    SOLD Jeep JK Overlanding Parts Austin, TX or Washington D.C.

    No Vector on the CL ad. Is it the straight bar or the Alpine restyle with the front hoop? Ship to Lubbock?

    Lets talk offroad friendly insurance companies

    That much I know, its more of who in practical relationships is working with a company they like, respect and are truly covered by, not using vague blanket statements like my phone conversation today with Geico. I will look into SF and Farmers and see where I land. My only other real issue is a...

    Jeep JL Rotopax "Caddie"

    Is the tab on top for a camera or 3rd brake light mount? That seems like a pretty smart idea...

    I just can't decide

    I'm 300lbs. My dog is 175lbs. That quickly eliminated an RTT on my JKU or a trailer. I've been grounding it long enough. At 53 I decided to sleep in the back of my Jeep for solo trips knowing we were going the prebuilt overland trailer route. https://www.leaddogmotorsports.com/extreme-off-road

    On/Off road tires recommendations

    More importantly than anything else, what's your budget. I am a big fan of these in real world, daily driver and weekend overlanding trips for use in West Texas: uber fine 6" dust roads, packed red clay, rocks of ALL sizes, decent asphalt freeways and driving around my downtown with 100+ year...

    Lets talk offroad friendly insurance companies

    For the purpose of this, if you are giving information that is helpful to deterring if there are offroad/overlanding friendly insurance companies, please include which state you are discussing. Case in point. I just called Geico and confirmed Texas does not allow the types of glass coverage...

    What knives do you guys recommend?

    For my rig, its all SOG. I bought a made in China version first and then spent more money to buy a made in the USA. Thus far, no difference in material. If I had one thing to say it would be that the USA made one opens a slight smoother. Other than that, they are pretty similar. I have a Vision...

    Big enough for 4-5 day pack of size 14 shoes and XXXL clothing. Meaning a 6 day pack for most guys. 60-90L size. For a roof top I found these in 31L, 49L and 89L and it is still on my short list: https://touratech-usa.com/Store/Touratech-Waterproof-Adventure-Dry-Bag

    Curved LB mount for Rola rack.

    I could see running curved bars from the top tube behind the wind deflector, but then you may have wind or buffeting noise between the bar and the deflector? Probably a trial and error kinda thing. Either way, great looking bracketry.

    What dry duffle are you using and why?

    Realized I need a dry duffle to make packing easier for me. Current duffle looks cool, but sucks performance wise. Try putting size 14 boots in a 30L bag... The bag I had planned on buying is the Patagonia Black Hole in 55L size, but I am not digging Patagonia's political ramblings and wont...

    Lomb Risers & Roof Top Cargo

    If you are using the entire rack, anything sturdy like bins and boxes I'd put up front. Better impact absorbency. If I had an RTT, I would want soemthing to protect it if it is a fabric softshell. I'd avoid putting fuel, water, puncture prone stuff up front. I load my Wolf Pack and Plano...

Check out the inexpensive buy in for early and 365 day access. All monies as I am told that come in the...
