My family is planning on going as well.

Sorry about that. Is there something specific that was higher than you expected? I'm below Amazon on sale items and have a 10% reward on top of that, although as a small shop I can't compete on everything. Happy to help if there is something specific you're looking for. Cheers!

We''ll be offering a variety of deals now through Christmas. Right now we have some great sales (15-25%) on lighting. We'll also be running some deals on winches and refrigerators, so check back in later. As always, we offer reward points on every purchase, earning an additional 10% off...

Here is a post for the Petroglyph Trail

There are a number of good ones, but we are expecting decent snow next week. Hunter Lake trail is nice if weather permits, but it gets up to some elevation and has a good deal more climb to it. If the snow is concerning, you could head out to see some petroglyphs out near Virginia City, which...

Try this https://amzn.to/2CjilBD, you can zip two together to make a double. I have some military surplus that are very similar and they work great. Being zipped all the way around will make you much more comfortable and the extra warmth will make the wife happy. Happy wife, happy life! As...

A great option is to use a bag liner, which will give you 10-20deg boost. Add the handwarmers that @madcratebuilder suggested and you'll be happy. I was down to 10deg the other night with a 0deg bag and a liner and was perfectly toasty with no active heat.

Cool, I was just wondering as that is much higher than I've ever run. I have 31x10.5 R 15 and run about 30 for road and 15 for slower speed offroad. Never lost a bead and it stays pretty grippy with that extra sidewall flex.

Yeah, but both FJ's and Canyon's (previous posters) are lightweight and probably require 30-35psi for road. I only mention because I have heard recommendations based on tire max psi specs and seen people running crazy high pressures because of that.

Yeah, I had a RE setup on my last rig, but doing a experiment on budget systems to see what the limits are. I'll be be bumping to a 4" lift and 33" tires in the spring prior to a Rubicon run. BTW, two easy upgrades that have been nice is some new LED headlights and interior light package...

Is there a reason you run so high? Same for @Dualsportrider Those high pressures will make the ride very rough and wear out the middle of the tire prematurely. Max pressure on tires is not the right metric, look on the sticker inside of the driver door jamb. Larger tires might even require...

Will do! It's not an everyday thing, but when the weather is nippy and you need to polish of the rum, why not?

Thumbs up on the XJ, I've loved mine. I'm on my second and am also just starting some upgrades on this one. I wanted to try out the Quadratec 3" lift, which at $219 with reasonable shocks is a steal. Install was good, but they left out leaf spring retaining clips and a shock mounting bushing...

I've got two recipes that make life just that much better. First, a Motor Burrito. Concept is to pre-make some burritos and throw them in a safe spot in the engine bay to warm through. Wheel for a few hours and you are ready to eat, no muss, no fuss. This is a great time saver when...

Hey all, Just moved to the Reno from the Bay Area and am really enjoying the wide open space. I'n newer to overlanding, but have always been into cars, Jeeps and camping, so a natural fit. My wife and two young girls have been thrilled to go on short trail rides or multi-day adventures and...
