    Storage boxes for Cargo Racks

    I used them on 2 separate 6-week trips, and they have a lot of pros and a few cons. Pros are they add a ton of storage to a full size roof rack and look cool AF. Cons include they are easy to break if they fall for ANY reason (and they will fall), and they aren’t fully sealed which means you get...

    St. Louis meetup?

    I might be in. I think the Jeep would make it 2.5 hours.

    Are any of you familiar with WMAs (Wildlife Management Areas)?

    Following! There were times we were near a WMA and would have liked to camp there instead of traveling further for a NF. Didn't even know if we could, or if we needed some sort of pass or license.

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    Thank you everyone who tuned in! Sorry I haven’t been posting regular updates here but we noticed we weren’t getting much traffic and every second with LTE is precious in the backcountry. We maintained near-daily video uploads the entire trip and the finale (day 34) will be up tonight or...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    4/29/18 TAT Trip Day 1 - We woke up at a rest area just outside of Columbia NC, after getting around 2 hours of sleep in the front seats of the Jeep. We drove into the night from Newburgh NY to cover ground and get some groceries at Food Lion before heading down to the first ferry ride from Cape...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    4/28/18 TAT Trip T Minus 1 Day - We gave the rig a thorough wash after our late night Offroad trip, and started packing up. I had to drop my wife off at the airport and we said our teary eyed goodbyes. Hit the road from Newburgh NY and started making our way toward Cape Hatteras NC! We drove...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    4/27/18 - TAT Trip T Minus 2 days: We added at least 5 HP to the rig by getting our graphics installed, so we can spend a little less time explaining why we're so loaded up and where to find us online. Did a little last-minute shopping at Dick's and then we hit a secret location in Beacon NY to...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    This is useful insight and exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I am using KevinGPS's routes and sticking to the "easy" choices and diverting where necessary. I have only planned up to Monticello, UT where we'll make the decision to head down to Expo West, or use the extra time to...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    Only 11 days left until the start of the Trans America Trail. This is so CRAZY! Months of planning and the date is sneaking up on me. Just added the rear bumper and tire carrier a few days ago, and the quick fists for the axe and shovel last night. This has been so much fun to build, and it's...

    What happened to all the true adventurers?

    "Overlanding" is becoming commercialized, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. You can keep your eyes on the (off)road and enjoy yourself, or you can get worked up because a 23 year old has more expensive equipment than you. If the author of that article is upset that these "noobs" are...

    Overlanding the northeast/new england

    I did it in my stock Jeep JKU with 32" tires, and didn't air down. This was pretty much my first time off-roading, and while it gets hairy in some sections, your vehicle is more than capable of making it up. Again, this is highly illegal and you run the chance of getting in some serious trouble...

    trailspinTV's 6 Weeks on the TAT

    I keep hearing that "95% of the TAT can be done in a 4x4" so I'm guessing CO is where things get tricky. I'm going to have to do the same research myself, but if you've already come up with something, that would be incredibly helpful as we're already pretty swamped in planning the rest of it...
