+1 on POR-15 . We've had good success with it on classic car restorations and several members in my local jeep club have had good success with stopping rust using it. No prep needed, but I would knock off any flaking, then just use a foam brush and go to town!

I’d love to make that run two weeks in a row, but on the 17th, I’ll be perpetuating my ethnic stereotype...lol

David, I will definitely let you know. Mine is heavily modified from stock, so I can tell you what worked for me. Have you found jeepcommander.com ? I'm pretty active on there (different user name) but that will give literally TONS of great XK specific info. Pretty much every mod you can...

Does anyone have any info regarding the Charles Hall Ferry at Bullfrog, Utah? Going to be headed there over the next week and was hoping to take the ferry along the way from Mexican Hat to the Burr Trail/Notom-Bullfrog route to Capitol Reef NP. This is the last update from Utah DOT dated April...

I'm leaving for Utah on the 29th. Post up your trip! I'd be very interested in the current "conditions" out there.

Ok, finally getting all the trip prep finished up. The XK goes in Monday to get the bumpers and sides Line-Xed. All gear has been ordered and here or enroute. Since I'll be going a lot of this trip solo, any tips or suggestions? I've got tools and spares ready to go, dry ice set up for the...

Just received my leave request...APPROVED!!! I'll be hitting the road from Richmond Va to Utah Apr 29 and don't have to be back to work until May 19. This is going to be epic. I'm STOKED!!

I'll keep this updated for timing, it'd be great to meet up with some follow OB'ers! Waiting for leave to be approved to make the final plan.

Welcome!

That sounds like a great trip! Maybe we can make a meet up happen.

Yeah, I've heard the nightmarish stories of trying to drive on wet bentonite. Just means a second night of camping! I am trying to spend as much time off pavement as possible. I'm currently building an 06 Jeep Commander specifically for this trip. If this one goes well, I want do Death Valley...

I will be in touch, and let you know the schedule!! That would be great! The plan I had was going in on BLM roads from I-70 camping overnight then catching Temple of the Sun at sunrise. I'd like to do Hartnet Rd and Cathedral Valley Loop, I've seen a few videos of people's trips and it looks...

Sorry for the duplicate post, but I think I posted this in the wrong place originally. Please forgive me, I'm still a newbie! ;) So, I've been planning a trip out to Utah to do some overlanding through Moab and a few of the National Parks. Since I'm cutting through Colorado to get to Moab, I...
