Neil, thanks for hosting this, Michelle and I look forward to seeing you there!

Are you going to to be camping at the Northwest Overland Expo and interested in camping with other Overland Bound Members? We are hosting a meetup for those interested in a group camp. View Rally Point

Johnathan, Welcome to Overland Bound! Awesome looking Gladiator, you have been busy getting it outfitted. Glad you enjoyed the WABDR, too bad about missing out on the 6th section, its one of my favorite sections, but defiantly good choice to bail as you are a lot farther from services at...

Nice looking drawing Brian, a lot of thought went into that:)

Kristian, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State. Thanks for posting pics of your rig out in the wild, nice setup. presence of diesel heater indicating year round travel and exploring. Seems like a very long duct up to the tent though, lots of heat lost on the way up?

Graham, Warm welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State!

Chris, We do not get down to NW Oregon enough, but there is a good network of forest service roads on the west side of Mt Hood, FS Mainline road takes of North from Hwy 26 at the little town of Welches. you can follow that up onto Lolo Pass (Not to be confused with the Lolo Pass over in...

I have a 2013 mega cab and love it. Ours is the mega cab dually. I love the amount of space inside, the dually portion I can do without, use to haul heavy equipment frequently, but no longer, and now the dually just makes it huge .. lol Defiantly not our main overland vehicle, but it...

That sucks, We have a 2012 and it's been a great truck for the most part, it is pre-def though. only problems we have had has been the turbo actuator (common failure) and replaced with a aftermarket one from City Diesel and now performs better than new. The other issue was a bricked ECM...

We also have the 50 qt ARB and love it. seems to be a really good size for the JK and is very good on power consumption. We originally wanted a dual zone, but the JK is limited on space and we truly have not missed the freezer. We keep the fridge on the cold side, and if you drop a ziplock...

I have had a HAM license for more years than I care to count..lol Which radio type also depends a lot on where you are in the country. In the NW I do not run across many overlanding/off road folks using HAM, only a couple of others in my corner of Washington use it when we post a rally...

Perhaps we should stick with Overlanding analogies - i.e. you suggest Mexican food, and then the rest of us in attendance will discuss if that should be prepared in advance at home or cooked from freshly grown beans and rice at the campsite, then of course we have to decide if the meat of...

Depends on what you are wanting the coms for, long distance, car to car on a group trip, or car to spotter. HAM radio gives the most options, but involves a test. GMRS is a great choice with just a mail in license application, CB is going the way of the dodo, and not many use it anymore...

We travel solo far more often than not, primarily as we have not run into others that march to a similar enough drum. Currently we still work full time jobs, and have limited time for long distance travel, so when we go, we want to explore and move constantly to see new things. I can not...

Thats a good one! We get caught in that trap when travelling long distance, so easy to swing in and grab a burger. When we actually manage to plan ahead and bring fixings for sandwiches and such we have found it really does not take any more time as Michelle can whip up lunch while I fuel and...
