    RTT's... pros and cons?

    I'm just gonna mention the quick "bad" ones that popped up from this past week's trail ride. Bad: It's somewhat permanent. My RTT sits on top of removable crossbar, so 4x15mm bolts accessible by normal size hands. But it is heavy and big enough to remove between trips. I rather not have it...

    My JEEP GPS routed me thru Trail Rating 10!

    So on my way back with my 2 kids, from an epic trail ride up here in MN north woods with the local overland group, i asked my GPS to route me to Go Home instead of stopping by Duluth. So it did it's thing, recalculating... and found me a new route. Great! I missed the turn as it was pretty...

    RTT packing suggestions

    oh yeah, the annex is really bulky. We decided we're only bringing it for winter camping. Also true on the overhang, it adds more crap to tuck in but after few uses you'll figure it out. The only thing i hate now is trying to handle the zipper without getting snagged while i'm working it on...

    RTT packing suggestions

    Note that the vinyl cover loosens up once broken in which gives you more allowance to not having the tent tightly closed. Besides you dont want to stress out the joints too much tying to ratchet it down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    I actually put on air bags on mine to support the stock (soft) suspension for our trips. Primary helps in the long distance driving keeping the headlights down and geometry of the truck (aero and weight loading). If you've seen a lot of classig overland rigs, none look like a rock crawler...

    RTT packing suggestions

    So far we got 3 pillows, comforter and fleece. I need another pillow and looks like it will work. You will need to even it out and make sure you got room at the end where the tent tucks in. I also used a compression bag and then just put it on top between the vinyl cover and the folded tent...

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    What brand is that basic setup? You may have a decent setup already. It is not the height you need to worry about but whether the coils are sprung properly for load you will be carrying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone has info on Camp 5 Road (Blackhills)

    Awesome, this is what i am looking for. I do have all the public maps and have some trail route ideas laid out based on the MVUMs. We can always turn around but it would be nice to know ahead of time if we can pass thru the trails so we don't break our schedule, the kids need to see Mt...

    People who steal suck!!!

    Sucks! My shovel is easy to steal. It's a cheapo but we got history so i'd feel bad. I did have to switch from soft to hardtop on the jeep for the next trip since i will be leaving the jeep in a lot overnight. That wont stop them but at least they'll make a scene doing it. Sent from my...

    Anyone has info on Camp 5 Road (Blackhills)

    We're heading out to Blackhills in 2 weeks and the plan is to navigate from Camp 5 area down to Custer. We're a JKUR (typical overland load) and a stock LC200, it's family overlanding trip so no testosterone crawling here. I'd like to know if we are going to be fine on Camp 5 rd. The LC...

    If there's already a fire, why cook on a stove?

    I got this off REI's 20% sale, I'm glad i brought it since the fire grill was a mess. And the cool part is I can set my fire pit wherever

    Best Rooftop Tent

    I am happy with TuffStuff, especially for the budget minded. It comes with annex which as mentioned is great for inclement/cold weather paired with MrHeater. I really haven't seen any notable quality deficiency given the price difference to the well known brands. Sent from my iPhone using...
