Sorry, I've not logged on in a while! They closed it due to vandalism. A group pushed an oil derrick off the cliff.

A few roof top tents have started going on sale. The brands I've seen so far are Dobinsons, Smittybilt, and Yakima. I them listed on my website already, but there will probably be more to come.

He's not allowed to block it, but he'll still be a pain in the butt. I started this after following him for a couple of minutes.

Side by sides are not allowed. These are all county roads. That being said, you will see side by sides out on the roads! Half of us have the Offroad Boar recovery boards. Maxtrax appear to be better, but not $100 better! We ran it this weekend with a Dodge RAM 1500 and a Hummer H2. There...

Welcome! I've seen you out a couple of times on the ECO OHV rides. I'd like to get an Overland Bound group set up for the Trailkeeper's cleanup in May with some of us in the area!

Keep it anyway if it's not too much money! A lot of people are moving towards ham radio in their rigs (CB is still the standard) and you can listen without having to get a license. The test to get you license is $15, and not too difficult. You get much better range and clarity from ham radio...

You need a license to use ham radios. I just got my license and went with a $24 handheld that I've hooked up to an external antenna. Most people use CB though. Handheld ham and CB aren't much good inside a vehicle. I recommend a cheap CB unit, coupled with a good antenna and heavy duty...

I just ordered my RAM Mounts for my tablet! I'm still looking for ways to mount the mics for my radios. Probably just going to drill/screw some into the dash, even though I would rather not.

Yeah Maxtrax are great. I always thought they were a waste of money until I saw them in action last weekend. They were the only reason we were able to get up one of the hills we went up! I'm ordering a cheaper version from Offroad Boar. Looking at your rig you will be absolutely fine. You could...

If you're just doing the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway you'll be fine with what you have. Plenty of people do it with open differentials and stock-height JK(U)s. There are some tight sections, but nothing a full sized truck can't do. The two rocks you mentioned us squeezing through aren't...

There are some great channels on here. I enjoy seeing the content, getting ideas for places to go and things to do, and looking to see how I can improve my own videos/channel: www.youtube.com/c/RevereOverland

Thanks! Spaas Creek (north end of the loop) has the best camping spots. There are a bunch of clearings along the creek and just off the trail. Walker Creek, just off Old Fincastle, has a disused railroad where there is a large clearing just off the embankment too. It's a short distance up the...

I think you're totally right. I've always been comfortable sharing with people on here though, since I assume the kind of person joining Overland Bound is going to be someone who I can trust to take care off road! I recently shared a route on a small Facebook group and one person took my route...

That's exactly what I did recently, except I just put everything in the cooler with a couple of ice packs. It was about 2 degrees F overnight and everything in the cooler was fine, staying just above freezing. All my electronics died though!

Post it here when you're done, I'd like to see it!

Welcome! I'm from Norwich too, and went to the UEA. I moved away though!

We had an accidental meetup this weekend in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Kentucky. @trailspinTV, who I met at an Overland Bound meetup in November, texted me yesterday saying he would be coming to kentucky from Indiana. His buddy, @Burning Man came in with a friend around 4am this morning...

+1 to this. A lot of people hate on the IFS because they can't pose don't have the flex of a solid axle. It does mean they behave a lot better on the road though. If you get something that has lockers all-round like mine, or a really good brake-lock differential like the newer Toyotas then you...

Eggcellent point. I came here to say eggsactly this. In England (where I was born/grew up) the eggs come unrefrigerated in the stores. I'd imagine that being in a cooler would help protect them from crushing though. Sorry about the rotten puns. I'll see myself out.

I'm lucky enough to work with my wife, so we share a car. We have a 2017 Mazda 6 for daily driving. We/I have the Jeep for overlanding, so if we both need a vehicle I drive the Jeep.
