    Northern CO trip in July

    Will do! There seems to be a lot of information on trails and the dispersed camping is abundant.

    Northern CO trip in July

    Plans have changed and unfortunately we won't be making the trip to CO this summer. Our trip has been shortened and we will be hitting up the Black Hills in SD instead. Thanks for the tips on CO! Hope to get out there next summer!

    Hello Minnesotans!

    I would be interested in a mid-June meetup.

    Silverado sway while on trail

    I have driven a few more trails in MN since this original question, going a bit faster this time around definitely helped with the side-to-side sway. I have yet to air down, but just purchased a compressor and I'm guessing that will add a lot more comfort to the ride as well. Most recently we...

    Northern CO trip in July

    excellent. I originally had hoped to get the greenlight to head down and do some of the Alpine Loop, but that was vetoed!

    Northern CO trip in July

    I have some experience, but nothing in the mountains. The trails I can find in MN/WI/MI aren't anything too technical. I'm not looking to do any crazy rock climbing. I'd just like to get out and explore in places less traveled. I would definitely be in to meet up while out there!

    Northern CO trip in July

    Hey! We are headed out to CO mid july 2021 for a big family trip. We will be base in Rocky Mountain National Park with inlaws, who are doing some backpacking. Our three year old isn't quite ready for that so I'm looking for other things to do. I'm trying to figure out a loop to drive around the...

    Silverado sway while on trail

    We were on a few trails in the UP and then stopped in the St. Helen area on our way through!

    Silverado sway while on trail

    I am currently on a trip through MI with the family and taking advantage of their ORV routes as much as possible. We are running a Silverado and loaded down pretty well with gear. The trails aren’t too technical, but there are enough dips and bumps in them to make the truck sway back and forth...

    Hello Minnesotans!

    Just got back from rolling around the Spider Lake area. Trails were a little tight and the bugs were definitely out! A few new stripes on the Silverado!

    Awning and room ideas?

    Thanks for confirming my choice! I’m in the Midwest as well and don’t see the spf as an issue. I had the same setup when I lived overseas and loved the awning room. Enough room for a queen sized mattress and our gear!

    How do you carry your recovery boards?

    Are the boards only mounted at the top mounting points?

    Awning and room ideas?

    Thinking about doing the Tuff Stuff 6.5 x 8 (awning comes out 8' and is 6.5' long) awning with the room attachment. This should alleviate the problem I have with other awnings being too long when mounted for me to get my door open. Has anyone used the Tuff Stuff awning before? Any quality...

    Awning and room ideas?

    I just installed my Putco Venture tec rack on my Silverado. Choosing to go with an awning and room for setup instead of the RTT for now. I'm interested in getting the 2000x2500 ARB awning with the room, but am not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. Anyone know if the awning would be tall...

    7 Hour Plane Crash Trail

    This looks like fun. Putting it in the schedule for our trip mid July this year. Sounds like my Silverado may get a couple stripes from it though?

    Hello Minnesotans!

    Hey! New to OLB and looking to do some adventuring this spring. Located in Blaine, so if anyone is planning something not so technical and doesn't mind a newbie tagging along, I'm in!

    South African Potjie Pot

    I love my potjie pot. We have a size 3. My South African friend who introduced me to the potjie was appalled when I made the comment that it was like a dutch oven. The way you layer the food to cook in the pot spreads the flavors out. If you're thinking about getting one, I highly recommend...
