    Gladiator Mojave vs Rubicon

    I don't think you can go wrong on either platform. I have a Rubicon and it's been a great truck. @TAHOOOO has a Mojave and last year on the the Mojave Rd, it seemed they handled the washboards much better than I did. lol If you plan to mod it out and do some serious rock crawling, the Rubicon...

    Death Valley - 2023 - Super-bloom?

    Tried to go down this last weekend, but the storm closed the passes, both Tehachapi and the Grapevine, from the Valley to that side of the mountains by the time we got to Bakersfield. Bummer. That said, anyone going later this Spring will probably get a nice treat.

    Off-road alone.

    As most others have said, being alone is not the same as feeling lonely. Some of the most profound loneliness is felt when surrounded by others. Being alone is often a choice we make. We can continue to do something or not, with or without others. I really like my alone time. I can engage my...

    US West Northbay Monthly Meet-up - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendo

    We talked about this at our last meet-up, and possibly caravanning together up there. I think Roy @R.German-Jeeper was going to try and plan something too. similarly stopping somewhere near Shasta on the way.

    Best Map Replay and Tracking

    I used to use Relive for bike rides when it sync’d with another app. I sometimes still use it because it’s pretty cool to see your trips on a 3D map.

    Quechua 2 Second Easy tent Vs gazelle t3x

    I have a gazelle T4 and a major selling point for me was being able to stand up in it. And with the taller walls, it just felt a lot more spacious and a Sierra Designs tent I had before, which was also roomy but not as tall.

    That's a great loop. Did it last summer. One of the roads they could take to cut across is the Hwy 162 out of Willows. There are several camping spots along the way. it runs the southern portion of the loop. It turns into Alder Springs Rd/Forest hwy 7/Mendocino Pass Rd. as you get to Eel River...

    advice for must see trails Northern Ca?

    Since you're going to be up near Eureka, I'd recommend Fern Canyon. It's a cool hike, and has some movie history to it. Also keep in mind it's quite a trek from the Rubicon to the North Coast(between Santa Rosa and Eureka) with only a few roads cutting over from the Central Valley to the coast.

    There's a coffeeshop right there where we can meet inside if it's cold, though often times we meet outside and look at vehicles and new things on them.

    It is. I will be at the meet-up but understand if others want to do this instead. Unfortunately, I can't do the trail work at the moment.

    Redarc or ...?

    I'm just about to put my system together and I'm going the Victron route because of the modularity of it. Sure it might take up more space but if something fails, it's just that one component and not "everything". This is going in the back of my truck, so space is less of an issue. Also, by...

    US West Northbay Monthly Meet-up - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendo

    Not an Overland Bound event, this is sponsored by PWORA and the Mendocino NF. Since a lot of our trips, almost all by this point, are in the Mendo NF, if you can make it... Project is to help open up a long closed road for OHV use. Reply to their FB page if you are interested;

    Shaver Lake, Kaiser Pass, Lake Thomas A Edison

    I haven't been up that way since I was a kid. I grew up in Fresno and we used to go to Shaver and some times Lake Edison. Would love to go out that way again.
