    Cooler size

    I have four daughters who camp with me. That means a lot of beverages and a lot of grub to keep them happy! I have a RTIC 65 if it helps. Absolutely love the cooler. I don't have a roof rack or trailer, but I can still fit it into the cargo area of my JKU and close the tailgate with no issue. I...

    Nice! I *had* a 2017 Triumph Explorer XCA for my 2-wheeled trips. Unfortunately, I had to sell it due to divorce proceedings. :(

    Military Trailer Registration

    Definitely get AT LEAST a Bill Of Sale. Here in Missouri, you can buy a trailer without a title and get it plated, but if no title or MSO, you need a Bill Of Sale. Hope this helps!

    Rednecks and litter/trash/rubbish

    OK, to start- my apologies for anyone taking the "redneck" label the wrong way, as I have multiple buddies who proudly claim redneck status and DO NOT litter. That being said- what's the worst you've seen, with regards to trash on a trail? Here in Missouri- when it was legal to run trails in...

    What Trail Condition Do You Fear The Most?

    Cliff edge driving....which is odd from a guy who loves steep skiing and rock climbing....I guess I both love and fear it all at once!

    Question for members with Jeeps

    Mmmmmm....Anvil JKUR! Anvil and Rhino are, IMHO, two of the best colors Jeep ever came out with. I got mine in Rhino and I'm loving it. My brother bought an Anvil. PS- GREAT looking rig!

    New overlander from Colorado Springs area

    @Etoimos Yeah, we are the rare birds, for sure... But to be honest- nobody seems to care here. I love that! I've been a Jeep owner since 1994, and have been a member of multiple Jeep groups/clubs/pages, and many seem to have a "Jeep or nothing" approach to anything offroad. I, admittedly, used...

    Nesting pot set for large group (5-8 people)

    Have a look at MSR (Mountain Safety Research) they used to do a complete set of nesting pots. I've got a few of theirs from over 20 years ago that I still cook with- so it's solid stuff!

    New Member from Colorado Springs

    Hi Jake- welcome! I have to admit I'm a bit jealous of you. I love the Colorado Springs area!! I've climber at Garden Of The Gods, and took my kiddos up Pike's Peak just last summer. I dig that entire area!

    New to Exploring with an Explorer - Sacramento, CA

    Welcome! You're right- there's an absolute plethora of information in this group, and they all seem to be a bunch of solid folks. Will love watching as you build your Explorer, and more so to see you post up on the Gambler 500! That was a race my best friend and I talked about doing before he...
