    US Rocky Mountain Silver Island Mountain Loop-Utah - 01/12/2019

    I'm hoping to be there. We went to Death Valley over Christmas and had some trail carnage. Snapped the rear axle. Got a used rear end assembly and got the rig home but it needs work to bring it back up to par, plus a full check up on the rig, front end is making extra noise. If I can get it all...

    Need An Overland Vehichle

    I drive a 99 GMC Yukon. Yeah she's a little bigger, but she's solid, easy to work on. I can find parts anywhere for dirt cheap, and I haven't had to do much too it all. She's quiet and confortable.

    Any suggestions on keep warm in smittybilt overlander xl in nov Colorado

    I use a buddy heater for the RTT. Set it in the annex and let the heat rise, always stayed toasty. For inside the trailer we've always just piled on the blankets, we're getting some electric 12V heating blankets for backup for our Death Valley Trip around Christmas. It will be nice to climb...

    DIY Tahoe, going back to a full-size.

    Good looking rig. I love my Yukon, spent the past few years slowly building it up. Looking forward to see what you do to yours.

    I'm getting constant notifications from anyone that posts anything on the forum. If I click on them they come up saying "needs valid conversation id" . Never had this problem before, I should only be getting notifications from the forums I follow or participate in.

    What do you do for water?

    Trailer carries 20 gals. If I'm going to be gone longer than 2 nights I'll carry at least another 5 gals if not more. Going to install a second 20 gals tank sometime. Also carry a case of water bottles in the truck. OB# 3805

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Raptor lined the rocker panels of the Yukon. Paint was wearing through and starting to rust. Sanded her down, and sprayed her. Maches the black so well you almost can even tell. The trailer got an up graded battery as well. AGM sealed and designed for solar useage, should get some good power...

    Roof rack or trailer?

    Trailer is the best option, for me at least. Keeps the center of gravity lower on the whole setup. It's pretty high as it is and adding more stuff to the top I didn't like. Plus with the trailer we can setup camp and leave still. We probably haul more gear than we actually need, but if it gives...

    Installed a new battery isolator with the capability to connect the 2 batteries in parallel so I can use it to jump myself. The old isolator crapped out. OB# 3805
