Back at work... planning the next radventure!

I’m Official! OLB Badge is mounted.

It's lifted. The process wasn't fun... but it's done. I measured a 4" net increase in ride height with the tires and the springs. I went with OME 2.5" suspension lift using Medium Duty springs so I could haul more beer back from Colorado. I had to take the front springs and struts to a shop...

Last weekend, I made some mounting brackets for the traction boards. I used adjustable clevis pins. Hitch pins will keep everything tight and I have a bike lock to deter an honest thief. They got hit with some bedliner spray too after their photo shoot. Spare tire is too fat to fit in the...

The first thing I did was PlastiDip the badges to make it look “cool”. PlastiDip and dead bugs don’t mix and we have several bug seasons along the shores of Lake Erie. That’s all I care to say about that. Step 2 was the roof rack. I used a cheap-o Hotel Foxtrot mig welder, an angle grinder, and...

Jeep Wahoo: 2016 Grand Cherokee Laredo I stumbled upon Jeep Wahoo by accident. Truck Norris, our gas guzzling 2013 XTerra, was a little rough to drive from the flat lands of North Eastern Ohio to our vacation destinations in the mountains. We'd made several, annual road trips out west in the...

Gotcha. I hinged between an Android tablet and iPad (iPhone user). My tablet can track GPS offline and the iPad in my price range did not.

I end up snapping pictures of the tablet screen with my phone while looking at the desktop for reference and trying to match everything up on the tablet. It's a goofy process... but I still love the app. Worth the price of admission if you ask me.

Hey all, I'll be bombing down I80 headed toward Denver from Cleveland, OH in a couple weeks. The plan is to pick up my brother in Denver on the way to Utah. We're going to take Mosquito and Pearl Pass before jumping back on pavement to Gateway, CO. I see trails on satellite that spit me...

I was down there last October. I didn't see too much dispersed camping. We ended up staying at the Mammoth Campground (which was fine enough with good tree cover). There are a couple of fun dirt roads to bomb around on within the park that pass a few old (1800's) cemeteries. Houchin Ferry and...

A little bit of both. I have downloaded several maps through the app... I never see currently stored maps when I go to create a new one though. I'm using the Android App on a Samsung Galaxy A 8" (2015) if that has anything to do with it. I recently downloaded quite a bit of Colorado from...

@trailspinTV did a pretty cool Vlog on YouTube regarding the TAT. I know they skipped around a little, but I'm sure they have plenty of pointers to share. I binged the entire series over a 6 day span a couple weeks ago. Also FWIW... Gaia GPS on a tablet with area maps preloaded is the way to...

Consolidate systems. I have a WK2 Grand Cherokee with the visibility of a middle ages war helmet. GPS is out of the rig now that I have Gaia app on the tablet. I load it in advance (or using WiFi on the road) and it goes on a Ram Mount near the middle of the dash. IPhone goes in the center...

In the video, I saw you highlighting several sections at a time along a route for download... I can't seem to figure out that option. Is it only available with a premium account?

No kidding! I lived in Amherst until 2008. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it time to leave yet?

Hey there, I'm from Cleveland, OH and am a life long Road- Trip junkie. Over the past few years, that interest has shifted more toward incorporating off road travel in my routes as I search for less congested areas. I pilot a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with a 2.5" OME lift, 265/70 R17...
