Jason - @JButtress - and I texted back and forth about this yesterday. We both came to the conclusion that I am no help at all... So... if anyone has any suggestions on where to do a meet-up speak up, or this probably won't make it very far.

A stain on the great states of Carolina. Luckily, I really only ever see it on the coast and midland areas. We've got a lot of brodozers around here though, the half-ton and three quarter-ton trucks lifted but with huge chrome rims. Last week I had a younger guy start up a conversation with me...

There was a southeast last year, but it was on the far side of Arkansas...

We went down both sides and then up the middle of Linville Gorge.

The Smokey Mountains were living up to their name... this was at like 4:30 in the afternoon.

2019 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring - “The Appalachia Wander Wagon” OEM LED Adaptive, self-leveling, steering responsive headlights OEM halogen fog lights w/ Hella yellow tint shields Bumper Bar: halogen Hella 500 fog beam w/ yellow tint film & protective grilles Roof Basket: forward facing halogen...

My rig has steering responsive LED headlights (they turn with the steering wheel and self level). They are OEM and are great for driving. That being said - my OEM fog lights are halogen and I have a set of halogen Hella on a bumper bar and 4 more forward facing across the top. All of my halogen...

The only one of the electric options I would be interested in would be one of the Ryobi One+ compatible ones. I have a TON of their tools and a bunch of batteries and chargers from Ryobi. Does anyone have any experience with their chainsaw options? The last few times I have used my saw they have...

I started it, but we had bad weather & went off on some random diversions, so we didn’t get very far at all. I’m hoping to pick it back up where we left off in the near future. Make a hard copy print out of the route & possible alternate routes & detours before you go. My phone & tablet didn’t...

The snorkel was just out of general curiosity. The weight avoidance less fuel is hard to avoid on a 9 day trip. I’m keeping my backseat so storage is limited to the trunk & the roof. I thought of rigging a jerry can onto the space between the trunk & the Wilco but I haven’t given too much...

First, here is an obligatory picture of the Appalachia Wander Wagon a guy took on a little softroading trip I went on w/ some MtnRoo folks.. Now here is the question I have been tossing around: if I install a snorkel, will I be stuck w/ the cursed CEL always being on? This fall I am...

Yeah - I struggled with it. But the brown leather was only available in that package and I love the interior.

That is sweet... I'm extremely jealous of this. I have the touring package so it has extra chrome. I hate all of it. Yours is looking super slick though. Nicely done.

Before now, I ran Yokohama's on literally every 4-wheeled vehicle I have owned since I had to make those kinds of decisions for myself -after finishing my undergrad degree. I had a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada with Yokohama Geolander AT G015's, a 2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Spec.B with Yokohama Advan...

I have the Kuhmo AT51's on my OB and I couldn't be happier with them. They have been fantastic, minimal excessive road noise, and they have excellent trail manners. I've put a little over 10k miles on them and they have shown hardly any wear on them at all. A big factor that went into my...

You'd probably be surprised. I just turned 34 last week, but I have an old soul. I was big into anything with a motor from a young age, but I remember learning to operate my old man's boat in the salt out there when I was about 9 or 10. The only electronic it had was the old round light-up depth...

Cape Lookout is the destination but you'd want to use Cape Pointe marina on Harkers Island to launch. It's protected in the sound so you don't have to worry about the big water and gulf stream wash. There are still a few shoals and tricky currents around the straits, but it is easy enough to...

There is a small area where you'd be alright to swim within reason on the leeward side of the island, right behind the lighthouse. It's a tiny little natural bay that everyone who boats out there anchors into. There is also a small passenger ferry that docks there. You'd probably be alright...

You'd be about crazy to swim off Cape Lookout. It is very sharky.

I feel you on dragging a boat all the way down there. I have a shallow water flats skiff that isn't so bad to drag with me, but the shoals can stir up some rougher water than I'm comfortable with in that boat. I've been out there plenty before in my bigger boat that has forward, down, and...
