Add me to the group of people going in July! Not sure I’ll be able to camp because I’ll be full blown back into residency but hoping to go if I can even if just for a day.
New rig is currently being shipped so I’ll also be picking brains about things the jeep owners love on their setup next...
Sorry to miss everyone tonight! Slipped my mind with work. Buuuuut I was going to ask if anyone has been to overland expo or planning to go this year! I wanted to ask if worth it tonight but alas I’m not there! Hope you have a good time
Hi! PDXer here. Which direction are you planning on coming up? Also you’ll find pretty variable weather depending on how you come up. We’re already getting snow in the mountain areas. But one thing for sure expect all the rain in Portland and surrounding areas
Thanks. It was a sad decision. Was looking forward to a big build but really didn’t make sense for me at the moment. (Don’t really have time with my job) 35s, a mopar lift, beadlocks and more fun ordered and on the way!
1) Thanks for everyone’s input. So helpful. Gave me a lot to think about and ponder
2) The end of the saga: sold the JK and ordered a rubicon. Will certainly be building this bad boy up though once it arrives…
Of course! There were some this sucks moments (ie having to stack every two seconds during a mile stretch; hopefully it’s still there and you can ride right on down!) but overall so so so worth it. Glad we didn’t pull the trigger. We ran into people who bailed but going straight through was...
Haha come one. Drop some tears for me
JK it was more the “where are we going to camp for 4 days” aspect. I could drive around that area all day and not get bored
The trails are starting to not be packed. You can run a trail and maybe see one other person. I saw more bikes on trails than vehicles. With the exception of hell’s revenge which was thriving with UTVs
If you decide to get off the grid I’m more than happy to share my obsessive check lists...
Oh man snow so early! We went a week or so ago. Weather was definitely making a turn then. It was so windy I wondered how anyone in those bike groups was happy to be in a ground tent
Hello!
So the road was pretty decent for the first half. Whitecrack to Candlestick was pretty beat up when we went. Lots of washouts. Saw some well built out rigs scrape and struggle in some spots. Even saw one break a control arm. But took it slow and smart and no issues. They laid down...
Oh nice! Glad you like the RE. It's certainly on my mind given how my friend swears by them. And if I'm going to switch up my build out plans it may be a good place to start! I may just have to copy your build haha
sounds like I'll get the opportunity for two build outs. I don't mind dropping money into the Sahara but this is definitely something to think about. After everyone's input/comments I'll probably just do lift that requires the least amount of additional modifications. I can always keep the...
I love the look of your jeep. Clearly capable without being overly aggressive looking. Thank you for sharing the details. I'm beginning to think I need to just pull the plug on lockers, etc in addition to the lift. I don't want to be held back and if I want to crawl rocks I'll stick to UTVs haha
