    Zulu Molle Visor Panel

    Yeah I’d been eyeing them, saw some cheaper designs but felt the quality on this one was worth a few extra bucks. My wife asked why I always have to buy stuff that makes me buy more stuff to put in it! Haha!

    Full Size Overland Rigs

    Just dipped into the full-size side of things with a 2017 Titan SV. Valued the 40 20 40 front bench seat and did not go for the Pro4X version. Will be my long term camping/Overland rig...daily driver for now. Not a whole lot of aftermarket support right now, will bide my time for a rear locker...

    Member Rides

    New rig - new forum name - new era. I'm Roverless for the first time in years, in addition to my short term Jeep Liberty wheeler I picked up a 2017 Nissan Titan SV 4x4. Long-term it will be a full size camping/overland rig. Really enjoying it, great ride, nice power, lotsa room and love the...

    Overland Expo East

    Camped last year, probably stay with my wife's grandparents this year - they live right off the Blue Ridge Parkway...but would definitely be up for hanging out in the OB camp area if enough folks can group together....

    Jeep Liberty KK is a go

    Looks good! Yeah, I've been poking around on LostJeeps, lots of good info there...Been looking at the ATH site - shame the sliders don't come powder coated...never had to have that done, any idea what the cost would be?

    Jeep Liberty KK is a go

    MY wife bought it near new, been flawless (even Skyslider roof) and nearing 140,000 miles. Your truck looks good, don't see that color very often...Always respected OME suspension parts - used them on Rovers in the past. How are the Hankooks? Always thought they looked good....Been looking at...

    Jeep Liberty KK is a go

    After exclusively wheeling only Land Rovers forever, I have the good wife's blessing to hit some dirt in her truck - a 2008 Jeep Liberty. Don't feel like punishing my light-wheeler Evoque and so I've been fairly street bound. Been researching mild upgrades, looking at the Old Man Emu 1.5"...

    Ohio Overland Route

    Hey man - I'm in Dayton as well...Unaware of any great places to do just that in Ohio. Wish it was different. We usually just end up at Haspin Acres in Indiana for some quick dirt, used to do Daniel Boone and Red River Gorge areas in KY a few years back, haven't been there in a while due to...

    Restoring Oxidized Badges?

    Haha! You did seem awfully picky!

    Restoring Oxidized Badges?

    My badge is horrible looking too. The badge in the pic above looks brand new compared to mine...

    Weekend Run to Red River Gorge - 05/11/2018

    I used to wheel there a lot - have a lot of trails loaded in the old Garmin - beautiful area...Been a number of years since I've been, Land Rover club would go and none of us had over a 33" tire. From folks that have been recently I hear a number of trails are closed and others are impassable...

    Family rig advice

    All legit options - I can tell you a properly maintained LR3 is a hell of a deal both in size and capability. The engines (at least the petrol here in the states) is bullet proof and worry free. All maintenance can be done in your driveway or at a corner mechanic - dealer service never really...

    Trails in ohio

    I'm in Dayton...not much happening in Ohio trail-wise unfortunately. A few things have come and gone and some clubs may have private land access, ditto on looking into the above to see if they have property to wheel on. Haspin Acres in Indiana is the closest off-road park other than The Wilds in...

    help me pick 265/65/18 or 265/60/18 KO2

    I ran 265 65 18 Duratracs on my LR3 - there is no finagling needed! Biggest tire you can go on stock suspension that WON"T rub if your suspension drops, even at full steering lock.

    Winter Hiking/Backpacking pants

    Eddie Bauer is rolling a 50% off the entire store sale...for those interested, picked up some fleece-lined Ascent branded trousers I love. Great stretchy fabric, warm enough for hikes as low as about 20 degrees but don't make you all sweaty in higher temps. Great for just wearing around the...

    Winter Hiking/Backpacking pants

    In the market for some new pants for winter day hikes and backpacking. Would like something warm of course but also breathable to combat sweat buildup...stretchy waistband would be nice too (it's winter, I'm pounding Christmas cookies okay!?). In Ohio, so something with sub-freezing qualities is...
