Yes, I have a photographer friend in Edmonton I also hope to hook up with, it would be nice to meet a few overlanders on the adventure.

What I have planned so far is here: https://overlandbound.com/forums/threads/alasaka-bound.3806/ Post #15 is the revised trip plan to this point. It would be great to meet as many of the fellow OB members and fellow overlanders when I pass through. Any ideas would be appreciated also.

Being retired has it advantages.

Next year planning a 45 day tour up to Alaska. I am going to bookmark this, hopefully I can meet up with some of you on my way up or back.

Cloudy and some sprinkles but it did not stop the great attendance of the OB West So Cal meet up at the Tustin Market Place. These were take at the start of the gathering so more came in. To busy talking to take more. I know Frank got a rig count of 47 rigs. Time to change locations if this...

225/65 - R17 BFG All Terran KO2

It is so nice

Here is my 2017 Outback

The biggest hit to gas milage on the freeway is the roof rack and tire on top. This trip to Joshua Tree was 28-30 MPG on the freeway doing 70MPH ??? and I reset the trip on the dirt portion and the computer was stating 20 MPG when I hit asphalt again. So really I think the KO's might have lost...

Curt is what I am looking at also with the Wilco tire carrier.

Thanks I am trying to keep it simple but functional, a sleeper per say. The rack is a Rola 59504-V without extension. The size is 39" wide by 48" long. I got some spray on bed liner from the auto parts store to protect it a little better from scratches. Put 3 coats on it and it is working...

Thanks, it will only be a mild build but will suit my needs perfectly.

On May 31st I decided to head out to Joshua Tree National Park to visit the Old Dale Mining District on BLM land just outside the northeast portion of the park. Heading up Pinto Basin Road from the Cottonwood Spring Ranger Station at the south entrance I started the off pavement adventure out...

PHASE 4 was to install the new tires. I was debating in my mind to determine if I wanted the Yokohama AT GO15’s or BFG All-Terrain KO2’s. Well, I have loved the BFG AT’s I have had on 2 previous trucks so I decided to go with them. I went with the same size tire as stock a 225-65 / R17...

For PHASE 3 I installed additional electrical connections for powering and charging for cameras, pads and the like in the rear of the console. 1 additional cig lighter power outlet and 3 (2-station) USB plugs. With the ones provided with the car I now have enough charging ports for my needs.

Below are before and after photos of the clearances from the lift. A basketball was used to see how much clearance I will have for obstacles off-road. Not bad, I am very happy with the outcome.

PHASE 2 finally happened at the end of April when the lift kit was purchased and installed by Patrick and his brother at ADF. After a quick wheel alignment I was set to again drive home the next day. By the way after the install everything was still within factory specs for the alignment. It was...

So the last weekend in January I drove to Vancouver, WA to visit my son and his family and to buy my new Overland vehicle, a silver Subaru Outback 2.5i from Gresham Subaru in Oregon. On Monday I got the car, went to my son’s home to load it up for the trip back to SoCal the next morning. After...
