in Arkansas! Just need this out of my garage please!

We have been out the last several weekends in Arkansas and have experience tons of high water. I know it is pretty normal this time of year but with the amount of rain we have had lately it is unusually high in places I haven't seen it before. Getting pretty dangerous. Thinking we may start...

I am not familiar with off-road or "Overlanding" trailers as I have always lived either in the vehicle or a tent. But the thought and consideration grow on me every day. The problem is around where I live it is very rough and I'm not sure how long one would last even if I did (which I would)...

There are tons of new people here. Seems like every day the member number changes with growth. I want to put this out there so that everyone knows. I hope you take the time to read this article put out by @Michael about taking care of our trails. It is called "Leave it Better than you Found...

I was needing a new shovel that would be all purpose in our adventures. Something to dig us out, dig around, dig to bury, etc. as we all do. I searched and really had my heart set on the Krazy Beaver shovel. But as I always do, I kept searching and looking and searching and looking. I ran...

Here is a little diddy about the weekend where several of us got together and had a great time around Big Piney area last weekend. It was definitely a fun time and we are excited about getting out and doing it again soon...

So I was wandering through Home Depot a few weeks ago and came across this little gem. It is an 18v cordless air compressor that runs off of the Ridgid Tools Lithium Batteries. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-1-Gal-18-Volt-Brushless-Cordless-Air-Compressor-R0230/300507507 It is a really...

just wondering what you all do... With all of the dash candy we have...gps, iPads, cell phones, more GPS, CB’s etc and etc. running up on the dash what do you all do to control all of the cables running to the place where you plug them in? Is all there is out there zip and bread ties? There’s...

Join us in the Ouachita National Forest on Feb 17 for the next Central Arkansas Meet and Greet. I have created a Rally Point with coordinates and info. This is a large campsite that can hold quite a few rigs. You can come th evening before and camp out or show up some time that morning...

For those who love to camp, eat and fellowship with others! This is not really a club, but it has a catchy name. lol. Come either the night before and setup camp or come in the morning and join the club! We will be meeting in the Ouachita National Forest for Breakfast, Coffee, Rigs and...

Sunday I scheduled here in Arkansas a dedicated Trash Run for the Ouachita National Forest. I contacted the Winona Forest Ranger District and asked them to give me the areas with the most needed attention. We packed up the trusty FJ Cruiser and headed west. I took the extra time to throw...

On Saturday 1/13 some guys from Natural State Overland posted that they wanted to do a ride. OB bound member @roadsterboy hosted the ride and put it all together. It turned out to be a really great ride. The routes were really nice and Forest roads turned into really nice trails in places...

I was going to wait until I had a few more things done to my FJ before I posted this build thread but I'm afraid I will forget something and leave something out and I really want to post this to remember for myself all that I have done and went through to make this exactly what I want to do what...

We will meet at Williams Junction Store on Hwy 9 and go from there. When the Jessieville Ranger calls me back and lets me know the areas that need the most attention we will have a better plan. But we will definitely be in the area of the Ouachitas around Lake Winona. View Rally Point Details

With the long weekend approaching I am planning a dedicated trash run for the Ouachitas on Sunday 1-14-2018. I am putting this out there so that those interested will know it will take place. I do not have an area or specific route right now. I have contacted the Jessieville Ranger Station and...

So when we had our Arkansas Meet and Greet last month someone made the statement, "we ran some trails today..." A (no offense) "jeep guy" asked "what trails did you run?" The answer turned out to be a Forest Road (for example FR126). So the answer or comeback was "that's not a trail, that's a...

Central Arkansas Meet and Greet went awesome! Thank you to everyone who showed up and participated. We had some great conversations laced with some trash talk between the Toyota and Jeep guys which always makes it more fun. Great stories of "hold my beer and watch this" to some great...

Okay so if we post routes in the main part of this forum they will get lost and we will have to search for them and maybe they will come up and maybe they wont. So maybe we can concentrate them here so we can all download them and upload them to our Gaia and check out routes that might interest...

I’ve read a lot of articles on the checklists and everything we should have with us before we leave. I’ve read @Michael article on taking 3 boxes and why. And I’ve looked at so many members’ rigs and their amazing drawers and storage solutions etc. but from your experience what goes where...

Today my wife and I spent all day today in the Ozarks NF exploring a few trails we hadn’t been down before. What an amazing day. What took up a lot of our day was picking up trash along the way. My Trasharoo was stuffed and even had to put some inside the FJ to bring home. I have talked with...
