    Arches Utah

    Planning a trip to Arches National park in October. Planning on camping, hiking, fishing and just relaxing after a busy summer. Never planned a trip like this (done plenty of trips to cities and other touristy junk) so I'm looking for some advice. It'll be me and a buddy going. Unfortunately...

    Anybody drive something...

    Wow, been gone for awhile but it's awesome to see all of the positive feedback from everyone! Unfortunately my summer got extremely busy with work so I was unable to get out and do much of anything. Been slowing gathering all of my camping equipment and only have a few things left to get! I am...

    Good idea. I always forget about Craigslist for things other than cars and motorcycles. Thanks!

    Unfortunately I haven't done any camping since high school when I used all of my parents stuff. So I'm starting from scratch. I'm keeping my eye out for some deals. I was watching at the end of the season last year but nothing really seemed to go on clearance. I guess they figure they can store...

    Anybody drive something...

    ... that isn't the normal for Overlanding? Like a vehicle that isn't the typical Jeep or Toyota. Plans have severely changed for me. I recently got divorced and was planning on keeping my WJ. Instead I got stuck with the ex-wife's 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. I was planning on selling it and...

    Battery’s and multiple battery’s

    So, are you guys saying a marine battery is enough? Or an AGM car battery is enough?

    Battery’s and multiple battery’s

    Would the advantage of using a marine battery only be if you're running something like a fridge? I should only have to charge my phone, tablet, and camera overnight while the vehicle isn't running and I feel like a car AGM battery should be able to do that just fine.

    Awesome. Thank you very much. It looked like they would rub quite a bit.

    Princess the 97 XJ...

    Looks great! You might have mentioned it but I missed it if you did. What lift are you using, if you have one at all?

    Things that come in handy

    Good list! I'm in the process of building a tool kit and wrote down the things you mentioned that I forgot about! Relays and hose clamps being a couple important ones.

    Crossing the Mojave Desert

    Awesome trip report! I went hiking up Bell and Cathedral Rock in January (weather was perfect!). This was my first time doing any official hiking and I loved every second of it. So far, Sedona is my favorite place to be.
