I guess I've never heard of 'driving off' a hi-lift. That maybe could only be done if the jack were lifting the side of the vehicle and I can't imagine the scenario when that would be the best choice. However, when you lift a vehicle then "tip it over" to a more advantageous spot for better...

For my Overlanding money, and as soon as I hit that Lottery, I'd rather have something a little more conventional... like this: GlobalXvehicle Seriously, this is getting out of hand.

@Dana Ramos I know you can never predict the weather, especially there, but when do you think is a good time to plan a Spring trip to hit that area? Is end of May too soon? I've spent too long in a southern climate, I need a reality check in planning a trip up there. I know Spring is...

As previously mentioned, this topic is discussed elsewhere, but it's a good topic and one that seems to be a point of almost contention on every trail run I've been on. I'm one of those guys with Ham, CB, FRS that ends up being the cross-communication hub and it sucks because I rely on Ham as a...

Another couple of smaller mods took me the rest of today. I used a Front Runner faucet that I got through Anchor Mountain Overland because it's just the coolest faucet. The handle is a quarter-turn type, it locks and is meant to be mounted like this. After finding the perfect spot for that...

As much as I would have liked to have been on a trail this weekend, circumstances did not allow, so the next best thing is to mod! Today's project turned out to be mounting the farm jack [cheap hi-lift] on the trailer. I can't tell you how hard it was for me to drill holes in a brand new...

Looks like a nice site, good luck with it and hope to run across you at some point. I have plans for Colorado in the late Spring / summer 2018, wouldn't mind picking your brain for some good places... Dan.

Do you follow "Bold Overland" on InstaGram? They just recently had a trip through the UP, might have some information on there you could use.

Welcome Tyler, interested to know the potential for overlanding in MI. Dan.

@mtnhabitoverland on here is one of the reps out here for the Decked systems. Looks pretty cool for small trucks, I'd like to see them in person.

Anyway... welcome @Trekkieusn to the forums! Nice Subie, hope you can find some awesome trails and adventures with that one! It's cool that Subaru does that badge thing. It engenders owners to their car. More carmakers should catch on to that. Brand loyalty is important. Dan.

Don't you see the "Upload a File" yellow button in the lower right when you write a post? -----------------------------------------------------> over here... Pick a pic after you the upload button.

@professorkx that Jack mod thing for storage is pretty genius! I gotta think up a good storage method for my jacks, I have three and I just put them in my tongue box and on rough roads, I'm sure they'll do damage to anything else in there... hmmm.

After all those mods, I took it out for its maiden voyage to OTG17 last weekend. Campground camping but a good chance to find out what's working and what I still need to do. Dan Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using OB Talk mobile app

A couple other mods I've done, not too big but useful. Mounted my Waterport on the driver side fender. A 5 gallon water can next to the spare in the front. And filed under stupid simple but useful, levels to make sure I don't roll to the downhill side of the bed... Dan PS: Not sure why...

So, I've done a few mods, thought I'd share them here to show some progress on my build. I needed to find a spot for the propane bottle, the rear fender near my kitchen at my tailgate seemed the best choice. I fabbed up a holder in the shop. Found the right spot. ...painted and mounted...

Haha, I developed an exhaust leak up at OTG also, got worse as I traveled home. I'll just get under there and weld it up when I get a chance. Exhaust leaks can either be simple or expensive. They're usually expensive. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using OB Talk mobile app

Nice build! Fenders and a 3-axis hitch would also be high on my priority list. Looks like it will be very robust on trails.

Dana, found some interesting discussions on 'mud. Check these out for your education: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj62-a440f-at-oil-temp-light-rodney-response.899760/#post-10101506 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/at-oil-temp-light.1008524/#post-11198113 Not entirely sure if these...

Thanks. Looking for Pass side. Dan.
