    JLU Gobi rack install

    Not sure if they will do the work or not but Crawlur Offroad in Indio has good reviews. I've spoken to them a few times about getting some work done on my 2019 JLUR. They do custom work and installs so I'm guessing you will have some luck. By the way, I ordered a Gobi stealth rack for my jeep...

    Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton trip planning

    Great spots to visit. Make sure you take the weather seriously. The Going to the Sun road in Glacier is usually closed because of snow till June or early July. It’s the main East West road through the park and as busy as it is you really don’t want to miss it.

    Central/South Utah and North AZ suggestions/route ideas...

    Sounds like a really great trip. You have a lot of great choices depending on which way you want to go. Here are a few thoughts: - I70 N of Moab to I15 is a beautiful stretch on interstate with fantastic vistas and views - If you want to head N towards WY in UT the area around Flaming Gorge and...

    Recovery gear

    I would definitely carry a shovel and recovery boards. I’ve had to use them both on several occasions. I also carry a good tow strap. Used it a few times to help out other stuck vehicles without needing to use a winch. last item which may sound odd is extra fuel. I have run across three other...

    Solar Panels

    I’m using a rock pals 100w foldable screen that I plug into a 500amp Goal Zero. I throw it over the front window or roof rack at camp. It does a good job of powering my fridge, iPad, phone, etc. The only issue I’ve had is that on really warm summer nights 80 degrees + the fridge will drain the...

    Short week trip now CA forests are closed?

    Expedition Portal did an article about a Northern Arizona Traverse that goes from Dewey-Humboldt to the Grand Canyon. I think it was about 190 miles long. You would have to check the weather since a lot of that area is at elevation where snow can be an issue. If you like long epic trails, you...

    Mojave or Death Valley?

    The Mojave is much closer to Joshua Tree than Death Valley. Both are beautiful. It would really help to know where you are driving back to when you finish your trip. The Mojave Road is a fantastic two day trip that you could start near Barstow, CA and finish in Bullhead City, AZ not far from...

    Looking for suspension advice for a 2019 Jeep Rubicon

    I don't normally have the car loaded up, but I am not planning to take out the drawer system or fridge slide. That's almost 200lbs even without the fridge. I have never heard of "poly air bags". Sounds like an interesting option. Thank you.

    Looking for suspension advice for a 2019 Jeep Rubicon

    I have been slowly building out my 2019 Jeep Rubicon for multi-day overlanding trips. Have the stock Rubicon suspension and 33" KO2's. Love longer routes like the Mojave Trail and the Rimrocker Trail. Nothing really difficult. Easy to moderate long trails. I installed a drawer system and...

    395 Overland 5 Day Trip

    I did not get out to Coyote Flats. I really wanted to and didn't have the time. Sorry I don't have more information for you.

    395 Overland 5 Day Trip

    Didn't forget about you. There were a few RV parks in the area. When I was there it looked like both Mammoth and Bishop had available space at the RV parks. Mammoth was much more crowded than I was expecting. The weather was great on my visit (maybe a little on the warm side). As an out of the...

    395 Overland 5 Day Trip

    The weather should be great then. I don't know of anywhere with a shower in the remote campgrounds. Lone Pine, Bishop and Mammoth are all easy to get to. I'll be up in Bishop and Mammoth later this week. I'll ask when I'm up there and see if any locals have recommendations for you. If not, you...

    395 Overland 5 Day Trip

    When are you going? I’ve been trying to go up to coyote flats which i have heard is fantastic. Just keep an eye on the weather. You climb to pretty high elevation fast in that area and snow can be an issue a lot of the year.

    Sleeping Bag and Pads

    I had the same problem for years and kept sliding off my sleeping pad. I switched to a Zenbivy sleep system. Expensive but great. The bottom sheet is sort of like a fitted sheet that wraps around the sleeping pad. I haven't had any issues with it moving. If you like what you have, maybe you can...
