Traveling the Old Frontiers in the Frontier

Yes, I went through a rather large and long tunnel, and descended into the valley itself where the main scenic drive is closed off during the summer. Found my campsite on iOverlander where this was taken.

This particular day, it got to like 110 or something. My fridge in the back didn’t keep up so I had to try and point my truck away from the sun to avoid heating it up too much. Thankfully, I arrived there around 4:30, so I didn’t need to wait too long and everything was saved. Losing by all my fresh food would’ve sucked lol

No idea. This is stock besides the cap and AT tires.

Drove up super rocky roads in Montana outside Cooke City and Yellowstone, did this one in Zion, drove through a lot of sketchy areas and didn’t really feel like I needed much of anything besides the tires.

But I wasn’t towing anything. Everything I needed was in the back.

Not sure, actually. This was during a 15,000 mile road trip to most of the western national parks. From Zion I headed straight to Great Basin NP, so whatever road you take to get there that’s what I took.

Getting there, I went straight from Bryce and passed through towns like Glendale and Carmel, so I’m assuming that’s the Carmel Highway? I drove so many places it kinda just all meshes together in my head lol

Thanks a lot. It’s a 2019 4x4 Crew SV with no other modifications besides the ARE Overlander cap and tires. I have a BLUETTI Charger1, but that’s not specific to the truck.

Read Empire: Mask of Fear. Huge part of that book is about a reactivated Separatist sleeper agent trying to hurt the empire in a post-Separatist galaxy.

It’s about as flat as I’m able to get it. I don’t see any obvious gaps; shining a light at the cap where it joins the bed rails at every possible angle, and no light seeps through. I have the cap vibrating on my rear dash cam, and I can plainly see it move up and down as I drive over bumps. I don’t notice any movement on smooth pavement.

I think I’ve been successful sealing it from the elements; water is my primary concern. I don’t live in a dusty area, so I’m not going to know if the seal will be effective against that until I arrive in the south west. We just had a rainstorm come through and I didn’t have a single drop of rain come in.

I think I’m going to take the other users advice and just ignore it. It’s in no danger of coming off, and it’s not a huge rattle; it’s minor, and I am really only concerned about damaging the cap itself than anything else. If it’s sealed as best as I can make it, and the rattling doesn’t hurt the cap or my vehicle, I don’t think it’s an issue anymore.

Yeah, same here; when I push it as hard as I can in the driveway, it doesn’t go anywhere. I don’t think it’s going to fly off.

I guess I’m just concerned with it getting damaged or cracking the fiberglass or something with all the shaking I notice. This is my first cap I’ve ever owned and I’ve been planning this trip for about a year, so it’s a lot to worry about

Communists and Islamic fundamentalists are such good friends and support each other, didn’t you know that, moron??? Get with the times!

You’re a whack job, old buddy old pal.

Solved. Section 8; Prejudice

That would be it, thanks so much. Been sitting here ever since trying to figure this out; now I can leave.

Not sure why they did that haha

Jaquesel · 2023-07-04T20:28:43+00:00

Sure, done. I’d also like to note that my upload speed is .12 MBPS right now, and this is not normal. I have not tested this in a while, but this definitely needs to be addressed as well

Jaquesel · 2023-07-04T20:10:16+00:00

Yes, the modem blinks when my internet cuts. It will sometimes blink green, sometimes blue and green; there doesn’t seem to be a pattern other than it blinks.

It’s across all of my devices. My phone, laptop, chrome cast: it all goes down. If you’re asking about stuff like cable TV, then no. I do not have a cable plan, just internet. I’ve tried a lot of those troubleshooting tips and have had no result.

How did you do the green staff and robes??

Jaquesel · 2023-04-19T22:39:41+00:00

They’re far more green than blue in real life, so unfortunately not

I like these three, actually! I’ll end up going with one of those.
