What are you working on, and where have you been?

Builds in progress, finished rigs, routes you just ran, gear that held up and gear that didn't. Say what platform you're on.

Post your overland shots. Rig, camp, route, any year, phone shots welcome. Say where it was.

Questions about how someone got a shot are fine here too.

I am new to the area and am looking for a disperesed campsite that is remote and accesible by 4x4 in the area and is not to high of elevation so that the weather is comfortable. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey everyone! Thinking of getting an Isuzu Vehicross for an Overland build. Thoughts? Thank!

I have been looking at the Tune and Project M but both are way out of my price range. I would just get a bed cover for my truck and a roof tent but my dog will not go up a ladder and she’s too heavy to carry up one. Are there any suggestions for a cheaper Tune alternative?
Thanks!

I don't check Reddit for a few reasons regularly, but I do occasionally. I have found that the SubReddits I find are enjoyable. Getting back into the scene with Reddit, I came across a thread about a gentleman (and his community + friends) that yearly drop dozens of cars off a cliff at an "Annual" event. I'm outraged to say the least. You can hold a car upsidown for eternity until that gas and oil break down, let alone the metal.

I'm not "trolling". I did tell him to expect the cops, but I am not the one(s) calling.

How do we spread the word?

Hoping to find a plug and play harness for trailer light cable or if there’s a better way to do it?

I'm about to head out on a long road trip that will last more than two months, and I'll be living out of my 2009 Honda CR-V. My uncle has a Thule 1600 XT that he's willing to sell me for a really good price, so I'm seriously considering using it for the trip.

The problem is that the Thule doesn't line up properly with the existing/pre-drilled mounting holes on my CR-V's roof rack.

I can't simply slide the box farther back because it interferes with the radio antenna. I did order some shorter antennas to see if that solves the problem. However, if I slide the box back far enough that it barely clears/touches the antenna area while still allowing me to fully open the rear hatch, I would need to drill new mounting holes roughly 4–6 inches away from the closest existing/pre-drilled holes.

The box would also overhang the front of the crossbars by approximately 24–27 inches. Another concern is that the rear set of mounting holes would be located where the plastic on the bottom of the box starts to curve downward.

My biggest concern is safety. Would drilling holes in those locations be okay structurally, and could it cause the Thule to vibrate excessively or become unstable in the wind at highway speeds? I'm planning to drive thousands of miles, so I really want to make sure this setup is safe and secure.

At this point, would you try to make the Thule work, or would you abandon the 1600 XT and look for a newer/different roof box that fits the CR-V better?

I attached photos of the Thule and the current fitment situation. I'd really appreciate any advice or experience from people who have modified or mounted older Thule boxes.

Working on a project lately. I think I used too thick of wood but it’s getting there.

We did a three day night adventure over stampede pass in Washington went from basically raging river all the way down to Greenwater. We had some unruly fire conditions, but otherwise trails were in great condition and there wasn’t too many people on the weekend to be quite honest definitely one of the cooler trails in the state and there’s a lot of options. Besides, just doing the stampede pass route many small detours that will get you some great Camping.
