Well, I'm lucky enough to live up in the NE corner of Oklahoma. So I not only have a great starting point. But an amazing state that has terrain & view changes few others offer. I'd caught a rumor of an overland/off road state loop. But, having little luck in tracking that info back down...

Has anyone here done a border loop trip around their state? Just sticking to the back roads & going trail where possible?

Funny, just caught your reply about the Chevy Love. Those where my go to back in the 80's-90's. I nearly pulled the trigger on a a clean yellow first gen 4x4 that a guy had for sale locally about 6 months ago. The Rocky on the other hand. Well, picked up a 92 about a year ago. Just as I was...

I'm no authority on park rules. But when I was doing that kind of thing the changes for an RV came in with hooking up into the services such as electric & water. But it's been years since I've camped at a park. As for what you wanting. I'd bite the bullet & get a small enclosed trailer with a...

My answer was a Daihatsu Rocky when I lived around Vegas. That thing was a little goat on the sandstone & great on fuel. Also, a very near an anti-electronic rig & that's a plus in my world. Google Image Result for https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/840x560/542000/0/542033.jpg

Ok, so part of my background is over 20 years in the classic motorcycle auctions. I've hauled more kinds of scooters in more ways then most could think was even possible. #1 forget the trailer hitch idea. Those are questionable on full sized RV's that could possibly handle that kinda weight...

So, nothing but respect for those in here with full sized pick-up's & SUV's. But is there an area for FULL sized trucks? I'm looking at starting a build in this direction & wondering if I'm missing a section, or is it simply not an market/interest covered here...

Hello from NE Oklahoma. Truth be told you could drop a pin on Disney Oklahoma & forget the rest of the trip if your looking for areas to freely explore. Here's a vid I posted years ago. Guess it's starting point. But feel free & ask away. Disney has a complex & ever changing trail system a top...

Not sure what kind of info your after. I've spent a fair amount of time there hiking and camping. But as far as going off road I'm not sure they off much of anything aside from a couple of minimum maintenance dirt roads. Robbers Cave is mainly an equestrian state park. With that it is littered...

Thank you, your better off with the ZR2 IMO. Now I'm not saying that I don't love my trailblazer. It's just that the 4wd & over all vehicle technology has grown leaps and bounds since the trailblazer. Hope you have a great day.

I agree with having a full sized forum section. I've been putting a lot of thought into building a FULL sized rig & it would be nice to have a section for us.

Thank you, shes doing good for a 16 year old that's not shy of hitting the trails.

Thank you, I'm rather proud of her being she just turned 16.

Thank you, I couldn't have picked a better quote if asked. I'm a FIRM believer in using the proper tool for the job. If they have made it happen with Toyota pick-up's & jeesp's I doubt these rigs would struggle a whole lot.That is if their driven correctly & taking their time.

When you remove the chains of money and ask me to dream I'm going BIG. My adventure heads south into central America. That's where my small convoy of Man expedition rigs will cross the Darien Gap. From there we send up the LIDAR mapping drones & go exploring Indiana Jones style.

I learned a little trick WAY back in the day & that's cooking under the hood using the heat from the engine. Just wrap up what you want cooked in a few layers of foil & tie it off near the best heat source for what your needs are. Obviously the exhaust manifold is your highest heat source. Then...

To be a good spotter you've gotta be a good driver. Otherwise things get messy real fast. After all If done correctly the spotter is really who's driving. One of the mistakes that I see people doing all the time is putting themselves in harms way. As a spotter you need to be aware of not only...

I live up in the NE corner of Oklahoma about 30 miles south of Joplin MO. About 10 years ago I was running a tow truck & the impound area was in my back yard (7 acres). I didn't smoke in the house so I would go to the impound yard for a smoke/security check. One night a friend and I went out for...

Most run away from the trailblazer because of the weak front drive line. But I've had a couple of them now & as long as you don't force it in a bind it's just fine. For that matter it's FAR more capable than most think. Yah, I LOVE my Rocky! I call it my little mountain goat. I'll post pics of...

Most people shy away from the trailblazer. But she's been treating me just fine
