    Hello from the Great Lakes area

    Where in the UK? I ask as, when I was a child, we live in Dundee as my father was in the US Navy but stationed at RAF Edzall.

    Hello from the Great Lakes area

    Hello from the Great Lakes area

    Kane Creek has gotten much, much worse since I ran it 5 years ago. Back then I just had a 2" spacer and shackle lift and, with the weight I was carrying, I was at stock height. Had skids and sliders, but the stock bumpers (which took damage). Now, with 4" of lift and lockers front and rear...

    Hello from the Great Lakes area

    That's getting at part of my concern. I might end up limiting myself on the trails I can do, but I'm already self-selecting against those harder trails anyway (I've done Kane Creek, Hell's Revenge, Steel Bender, etc).

    Hello from the Great Lakes area

    Hello all - Ron here. A Buckeye currently living in MI (but not from here) and one who's done an okay amount of camping. Lately, most of it's been in KOAs, but I have managed to camp off the grid. Current set up: 2007 Nissan Xterra (lifted, armored, locked front and rear, etc) M416 trailer...
