Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

I "like" the way they spot each other. Go here, now turn here.....

 

People like that give us all a bad name. Poor way to make the show on discovery's part and bad for the entire offroad community

 

I didn't know that offroaders have a bad name, but this show can give the bad impression. If this show will describe what Expedition means , I don't think I'll interested in anymore.

 

Come to southern California, where enviro-Nazis are trying to shut down every bit of dirt there is to offroaders.

 

It was hard wired and fused to battery so always on. They're waterproof as it need to be I guess, I run these on my motorcycle and have never had a problem. They have small hole in bottom for drainage.

Actually kind of dig the VW vans. Kinda cool of you're just out exploring and not trying to hit trails.

 

I need better springs. The weight from my rack, boxes and RTT are flattening out my Allpoo Expos. Its leaning hard on the drivers side. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix it?

 

Have Deaver make a set for you. Not the least expensive option, but the results are very good.

 

Added a few thing to my truck over the weekend, I've been working on the rack for a couple weeks now off and on, all that's left before paint is he braces to the bed mounts.




Also added some hood lights, mounted on the Relentless Fab hood hinge brackets.

 

I sure hope not haha!

 

I"m currently deployed right now, but i'll be back soon. I can't wait to start on my overland build when I do get back. Me and my wife are already signed up for the 2015 overland expo in Flagstaff. I'm sure it will be alot of fun.

 

The one in Oct? a fellow member was asking if i wanted to go….

 

Well it is a merc. "Mercades...all or nothing" I guess they went overboard with the "all"

 

Sorry, I thought I was in the train thread looking at a caboose.

 

I had EXPOS and last year moved to a set of custom Built Alcan springs. They are simply awesome.

 

Do any of yall have an invertor in halls trucks, aside from the factory one on 2nd gens? At work we have a stinger brand 500watt and some other brand that is 2000watt. I'm looking to be able to charge my lap top, camera batteries, cordless power tool batteries and things like a blender for tailgating type events.
the main concern is where to put the the inveter, the 500w is about 5x8x2'' and the 2000w is about 12x14x5''

 

I keep my 1200 watt under the passenger seat. Currently both outlets and the USB are in the cab. I'm going to move one of the outlets to the bed of the truck soon though.

 

1200 watt enough for you? It looks like I can get a semi low pro 1000w through stinger.
