You're thinking of the Bollinger B1&2. They had the tunnel that went from bumper to bumper. Pretty cool idea in my opinion but unfortunately they suspended production to focus on delivery trucks due to the lack of interest from the consumer market. The Rivian is more suited for RTT and they...

So far it's been pretty awesome. I took it to Colorado and did the Alpine Loop and a few other trails and it handled everything like a champ. There's no getting around the long charging time on 110v. It's a big battery and really needs a 220v to charge in a reasonable amount of time. If there's...

Just a quick note, I got a notification last night Imogene Pass from Telluride to Ouray will be closed for the next 4weeks due to construction.

We'll becoming in from the other direction. We plan to take Ophir Pass to hwy 145 up to Telluride. From there we intend to take Imogene Pass over to Yankee Boy Basin and into Ouray

We'll be coming the opposite direction but what you say makes sense and good to know. We always give right of way to uphill traffic. Hope y'all have a safe trip. Sounds like a good time.

Got an electric adventure vehicle and performed my first mod

I took delivery today so let the electric adventures begin ⚡

Apologies if I touched a nerve. I never travel unprepared or put myself in a situation where I would need to lean on the preparedness of others intentionally. It was meant to be more of a fun comment. Electric vehicles (and charging stations for that matter) will become more prevalent in the...

Yeah, looked at doing this also. What I came to was hybrid vehicles add a ton of additional failure points. The ICE trucks have more than 10,000 components whereas EV is around 400. That reduces failure points. In hybrid architecture, you combine the two and increase complexity. Also, electric...

Yeah, a generator could work. Solar would require way too many panels to be feasible. I'm not really worried about range. I'm rarely more than 150miles from some form of power. Even in the far reaches of Big Bend I can find an RV park with power.

I'll be taking delivery of my Rivian R1T this week and already have a few trips planned. I still love my Tacoma and will still use it for some longer trips until the infrastructure catches up but I'm excited at the potential it brings. I know some worry about range but just like an ICE, with a...

Thanks. Still the original frame from 1968. I've only upgraded the axle and trailer lights. Everything else, including pintle hitch, is all original. I believe you are correct that it's a M101A2. I love it. What plans do you have for yours?

Nice. I have the same trailer and love it. I swapped in a lighter axle, built a rack and threw a RTT on it. Love the fact that I can haul everything, including a couple kayaks, and have a really comfortable camp.

Put in a new rear axle with elocker

Thanks for posting this. I am planning a trip for July and this was almost the exact route I mapped out today. This will be my first time running these trails ( Ophir Pass, Imogene Pass, Yankee Boy Basin, Engineer Pass, Cinnamon Pass/Wager Gulch then back down to Silverton). Any advice or things...

We will be exploring some trails in NWA covering lots of water crossings, muddy trails, and breathtaking views. View Rally Point

I just got back from doing an Express Rally Overland event recently and loved it. We started in Dover and ran up Granny Gap and a bunch of other trails for a few days. Camped on the water every night and had a great time. I had a trip to New Mexico planned but the National Forest got shut down...

Sorry about the extra message. I realized after the fact and the site wouldn't let me delete. See you Friday morning.

Would anyone in the group be interested in a multi day kayaking trip down the Colorado River? I'm putting together a trip in late May and wanted to gauge interest.

Sounds good. I'll ping you on the next one we set up.
