The Snow gods are smiling, and the Sierra region will see over 15" in 24 hours starting Friday night . Is anybody here for a day trip to Mormont Emigrant Trail (MET) on the 2nd of Feb (Saturday). Any other destination like Uncle Tom will also do. We did one such trip (Two GX and a FJ) two...

Yes, it was amazing. And please share more detail about "Uncle toms"

Sure. Join GXOR page. We announce all GX events there. Planning another one in 3 weeks or so BTW everyone, MET was a hoot. Lots of lifted trucks around, and everyone getting stuck.

Sony A7 with Tamron 15-30 F2.8 Canon mount, attached using Sigma MC11 adapter.

I usually do F2.8, ISO 6400 ~20 seconds approx exposure. As for foreground. To really get a foreground you need a faint moon. Or you need to use a flashlight, like my display picture

Thanks Earlier I saw that MET had chained barriee from sno park side on 50. What is the best entry point

I hear you! Once we went south of the Bay area to watch Perseid shower, and people were not even looking up. Saw fireballs too!

Looking forward to this one.

For me, overlanding was getting close to something I really love. the night skies. That's what drove me to invest in 4x4 vehicles to go far far away, away from the lights, in search of the stars And as the light creeps everywhere, you have to go further and further away to find the true beauty...

I hope its not a silly question. I got the ultimate pack, now can see the members area and stuff, but my profile does not have a member number.... How do I find my member number. Got the secret code and activated my membership too

I use Osm and with downloaded maps in most places. For no road navigation (eg flats), OSMAND works okay as you can lay down your track, but ORUXMAPS is what I use for that as it has lot of no road navigation features. For example, once crossing the Rann of Kutch(Little Rann) I borrowed a gpx...

With the storms rolling in, we are thinking of doing a day trip from the Bay area. The rigs are mildly lifted (mostly GX) and couple of us have Winches too. Looking for some forest trails reachable within 3-4 hours from Bay area where we can off road in not so deep snow. We earlier thought...

Will try and make it!

This is a very nice build. I am also looking at doing a suspension upgrade since the rear shocks/dampers have all but failed. Surprisingly, the airbags at 165000 miles are still doing fine. That said, I have decided to do the conversion, and will be going for the OME kit. Bilsteins look...

Queen or full size air mattress. Costs 8-15$ (intex) Works great and smoothes out everything. Bonus.. You get workout of 10 min with hand pump to fill Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the welcome. Had some nice trips in the past couple of months. This is a great dirt road rig, and with the ride getting harsh, I guess a suspension upgrade should be 15,000 miles away. Kcrkolby, would love to see some normal rigs at Hollister, all I see are modified vehicles with...

It will be in Nevada and Oregon. Just carrying 10 gallon etc., for the "Apo-eclipse"

I may need to carry about 10 gallon extra fuel, and have two EPA certified GAS cans. However, I am not very comfortable on them sitting in the vehicle while driving because I think they do vent some fumes. I was wondering, can I carry them on my tow hitch carrier? I have a 2" receiver tow hitch...

Thanks King. Thats a nice Cherokee you have. I have been reading that the old cherokee is one of the most reliable vehicles you can buy today. Does it have a 5 speed or 4 speed gbox?
