Ola folks ,
we would consider ourselves experienced overlanders , but of a different sort. Both my wife and myself are moving off our adventure bikes and into an ol jeep WJ ( were keeping the bikes for that occasional getaway) . we wanted something to pull behind the motor home that would add another aspect to our travel experiences. so here we are! The Jeep currently is in the build process and progressing daily, looking forward to conversing with like minded peeps about future adventures!. we are out of both, Paso Robles CA and Oakhurst CA.
Welcome to Overland Bound Jason.

Hello Dan, welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State, nice to see another way a snorkel earns its keep, I have seen them used for reducing dust intake in the desert, here in the NW they are good for keeping the rivers at bay, apparently in Alaska used to keep the intake above the snow line...lol
