Great work! Might want to edit the thread title. Humiliation is probably not the word you were looking for.

You might check out the South Carolina Adventure Route. It's a fun but not overly challenging tour of the state and covers all kinds of terrain in its 1000 mile loop. Info and GPX files are here: The South Carolina Adventure Route.

I used to run BFG KO2. They were decent but they didn't age well at all. Good traction, but as they aged, they got very noisy and rode like wagon wheels. I've switched to Falken Wildpeaks. They are a good bit cheaper than the BFGs and better in every way. I now run Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires...

I've been running a XBull 13k for a little over a year now. It has done everything I have asked it to. IIRC it was $369.

A pillow can make or break a night's sleep. I bring the one from home.

I've been ignoring the XJ for the last month or so and spent time working on the way off-road machine. Otherwise known as the boat. She is getting a new engine.

As bought. As it sits now.

Honestly? I don't particularly like people. Campgrounds are full of them so I want to be somewhere else. Somewhere quiet with solitude. Probably why I never go to the popular overlanding spots and always take the road less traveled.

The Santee River in the Francis Marion National Forest.

I'm down on the coast near Charleston.

Discussions with closed minds are a waste of time so I'll just move along. Have a great day.

This statement makes no sense to me. Why should these not exist? Customers buy them. That's reason enough to make them. I traded a 4WD Silverado in on a Ridgeline. And I hate to break it to you, the Ridgeline is a better vehicle for my use in every metric. Better driving experience, better...

My daily is in the shop for a timing belt so I have been driving my rig to work this week.

Bought it in 2016 with 246k miles on it. Currently at 270k. Pretty much all of those miles are camping or exploring off-road. It's not my daily driver so the miles add up fairly slowly. Other than maintenance and upgrades, I had to have the transmission resealed. While they had it out they put...

Nice to see someone thinking about the small truck market. I'll have to look into these when it comes time to replace my service trucks. I was thinking about the Ford Lightning but one of these may work as well or better. The fuel savings alone would pay for the trucks. My daily is a...

Deep in the Francis Marion National Forest. ]

I have this one. Ozark Trail Instant 2-Room Shower/Changing Shelter Super fast setup. Plenty of space. Not light or particularly small when bagged.

My go-to for daily wear are Merrell Jungle Moc shoes. Comfortable all day long, no matter the surface. The narrow sole makes them perfect driving shoes. Decent traction on wet and dry surfaces. The perfect camp shoe to slip off and on when in and out of the tent. And when the trail gets super...

When the heat and humidity sets in, I hook the XJ up to the back of the RV and use it as a base camp while exploring the surrounding area. I'm too old to enjoy sleeping in the heat for the sake of using a tent.

My kids aren't as young as they used to be but some of them have kids so we drag the entire crew out when we can. My eldest sons are frequently trail partners.
