    Welcome from Arizona, Nice looking LR3! I'm curious about Kansas, do you find enough interesting places to explore there, or do you typically head on longer trips to other states? I ask because KS has the second lowest percentage of public land at something like 2%

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    Thanks! Yeah, aside from the better (subjective, possibly) trail capability, the availability of custom parts and modifications is just about unbeatable with wranglers

    Forest service website accuracy?

    You are fine on those roads. the 50" is for width, not length in case that wasn't already clear. Here's the MVUM road/trail legend which will help make sense of all the lines, dots, dashes, and grey highlights found on the maps. source: https://www.fs.fed.us/r3/gis/Images/newMVUMLegend.pdf

    Favorite Trail Meals

    Ever since we put a fridge in the rig a couple months ago, we can safely bring raw chicken along. Dry fried chicken wings (or legs) has become one of my favorite go-to camp meals, and the prep/cooking is super simple. I typically season with Tajin which gives the dish a great sweet and tangy...

    Why Did You Become a Member of Overland Bound?

    I lurked with no account for quite a while before I actually signed up for the forums and then became a member. At the time, the main reason for me becoming a member was because i had found enough value in the posts i was reading that i wanted to kick a little back to the site. I was encouraged...

    Let’s see some DIY projects that’s been done for your Rigs.

    Fridge seems to run just fine in the box. The manual recommends leaving at least 10cm around the input and output vents on either side, so I cut out vent holes in the sides of the fridge surround, and then the bottom drawer to the immediate right of the fridge only goes back 12" so the vent hole...

    Cooking Location

    Up until recently we used a Lifetime 4428 4ft x 2ft adjustable height folding table and it was perfect. Folds in half, so you only have a 2ft x 2ft x ~4" thing to stow away. The best part of it is the adjustable height legs. With them fully extended out, the table is about counter height, which...

    Let’s see some DIY projects that’s been done for your Rigs.

    I slapped together a fridge surround and drawer system for the back of our JKU. I was kind of in a rush because I wanted to use it for a bit trip early this month but only had about a week. My drawer spacing is a bit sloppy but i'm 100% happy with the functionality. My desire for perfection...

    Go to Baja with looming threat of border shutdown?

    Yeah, I think you're likely correct. In fact, the MX government has already stepped in and is attempting to stop the caravan from progressing (and has already stopped a second smaller caravan and arrested a bunch of people). i suspect if the caravan does actually make it (at the current pace of...
