Good morning, everything has been sold. Good luck!

I’m selling a 48” Cast and Steel Hi-Lift Jack, model number 484. I’m including a Step22Gear mechanism cover and handle isolator. The Jack also has the Step22Gear baseplate lock pin. It’s in great shape with light surface rust in some areas, just from being mounted on a vehicle. The jack works...

I’d probably be in for Sunday morning before the family gets moving for the day.

My wife and I spent a couple of nights at Elizabeth Furnace this weekend, and can’t recommend it enough. It’s $16 per night but you shouldn’t have too big of an issue finding a spot Friday night or Saturday if you want to camp. It’s a great launching point to explore all of GWNF.

We were out there last weekend, and it was pretty muddy. I’m sure there’ll be even more mud tomorrow after the rain. Have fun!

I've been wearing the same pair of Danner Bull Runs almost every day for a year and a half. They took a couple weeks to break in, but now they're more comfortable than my running shoes. I work in them, and they dress up well enough that I can wear them with nicer clothes. For mud, snow, and...

No, I just used some normal ratchet straps I had laying around to strap it down to the cross bars, and then bungee corded it to the side of the basket. It probably doesn't look super pretty, but I can have the tent untied, off the roof, and set up in no more than 5 minutes. Actually if you're...

That’s great to know, I also suppose even if much water got through the bag, it’d need to get through the bottom tent material, which is probably more waterproof.

That picture is with an REI air mattress, but we’ve since replaced that with two Exped MegaMats that we push together. We went that route over the Duo just for flexibility. The Expeds are pricy, but total game changers.

Yeah for sure, I totally get where you're coming from. If it's a toy, and not a daily, then the Disco could work out great. For reference, I traded my 2011 silverado for my LX, and I haven't looked back since. I was 26 when I bought it. I was in a similar situation where it was something I'd...

I think it depends on what you want from the vehicle. I drive a 2001 LX, which came without a rear locker, and I haven’t ran into any obstacles I wanted to go over that I couldn’t. Especially here on the east coast. The ATRAC system is very capable, even on the older 100s without the factory...

We love ours. It definitely makes everything a bit closer to glamping than camping. I have the T4, and I typically transport it on my roof secured with a strap to the side of my cheap Reese basket and down to the factory cross bars. It carries well, the only concern I have at times would be...

Following this, I’m in the same boat as you.

My pups and my wife. Taggart the Aussie, and Evie (or Evelyn when she's feeling fancy) the Pitador.

Welcome, there's a good sized group of us in NOVA that are pretty active on the Northern VA / MD Monthly meetups page. Great to have you aboard.

@hollonm created a Rally Point for a Flagpole Knob ride on Sunday 2/17. I didn't see it cross-posted over here, but it seems like some folks may be interested. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/flagpole-knob-trail-ride/

Flagpole Knob, it's a good little trip out toward the WV border. You can access it from a few different directions, but the most popular route seems to be up Forest Road 85A. It's between Rawley Springs, VA and Sugar Grove, WV. Sidenote, if you're bored, look up the history and government...

Seems like CB is the common denominator right now, but I’m wondering if it’d be good to set a standard for the area and recommend a comms setup that new folks should start with. I think GMRS would be a great way to go. Also, I ordered my CB and GMRS gear on Amazon and had it here in two days...

I went from Skidmore Lake to Flagpole Knob via Dunkie Hollow Road on Saturday afternoon. It was open, and doable in most stock rigs. I scraped my sliders a bit up near Flagpole, but that was probably more due to bad driving. I definitely recommend that area even though I won’t be able to make it...
