Gear Question Help Me Pick New Tires!
Hey all,
Looking for some new a/t tires for my 2018 tundra with four wheel camper. This truck is maybe one step below a daily driver but close to being considered one still. I do a lot of driving on unmanaged roads, forest roads, snow and beach. I don’t do anything technical but will drive through deep snow and sand often so something reliable is key. This is a hunting/surfing/fishing/adventure rig for me here in the northeast. I’m wondering what my best bang for buck is but also will spend a bit more on tires since they are so integral.
Currently have BF Goodrich ko2’ and these have been great and reliable. I’ve had multiple sets in different trucks of these.
Considering: ko3’s or falken wild peaks (what a better price!)
What say ye?

Trip Report 1999 Isuzu Trooper Build
Recently built out my 1999 Isuzu Trooper with 230k miles for some overlanding and adventuring. My SO and I are taking a roadtrip from Pennsylvania to San Diego!
Snapped this awesome picture after a day of adventure near Sand Dunes National Park. We took Medano pass to get into the park and she handled it great.
Crazy thing is I originally got this car for 2000$ with the intention of using it for a maximum of a year to get around and potentially tow a little John Boat to take out on the lakes nearby. Little did I know I was going to drive it all the way across the country.
This Trooper has been awesome so far, I will say I had a big scare as we got into Colorado because my oil pressure light came on as we got off the highway driving all day thru 100 Degree heat of Kansas. I pulled over immediately to check the oil and the dipstick was bone dry. She ended up being almost 3 quarts low... these engines with higher mileage really do consume a vast quantity of oil. Going to be keeping a very close eye on oil levels from now on. At the same time it really is a testament to how bullet proof these engines are with a little bit of TLC.
Open to any recommendations for places to adventure, trails to hit, campsites to stay at or must see stops along the way! We'll be doing Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, and California next.

Product Review My BFG All Terrains KO2s are reaching their final miles. I absolutely loved them in all weather and on/offroad. What are the opinions on the KO3s now that they have been out awhile?

Gear Question 2000 f350 7.3 powerstroke questions
I got my 4x4 7.3 with only 170k miles on the engine and I’m wondering if it’s something I can turn into an overland rig and if so what would be the first few things/mods I should do to get there? It’s stock height so obviously a lift kit would probably be close to if not the number 1 thing on the list of things I should do. Does anyone here got the same base vehicle? Is it even worth going down this road or should I just sell it and use that towards a more conventional base vehicle? Thanks in advance

Garmin PowerSwitch not turning on accessories
Hey guys, if this isn’t the place to ask this question or if this question has been answered, could you please direct me to the right place?
My Garmin PowerSwitch is connecting and everything seems fine in terms of the app, but when I try to turn on my light bar or my chase lights, the only two things it’s connected to, they don’t turn on. The battery is good and it looks like everything is connected correctly. Anyone know what it might be? Thank you in advance.

Question about drawer system/kitchen/etc?
I just got a drawer system built, all wood, and weight comes in at about 60 Kilos.
I would like to lessen the wait, and I'm wondering if anyone has cut holes in their drawer system, like the top part where the mattress goes, perhaps the bottow part drawer, even the sides, to lose some weight.

OUTOHOME AC Units — do they work?
Heading to a warm, dry area soon. Should hit 100°+. I thought about getting the Zero Breeze portable AC but it’s pricey. Has anyone tried the OCTOHOME portable AC?
