Ep. 35: Would You Buy a Trailer and Overlanding on Facebook Marketplace

What do Goose Gear, used mud terrains, cross-country skiing in the Methow Valley (yes, that’s MET-HOW), and a futuristic Honda camper trailer have in common? Apparently… this episode.
Garrick breaks down his recent Goose Gear cargo plate and fridge slide install in the 3rd gen 4Runner—what went smoothly, what didn’t (missing hardware, no instructions), and whether it’s actually worth the money. He also shares thoughts on Titan Straps and why the cargo plate might be the real MVP.
Melody dives into the surprisingly competitive world of selling used mud-terrain tires on Facebook Marketplace—how to price them, when to sell, and why ATs might finally be calling her name.
We also cover:
- Cross-country skiing in the Methow Valley and how the trail pass system works
- Gravel riding in 60° January weather
- The pros and cons of used gear buying (and selling)
- Honda’s new “Base Station” prototype camper trailer
- Monitoring vehicle temps when your dog is in the car (peace of mind matters)
Plus, random recommendations featuring a next-gen climbing gym and the humble but mighty Swedish dish sponge.
Winter might be weird this year, but that doesn’t mean the adventures stop. Plan the trip. Make the lemonade. Get outside.
RTR — Over and out.
