Day 4 - July 30th, 2017 Cont'd After leaving Ottawa on Sunday the 30th we hopped onto the Trans-Canada Highway and began our 2,400 mile drive to Jasper National Park in Alberta. I had spent the last few months simultaneously planning our National Parks trip alongside the QB-5 adventure, and...

Day 4 - July 30th, 2017 Camp was slow to rise Sunday morning, and after a few people had checked on him Shaun made a grand entrance as most everyone else finished up their fresh-made blueberry pancake breakfast. We broke down camp in decent time and arranged to meet at Bonnechere park’s main...

Day 3 - July 29th, 2017 I was surprised to hear how early people were up and milling about in camp, but I think the communal message the night before of the necessity of being on the road early and staying focused throughout the day resonated with the group. I struck the tent as Dani put our...

One of the more thought provoking parts of this project was figuring out how to cleanly get the wiring into the vehicle. I had almost no interest in drilling through the roof, nor removing the headliner for access to anything, so I moved on to Plan B. Utilizing the placement of the OEM roof...

June 2017... With the switch panel installed in the dashboard, Rhino roof rack in place, and electrical control box wired and mounted under the back seats, the time finally came to order and install the LED bar that I planned for the roof. While I’ve always been a Rigid Industries guy (full...

Love their products, and the team from "down under" is an amazing group to work with. I think the next step for the rig will be the WK2 Lower Front Guard/WK2 Recovery Points, and hopefully the WK2 Rock Rails once those become available... If there's any questions about the Hidden Winch Mount I...

Looks great! Seems like a rather niche community of those of us modding WK2s. Look forward to seeing yours unfold.

Day 2 - July 28th, 2017 I can’t begin to describe how much I’ve missed sleeping in a tent. To make things easier on Dani and I sharing the space inside the Quarter-dome 2, I purchased an Exped Synmat Duo, a niche-market sleeping pad that has two separately inflatable sleeping pads in one unit...

Thanks Wiz! I'll definitely reach out next time we end up there... Lots more posts to come, this was just day 1 of 24! Thank you! I'll be sure to reach out. Wasn't a member on O.B. last summer but it seems like I could have used the resources! Lots more of this trip to come...

Day 1 - July 27th, 2017 Dani and I rolled out of the driveway with 3,924 miles on the Jeep’s odometer. An early, quiet, but focused morning led us to be packed and out the door, t’s crossed and dotted I’s, checklists as complete as humanly possible, got us out the door at 08h00. Despite both of...

Kicking off our nearly month-long trip would be the QB-5 club adventure/overlanding trip at the end of July. After a few weeks of tossing ideas around with my Jeep/Tacoma friend Rob last December, we spent a very snowy February afternoon at his kitchen table working through the GPX files and...

This summer was always set to be one with quite a bit of adventure. I founded a large Jeep Club in Massachusetts back in 2011 and on the side of our 400 members, have developed a close group of friends who have pursued overland trips as summer activities. In the summer of 2016 we planned out and...
