely into the expo stuff

 

Nice rigs in here! Subd

 

There were over 120 vehicles at the event.

Any quail within about 2 miles were probably laying way low.

 

Had a blast at the So Cal Desert Rendezvous!













some how managed to forget to take any weelin pics, but it was a blast for sure. need to get back out there again and do some more exploring.

 

Tis the season to dust off the sleeping bags again

 

Headed out on thursday for my first "expo" in my new truck. Ok not really I'm going to a wheeling park, but I am driving 500 miles to get there and will be camping it the whole time. Man it's nice to have a truck bed again. I loved my FJ, but it sure alot easier to pack for a camping trip in the Taco.

 

Got my overland setup started. Ordered the mt. Rainier in the group buy and got my overland oven purchased. Just need a fridge and a sink now to complete the 'kitchen'.

Gonna be a summer of good eatin on the trail.

 

Bring everythin plus e kitchen sink nice!

After this weekend..I think everyone should make some lights like these



So handy!

Also wire in some LEDs into your RTT! You won't regret it

 

Hey Monte what led's did you use for the RTT?

 

looks good man

 

Well you guys are way ahead of me.

But I got a little fridge for Moab. Hopefully works ok for me.

 

Think I'll do something similar.

 

What oven did you purchase and where did you purchase it from? Do you really feel you need an oven? A camp stove is not sufficient?

This is the one I got, and no I don't think I NEED it, but it has a dual burner stove on top with a griddle and it made my wife love the idea of over landing even more, so it was a no brainer. Picked it up at Costco in red for 184. Smokin deal.

 

Wow that's cheap! Sounds pretty cool

 

She has dreams of casseroles on the trail

I am not opposed.

 

Smokin price at Costco. That's the same one I had been looking at, but in the end I decided it was not something I needed nor did I feel that I would really use the oven all that much. So I just decided to stick with my 2 burner coleman camp stove.

I'd like to read your review of that oven after you have used it and get a little feedback on it.
