  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Clovis/Fresno Meetup

    It seems the Fresno/Clovis scene is DOA..... @Narbob @TOMB @Kent R Coffee and rigs? Trail run? Meet and greet? I am going to participate in a car show organized by a local church on Fathers Day June 16, perhaps we could use as a meetup ($10/car to enter) or just come and hang? The car show...

    Battle at Death Valley over Lithium Mining

    Interesting article I read this morning in the LA Times. There is a push by a mining company to dig exploratory wells in Death Valley dry lake beds in the quest for lithium. This is the first I heard of it, but an interesting issue to face. They need lithium for green energy, but do we destroy...

    Clovis/Fresno Meetup

    I am up for it. I would like to see a regular meeting. The Dutch Bros in Fresno on Palm/Herndon has a decent parking lot. Would be fun to start a Rigs and Coffee event....

    Jeep JKU Overland build - stiffer springs?

    So after much research, I'm actually rethinking the 3.5" RE as it seems to yield closer to 4"-4.5" depending on application! That's too much for my rig and too many other parts I would need to change out. At this point, I'm thinking the RE 2.5" Progressive springs will do better for my...

    Jeep JKU Overland build - stiffer springs?

    Just did Mojave road and I use a RC Puck lift....To say my rear stock springs sagged is an understatement. I'm thinking I may go with a Rubicon Express 3.5" coil lift in the near future. Part # RE7142P (as I'm going to get the Progressive Springs/coils this go around.) I've enjoyed the puck...

    Mojave Road Conditions? Can you update?

    Interesting as the trail is only 160 miles from Avi to I15 out of Afton area. We are going to take some detours, but I get about 15mpg on trails so figured I'd have plenty. I am taking my 5gal extra, but may take a bit more then. I'll research a bit too. Thanks all! Stoked!

    Mojave Road Conditions? Can you update?

    Thanks for the report Dan! Good to hear the trail is in good order. I plan to hit DV Mine and Afton Mine. For the gas, you used your reserve? The Mojave Road start to finish is only 160+ side treks. Am I missing something? Thanks M

    Mojave Road Conditions? Can you update?

    Hey Overlanders, I have a trip in 1.5 weeks to Mojave Road planned and am looking for any road reports, trail conditions, dry lake bed info or Mojave River crossing information that anyone who has done the trail recently can provide? I talked to the Kelso Rangers District mid-week, but it...

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    I'll be in Mojave in 2 weeks.....you want me to clean them up?! [emoji6][emoji39][emoji848] On another note, where the old bus was, I thought of starting a small yellow school bus shrine with hot wheels and die cast models. [emoji38][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji854]

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    I believe the organization of trash makes it either trash, art, or trashy art....lol

    Overland Trailer - Lowe’s 3x5 Carry On - Kevin

    I like it, but I just look at the frame and think it isn't rigid enough? Did you add extra bracing/support to the frame and tongue?

    Heating water under the hood

    I've always thought of putting a water container under my Jeep hood to get hot from the engine compartment. Not boiling, but hot enough to take a quick cleaning of the hot spots. I figure a water container under the hood could reach up to 80-100 degrees on a warm day. Not a hot bath, but a warm...

    I guess I was more interested in the people that live in the Fresno area.
