It's really nice inside and roomy enough for two adults and a small child. With all the windows it amazes me how much of a breeze it will let in.

Last time it was about recovery and this time it's about comfort, at night that is. I have several on the ground tents that we've used over the years and I have nothing against them as they come in handy and do their job well. However I've been very interested in Roof Top Tents or RTTs as they...

No equipment failure, just bad judgement on my part. Didn't hurt it at all. I got a bruised ego but that's all.

You know the feeling when you can see what is happening and feel what is happening but you can't do a thing about it. That's the way I felt when it happened to me this week. I was exploring an area near Trinity, TX this past Thursday. It had rained the night before and the gravel road I was on...

Looking forward to the next EYOB.

I have had winches on several vehicles and you don't use them very often, but when you need one they pay for themselves.

After purchasing the GX and making the modifications in the first three segments already posted, I began to hit some things on the list that would require some cash outlay. A winch and a Roof-top tent, both would have to be purchased and neither was going to be cheap. While I was saving up for...

Thanks Nick, I appreciate your comments and your input.

Next on my list of improvements was off-road lighting. I had saved some led lights from my 2007 FJ Cruiser so this was a no new cost item. I installed them in the grill cavity after removing some plastic pieces that were in the way. I also had a pair of led work lights that I had installed on...

Welcome, you will find friendly and expert advice here. Enjoy

Good to have you onboard. You will meet some great people here.

I wanted to take a minute to thank Nick Bueno for putting this EYOB together and making it fun and interesting to attend. It's obvious to me that he is passionate about over-landing and the history of the areas we explore. This excursion into the Angelina National Forest was well organized and...

Well my list kept growing and I started saving up for the things I couldn't build myself. The first modification was a 2-3 inch lift and I settled on an Ironman Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 kit with KDSS. I waited, but not patiently, for their big sale event and was able to save some big money on this...

Phase 1: A few years ago I researched vehicles that would have a towing capacity of at least 6000# as we owned a boat that weighed in at around that weight. I ended up purchasing this 2013 Lexus GX 460 in very nice condition with just under 100,000 miles on the clock.Then here came COVID and I...

Well I bit the bullet yesterday and bought a new set of tires. I didn't end up with the Nitto Trail Grappler but instead I bought the tried and true GoodYear Wrangler in a 275 70 r18 which gives me a true 33 inch diameter as measured on the truck. They run quieter and smoother and were about...

I've been gathering up supplies and that would be great not to have so much stuff to get together. Do we need to bring our own fire wood?

I'm really glad we have a local adventure to Angelina National Forest coming up. I'm looking forward to spending some time away. I haven't made any upgrades to Lexy in a while so I'm hoping she's up to the task. I may see if I can upgrade the tires before this weekends trip. I'm looking at the...

After checking with my social director, the answer is yes, I will join the group on Saturday morning and stay until Sunday. Just need to know where to meet.

They all sound good to me, will try to make at least 2 or 3 of them. Big Bend would be a real adventure. Arkansas also sounds amazing, been there several times. When you get the dates set let me know. thanks

I'm checking my schedule to see if it's possible to make this trip. Would it be possible to meet the group on Saturday Morning at camp as I may not be able to get there on Friday?
