    Let them eat SPAM!

    The Senator Highway begins in Prescott and extends southward, passing through areas like Crown King and Bumble Bee, before connecting to Interstate 17 near Cordes Junction. It's approximately 38 miles in length and is primarily a dirt road. Many will tell you it is a hardcore trail, but I think...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    If you get back to Arizona, check out Prescott. You can run from there down to Phoenix over the top on nothing but dirt. Another good scenic drive is the Mogolon Rim.

    Gone to way too many funerals in the last couple of years. I keep getting things fixed and keep on plugging along. I used to think 73 was old, guess what...I was right.

    K02 tire failure

    Personally, I run about 28psi in my 35x12.5x15s. 38psi sounds a bit high.

    Planning my longest trip yet. Colorado to Canada then Mexico and back to Colorado

    If you are up that far in Montana, it would be a shame to not visit Glacier National Park.

    Electric powered overland vehicle

    Wrong. It takes more energy to move a heavier vehicle, no matter the vehicle type. You get some portion of that back on a long downhill, but going over rocks and boulders, regen doesn't have time to kick in.

    I have been with Farmers for 40 years. They wrote me a $25,000 stated value for vehicle add ons for a VERY reasonable amount.

    Trying to make overlanding more enjoyable for a family of 4

    My trailer build was for my city girl wife who refuses to sleep on the ground anymore. Now she complains about the fan noise on the heater when it is 80 inside and -20 outside. Go figure?

    How much to spend on a Overlander?

    There are parallels in almost any endeavor. I come from a rock crawling background. We have a saying, chrome don't get you home. You see people spend $60k on a vehicle and they strut around saying how good of a driver they are since they have all the fancy toys. In the 60's, being on ski...
