    STORAGE NOISE

    As @hardtrailz said, if you pack right, shouldn't be too much of a problem. One thing I do is after everything is packed I toss my sleeping bag and pillows -- yes, pillows! -- over the top of the load to help steady everything and then anything still rattling gets muffled well by sleeping bags...

    grand cherokee what issues to look out for ?

    Um, first thing I notice is its not a Grand Cherokee. That's the Cherokee. So if it's being sold as a Grand, I'd walk away right now. A 1998 GC looks like: I googled this image, it is not mine, FYI. As for other things, on the little Cherokee the gutters are great for roof rack systems. You...

    What's your favorite piece of recovery gear?

    Smarts because I haven't the other equipment so far, except a shovel. Hopefully I also under-estimate what my jeep can do enough so I don't get stuck in the first place![emoji51]

    How To: Off-Road Trail Tire Repair

    Ahhh, yes....done this many, many, many times. Never in the mountains, never in the forest, always near home getting nails on the road. At one time I had 2 plugs in one back tire, another in the other back tire and one in one of my front tires. Really easy to do, and last. I never replaced the...

    Overlanding is not Elitist!

    This is a great thread! It's funny, maybe just human nature to always think "What I have is better than what you have!" The "snobbery" is kind of silly, but I have to say, the specific vehicle-centric threads are great and even helpful. That way if I am looking to see what someone did with a...

    Jeep Owners Represent!

    Really like the look of the Grand Cherokee! That's kind of what I'm going for. I already have the same rack and at some point will add the front brush guard. Question for you: what size gas cans and water cans do you have on the rack in the pic? I'm looking at various containers, but 50lbs of...

    Thoughts and reasons for your chosen rig

    I went with a Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2007. I had been driving a grand Cherokee (1994) that I bought used and it held up wonderfully as my daily driver. When I started looking to replace it I was really leaning heavily toward VW Touareg with the 4.2 V8. Ultimately it came to a simple point : if I...

    Sorry, I need to vent..Jeep wave..

    Funny post! I've got a WK and I never get a wave except from people local to the roads I drive in the middle of nowhere! I know someone who has a 4-door Wrangler. He gets and gives waves only to other Wrangler-type Jeeps. He considers other jeeps to be inferior. He sent me a pic of a couple...

    Strange occurrences and tales of the unexplained!

    I haven't experienced anything untoward as yet. But I do enjoy seeing satellites zip overhead in the very dark, very clear skies. And seeing meteors from time to time. Did see one blow up, sort of. Didn't see the actual meteor, but saw the flash from it as it blew up. Next day heard that it was...

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    Here we go...the Firearm Safety Certificate study guide from the CA Office of the Attorney General: http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/firearms/forms/hscsg.pdf. Includes self tests after each chapter. This link is to the same source but is the summary so it is a quicker read...

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    Something everyone should do! I try to get to range a couple times each year to keep up skills, knowledge etc. Something we went through in our family as kids under my fathers direction was learning to shoot - a .22 bolt action as it can't rapid fire and recoil is nearly non existent - to...

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    Great article! One thing I would like to see, however, is if you could put links to sources such as DOJ, CA AG, etc. That would be helpful. Reason I say that is some of what I heard from a deputy sheriff up in Nor Cal contradicts some of what is stated above. But, what others have said, it's...
