    Thank you! I just ordered the Alpha 2, the annex room, and the awning for my Gladiator :-)

    Would you choose Colorado or Oregon?

    Yup, that is about the same that I pay in NoVA (about 40 miles west of DC - bit still in DC's traffic jam ;-)

    Would you choose Colorado or Oregon?

    Hmmmm, interesting discussion. I am thinking about moving West next year or the year after that, and spent some time on two projects in Seattle (yes, I know it is WA), and liked the Cascades a lot more than the Rockies, which were pretty tame IMHO - but I use the Alps as a comparison which might...

    OB Approved Members Spotted Thread

    I feel the same - even though there are a lot of members in Northern VA, I haven't seen a member in the last few years :-(

    Any Exped Megamat Max Owners?

    It is thinner, but when you roll it up it will fill the bag that it comes with nicely - and the bag is pretty large. It you leave it flat you should have no problems to fold it once and leave it in your tent. I am actually looking for a tent that accommodates the Exped size for the very same...

    Any Exped Megamat Max Owners?

    We have the "regular" Mega Mat (10) for over a year now. and like it a lot. I don't see any need to "upgrade" to a taller one. It is very comfy for two adults.

    What features does your favorite air mattress have?

    We bought an Exped Megamat 10 when REI had a 25% off sale. Still pricy, but I really like it, and everyone of our friends, who have it, highly recommended it. You might want to check it out at your local REI.

    The New Ford Bronco

    I say no, because I had the 2.7l engine in my F150 and it died at 75k (and Ford was not helpful). I am happy to be back in a Jeep - 17 years and counting.... No Ford for me in this life anymore.

    emblem tip

    I did this too when I sold my JKU and then sanded down the back of the emblem, so that a new 3M pad will sit flush on it. I couldn't get the remainders of the glue removed using GooGone :-(

    Is the Garmin Overlander better than a tablet and app?

    Can you install (sideload) the Google Play Store? That would give you additional functionality for non-car use - reading, music, etc. I did this on all my Amazon tablets and it is pretty easy to do there. Just download and install 4 files. I like the HW and if Garmin came out with a better...

    South America - routes and locations

    Well, there will be some more time until then - 2 kids in college, in between switching jobs (read: have success and establish yourself first), and then selling the house, etc etc. And I heard that learning Spanish would be helpful too ;-) My guess is that it takes half a year to a year for the...

    2020 Jeep Gladiator

    I haven't looked at the products you refer above, but I would look out for two things: geometry correction brackets, and the spring/lift rating. The first is self explanatory if you want to keep good driving manners, and the second is depending on the weight that will add to your Jeep - bumpers...
