So I got the book in the mail and I’m starting to plan out a rough itenerary. The wife had a brush-up with the then-broken garage door and broke some fingers so we will not be camping, but I’m still planning on us going out there and having a good time. There is an Ultramarathon in Moab on the...

Hey Terry, I figured I’d ask here instead of starting a whole new thread, but what would your honest assessment of the Suburban’s off-road capabilities be? Is it worth building the rig on this platform? My wife and I are looking at getting an off-road camping trailer but I’m wondering if we’d be...

Hey man! That should be a fun trip! Since you're coming in July, I'd say that a 'must drive' route for you, while not off-road, is going to Estes Park, CO and visiting Rocky Mountain National park! I'd recommend going earlier in the morning and hiking up to Emerald Lake from the Bear Lake...

Black Rifle Coffee is a must for my wife and I on any camping trip! ‘Coffee or Die’ is our gold standard. We use a Snow Peak micro stove from REI and an REI French press. Real life saver on chilly mornings!

That’s the guide I had my eye on! Great! Thanks for all your help! I’ll get on those reservations!

Thanks for doing the leg work on that! That’s some great info! I’ll be getting the shocks replaced in the next week or so for sure so this is a HUGE help!

Thanks for the input guys! Terry, which shock for the Z71 were you thinking specifically? I found this one: http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10412&gclid=CjwKCAiAksvTBRBFEiwADSBZfCKPvpZ4GiV_i-uL6UkUjCB-_kkPge0Cayhjp3duA1hB--XhT5-c_xoCBAcQAvD_BwE But...

Awesome! Thanks so much for the input! I was thinking of picking up a 4x4 guide for the trip to help with navigation. Any recommendations for that as far as which one to get if you use one? Going to get a map also, but we do like our guides... We haven’t really camped in Cold Weather yet. I was...

Vehicle is a '95 Chevy suburban K1500 (4x4) and my ability is beginner. Camping recommendations are a big help and we would would probably prefer a campground. In or out of town doesn't really matter so long as we get to see some cool stuff! No biking this trip but some hiking may be fun!

So I guess the next question would be how important, overall, would a lift be? Is there enough ground clearance on the rig now to be able to do some beginner off-roading? If I get upgraded shocks, either the Monroes or the Bilsteins, am I good to go or will I really risk damaging the rig without...

Alrighty! I have run into a bit of a conundrum regarding suspension and travel. We currently have a 95 Suburban K1500 and we need to replace the shocks anyway. I was thinking of trying to find some more robust off-road shocks and spend the extra money for a bit better experience, but I'm also...

Heya folks! Been thinking about a trip to Moab over a weekend and finally decided to just say 'screw it, let's do this' and head out. Would like to do some beginner off-roading while we're there and we will be camping, so I'm looking for any and all input regarding how to pull this off! Planning...

My vote based on the above would be to do some more generic stuff to the Subaru. Throw a K&N air filter in it, then add some gear storage or a RTT (we love our Tepui!), maybe a couple of bright LED driving lights and if you want to go the extra mile you can add 4 of the largest diameter tires...

Hello All! Just found out about Overland Bound via the podcast so I thought I'd check it out. My name is Jake and my wife and I just discovered camping and overlanding last year and we're hooked! I'm pretty new to anything resembling off-road driving, but I'm eager to get out there and learn...
