    Outsideonline article, "No, You Don't Need to Modify Your Truck to Go Off-Road"

    I do and don't agree with most of what was in the article. I'll echo what has been said, just get out and explore. Find out the limits of your rig in stock form, make a plan and go from there. In the article I found it interesting that he said bigger tires are louder. I just put 35" KO2s on my...

    August 2019 MN-WY/MT/ID

    We'll be taking my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, and staying in a tent. I talked to her the other day about portable toilets and such. She wasn't against the idea, but I know she'd like a couple of modern campgrounds along the way for a shower and such.

    August 2019 MN-WY/MT/ID

    So in August of 2019 my wife and I are planning to take 17 days off and leave from the Twin Cities in Minnesota and head out West. She's never been farther West than Black Hills, SD and I haven't been farther west in 15+ years. We plan to move out there in 10 years or so and I want to introduce...

    Overlanding Campfire Skewer

    I posted a picture to the Facebook group, but still haven't set anything up for hosting images. I used the Cowboy Kabobs a couple of weekends ago to cook some BBQ chicken, red potatoes, and onions. The square sides on the kabob are awesome, and it's a thicker skewer so even with all that weight...

    Compromise

    Mine is mileage and payload. Although this JKU gets the best mpg of any vehicle I've owned. The payload is abysmal. I, like your friend, would love a 78 Troop Carrier. I'm starting to dig the 200 Series as well, but don't think I'll ever own one.

    Mosquitoes

    A few years ago my wife got a Thermacell for her birthday and we were gone on a trip shortly afterwards. She was fine, and I got eaten alive. We promptly went to Wal-Mart and got one for me. Thing is awesome, but it does have a small area. It's great for around the fire, or if I'm cooking I'll...

    Membership medallion options for the JKU

    I've got mine on my rear door under the key hole. I have a picture on my Instagram. Haven't yet replaced my photobucket account, so any picture I had on here is gone.

    Samsung tablet for navigation?

    I'm running a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.1. Love the big screen, and haven't had any issues with the GPS signal. Like was said I've got BCN and the micro SD card is essential. I also have Torque Pro which is great to see what's happening. You can't go wrong really with any tablet, just make sure...

    Electrical Power Upgrades-2016 Jeep JK

    I'm running the Genesis system with dual Odyssey Extremes. I also have the sPod system. I eventually plan on adding some solar (quite a ways down the road), but also have a few lights, winch, air compressor, and an Engel MT45 fridge. I plan on adding the Goose Gear plate system, and installing...

    2018 JKU Golden Eagle

    Shouldn't need a winch yet. Save that money and use it to get everything else for recovery and new headlights, they are terrible.

    2018 JKU Golden Eagle

    My thought process is recovery gear first. How experienced are you offroading? Drive it and learn. Maybe all-terrain tires if the stock ones aren't great (they probably aren't, but fine for most gravel roads, etc.) Are those 17s or 18s? Also I'd switch out the factory antenna for a stubby...

    Do you have a preferred screen size for off road navigation? (vehicle)

    I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.1 that I use for offroad navigation. I like the big screen. As was said it does block access to the radio, but I have steering wheel buttons that help with that. For highway use I typically have my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 that I use Google Maps for.

    Hand Cleaner that every Overlander needs!

    I posted in a different thread. I've used it a handful of times working in the garage. I'm with the others in saying that a little goes a long way. I've used too much each time and have had to wipe it off. Works quite well, and since I currently don't have anything else it's my go to. Where can...

    Hello Minnesotans!

    BuiltRight 2018 Raptor Build

    I love that color. In a few years I want to get a Raptor, so I'm looking forward to what you develop. What part of Minnesota are you from?

    Mojave (or otherwise) pinstripes - what do you do??

    I'm kind of the same way. My rig is my DD, and I like to have it looking as nice as possible. I have a coating on it, and will be doing some wax, etc. The coating helps, but doesn't stop it. Eventually as you stated, I just see them as badges of honor. Thankfully with silver it's tough to see...

    My version of Mississippi Roast

    What's that table you used for the Dutch Oven? I might need to get one of those..
