    First mods to rig

    Hey Sergio, I am hardly the expert as I've just recently joined and consider myself a "rookie." It might be true that it doesn't matter what you drive, but it certainly matters what you pack. Depending on tire wear, the first thing I would install are brand new treads. It depends on WHERE you...

    Safety and Security Questions

    Good Morning Overlanders! Can (anyone) help me with a few questions? I joined as a member earlier this January; I have been feverishly upgrading my 2018 Jeep Renegade and I am ready to embark on my very first-ever Overland Experience this May. My goal is to travel across America and live out of...

    Hi David, Just catching up on the post I sent this morning. Minnesota is NOT off the subject at all, and I thank you for contributing. Growing up, I always dreamed of someday visiting the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, and Ely, Minnesota. I could be in Minnesota by September 2022 or possibly early...

    Good Morning Bruce, Thank you for the post. Southwest Colorado....hmm, sounds like the Durango area? I'm headed that way by July. I have a friend out there who has been begging me to get out of Florida for a long time. I didn't realize the temps at night could be in the (teens)...in May? I...

    Good Morning Mike, Those three states are definitely on my list as well. I've never even seen the Mississippi...let alone driven out West before. I am very excited to meet new people and new friends and share experiences with. The whole Overland community is a "movement" and I'm excited to be a...

    Mike, I don't mean to sound skeptical, but are you SURE that I can run a (stock Renegade) thru MOAB? If so....that is so exciting. I've seen videos on YouTube of both MOAB and The Rubicon Trail and you give me hope that my little bug can make it. Do you have any suggestions on amateur radio's...

    Thanks so much for the info, especially about Monterey. Yes, I have a special friend up there and whenever I get out there, I'll probably do the same, get off the road, sleep in a real bed, and enjoy the scenery. She too, lives right on the Ocean. Cannot WAIT to get out there.

    Hey "Old Man", Love the handle! I've never been out west, and the support I'm getting already before I've even hit the road, is incredible. There are good people out there who care for each other and respect each other and respect the great outdoors! Wow....Utah? It's a dream. The only thing I...

    Hi Mike, I probably won't get to California and the West Coast until June. I'd like to start just north of Santa Barbara and stop in Monterey there. I have a friend I'd like to visit in Monterey. From there, I'd like to see as much of the Ocean and hopefully be able to camp along the beach roads...

    Dear Grubworm....nice! Thank you so much for your offer to stay or stop by this spring as well as the information you gave me on travel routes. More specifically, I have between 8-to-12 months to travel and want to see as much of the USA that I can; provided that gas prices stay under $4.00/gal...

    Hi Guys, Brand new to the Overland Bound Community, and still getting myself acclimated to the website. I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade that I am preparing for a cross-country tour of the United States this Spring. (I have NEVER been off-road...EVER). From Florida, I am heading west along I-10 and...

    Attention Renegades!

    Hi Guys, I'm new to the site and a new member. I have a "stock" 2018 Jeep Renegade 4x4 and planning to Overland the United States this Spring. I need help on the proper Lift Kit and would like to replace the wheels. I've looked at Teraflex, ATP, and Rough Country lifts. I don't want to do...
