    What keeps you from overlanding more?

    I have the greatest job ever. have tons of time off from work and tons of places to go near here. I just have too many hobbies. My wife and I both ride Harleys and are pretty much involved in that when the days are beautiful. Avid Bowler in league three nights a week and many tournaments...

    Arkansas Winona Auto Tour - Fall Foliage Day Tripping

    It wasn't a beautiful Day, kind of hazy and cool...mid 70's during the middle of the day. I know from living in Central Arkansas all of my life that there is a short window to see the fall foliage, especially if you have really good fall colors. The rain and the wind come and all of the leaves...

    Lessons from a guy who couldn't wait...

    Yes I have noticed the blind spots. I have added mirrors right off the combat this. Plus I added my wife in the passenger seat or getting out checking when I have to turn around. These blind spots didn't deter me from purchase as I know I am mostly moving forward and rarely backward. Plus...

    I plan on getting up there again very soon. If this weekend is warm and sunny we will be on the motorcycles up around Mt View seeing some fall foliage, but if its cooler and wet we will be up in the Big Piney area again doing some exploring!

    Love the area up around Beaver Lake and Dam above Eureka. I hope its all back to normal after the bad flooding we had up there this year. The bridge was under water. We ride our motorcycles up there quite a lot. Beautiful area. The White River is amazing. I plan to do some scouting up...

    Thanks for the encouraging words! I truly was rewarded by jumping in head first. Got the fever and have to go back for more. I do have a long list of accessories to purchase in order of importance, but if I waited for those I would have one foot in the grave or maybe both. Ride safe.

    Thanks Steve. I noticed that seemed to be exactly what it was built for. I do like mods, but my budget won't allow me to get pulled into that trap as you say. Only the necessities for me. I've always been much of a minimalist anyway. But there is some really cool stuff out there I've been...

    Lessons from a guy who couldn't wait...

    Very true. That was the first thing I checked when I purchased this used FJ. Not that I like the stock jack's that cars come with, but they are usually the main thing that is missing on a used vehicle. Sure thing. No jack. But I do have one that I carry instead. Hard to change a flat with...

    Lessons from a guy who couldn't wait...

    Will do. Problem with this one was I didn't discover it til I got home. If it had been an overnight trip I would have been screwed for sure. That will go down on a must have's for the prep list for next trip. Thank you for adding your experience to this and giving me a heads up!

    Thank you for your input as all is well received. December is usually pretty nice here. The worst weather for us believe it or not is february. Most Christmas' I'm usually in short sleeves. But it varies and can change in a heartbeat. But for the most part December in the Ozarks is pretty...

    So I bought my 2007 FJ Cruiser a few weeks ago. Once I did I googled about different things you could accessorize it with...little did I know I would find a whole community out there who loves and lives for what I was about to get into...I didn't even know it had a name. lol. I feel neck deep...

    Arkansas

    Just bought my FJ Cruiser this past month and really am excited to get involved in this. Just wondering if anyone knows about Arkansas and where we are able to go. I have found some information on Ozark Overland Trail. I don't have many mods on my FJ just yet but want to get out and explore...

    Best Wheel/Tire Combo for Daily Driver??

    Thank you. No I currently do not have a lift and I do run stock wheels and tires as of now. I think that is a low priority compared to the other modifications I want to do first. Thank you for your input.
