    Finally got to Moab

    Hopefully you missed the kayak races down the main street in Moad following the same storm that caused the I70 mud slide! Travel safe, nice save.

    Leave it better then you found it...

    Well said Sir, and thank you for doing this......I sincerely wish I were closer and I'd come visit right away.

    Rethinking many aspects of our Overlanding setup and goals.

    It's ALWAYS the art of the compromise......advantage to self contained is just that....but you have to move the whole house every time. Advantage to trailer is that you don't, but you do have to trailer. Coming off adventure motorcycles and tent camping, my wife and I went for the ability to go...

    Roof Rack Awnings, what are you using and can you share some pics please

    I just put an Overland Vehicle Systems (OVS) 180 on my teardrop trailer.....no pics yet, but very impressed with the quality. And they have walls for them as well.

    Navigation to the trail

    I have been combining Trails Off Road and Gaia........getting to the trailhead has been mostly Google Maps when required.

    Let's talk about off set!

    Stock JK offset is 6.25" AEV wheel offset is 5.3" Most common offset used on lifted and wide tired JKs is 4.5" Personally, I am not a fan of the super fat tire look on Jeeps, I like the tall skinny look. I have AEV Pintlers at 5.3" and 285/75/17s at about 11" wide and everything is just flush...

    Shorty Tundra build

    There is something about the regular cabs that's just kinda cool in a Tundra.

    Colorado BDR - Okay on stock 4Runner?

    My wife and I will be out and about around Ouray, Telluride, Silverton, Lake City, Buena Vista that same week Jeepin' about and me showing her the places I've been on two wheels that I want to share with her. Holler when you nail down a plan, and if our paths cross we can share a beer.

    Colorado BDR - Okay on stock 4Runner?

    You Tube is your friend here, lots of ride/drive reports.....good luck. When is the trip?

    Colorado BDR - Okay on stock 4Runner?

    I have NOT done the whole route, but most of it from what I have ridden, and what else I know about is not overly difficult. Hagerman Pass might be one of the "harder" sections. However, 4 wheels are slower than two when off road, so as you do a bit more research, keep in mind that you can leap...

    OnX or Gaia

    I'll follow this one.....I use Gaia and Trails Offroad. I like meandering in TO looking for trails and finding some "difficulty" info and then pull it into Gaia for nav. But it appears that you can do both in OnX. I've been wondering about it as well.

    Molar 2” lift

    Adding weight is the struggle! I am trying to methodically make changes that are needed vs simply just wanted or cool...weight is one of my concerns.

    Molar 2” lift

    I have no personal experience with it, but have read that it is a fairly decent lift. What are your plans for the rig? It's ALL inter-related when it comes to lifting a Jeep....I have been reading for months and just ordered one for my JK. Tires (size and load rating), inflation pressures, and...

    Any time....if you have questions, reach out! And maybe our paths will cross and I'll convince your wife this is the ONE! ;-)

    We went with a civilized version....a NuCamp Tag. It's what they call a Boondock edition, so lifted and bigger tires/wheels. We plan to pull out there a ways, set camp, and then meander in the Jeep. The trailer isn't overly "ruggedized", but my wife loves it, and that makes me happy. Just put a...
