Everyone will have there own opinion on what's going to be best but I just run a Galaxy tablet with Gaia. I forget what model it is but 10", wifi only with expandable storage. Going with a setup like that you can download the maps of the area you will be going to and view them with no service...

Are these radios still available? I'd be interested if shipping isn't too crazy

How did the snow wheeling go? Was there much up there?

That's another reason I like to run the 285/75R18, you can fit them in factory spare location. Most measure 34.5-34.8" tall x 11.2" wide so the height of most 35's but hits the in between of a 12.5 and skinny 10.5. The draw back to that size is it's not real popular so not all brands make it.

Like all of your trips I'm interested, but not sure I can make it.... Jeep is currently in the garage getting some maintenance and a few upgrades for a trip at the end of January. If I have it put back together enough for your trip I'll let you know.

Thanks for the info, I'll measure my ammo can to see which one would fit best. Really though, for what it's doing the cheapy Amazon one will probably be what I end up with.

Off topic of your trailer, but what little table is that you have your fire pit sitting on? I built an ammo can pit a while back and want to get it off the ground without adding permanent legs, also nice trailer.

That's a good price for a tire in that size, I prefer to run a 285/75R18 on our 3/4 and 1 tons since they are about the same height but a little narrower and seem to fit the stock wheels better. I've never ran Kenda tires, most of our farm pickups are currently running BFG or Yokohama. Have...

I'm won't be able to make it on the run this weekend. Have a bunch of things I need to get done around the house and have some friends coming over in the evening to watch a football game. I'm thinking it's going to be a bit muddy over there so will probably be a good time sliding around. Have...

I'll let you know next week if I think I can make it, maybe have you send me a PIN drop or the location where you're going in. Since I'd be coming from the East trying to save a few road miles to get there.

@Ceg I might try to make this trip if it's still on and you have room. Are you planning to go into the Whiskey Dick area from Kittitas or closer to Vantage? Wouldn't change if I can make it or not but would change which way I drove there. Let me know and I'll see if I can free up that weekend.

Basic is what I did at first, just a board with some legs on it so it was all flat and stuffed crap under. I liked having the flat surface to sleep on and for the dog so for a winter project I spent the time and built the boxes

The carpet is cheap out door stuff from Home Depot, they sell it in precut rolls. I think it's labeled as an outdoor rug. And yes I used MDF which now I'm wishing I would have used something different but I had an extra sheet left over from a different project. The problem I had with the MDF...

Build storage boxes that go in place of the seats and use the existing bolts to anchor them in place. The bolts would still be there if you ever wanted to put seats back in and you would have out of the way storage for things you don't use often but want to keep in the rig, tools, recovery...

Looks good, I agree with you that some rigs just look better with round lights. Light bars are nice and all but seem out of place on older stuff. I originally put a light bar on my WJ but immediately took it off and put some cheap-o Amazon round lights on and it looks much better. I've never...

Powder coating is really nice and durable until you use your rock sliders as rock sliders. It holds up a bit better than paint but will end up scratched off by rocks and can't be touched up easily. Going the route of DIY bedliner like mentioned above is a better option if you think you'll be...

I second the idea of throwing down a harbor freight moving blanket for some added insulation. I use them when camping in a tent or out of my WJ but put a pad on top. For the pad I've really liked the Klymit Static V, they aren't the cheapest but they pack up small and I think they are...

That was a fun trail, had a good time. Not sure I'll be able to make the upcoming backroads trip but let me know if you have any day trip/ trail runs coming up.

Bulletpoint Mounting solutions makes pretty good stuff. I've been buying them the last few years for our farm pickups and they hold up. Took me a while to find a good phone holder that would keep your phone in place on really wash board roads and going into pivots, the ones they have that...

You will probably need to get one of the adapters to switch to the different size balls, Ram, Bulletpoint or amazon should have them. I use a lot of the Bulletpoint mounts and I think they are great, but have run into the same problem with different sized balls and had to adapt to use other...
