    What vehicle and gear do you carry to go out and Overland?

    I keep the Morris Mule trailer set up packed and ready to go-just add food, water for coffee, drinks (usually Gatorade), slide the kayak on, gas up and I'm on the road-usually the beach. The Snomaster 56L and Renogy 20 solar charger and panel are in the Jeep most of the time, along with...

    What's on your vehicle seat back molle organizer?

    My Bartact seat covers came with Molle backs. I have a small pouch on the drivers side for quick access loaded with most commonly needed tools (eliminated pulling my larger tools bags from below the rear seat just for screw drivers, vise grips, scissors etc). On the passengers seat back pouch...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Just returned from five days on PINS (Padre Island National Seashore) Texas. I ran the beach south 65 miles, down to the Port Mansfield cut-weather was perfect! Fishing was great, star gazing -excellent, just listening to the coyotes at night was great and fireflies at night-what ! I can't...

    OB Approved Members Spotted Thread

    I had the opportunity to meet some of the Overland Bound members that live in and around the Corpus Christi, TX area. This was a meet and Greet/ Bonfire event organized by Courtney (csacco member# 19786)-Great job!! The weather was absolutely fantastic (for this time of the year). Adult...

    Fridge - Dual Zone vs Single

    I purchased a SnoMaster 56L Freezer/refrig which is mounted in my 2015 JK Unlimited-I love it. Endless possibilities -if you don't need a freezer , just use it as a refrigerator, but it gives you endless-cold stuff!!, if your going to be out there for days on end. I power mine with a LiFe 100...

    Morris Mule Trailer

    Steve My upper arms do not slide-they are fixed. I will get with Morris when I get there in two weeks or so. The only time it poses a problem is when I'm attaching the awning, getting the zipper started I have less than 1/2"-pretty tight. I will check the date on the Overland East-if I can...

    Morris Mule Trailer

    Hi Steve I didn't get a chance to meet with Morris on the way to Rhode Island, but I talked with Jeremy. One change that they have made to the bed is adding an all weather sealant between the meetings of the sides and bottom, basically sealing the box completely, much improved weather sealing...

    Morris Mule Trailer

    Morris sent out the New axle no charge no freight-received it within four days-not bad at all. Now installed and everything is back to normal. In fact I drove to Aransas Pass (home) spent two days handling a few things, drove to Alabama visited with Jeremy at the Morris Mule shop (Morris was...

    Morris Mule Trailer

    sabjku Sorry for the delay, I've been in the Villa Vidal-northern New Mexico for the last week (No service). Came out last Friday and broke a spindle on one side of the axle, after repairing the side I inspected the other side and it also has a large crack. Been working with Morris (great Guy)...

    Fly Fishing

    Wow-How did I miss this forum. New to the OB community here-enjoying retirement and my Jeep JKU and Morris Mule Trailer--but I have been fly fishing for about 50 years. Started while I was in the Air Force up in Washington state-fishing for steelhead/trout. Progressed into salt water fly...

    Do you use your awning?

    I made a "Homemade" awning and added this to my Morris Mule Trailer last year before heading out for 4 months-price was right-silver tarp, many additional grommets, laced the tarp to conduit- just to many moving parts-poles etc. Also no way to adjust the height of poles-to keep the rain from...

    RoadShower vs WaterPort ??

    Ryan Noticed you have a Jeep wrangler. Another option you may have is a "Water Bumper". I live in Aransas Pass, TX (lived in New Mexico for 27 years)-I'm on the beach almost daily when I'm home. My Jeep is a 2015 JKU-the stock bumper is hollow. You can do what I have done and it works...

    Manual transmission vehicle options

    DreadPirateRob Awesome thread-I'm sure there are quite a few members looking at future options-you are right on track-keep researching. This is why I love this forum and OB-great responses from the members. Brien brought up a good point-being loaded down and also pulling a trailer. My...

    Manual transmission vehicle options

    DreadPirateRob You can't go wrong with the Jeep Wrangler JKU (four door). Loads of room, and room to grow into as your needs expand and maybe the family grows. I have a 2015 JKU 6 speed manual (never had it in 6th gear) and I'm more than satisfied with the set up. Yes, I would like a lower...

    Roof / tool storage conundrum!

    Ben Looks like you are already well on your way to being prepared. I have always said -better to be prepared and have what you need, than to wish you had something. Problem is I probably carry more than I will need. I'm not familiar with your vehicle-but do you have any storage ares below...
