Do we need to start a overland section, and do we all just become best friends. Lol

Been doing the same thing myself.  This is where Im at. Looking for a decent 50" LED curved bar that wont break the bank w/ mounts if anyone has any suggestions.  Also been looking at the are ascend roof rack, but its pricey.

Not sure of the quality . There is 50” curved light made by Rough Country. With brackets it’s around $350-375. Still new to this not sure how to submit a link.

Still trying to decide what to do with mine.  The only sponsor I have (wife) is hit or miss lol. 



Fortunatley mine wants to build a Jeep. We are doing that after we are done with the truck.

Anyone in Houston want to help build a bed rack like the one below. I found this rendering on a you tube video.

We are just starting to get into overlanding here also. SO far have the truck and not much else. I am the sponsor along with the wife so it'll be a slow build . Try this site out, lots of good stuff there. https://www.overlandbound.com/

I really don't like the term overland on simple builds, seems silly to me. Either way here is my setup. Only had the truck 3 months or so, so still basic. I had the aluminum rack built locally.

It's builds like this, that make me wish I hadn't bought a High Country. Some days I wish I had bought a Regular cab long box fully loaded instead. Rigs look good guys...

Off topic, sure.  But next weekend we are headed up to a state park in MS, and the skeeters will be out for blood.   We rented a cabin but the boys want to truck camp.  Any safe/effective products out there best for keeping them (mosquitoes, not the boys) out of the camper shell so we can camp with the shell/tailgate open?

Skeeters are attracted to CO2. Dry ice in a styrofoam cooler with holes in the lid placed 10 yards or so is supposed to attract them to it instead of you. Not sure how well it actually works.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
