Welcome!

Looking forward to seeing your progress. I currently run the OME HD springs on my WJ with Bilstein 5100's. I have a set of JK wheels running LT245/70R17 AT3W's with no rubbing. I'd recommend those wheels or something else with a lower offset over stock as that will help with bigger tires. Iron...

Outfit it as best you can as needs arise. Once you've exhausted all options and the need for a new rig is there, then go that route. Save as bit here and there for another rig. Be mindful of upgrades so they can transfer to another rig, however not all of them will depending on which route you...

I've been all about these tires since they came out (before the craze). I had a few of my buddies rock them on their rigs as soon as they were available and raved about them so much that I made a point to get a set when I needed new tires. I dig them. Even in a lower ply, they're still pretty...

Check out Falken Wildpeak AT3W's. They're less that the usual BFG's and they're great! a good mix for everything I can throw at them. I think I paid about $150 a tire before the fees and tax. I think by the time I had all 5 done, I was around $850-$900 out the door. Not bad if you ask me

I would not go spacer lift after using the OME springs. IRO springs are good from what I hear but the shocks are junk. I really like my Bilsteins and IRO has them for less for a set of 4. Spacers aren't a bad way to lift, but with adding the weight of all the camping gear and then wheels and...

They're the JK Moab wheels in 17in so no spacers needed. Running LT245/70R17 of the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's. They measure out to about 31". You will probably need a lift before going to that size since I think WJ's only ran 235/70R17's in a P-load range which were maybe 29in, which is similar in...

Welcome! If you're on Facebook, we have a group called Konza Overland that I tend to use more for the local stuff.

Welcome! We do a bit more discussion on the Konza Overland page. Feel free to post about upcoming trips.

What do you have all of these accessories mounted on? Perhaps a Panavise inDash mount?

I've got this one on the map now. Looks like it'll intersect with my current route. Looks promising. I better bring my water shoes with all the water I'll be going through this weekend. Thanks!

I think that's where I've mapped out for the weekend. I have at least 100 miles of non-pavement to travel/explore from Cass to Deer.

Any suggestions on some good roads/trails in the area to hit up in the Ozark NF? I've got about an 80 mile route from Cass to Deer that should take me through a lot of good mix area. Hoping to find some areas to test my rig a little.

I've been plugging through the IVM (Interactive Visitor Map) per a suggestion from a friend. I have also downloaded the Avenza app since that's what the NFS suggested as well, but that's paid per map. Is there a good place near either NF to get a paper copy of the MVUM's for free???

Where is this at??

I'll be sure to take a few photos, but I mainly plan on relaxing and putting out the fire that is caused me to be burnt out. There are a few spots all over the state to run trails and camp out. iOverlander has been most helpful finding potential spots to camp. Just hoping someone more local can...

Baskets, both roof and hitch style will help a ton starting out. A trailer might be something to consider in the future, but you can find a cheap hitch mount cargo basket for not a lot of money to suffice. A roof rack or cargo carrier is a good option for the roof. I've traveled in my Jeep with...

I'd prefer dispersed if possible. But I'm open to a more formal campground if they're cheap or free to stay at.

These things are great! They are something I've looked at in my bike packing years to carry more water than what a Camelbak can hold and when I can't carry more bottles. I have honestly thought about them for Overlanding since they collapse down and since they can fit easily in a cooler. Now...

I am going on a solo trip next weekend in the NW part of Arkansas in the Ozark NF and Ouachita NF. I am traveling from central Kansas. Anyone recommend some good places to camp? I have 2 nights to plan for, and I plan on moving sites each night unless I find a premium site. Hoping to have a fire...
