  • 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.

    Honey, why do you drag so much stuff along?

    reminds me of the old joke about the couple fighting about spending money. The wife was griping he was spending too much on beer. He was griping about her spending too much on clothes and makeup. She said she spent the money to make herself prettier for him. He said...that is what the beer...

    Overlanding and CPAP

    Being in an enclosed space causes a rise in humidity, so a humidifier is rarely needed. It saves a ton of power.

    Need help understanding spare wheel size needed for a custom tire size

    As long as the tire rim diameter matches the rim size (20") you can run that rim, especially for a spare. The difference between a 275 and 285 tire is negligible.

    US Rocky Mountain High Dollar Run - Tincup > Taylor > Pearl > Paradise Divide

    Hope Pearl is open. I is normally only open for about a month or so, and many years never opens. As far as hard goes, Pearl is bumpy with tons of volley ball sized rocks, but would never call it hard. I would not hesitate to take my trailer over either. I have run both a dozen times or more...

    Re-fueling from your Gerry can

    Due to Jeep XJ fuel pumps having a history of dying, I carry a spare under the back seat. I have a 20 foot piece of fuel line and a cable with connectors for it. I just drop it in the can on the trailer and put the hose in my vehicle. I then plug it into a cigarette lighter and can empty the...

    old_man's Offroad Teardrop Trailer Build Thread

    Just doing an update/mod on the trailer. The people who were aghast that I was running 31" tires on the trailer are going to flip out now. I replaced the brake drums on my 3500# axles with the same lug pattern as my jeep to keep from having to have two spares. My trailer is now on 35x12.50x15...

    Sirius radio antenna and RTTs

    It will absolutely block the signal. A moveable antenna is about the only decent alternative.

    Poll: When you camp, do you normally have cell service?

    Being the techie, I am installing a StarLink satellite system in my teardrop so I can bug out to the mountains and still work remote. That gives me wifi for my phone and computer. I can video conference. That is mainly for the wife. She is a minister and spends 4-6 hours a day coordinating...

    The Best Explanation Of Overlanding I've Read

    This is a contentious issue for me. I drive a 38 year old Jeep Cherokee that the wife surprised me with on my birthday around 25 years ago. I keep it in tip top shape, even though I beat the crap out of it frequently. It was a royal POS when I got it and piece by piece I have rebuilt it...
