    RTT height on a Tundra question

    I have a tundra with a Leitner full size rack and had a Tepui tent for awhile and currently a James Baroud. I have taken many trails with the set-up and had no problems and it handled well. (well I had 1 problem, we were doing the Mojave Road and every morning I would check "all" connections...

    Open truck bed and rain?

    I had a Leitner ACS rack for about 6 years and love it, but I just moved to the ACS tonneau version. That way you have the best of both worlds.

    Rivian R1T (pickup) vs. R1S (SUV) for "overlanding"

    We are on the list for one and were a little pissed about the increase but were going to wait it out. We got an e-mail from Rivian this morning saying that people on the list before the increase get to stay at old price. They quickly realized they shot themselves in the foot.

    2022 Overland Expo West recommendations for first time attendee

    James Baroud lifting arm adjustment

    When we bought ours last year we were debating between the Evasion XXL and the Grand Raid XXL. The dealer told us one of his biggest issues with the Grand Raid was the struts and how hard it was to close. They put beefier struts to compensate for when there is a load in the rack. Since we...
