[@OverlandFlorida]

Thank you.

[@henryi9738]

Awesome truck , great setup and gear you got. BTW, I love Everglades seasoning. Saludos from Miami 305 !

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thank you! Everglades is the best!

Im trying to build tent rack on my new maverick using thule roof rackthat supports 800 lbs and a bed rack that supports 500 lbs. The issue im having is they are differant height by 5 inches. Will be functional soon

[@OverlandFlorida]

Good luck with your build.

[@EdgarRodriguez-ms7yk]

Cool set up. Thanks for sharing!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thank you!

[@realityoverland3180]

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks. It works well this way.

Hello from Denver

[@OverlandFlorida]

Hey David, it's been a few years since I've been to Denver. I sure miss it out there.

[@SquawkCode]

YT recommended this vid... subscribed! Cool setup! Do you leave everything in there as shown full time? It'd be gone where I live.😆

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks for subscribing. I leave everything in my truck except the rotopax and fire extinguisher. The tailgate locks, so the camping gear is safe.

[@normalsizetom]

Nice set up man. I like the mavericks. I'm trying to get into overlanding in NW Florida with a 2 door wrangler. Planning on hitting up Appalach N.F. a lot.

[@OverlandFlorida]

You should be fine in a 2 door jeep. I used one for many years.

[@jv6miata]

I'm in NW Florida with a 2wd durango, is there anywhere local that's nice but simple for a newbie?

[@normalsizetom]

@@jv6miata check out water management areas near you. They have camp sites, some primitive but with easy trails to get to. Just start scoping them out and decide on a place to start. I'm going to start simple before trying anything too remote.

[@NarleyAdventures]

👍👍👍👍👍, Nice!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks Narley!

[@Omastormy]

I like those Apache Cases. What size are the larger ones you have in the pull out drawer? Those would fit perfectly for what I plan to do with my Unicorn Maverick.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Do you live near Lakeland? I'm selling all my cases. I think they are almost $50 each.

[@Omastormy]

@@OverlandFlorida No, sorry I live in Iowa.

[@theshop5331]

What height is the top of the cross bars on the extrusion? Are you happy with that height?

[@OverlandFlorida]

I believe it’s 13 inches. It was the perfect height for me. I’d do it all over again. I wouldn’t go lower.

[@tehcafe]

I’m about to buy and xtrusion rack and I was wondering, I also have a gator trifold cover, did you just get the standard wing bracket option?

[@OverlandFlorida]

I got the wide brackets. Use code OverlandFlorida to save some money.

[@chorks23]

I have a ford roll up tonneau cover , would your mount work w this ?

[@OverlandFlorida]

I really don’t know.

[@Lagniappe.]

Nice set up, how does the top rifle case attach to the rack? I'm getting a ladder rack added to my kayak trailer and considered adding something like that to it.

[@OverlandFlorida]

You can just take some self tapping screws and attach it to your ladder rack.

[@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186]

Solid set up. What is thinking w extinguisher. Also you gonna get a wedge tent or wedge canopy?

[@OverlandFlorida]

A lot of jeeps and vehicles overheat while off roading and catch fires. I have a roof top tent now.

[@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186]

@@OverlandFlorida I'm in pnw so not as many fires.

[@SquawkCode]

Where'd you camp around Ocala? I'm planning to move to Florida and buying a Mav.

[@OverlandFlorida]

You can basically camp anywhere in Ocala.

[@MauroMarzorati]

So day-in/day-out stuff (eg not on an outing), the fridge is plugged to the truck/starter battery. What is your estimate for the amount of time the alternator is replenishing your starter battery, as a daily average? I ask because my truck spends days upon days in the garage (I work from home), so I keep it plugged to the wall (laptop 20V/90W charger plugged into a generic MPPT CC into the AGM starter batt)

[@OverlandFlorida]

I'm not sure how long my truck would need to run in order to charge the battery.

[@justold8570]

what height did you choose on xtrusion bed rack?

[@OverlandFlorida]

13 inches. Be sure to use the code and save some money.

[@wayne8268]

how does that rifle case etc effect gas mileage on the interstate

[@OverlandFlorida]

The only effect is has is wind noise. I averge 26.5. Without the rack and rifle case I was at 27.5.

[@timhoover5507]

Does everything lock that is mounted on the rack ?

[@OverlandFlorida]

You can lock everything. But I don't have anything locked.

[@waldemarhmelnickiy6139]

Чето я памперсов там не увидел?....

[@rolandazurin4273]

Cool, are you a diver?

[@OverlandFlorida]

I'm dive certified, but unfortunately I don't dive very much at all.

[@rolandazurin4273]

@@OverlandFlorida aww well I dig your license plate flag! Anywho, great build and thanks for explaining and giving me ideas!

[@OverlandFlorida]

@@rolandazurin4273 thank you and you are welcome!

[@TheYankmchain]

Be sure to put an oil catch can on it!

[@OverlandFlorida]

That's what I've read.

[@NotTrav]

Have you seen this maverick at overland expo? Pretty sick and amazing it still gets like 22 mpg. I had a honda ridgline for a while and it was super capable but no love from the off road community, super happy you are showing a different point of view - very cool! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfEhHSKjbFpfpI

[@OverlandFlorida]

I haven't watched the video on that maverick yet. I like the new Ridgelines and the pilot trails are nice too! 👌

[@rickysiebert9618]

Lazy Hiker Brewing!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Yes sir! I stop by every time I’m up in Franklin.

[@stngstr]

Why did you choose a vehicle with such limited offroad capability?

[@OverlandFlorida]

It's practical. I save a lot of money with it and it still does all the trails I used to do and I can still go camping.

[@Gus-bx8jx]

talk about your truck,,, not all the s**t in a plastic container... geeeee

[@OverlandFlorida]

You could have stopped watching at any time.
