  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week 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.

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    Sumo Springs installed. Going to wait on messing with the leaf pack until I’m ready for more lift and new shocks. Definitely want to replace the squeaky Dakars with something else, Deavers perhaps. Just wanted to thank everybody that chimed in here with advice. Much appreciated.

    Cancelled Central Washington Cascades Cleanup & Exploration

    Hey everybody... I had to shave a couple days off the front of this trip. I went for a hike and bit off way more than I could chew. My knees are a bit sore and I need some recovery time. I should be good to go by the 9th. Also, I'm hoping to do a little bit of fishing in that Cooper road...

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    I did buy a second emblem! I haven’t stuck it on yet.

    2022 Badlands Bronco

    Just read an article recently about this. Ford Dealerships are franchises, and Ford Corporate doesn’t have much control over them. Ford corporate CEO is trying to figure out how to set transparent prices that dealers can’t mess with, but there are a whole slew of state laws protecting the...

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    I have air bags on my F-150 and am definitely not a fan. Maybe I’ll like them better if I can ever find the leak and fix it.

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    It’s perfect when unloaded as my daily driver and weekend wheeling. It’s only when fully loaded with roof top tent, camping gear, and all the extras that I bottom out. Sumo springs look like the way to go.

    Thanks! I really appreciate that feedback. It’s where I was leaning after some research last night, but to have someone vouch for the sumo’s helps a lot. Will definitely add a leaf as well. I feel a September project coming on ;)

    Thanks for that! Current fires is something important to me too and a layer I consult during planning and pre-trip

    I don’t think I understand what you mean by go the other way and pull apart. If I’m bottoming out, doesn’t that mean the spring is flexing too far?

    That makes sense The only layers I really use are public land and wilderness areas so I know my boundaries. Then I’m winter I turn on snow depth so I can decide where I do or do t want to go. The current fires layer is also good info. If OB1 has that info incorporated or available, I’ll be happy.

    Ok, thanks. I think Hellwig makes one of those. I thought the overloads did that too, the ones on the bottom that curve down instead of up…

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I suspect that isn’t necessarily uncommon. Unfortunate and hard to hear about a product I’ve become so familiar with and spent so much time learning all the intricacies. Gaia was my offline Nav for both overlanding and hiking. There was a lot of comfort in that.

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    I have a Tacoma with an OME 2” lift on the (Dakar I assume) springs. When empty, it’s a great off roader and drives nicely as my daily. When I add my RTT and camping gear I am bottoming out. Frequently enough that I want to fix it. My instinct is to add a leaf. I have the OEM packs I pulled...

    Gaia has a new overlanding layer that is pretty good. I also like adding the wilderness layer and snow layer in winter I also want to start spending more time with OB1 and OnX

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I’m toying with the idea of trying the OB1 map app when I renew this fall. Can anybody provide some comparisons to Gaia, anybody fully vouch for it? Hard to leave something you’re used to, even if it is glitching a little bit.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I have that issue with my android tablet, but zero problems with my Apple phone. Turns out, the map did download the second trip, but not the first. There was zero indication so I was just hoping for the best. Very displeased with android in general, and definitely Gaia on android

    Welcome! Whatever it takes to get outdoors… A lot of the BDR routes can be done in your Mazda. I think you’ll be fine. Glad you’re here.
