    Yellowstone in August

    Stop listening to the news. If you plan on traveling to watch a football game live with 15,000 other people, then sure, be concerned. But traveling outside of major metropolitan areas is not an issue. Be smart. Bring everything you need with you. Things are not as bleak as most news outlets let...

    2016 JK back window (Liftgate) replacement

    Ive never seen a liftgate replacement except glass. I have seen softtop replacements that are vinyl, but not a hardtop. If you find one, post it up. Always curious to see what others come up with.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Picked up a used AEV Dana 44 cover for my JKU. Had some dings and such. Cleaned it up and got creative with it. Pretty close match to my JKU Chief Blue color.

    Trash bag

    I have had two trash-a-roos and now have a Blue Ridge bag. Both trash-a-roos worked great, bigger than you might think and though a pain in the ass to put on, once on, they dont go anywhere. Both faded really quickly. Going from black to medium gray after about 20 days use. I use a hefty bag...

    What to prioritize when buying recovery gear.

    It really depends on where youa re going and what time of year. Desert in the summer can see dry and dusty in the morning and flash floods and impassable mud in the afternoon. Mountains can see 70°F at noon, 45°F at sunset and 28°F by midnight and a foot of snow by morning. What I carry in the...

    moab to ouray

    Looks like they opened in June. This pic is from June 5 and they opened a week or so later. I am guessing they close around Thanksgiving (depending on how early snow arrives) which is when most San Juan trails close too. Reading it, It looks like you could do it in one day. A long day, but one...

    The Story Till Now/Recent Controversy

    This is specifically where our current generations lack creativity for the sake of popularity. My approach would have been much different, inclusive to all persons and most important, educational. Why didn't he or someone contact the local indigenous people and ask them to tell their story...

    Who else likes snowshoeing while overlanding?

    When I lived in the Seattle area, I snowshoe'd obsessively. I worked 2nd shift in an ER, got off at 2330 and would go to Snoqualmie ans shoe by moonlight for a few hours. Awesome therapy. Now I'm getting older and the thought of it sounds painful! Snowshoes, boots, gators, poles, a backpack with...

    Stony pass CO with 4x4 sprinter?

    They have had a ton of monsoon rain this year in the San Juans so fire danger should be a ton better than the western front.

    moab to ouray

    The Rim Rocker. 160 miles from Moab to Montrose. This has maps and GPS data. I am not 100% certain, but most people run this from Montrose to Moab. It is a big trail, so I'd assume you can run it from UT to CO. https://rimrockertrail.org/

    Telluride/Silverton area dispersed camping in August

    Looks like Sept 27/28 through Oct 6 or so. I have a flexible schedule and I have friends meeting me in Alamosa on the 27/28th who's schedules are not as flexible. Stay the night in Alamosa, head to camp for a night on Stony Pass and then to Lake City. Next day some of the Alpine loop, a night in...

    Kismet from abandon and living on the streets to adventure dog.

    My wife was taking Maximus for a walk and this filthy brown dirtball shyly came up to her. She called me and asked me to help. Took him to our vet. Used a scalpel to cut most of his matted fur off. As you can see in the pic, he is white, not brown. He had a collar with a tag. Called and the...

    Rotopax Water Carrier Bracket - Design

    Terrific design. There are two units on the market similar, but priced way out of reality for what it actually is. Two versions for the JK and JL from Vector and I cant find the other manufacturer. It is less expensive and has a different mounting idea where they run a large bolt through the hub...

    Rotopax Water Carrier Bracket - Design

    I have no idea but they are brilliant. My Smittybilt tire carrier for my JKU came with extra long lugnuts that are not quite that long, but def long enough to thread bolts into the outward facing open end.

    Kismet from abandon and living on the streets to adventure dog.

    Congrats to you both. Nothing like a dog who knows their past and appreciates their place in life. We ahve 3 rescues. One was on the street for months based on his coat. He is an incredibly loyal guy. Our newest addition came from the shelter. She has been a terror for the other two and they all...
