    Grenadier Pricing Announced

    Configuration is live now, and I see there’s an article on the home page of Expo about it already. However I have to say not withstanding Scott’s comparisons on US pricing in his article, my perspective is very different as a Canadian. I built out two Grenadiers on the configuration tool. The...

    Help with Tire Sizing

    Hi folks, My Canyon is due for a new set of tires, and our national tire warehouse (Canadian Tire) has a heck of a sale on right now for their Motomaster brand tires. Normally I'd stick to Coopers or BFGs, but it just so happens that Motomaster, the Can Tire store brand, are made by Cooper so I...

    Propane Question: Stove won’t work when Furnace is on?

    HI folks, The short version of a long story is I’m blissfully calling an 18 foot RV “home” for the foreseeable future due to some positive changes in my employment - I got a great new job in a wonderful community, and so we’re doing the “RV Life” thing until we can afford a bit of property. We...

    Garmin In-Reach Failure

    Hi folks, I'm on my usual month-long journey around Canada, and am just in the last week or so of my trip. Sadly, it'll all be done within a cell network, which is not quite what I planned. I'm posting this up in case others are, like me, depending on a Garmin In-Reach Mini for emergency...

    Electric on-demand water heater?

    Hi folks, I'm revisiting my electrical system as my Deep Cycle has given up the ghost. I need to buy a new battery anyway for my rig (my Deep Cycle AGM won't hold a charge anymore) but before I pull the trigger on a potential $1k battery (Yes, I'm drooling on Lithium!), I'm considering my other...

    Shower Awnings

    Hi folks, These kinds of awnings are becoming more and more popular in Australia and elsewhere, and I'd like to add one to my build. I had one picked out but have decided to change directions slightly, so I thought I'd ask this group for feedback. I did a search but didn't see any threads...

    2019 Dice Roll Challenge in Northern BC

    Hello all, My partner and I (the better half of CoT) like to make video trip reports — a way of bringing both Overlanding and video hobbies together. Last year, we decided to do something a little different with “The Dice Roll Challenge”. Every day, we rolled a dice. If we rolled a 1, we’d go...

    Canyon/Colorado auxiliary 4x4 Indicator?

    Hey folks, I had a question that I'm sure others also have about their 2nd gen Colorado/Canyon. As far as I know this is not an issue on the DMax or the Holden which put the transfer case switch on the centre console, so this is just an issue on the North American Canyon/Colorados. The Canyon...

    Optimate vs Redarc vs CTEK DC to DC chargers

    Hi folks Like the title says, what are the pros/cons of these three suppliers of DC to DC chargers? There’s folks in this community with way more knowledge than I and I’m hoping they can chime in. There is also a lot of old information on dual battery setups from before the days of these smart...

    Part One: Our Rig History Welcome to our build thread, everyone! I'm working on editing a video of our build too, and I'll post that once it's finished. This content will be posted on our blog and on Overland Bound, and I'll try to keep all updates easy to find. First, a bit about us and our...

    Let’s talk Fuel Filters

    Hi folks I know the majority of us never leave North America and as such fuel filtration may not be high on the priority list, but it’s a worthy discussion all the same. In remote areas fuel is often dispensed from questionable containers with a high risk of both particle contaminants and...

    Rancho 2" Sport Lift

    Hi folks, Does anyone have any direct experience with the Rancho 2" sport lift kit, as shown here: https://www.4wheelparts.ca/Suspension/2-Sport-System-with-RS9000XL-Shocks.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=38&t_pt=3533&t_pn=RANRS66119BR9 At first glance, it seems pretty good: Progressive springs, which in...

    Overlander's Preventative Maintenance

    Hi folks, I just spent my long weekend on my back under my 2013 JK removing the transmission for the 3rd time. The first time was because the Throwout bearing went bad at 20,000 kms. The second time was at around 90,000 kms when the factory clutch finally went. At 120,000 kms, the slave...
