I'll be there this month on May 16th. Look forward to seeing everyone.

It's rare that I camp anywhere with cell service. HAM radio and more recently GMRS are the tools I use to communicate. Starlink would give me an opportunity to work remotely from the wilderness, but I haven't found large monitors that travel well off road to work with all of the spreadsheets I...

This feels like the right place to start gathering and sharing information for my build. When I built out my Jeep Scrambler, I guessed at a lot of things when it came to what things weighed and ended up with a pretty heavy beast. I'm happy with how that works off road, but driving it on a...

Sometimes small shops are the best way to go. Thanks!

I've just looked them all up on Google and they are all relatively convenient to get to. I'll put RPM Garage in Monrovia , Miyaki Motorsports Inc. in El Monte and Jimahajer Garage in La Habra on my shortlist of places to talk to. August/September would be about right for me anyway. I'm...

Let's set the stage for what I have and what I'm looking for. I'm near the Pasadena area. I have a shop in Montclair that I use for custom work on my 1985 Jeep Scrambler and I am happy with them for any work on the Jeep. It's more of a rock crawler than an overland vehicle in that it's a lot...

Hi Kevin, Welcome to Overland Bound! That's a good looking Outback! Even though my primary adventure vehicle is an old Jeep, I also have a Subaru Crosstrek. It's great for our slightly less aggressive trips to nowhere. :sunglasses: Enjoy! Christian

I'm definitely up for helping with 4N16 when we are ready for a group event when COVID-19 guidelines can be properly met. I don't think I've ever driven that route. I've spent a lot of time on 3N16, but I think that anyone who's been to Big Bear has. It looks like 4N16 connects to the old Coxey...

That's fantastic! I like setting out with a loose plan to discover things while still having some bail out points in case the discovery process is taking longer than the overall time we have. It's not unusual for us to make it part way across a route and then come back to finish it on another...

I'm new here and just read this. Sounds like a good time! The Mojave Road is on my list, but I need to do a couple more shake down runs to make sure everything it working as it should and that I can trust it. I'm thinking of heading out to Calico this weekend. How was the Mojave Road? Christian

New member in Altadena, CA!

Getting ready to go out to the Calico Mountains for a little overlanding that may include mine exploration!

I'm new to the forum and as I look around and see replies to my introduction, I thought I'd suggest that it might be nice to see replies to a comment in a "tree" as "nested replies." I couldn't find a way to do this with settings or preferences. I see this done on other forums (vBulletin has...

Hey Jon, Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll look into joining the net sometime. Christian

Hi Kent, Thanks for the warm welcome! Christian

Hi Everybody! My name is Christian from Altadena CA. I'm always looking to make new friends amongst a group of like minded people and found out about this forum through the YouTube channel. Now for my fellow gear heads in the group (with pics!)... The primary vehicle of choice for my wife...
