So, no one asked what kind of driving you plan on doing. Are you doing fire roads? Most of the time stock can be fine, wet and muddy, rutted will be challenging. Going to Moab and runnning the trails? The trails are pretty much for 40" tires. People have been using larger and larger tires and...

Have you tried an image search on gooooooooooooooooooooooogle?

Take a mountain bike with you, it beats hiking for hours to get a signal.

If I didn't have a bucket load of rachet straps, I would buy some Matt's straps. https://mattsoffroadrecovery.com/collections/accessories/products/matts-straps

Excuse my ignorance, if they do a gear reduction at the axle, does that not lower your hiway speeds? I had a friend with a Volvo on portals and he could only get up to around 62mph. Is that why?

I agree with you if you keep the 33's(in reality who does?) the gain in under body clearance is a +. Not so sure of the less stress on the drivetrain though. Wouldn't it remain the same or even increase as one tried more technical obstacles? For me it kinda gets back to what is Overlanding? Is...

I was hoping for German Cholate Cake.........The desert is nice though!

My first thought is why? On an overlanding vehicle? I could see it on a rock crawler. If you are really going on a trip of the lifetime for perhaps weeks and months, it's just one more thing to go wrong. How will you get it fixed in the Congo? If you are going to Moab for a week and trailering...

Sounds like Ai to me.

That black and white was a WARN winch ad in the 70's.

I'd say by the color moose or horse, elk should be lighter?

I just replaced the glass in mine. :sunglasses:

I was out last night comet hunting. The moon washed out most of it, plus I have a phone for pics.

Here is a goooooooogle search for CDT NM MTB; https://www.google.com/search?q=CDT+NM+MTB&oq=CDT+NM+MTB&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRiPAjIHCAYQIRiPAtIBCTE2NTMxajBqN6gCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Or the Great Divide Mountain Bike...

Done, good luck! Don't forget to update us on the results! Oh yea, the first and second questions had the same choices for answers.

So, I'm a Land Rover guy. I bought my first one, a 64, in Aug 73, in Jan of 74 I traded it in on a new 73 at the dealership some 40 miles away. I was 22 and new nothing about cars having just got out of the USN. The next morning there was a huge oil slick under it. I called the dealer, who said...

That's a Pelican case I picked up off Craigslist with a factory padded divider, I guess for maybe camera stuff. I have that box filled with kitchen/fire stuff. The white bucket with the blue lid is my coffee set up, stove, Stanley kettle, 2 kinds of beans, cups, coffeemate, lighter, filters, etc....

I've been using Action Packers since the 70's. Only drawbacks are I can't sit on them and there is no dust seal. I bought some edge seal and that helped with the dust issue. I also use Pelican cases or Nanuk cases for the durability and sealing. But hey! a plastic bucket with a lid works too...

I'm kinda suprised no one addressed this. If you hit a bump and it goes crazy, something is loose in your suspension, bushings, connections, something. I hope you got it all sorted by now.

Boondocking has always confused me. We used to call our boots in the Navy "boondockers", What does boondocking have to do with boots?
