Thanks for watching our videos! You'll enjoy the COBDR. We did it last year from Cortez to Buena Vista. You can take the Imogene Trail from Telluride over to HWY 550 instead of Ophir Pass is you want.

Have you heard of the Imogene Pass trail in the SanJuan Mountains near Ouray Colorado? Most likely you have, it's one of the iconic trails many people have on their offroading bucketlist. Here's a short glimpse at what you can experience on this trail:

Join us on July 10th at Rock Cut State Park in Rockford Illinois for a meet and greet. There'll be plenty of built rigs to look at, and talk about trips and destinations to get ideas from. Then go enjoy the park! Activities available; hiking, mountain biking, swimming, canoe/kayaking, camping...

Great posts everyone! Many of you bring up the valid point that there's a wide variety and range of "overlanding" goals and aspirations. I now believe I made a grave error in not beginning with an explanation about what our style and desires of traveling are. That would have added some insight...

Don't get me wrong, I think looks are important too, but the right look. I believe beauty follows function.

We thought we'd share this with you and hopefully get your opinions about our opinions on popular pieces of gear that have become very popular in the overlanding community. I hope Mark doesn't offend any of you with the comments he makes in the video. :)

Below is a link that will get you started off on the right foot. TreadLightly

We've been using a Redarc dc-dc charger in our 4Runner for a couple years now and couldn't be happier with its performance. It's something we never even have to think about. It does its job flawlessly and never gives us any "hic-cups". HIGHLY recommended.

Here's where we plug in at:

Thanks for the replies everyone! We decided to go with a simple plug-in trickle charger for the time being. We'll be working on a permanently mounted system that we can simply plug into.

I'm looking for a method to keep our house battery fully charged and maintained when the vehicle is sitting in the garage for days or even weeks at a time. We have an AGM with a Redarc dc-dc charger with built-in solar controller. What I'd like to do is have something I can plug into the garage...

By definition, "overlanding" is vehicle dependent travel. In my opinion the first thing you should do is go over your Jeep with a fine tooth comb to make it dependable. Cooling system: flush and fill, new belt, thermostat, hoses. Fuel system: new filter, inspect all the steel and rubber lines...

We've built a couple different styles:

Here's how we attached our cases to our rack. You'll likely be able to adapt it to yours.

There's some sound advice on equipment in all the comments. We'd like to add what we believe is the two most important pieces of "recovery gear" you should bring along. Remember; you're all alone, nobody to help you or show off in front of. 1) Common sense and the ability to control testosterone...

We've been "testing" these very links for a few thousand miles now and couldn't be happier with them. They combine the increased strength over the stock links with the durability and maintenance free attributes of the Toyota joints. It's a win-win. Here's a short video we produced about them.

Very nice!!! We especially like how you did the cargo area!

Land Between The Lakes is a good spot to get together. Plenty of great trails there.

We've built a couple different drawer systems. Here's one: Here's another:

We started a build thread here a couple years ago when we started this project, but haven't kept it up to date like we should have. A LOT has been done to it to make it a fantastic vehicle to base our travels out of. (For our needs and uses.) We've produced short videos on everything we've done...
