Went to dead horse state park yesterday. I think if you are in the area it's definitely worth checking out. I also went to canyonlands national park. I have always wanted to go and I was not disappointed. I was going to check out shafer trail down the switch backs or even take it back to...

I didn't know about EJS. I sure do now. I got some odd looks at the gas station like" does he know he's not a jeep?" It was packed and crazy. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Quick update Made it moab yesterday. Went to Arches National Park. Today I'm going to go to Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands. I will definitely have to plan a trip for this area. All the off road trails Moab has and there are roads in Canyonlands I wish I could take like the White Rim...

Made it to Burlington Colorado! Today was mostly driving but I saw a big windchime. And a big rocking chair.I probably wouldn't have stopped but I needed gas. There was a bunch of other big stuff there but I didn't feel like looking for it. The few people I met weren't very welcoming. Oh well...

Thanks all! Today wasn't as productive as I would have liked. Only made it 650 miles. Hit a lot of construction and accidents. Hwy was closed and had to re route twice. Also there was a huge pot hole and when I hit it I blew the rear passenger shock. The radflos have a valve on the side for...

Packed up and ready to start my trip tomorrow. I will try to leave early and knock out some seriously mileage the first day. Hopefully I can make good time to let me Adventure a bit before Monday. Got my roof bins full and secure. I also managed to pack so I can reach my cooler from the...

After a few tough months of being unemployed and staying with family, I have found my next adventure. I got a job in Death Valley National Park with Death Valley Lodging Company. I will be working at Stovepipe Wells! On Wednesday April 12th I will be starting my road trip from New Jersey to...

I was reading this thread the other day and while I was in Walmart I decided to look at some different options. Picked up one of these on clearance for $9.00! Haven't used it yet. But I figured it's worth a try. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I almost always travel solo. I plan things out more. I like to have a communication plan. Sometimes there is no cell phone service. So tell someone when I'm leaving and when I'll be back or when I will check in. Then I give them a later time like. If I haven't checked in by this time. Im between...

The more things change the more they stay the same This is why i really enjoy overland bound. Its definitely different from other forums and has an acceptance not seen in many hobbies or lifestyles. I think. Like most things we find important. Sharing our knowledge and awareness to others is...

I don't have kids or back seats in my X anymore. I personally think the way the back doors are shaped that it would be hard to get a car seat in an out all the time. I would go to the forum www.thenewx.org and search on there. Im sure someone has brought it up before. Also. That year range did...

Yeah I am thinking this is the way to go. Thanks I was just in harbor freight looking at them last week! Thanks I used my stock scissor jack until the prongs where the extention bar attaches broke. Then picked up a different one and its having the same weak points. I like that they are...

Those are definitely pretty cool but im not sure they would be best for changing tires on the side of the road and maintenance. Thanks for the input! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Im looking for some ideas for jacks to carry in the rig. I have a hi lift for recovery and stuff like that but use a scissor jack for everything else. Only problem is i have issues with them over time. The extensions bending and snapping and such. I have a bottle jack but and i thought that...

Thanks! It really makes a difference. It shows that you care and stick behind it but also it functions. Other forums and sites i use to use have so many ads now they freeze up and slow down my whole laptop or phone. Also. The app works great! Thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Awesome X! I had the same problem with the hitch. They are such a pain to take off. Well at least mine was. Ill have to pick up those recovery points for the rear. That should work out great until i save for a rear bumper/tire carrier. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
