She is looking like a lot of fun. Hope you’re out this weekend enjoying it. Sadly I’m not out this year on my annual kickoff trip, however I’m getting prepped for a long bikepacking trip in the next few weeks

Trailer weight is unloaded for registration in Oregon. My Zion Off-road trailer weighs in at 1,300 lbs dry and 2,300 loaded. DMV wouldn’t let me register it.

You would probably will have to DIY yourself a snorkel. Find something close to what you want and modify it to fit.

A question I get asked a lot is; “Where do I take my test for amateur radio license?” The go to answer used to be go find a local club and set up your test through them. Now however, online testing is becoming more prominent. The largest online testing group is WM7X. Stephen Hutchenson has...

I disagree. A 4 season tent is not essential for survival… even with temps way below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Neither is a winter rated sleeping bag. A thick wool blanket, and an emergency “space” blanket is all a person needs for shelter inside their rig. What I would have given for even an...

The Stage 5 is almost 30k. And is pretty much what I got in my stage 4 with accessories.

After much discussion, it has been decided that it is best I keep it. I had to take a break from working on it, but after this past summer I’m ready to tackle the electrical gremlin one more time…

I need to also update this thread, we have returned to Northeastern Oregon for the winter. My wife and I are currently staying with my dad’s cousin as we plan out the next stages of our journey. We spent 5 months on the road, visited 8 states, 4 national parks, and met many wonderful people...

I need to take some better pictures of the trailer…an make a build thread as I start modifying it. Zion Off-Road Z1 with Stage 4 Package (when I do my build thread I will list all my specs and accessories) teaser photo dump My trailer Zion Off-Road H.Q in St. George Utah ready to be picked up.

You Bronc is coming along nicely… mine is currently tucked away in storage until spring when I can wrench on her again.

To answer the OP’s question… yes it’s happening all around our country and from reports I have read a crossed the globe.

I traded the broken down Expedition for the Ram, still have the Bronco with the expectation of selling it in the spring. The Rhino Rack is too long to fit on top in the traditional sense, but I’m looking into options to make it work. If not, it will be up for sale as well.

The cost and the modularity is what sold me on the trailer. The trailer is currently being built and should be finished by the end of September. Once the trailer is done I’ll be posting pictures and a full review
