Update, I am considering doing parts of the Southern Utah Traverse trail. Any thoughts on attempting this in January?

Hi Folks, I have about a two week window at the beginning of January to do a solo overland adventure trip. Coming out of Chicago area I am looking to escape the cold and get a few days out on the trials to roam around, hike and camp. My initial thoughts were to shoot out towards southern Utah...

Just to update everyone. In the end I ended up going with Falcon 3.3 shocks ( I was able to find for sale new in opened box locally at 50% off retail) and paired the shocks with Teraflex outback spring set ( TeraFlex - JK 2-Door 3" Lift – JKU 4-Door 2.5” Lift: Outback Rear Coil Springs - Pair)...

I ended up putting in an Odyssey PC1500. I was able to run a fridge and some other LED lights without any issues. I did however get stuck in a deep mud hole while running a trail out in the Ozarks. I tried winching out (Warn VR10) and the battery gave up after about 20-30 seconds of winching...

I am looking to add a fridge to my 17" JKUR and have embarked on doing some research regarding batteries. I know dual set up would be the solution, however my trips do not involve me being stationary for more than an overnight period so basically I'm looking to upgrade my main battery to be...

Which Air lift bags did you use?

Thank you :)

Thank you for taking the time to write such an informative reply. I called AEV and talked to two different gentlemen there; the recommendation was to upgrade to their 3.5" Inch lift kit as that has more room. I worked in motorsports for a number of years so I really appreciate all of the...

Thanks for the tip and info. Is there a particular spot I should be measuring the sag rate on the front and the back? As far as loosing weight? HI lift jack could be it, but honestly I consider it an insurance item while out on trail. Other than that, the set up is pretty basic; front Hard...

I have a 17" JKUR Hard Rock, the vehicle came equipped with AEV 2.5" lift, on 35"s with AEV geometry correction brackets. I got the jeep in February, since I have outfitted the the rig to make it more trail ready. I've added a front winch with steel line,gobi roof rack with a smittybuilt RTT...

Schaumburg IL here... Anybody doing anything over the labor day weekend? Thinking about heading out to Drummond island.

Hi All, I'm pondering a 3-4 overland road trip for the labor day weekend, this would be my first overland / off-road trip so I am looking for something newbie friendly. My initial trip idea was to leave Friday after work heading to silver lakes dunes and crash there overnight. Wheel around...

Thank you for all of the incredible input folks. I truly appreciate it. After a long search I just yesterday closed a deal on a car. While the ZR2 was a strong contender, I was able to score a great deal on a one owner, low mile 2017 JKUR Hard Rock. The Rubi already came equipped with a 2.5"...

Hello all, I am looking to get my feet wet with some overlanding and mild off road. I am working with a budget of about a 35K ( the less the better) for a vehicle and I'm on the fence between a slightly used JKU Rubicon or a slightly used diesel ZR2 Colorado. The vehicle would have to...
