Foresthill Divide over by Kirkwood in the Sierra.

Selling my 2009 Lux Cruiser, which has been a fantastic overlanding / expedition vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in fall 2019 with 98k miles in bone stock condition and built it out from there. It's super reliable, rugged, and quite capable off road. I needed more space so I went to a full...

We finished things up on Sunday AM, the day the Caldor fire ignited. Ran into some issues getting up Hawkins Peak on Thursday as HT Nat Forest had closed burnside road due to the Tamarack Fire. It's an unfortunate state we live in at the moment. I'm anticipating all of the NorCal National...

About 1.5 weeks, I had invited a group of friends out to the Downieville / Lakes Basin Area to hopefully take on the Lost Sierra Trail and capture some video along the way. Well, the Dixie fire wasn't having any of that as her smoke continued to bellow into the atmosphere and creep southward...

Hey folks, I'm in a Land Cruiser 200 (LX variant) at the moment, and looking to upgrade to a full size truck in the next year for the sake of extra storage (given current wait times, can you blame me for planning ahead!), improved MPG (diesel or hybrid), and the ability to hang out inside my...

Going to set aside some time to go through this one for some nice evening reading-- looks fantastic! Just got done with your Dome fire / Mojave write up. Really setting an unachievable benchmark for the rest of us in terms of quality photos and write up :p

I don't believe Smith River NRA sustained any major fire damage this past fire season. Ironically, I was in Mendocino NF when the lightning storm hit that ignited the August Complex + a number of other fires across Norcal. We awoke to thunder all around us, and decided it'd be smart to flee the...

We did not because we had another 150+ miles of backcountry roads to explore that day and the next. However, we reserved a Sprinter 4x4 and will be heading back in April, and hopefully doing a lot more exploring in the Smith River NRA. Shame they paved so much of Bald Hills-- they did leave...

I was hoping to find some plots of private land to fly the drone near Redwood NP, but that didn't happen. I did find this nice little spot a few miles outside of the park boundary and decided to take advantage of the situation. The Redwood Creek watershed is behind is, in the fog filled...

This photo does a great job of putting into perspective how massive these wood statues really are! Later that day we explored Coastal Drive, Elk Prairie and Gold Bluffs Beach. It looks like I opted for the video as opposed to still photos for much of this leg of the trip. As I had noted at...

A couple of weeks back I took my land cruiser and 6yo up to California's Redwood Coast. The plan was to explore the Redwoods, Smith River NRA, and some of the backroads in Humboldt County that I'd read about in various guide books. Unfortunatley, many of the backroads that I were previously...

This makes it sound like Alu-cab is working on a full size canopy camper... I really hope so!! Taken from their US Distributor's site: Unfortunately Alu-Cab does not have a product range for the Full Size truck. We at Alu-Cab and OK4WD realize the the market needs and hope to introduce to...

Rad photos and some crazy temperatures for early fall! We'll be in Northern NV and Eastern OR next month, probably going to freeze our balls off :P

I beg to differ on your definition of overlanding Scott. Technically speaking, overland travel is simply traveling from one location to another on land, whether it's by foot, horse, wagon, train, hoverboard, bicycle or vehicle. Think about all those emigrant and Mormon overland trails out...

Victory 4x4 Side panels. Pretty easy to attach to m Prinsu rack. https://www.victory4x4.com/product/VRK-SAP.html

I ended up using the 7 gallons of reserve fuel I had. If we had made the journey up to Big Eye Mine, it probably would've caused a lot of range anxiety on our way to gas in Yuma!

KofA is AWESOME. The tranquillity of the desert, especially during the cooler months is always refreshing. Time always seems to be the major inhibitor, especially with a long 10+ hour drive back to Northern California. I'm sure I'll make it down back that way, it's just a matter of when.

Day 3 Continued My 5 1/2 year old confirms that washes are just as much fun to play in as they are to drive in! The Antares mining cabin with the North Star and Evening Star mines behind it. There was even a small mining community with a half dozen or so residences not far from here that...
