See….. :sombrero: Even Matchbox has taken notice of the poster child of the outdoor adventure scene...bed mounted rooftop tent and all. Can wait to find this on the Walmart pegs in 2017! They will also have a 1995 Chevrolet G-30 campervan/Sportsmobile outdoor adventure rig with a...

No, not a Raptor rival but more of TRD Pro rival… Pretty ugly and pretty disappointing they continue to use the electric Rotatory dial shifter to command the sweet ZF derived 8 speed. LINKY to Autoblog and TLFTruck

Saw this on Facebook the other day and didn’t notice it posted here anywhere. Sorry if this is a duplicate post…. Anyway, ARB posted a teaser picture of a new series of bumpers for the big 3 full-size HD trucks. For the 2011+ Ford guys, ARB already has a nice PDF document on their website with...

Last week there was an interesting link on Jalopnik to a story in Road & Track of Canadian adventure driver Garry Sowerby where he took a 1984 6.2L diesel GMC Suburban on a 12,531 mile Africa-Arctic Challenge, fastest ever voyage from the south tip of Africa to the north of Europe. He completed...

This is not the typical Mohave Rd and Death Valley trip report. This one is different, as it involves an old truck, rubber duck and two Dodge Rams. No high dollar Jeeps, Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, roof top tents or Backcountry adventuring for photography skill advertising and product...

Wholy Cow! Have you guys seen this storyon Autoblog? Bad weekend in the mountains, eh? Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't see this anywhere else on Expo.

After spending a very enjoyable weekend in Flagstaff at OX2012 we hit up some of the usual hotspots the remainder of the week. Reading reports of Antelope Valley, Zion and Toroweap are nothing new on Expo but I don't think anybody ever really gets tired of seeing pictures of that area, so...

Not by any means an Overlander or even weekend exploration rig but thought I would share my latest fuel injected engine swap project with you all. Took a 1993 C1500 Sportside with a 4.3L V6 and stuffed a TBI 7.4L big block in it. Funny little project for my father in law. This is also what...

Not that we really needed another vehicle in our family of 2 but we couldn’t pass this one up. We bought this ole girl from a gentleman my wife worked with at the school district. He purchased it brand new from Pueblo Toyota in June 1992. In 20 years he only racked up 122,948 miles on her...

Well, I ran across this Suburban on Craigslist late Thursday night and I knew that I had to have it. I could barely sleep that night thinking about it in anticipation to call the guy first thing Friday morning and wondering how I was going convience the wife that I need another toy. It is a...

It seems the 2011 Adventure season is all but a memory now. 2011 brought two major upgrades to my old rig which made the 5,000+ miles of playtime much more enjoyable this year. The first upgrade being a NV4500 5 speed manual trans with overdrive and the second being a new 2011 custom built...

My wife and I took a vacation to Aruba last week and went on a touristy off-road trip to the other side of the island. The neatest part of the entire trip was the fact the tour company just got a fresh fleet of new Defender chassis cabs. Man, these trucks were cool! It was actually the first...

With winter comes new projects and upgrades for project truck Bigassgas. Years past brought an 8.1L conversion, winch bumpers, lockers, etc. This year it was time to upgrade the transmission from an old dump truck direct drive SM465 4-speed to a more modern NV4500 5-speed with overdrive...

I special ordered this topper new from Snugtop in 2006. Sale includes roof rack (hi-lift jack not included) and custom made interior. The roof rack came with the topper where Snugtop claims the rack and reinforced roof is good for 300 lbs of cargo. There are zero cracks or scrapes anywhere on...

3 guys, 2 trucks and 5 very hot days traveling the back country of Utah. We began our journey on the Hole in the Rock trail, which is a trail we spent a short amount of time on last year but ran out of time. After a few days on the Hole in the Rock trail we headed up towards Canyonlands...

Made a quick snow run to a nearby mountain top on Black Friday. A couple feet of well packed snow from snow cats and snow mobiles cruising over. A beautiful day too! It was around 65 degrees. Very dry on the west side of the mountain. My buddy's Ram Charger almost going off the...
