Welcome, Chris! A great way to get out there is to just... well, get out there, hah! Ok, a more meaningful piece of guidance: A great way to get started is to look up a local national forest, Oconee, Chattahoochee, Francis Marion, whichever, then find the Multi Use Vehicle Map (MVUM) for that...

ALL Baofeng radios are illegal for GMRS use as they are NOT FCC Part 95 certified. Look for GMRS radios made by Midland, Cobra, and Motorola as they are kinda the top brands. I have Cobra GMRS handheld radios, i'm also looking into getting one of the nice Midland mobile units, specifically the...

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking here. If you have a GMRS license, you can use the GMRS channels using either a GMRS or FRS radio, as they now share the same channels. FRS radios are just low power. If you do NOT have a GMRS license, you cannot use a GMRS radio, but you CAN use an...

Welcome, Joel! Check Rally Point for events, It looks like Texas Overland is having a Food Drive event next month not too far from Dallas. /cc @Laud

Welcome! Nice looking truck, you're gonna have a ton of fun with it. I'm also here in Southern AZ (Tucson) so feel free to hit me up if you ever wanna hit the trails or just want some advice/tips on routes or camp spots. We go out fairly regularly, often a few times a month. Sometimes for just a...

Welcome, Travis!

Welcome! i'm looking forward to hearing about your Ranger, definitely start up a build thread if you make changes. I know a lot of people around here are keeping a close eye on that "new" platform.

I should have added some practical advice about lift height when i mentioned what I run, as it gives the context to why we chose the lift we did. Generally speaking, if your desire is go for distance/overlanding rather than crawling, you want the lowest lift that will fit the tires you want to...

It's so sweet. @Todd & Meg showed me some photos during the Southern Arizona Overlanders meetup and the craftmanship is top notch. Definitely consider putting a build thread up at some point, Todd!

I have a 2.5" AEV DualSport XT lift, which is essentially purpose built for overlanding. I love it, couldn't be happier. I also have a fridge an galley in the rear and we pull a turtleback trailer, so we swapped out the AEV rear coils with OME 2620 heavy load rear coils. It's a fantastic combo...

Welcome! Nice looking setup, i love the pupper poking it's head out in that photo!

I subscribe to Overland Journal and OutdoorX4, both are really good, imo.

That sounds like a pretty epic trip!

Welcome, Matt, great looking JLUR, I really love that iridescent green color, reminds me of the Fig Beatles we have here in the Southwest

Welcome, Taylor! It looks like you've visited my home state based on the photos!

Welcome Ruben! You are doing the right thing to take your kids out and show them the great outdoors! We have three of our own and they LOVE adventuring (almost as much as screen time, hah)

Beautiful area up there! There's so many interesting places to explore in this state, i do feel spoiled at times

I just googled some photos of Flint Hills, wow, incredible looking! And it's so strikingly different from what i'm used to here in AZ, which makes it all the more interesting to me photo sourced from: https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/background_nationalgeographic_1053943/

Thanks, @BikeHauler, that's a great idea, and it reminded me that i believe AEV makes a swing out that works with the stock Rubicon Hard Rock bumper... time to start saving up

That is awesome, hahaha!
