The best riding vehicle I've ever driven off-road is my XJ Cherokee. 2" shackle/spacer lift on stock springs, Fox 2.0 Shocks, 32/10.5-15 tires on stock wheels. On-road or off it absorbs bumps and whoops like nothing else. Drop the air pressure in the tires to 18 psi and even the tiny bumps...

Before you order an Android tablet, verify that it has onboard GPS. Many of the cheaper tablets are no longer coming with a GPS receiver.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8"

Kelty 4 man, a double-wide self-inflating mattress, bag depends on the temps, I also use a Kelty 16' tarp. I recently bought a Gazelle T4 to use when space isn't a consideration. This is my last campout with my daughter.

I have a 1988 Tin Top. It started out with a lot of lift and 33" tires but was not fun to drive on the road. It's now on 30" tires and much better behaved. I don't drive it as much since I picked up my XJ but it's still one of my favorite vehicles. Some of the work I've done to it is here...

Can you pull the hitch and take it with you and then stick a locking pin in the hole?

No, the boards and the plate are fastened to a shelf above the tire and the plate will flex enough to get the tire out when needed. Here is a closer picture from when I was building it. From the side.

2, green copycat boards. They mount above the spare on the back.

Sometimes it's the 06 Ridgeline. Sometimes it's the 2000 Suburban. Sometimes it's the 2000 Cherokee. Sometimes the 1988 Samurai. Sometimes it's the RV. And on occasion, it's two of them at the same time. It depends on where we are going and what we are doing. Most of it is at least 20 years...

After ripping several off while offroad and having them disappear, I won't order an expensive set. Invariably, they get caught between the tire and an obstacle when in reverse, and they are gone. These have been reinstalled several times.

Onroad, I use a 7" Garmin and keep it up to date. Offroad I use an 8" Samsung tablet and GAIA. That gives me a little bit of redundancy and GAIA maps are top-notch and sync across all my platforms. I can do my planning on the desktop and it automatically syncs to my phone and tablet.

My 07 Silverado ran 220k miles without issue. There were a bunch that had issues, but the large majority of them didn't. Sorry you're having issues. If you caught it fast enough, there is a kit to replace all the parts and do away with the AFM.

I'll be in Pickens in a couple of weeks camping. That area is one of my favorite places in the world.

Welcome from another oldish guy down on the coast of SC.

These guys are very good as well.

I will listen to just about anything. My current kick is a cappella groups. These guys are pretty awesome.

I'm shooting a Sony A7M2, and Nikon AW120, and my LG V40 phone. I shot this one the other day with the Sony. This is an artesian well in the Francis Marion NF. It's been flowing for better than 100 years.

Do you leave your wallet in a back pocket? That is a guaranteed backache for me. As far as lumbar, I set the seat so my back is straight.

I'll second being a ground guy. The thought of navigating a ladder at 3 am to find a handy tree is not on my list of things to do. It would probably be safer to fight the bear.
