  1. Anchor Mtn

    Hello from Colorado

    Welcome to OB from a fellow Colorado member. I wheeled a 2006 Dodge QC 2500 for a few years as an overland rig. While it was a rough(er) ride, they are very capable. A set of tunable shocks will go a LONG ways with the on-road and off-road comfort.

    Roof Tent Weight Capacity?

    Most 2 person tents are in the 600lb range. You would really have to contact each manufacturer to get more specific numbers.

    Jeep Wrangler Death Wobble

    Dynatrac Ball joints are awesome and rebuildable. The new TeraFlex Falcon Nexus Steering Stabilizer is about the best thing out there...but may be overkill for most people. The Old Man Emu JK Steering stabilizer will set you back under $100 and work like a champ. Steering stabilizers do not...

    Overland Rig: Build it or Buy it?

    If you are ever planning on going bigger than 35" tires on the jeep.... you might as well get the sport(or sahara). You will want to regear to at least 4.56 gears and the D44 housing isnt any stronger than the D30 housing. The 4:1 T-case in the Rubicon is great in the big rocks but leaves a huge...

    Icon Billet Aluminum vs. Tubular (steel) suspension components?

    You cant go wrong with either upper arm.... getting uppers is the most important part of the 2"+ lifts. The billet aluminum arms are a little lighter but fatigue/failure is not something the average user has anything to worry about. A lot of manufacturers have gone to aluminum arms(upper and...

    SP-8100 8-SWITCH PANEL POWER SYSTEM

    We only use Switch-Pros in our builds. The compact switch panels are available in either surface mount or flush mount and standard options that other brands charge extra for make it a no-brainer for us.

    What auxiliary items do you have? Where did you mount your switches?

    They have a surface mount which just has 2 small screws on the side to attach it to a dash or console and they have a flush mount option which requires cutting a hole to recess the panel.

    I like chicken corners. Did you walk around the ledge? The bluff on the other side is awesome. Sent from my SM-G930V using OB Talk mobile app

    Overland Trailers

    We build an Overland Utility Trailer modeled off of the old M416 military trailers. The tub is made on a CNC press brake to minimize welds and increase strength and rigidity. Using 12ga, powdercoated steel means this will last through a lifetime of abuse on the trail or worksite. We have 2 more...

    Will I hate not having a winch for Overland?

    In overlanding, a winch is an insurance policy. At some point you will make a poor decision and not turn around when you really do know better. I have had a Warn winch on the front of my personal JKU for 4 years and havent used it for myself... yet. I have had to stop and pull out others I...

    Rear Body And Frame Protection

    Even just a receiver hitch will add quite a bit of protection to the back of a rig but a full bumper goes a lot further. The aftermarket bumpers for the 4Runner wrap around the sides of the rig and keep a lot of sheet metal safe. They are expensive, but a whole lot cheaper than a replacement...

    What auxiliary items do you have? Where did you mount your switches?

    We use the Switch-Pros system in our builds. Its a little pricey but its VERY worth it in the long run. https://anchormtnoverland.com/collections/accessories/products/sp-8100-8-switch-panel-power-system

    @Michael Now you need to reorganize the regions on the forum too. I like these region designations a lot.

At the campsite I got him an Axial SCX-10 last year to rock crawl with but all he wants to do is GO FAST!!! So I kept the rc crawler...
