Test drive today on a 150 mile exploration trip to Owyhee Reservoir, OR. Mostly asphalt, with a little fun thrown in... James

I’ve been using the Powertye brand of tie down straps for all my motorcycles for about 15 years. They have never failed to keep a $10,000 motorcycle upright, so I think they will do okay with these cases :):):) James

I use my iPad Air2 with Gaia, coupled with a Bad Elf GPS Pro+. We also have iOverlander on the ipad, all our music, 50 movies, and other apps like MyRadar, Geocaching, clinometer, google earth, etc. it’s truly a do it all. I bought two sets of X-Bull traction mats on amazon. They look just like...

Do you cover the chrome shock stancions also? That stuff will kill a shock wiper and seal pretty quick... James

No lip, though I did change the strapping configuration this evening. Gonna take the junky Harbor Freight lashing straps back because they slip. Instead I am now using two Powertye tie down straps per case. They are rock solid now. Testing more tomorrow, going on a day trip and will pop the...

Roof rack complete and mounted up... Testing begins this weekend, then powdercoat in a week or two. James

Nearing completion on the 1” EMT Conduit roof rack build... sorry for lack of build pics of it. Hope to show it on the roof of the X in a couple days. James

Be careful… I’ve seen guys around here do undercoating and they put it on the brake rotors and shocks and everywhere else. It’s a real nightmare if done wrong. James

GoodYear DuraTracs on our Expedition. They have been fantastic in the snow and rain. Very impressed. A little more howl than the Toyo Open Country A/Ts on my F150, but I think the DuraTracs are a bit more capable. James

You’re welcome! We have fond memories of our trip up that way. Jamest

You might try paracable. I’ve read good things. James

CVT has been great to us, and we bought our 2 person CVT used on Craigslist for $320!! CVT always answers the phone, and is quick to help with replacement parts. James

Is your JK a 2 door or 4 door? *nevermind i just saw your sig pic... How about a 4runner? Basically a bigger jeep, bit more power, bit more room. Seems like building/overlanding a truck is a totally different animal unless you get a topper, then you may just as well have a 4runner... you...

We have great things to say about Mont Bell’s spiral wound bags. They cling to you, but can be spread open when needed. James

Infants sleep most of the time, until they eat, then they sleep again... so the first 6 weeks or so shouldn’t be a problem... I have 3 girls, 15, 13, 7, so i’m pretty familiar. James

On a little family trip this werkend to McCall, Idaho for their Winter Carnival. Mostly road miles, but we are testing out the navigational systems, Gaia GPS app on the iPad Air2, coupled with a Bad Elf Pro+ GPS. We also downloaded some Geocache tracks we hope to check out over the next couple...

Ford Expedition, short version. Our 2003 seats 7 comfortably, and is great on and offroad. We did a 2” lift in the back, and 2.75” in the front, and now the ground clearance is great. I have a family of 5 and wouldn’t own anything else. The full size american vehicles are extremely roomy inside...

Boise hasn’t had that cold of a winter this year... mid 40s recently. Nice setup there with the hammocks. We just bought a $17 one on Amazon, can’t wait to try it. Do you put all those cases on your roof rack during travel?
