    TransAmerica Trail 2JUN17-21JUN17

    @project.hi.vis Did you end up compiling the list of equipment you didn't use or were happy to have? I am gearing up to do the same trip in the spring, and don't want to waste money overbuilding my rig. Also, did you create a GPS file with your route?

    Overlanding the northeast/new england

    I did the Mount Beacon (Beacon, NY) service road back in August, and while it's technically illegal, it's generally accepted by local authorities, the mayor, and hikers that off road vehicles have been climbing it since the 60s. I have never heard of anyone getting ticketed or having their...

    Chicago Overland Bound Travel Group

    Hey @RandRover , looking forward to joining your group this weekend. Shot you a quick question via PM, and am hoping to great weather (although it looks like it'll be a bit wet). Picked up a UV-82 as well!

    Road Shower 2 Five-Gallon Pressurized Solar Shower Review

    Looks like this guy has done just that: I'm thinking that if it was disassembled, painted black, and put back together that it would absorb sunlight enough to make it tolerable and warm (maybe not HOT). On long sailing trips I've used gallon jugs covered in black contractor bags and it works...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    I have the Smittybilt XRC 9500 lb winch arriving tomorrow, and also picked up a BaoFeng UV-82 radio for a two-day trail run with some new friends this coming weekend. I've got my eyes on a Garvin Expedition roof rack, and Smittybilt XRC Atlas rear bumper and tire carrier that has space behind it...

    Hey OB family, this is Brandon with my first post. My first vehicle ever was an 88 Jeep Cherokee and I've been a Jeep fanboy ever since. I have been wanting a Wangler Unlimited pretty much since the first one hit the pavement, and finally bought a 2010 JKU Sport a couple of months ago. Like a...
