I shed 90+ lbs hanging from my rear bumper (swing-out tire carrier) and replaced it with a Morryde tailgate reinforcement. Modified an EVO JK Rotopax mount to fit the TJ Rubicon Spare wheel center. Able to carry 8 gal of gas (2 x 2 gal Rotopax on the spare tire carrier and a 3 gal secured to...

I would plan a trip just to use that fuel pump!

Ha! We were probably just days apart.

I’m probably the last in this thread to discover this website but Jeeptheusa.com has a list of trails by state (western such as NM) along with gpx files.

3 weeks ago the area in and around the Guadalupe Mtns was hot (still fun exploring and using cow tracks to bypass washed out roads). Concur with Brian’s recommendation.

Interesting selection of words for an overlanding forum...rules for thee and not for me...

Illuminating my modified shelf with a Brawlee led light mounted to the glass lift gate and wired to the sPOD. Bolted additional tie downs to the shelves and using turn buckles to secure hold the MTM cases (kitchen & camping stuff). Coffee & camp stove in the canvas bag. Organization...

Most folks in this part of the state do not wear masks. Majority of people voting in the primaries last week were not wearing masks.

Pulled the trigger:

Driving on Otero County Rd G013 last week on our way to the Guadalupe Mtns Linc National Forest: A couple of spots were washed out requiring some alternate route exploration: The little bump in the east just above “County” is the second washout workaround. As we were trying to figure out how...

Built a wooden platform to ease storage & access to 10 gallons of H2O in 4 x 2.5 gallon cans. Used 3M spray adhesive and a staple gun to cover the wood with indoor/outdoor carpet (the darker color was oos). Drilled and mounted a Yakima Megawarrior rack on the Yakima rail system: First trip...

In for the info...thinking about doing same to my 17 OR too.

They made a movie about that in 1963...

Nice Jeep! I had a Rock Hard 4x4 swing-out tire carrier with built-in Hi-Lift Mount and 2 added 5 gal Jerry can mounts. The included bumper has the clevis attachment points and trailering capability. Plus, I added the basket mounts to carry my tent. It was great for lugging extra gas and...

Hankering for some pizza from Cafe Rio in Ruidoso. I decided to take the long way around and ingress from the north (they’ll never expect that direction!). Checked out the Picacho Road section of the Enchanted Rockies Trail, the Billy the Kid jail in Lincoln, the Baca Campsite, and the Capitan...

Jeep handles a lot better without the ~90lbs of steel swing out tire & gas can carrier hanging on the rear bumper. Took her out to the trails in the northern part of McGregor Range in a fully loaded week-long overland condition test run. The trade off is only 4 gallons (2x2g Rotopax) on the tire...

How do you like the AntiRock?

The Land of Enchantment rocks. Just need to be careful playing around/near the range complex (especially when red flags are flying). An old conventional target to check out with practice bombs in the bullseye...SHACK 1...good shootin’ Steve Canyon! I’ve won quite a few quarters back in my day on...

Also conducted some local social distancing exploration south of Alamogordo... Found a burned M88 Recovery vehicle: Did a little rock crawl: This AH-1 Cobra looks like it just needs a little bit of work to be airworthy: Trail climbing up to Timberon: At least 6 feet was maintained this day:
