  1. Overland True North

    Need opinions on this setup, please.

    Until now my wife and I have used cell phones, maps, and books to do all of our overland outings. When we were out of cell coverage we just dealt with it. We are now expanding our horizons past the "trail book" destinations. So we need more tools. We are looking at the Garmin Mini and running...

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    ALL of my Overlanding plans are NOW centered around pulling the Jeep in the garage and going through it nose to tail. Gonna cleanup wiring, reorganized my supplies, check dates on things (medical items), learn my ham radio better, build a storage/drawer/fridge slide in the back. IF Gobi gets my...

    Jeep onboard running water system.

    You said: I do not want to carry water on the roof rack (for what should be obvious reasons) May I ask what the obvious reasons are before I buy the Front Runner water jerry cans and dual holder for the top of my jeep. They would be affixed to the GOBI rack. I see many Overlanding Vehicles with...

    Frontrunner Accessories any good?

    I have 4 of the Wolfpack storage boxes, two of the metal jerry cans with the lockable carry holder...all very good BUT I felt/feel I overpaid a tad.

    Ham Radio License

    Officially Passed my test! Already got my "Callsign".....Installed the main body of the Radio under the drivers seat on a DIY platform suspended about 4" off the floor between the seat rails. I think this gives me a little more peace of mind than sitting on the floor.

    Are you flying a drone? this information may be essential.

    I'm getting a Mavic Pro once I'm done setting the Jeep up.... The Airspace in most of the places we Overland in/to is "uncontrolled airspace". Even if I had to go the part 107 route it would still be worth it.

    Pros and cons

    I just went through the same decision making process. I went with the Gobi because I know folks that have one AND i could get the Ranger edition with the front end that allows for the 6-7 inch lights. I'm not a fan the rectangle/square lightbars. I like the "old school" look of the four bigger...

    What tire size are you running?

    35" Nitto Trail Grapplers 3.5" AEV lift...the tires are because of the needed protection here in the rocky desert areas...these are just the most reliable here in my experience.

    What to do In the off season.

    What to do In the off season.

    Here in Arizona we don't have an "off season" really, BUT I do not do any planned wrenching on the Jeep during the summer. 100-121 degrees from june to September...brutal. When it is hot here we do our Overlanding in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Cali and on up the west coast.
