I setup the last few and it is a little tough for us to get much farther west at a decent time by the time my wife gets off work. I have been looking for a place near 51 and I10 to hold a meet up but haven't found a good place yet. I would like to see other people step up and hold a meet and...

Do you know how that would be pulling a trailer?

Just a reminder there is a meet and greet tomorrow night at Famous Dave's in Mesa. Details are at the rally point. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/phoenix-area-meet-and-greet/

Thanks, good points I'll look into those options. Todd

Use what you have and see how it works for you. There is no perfect do it all Overland rig. We have a Jeep with teardrop trailer. It works for most what we do. Our teardrop is on the heavy side because we wanted comforts, 8” mattress, water storage, water heater, heat. I might build a...

As tires get bigger cost goes up and reliability goes down. If you are a rock crawler, mudder, or mall crawler go as big as you can. I think for overlanding you want to lessen the chance on breakdowns. Avoiding bigger than needed tires does that. For a Jeep I think 35’s and smaller are...

Next meet and great May 23 at Famous Dave's in Mesa. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/phoenix-area-meet-and-greet/

We will meet at Famous Dave's in Mesa (Dobson and 202) Thursday 5/23 at 6:30 if you want to eat. Around 7:30 we will head out to the Bass Pro parking lot to the north of Famous Dave's to talk and look at rigs till 8:30-9:00. If you are going to eat let me know how many before Wednesday so I can...

I just got a Midland GMRS radio got the Jeep. I’m looking for a gutter mount for the antenna that would be easy to put on and take off when needed. I went to HRO and they had no clue who still made one. Anyone know of one? Todd

Now that I have been using our teardrop I’m thinking a second small lightweight trailer might be in the future. But I do like all the comforts we have now. Todd

I have a Propex H2000 I’m installing in my teardrop also but we have camped a few time with low temps at 28 degrees and was fine with just normal bedding, sheet, blanket, and a comforter. And we would have been good for another 5-10 degrees. The heater will be nice for morning. We alway have the...

Where are the last few pictures from? Looks familiar. We were at Muley Point a few weeks ago. Great place to camp but windy. Todd

I’m confused, if you have a mobile ham you can give a handheld ham to another rig that is with you or a spotter? I just got GMRS so I can do like the OP said. Todd

I would like to see the pics. Todd

We are looking at Thursday May 23 for the next Meet and Greet. I’ll put up a rally point as soon as I have details. Todd

The only problem with them is going to fire restrictions. Especially this year. We were heading out camping last Friday when I found out I had some things I needed to get done for work and needed internet so we went to Lost Dutchman state park since we were packed and ready to go, and they are...

6-7 months out of the year I can camp 15-20 minutes from home. The summer months the temps can be 100 to 120 degrees in that spot. Then we need to drive 2 hours to the mountains. Last Friday we were planning to head out for two nights, but I couldn't get out on time then found out I needed to...

I have been reading reviews on Amazon when I was looking for a water pump for my teardrop. Sureflo, Flowjet, $15 or $100 all the reviews were the same, Best pump ever, junk do not buy. My last XXX pump lasted 35 years this one broke the first time I used it. It's whisper quite, sound like a F-35...

I alway go with my best friend which happens to be my wife. We really don't know anyone else in our area to go with. We have only lived here for 4 years so don't have many friends. We did do one trip with an OB member we meet here and had a great time. I have no interest in the 4X4 or Jeep...

Naked people or not we will be going back, beautiful country.
