    GX470 Bumper

    Victory has lengthy wait times on steel products. Im about 6 weeks on rock sliders got my GX470. Worth it though.

    New LX450 Owner

    Yep, what he said. I drive a GX470, tires happened immediately, I'm waiting for my sliders from Victory. Even taking it easy, if you crunch that bottom door frame you are hurting. Sliders seem like cheap insurance.

    Arctic Circle - December 18th 2021 - Jan 7th 2022 - Looking for people to join!

    Back in "The day", I drove the Alaska Hwy. many many times, in all seasons. I was a Yukon resident. You do realize you are traveling during the coldest weather any where on the planet. Your averages are way off. Vehicles just flat out do not like -40 degree weather. Gas doesn't ignite at -45. I...

    07 GX470 Upgrades

    Well, I put a victory 4x4 roof rack on it, sliders are on order but way back ordered. I think suspension should be next (?) Since this car is is my daily driver I m thinking of 2" lift. Im not a car guy, so what should I look for? Price wise? We pull an off road trailer with RTT on it. Tires...

    Who is a Wilderness EMT, Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness First Aid certified?

    Do any of those certifications really mean anything, except to the certifying body? There isn't a National Registry like NREMT is there?

    Maiden Overlanding Voyage

    We drove from Midd-Tenn. to Utah last summer, what I advise is State Hwy.'s all the way. The interstates are full and nasty, while NOBODY seems to use the State Highway system. You will have a ball, meet nicer gas station/food stop people and arrive marginally later. We drove for hours without...

    Grant Staircase Route planning Mar 18-22

    Washboard roads for miles. Have Air with you so you can air down and smooth out the ride. The little visitors center outside Escalante has great restrooms. There is dispersed camping for miles so stake out your little piece of desert.

    Moab with Mom

    Your car is fine, you won't need sliders. Mom will have a blast. There is so much to see, even from the pavement there. While in Moab, eat at Pasta Jays...........Thank me later.

    Up Through E.Quebec to Labrador, Alantic Coast,back through Maine

    No Carlo, you are free to travel; once you and team are across the border in Canada. I am Canadian, although I have lived the America for the last 30 years. I have forgotten all conversational French, so I would embarrass myself traveling around Quebec again after all this time. Have a great...

    Up Through E.Quebec to Labrador, Alantic Coast,back through Maine

    Brush up on a tiny bit of Francaise before you arrive La Bell provance... There is NO English Signage in Quebec. None. The people are nice, a lot speak English, but they won't speak it to you, at first. A simple Je ne parle pas français , or I don't speak French will help you.

    Canyonlands June 2021

    We were on white rim in June. We only camped at the first campground ( Air Strip ? ) or something. It was fully booked, but we were the only ones there. We saw a ranger while on the trail and he told us that was fairly common.

    US Southeast Coffee and Rigs

    We enjoyed meeting everyone there. Hopefully next time it will involve mud under the tires and camp fire smoke!
