It's hard to see in the picture, but the jeep was braced with the wheel wedged tight under the axle with another bottle jack next to it, brake set and wheels chocked. We actually tested the stability extensively and measured for the spring droop before performing the fix. In addition the fully...

I tend to keep my old rigs... 1968 Bronco, 1984 CJ7 and 2022 XR Rubicon.

HI David, Last time I was there was 30 years ago:) I'm trying to get a couple of other guys to go as well. I'll keep you posted!!

HI David, I'm up in the San Francisco Bay Area and heading to San Clemente to meet up with friends on a Surf Trip to Camp Pendleton (San Clemente) on April 3rd. I was actually thinking I might leave a few days earlier and go check out Anza Borrego first. I'll keep you posted if I can pull...

Depending on the time of year. Baja for an epic surf trip to Scorpion Bay. Or Moab, Utah for the mountain biking and jeep trails.

Haha... Yes... To Harsh only because it is way to true!! I've personally bought a lot of stuff over the years that seemed like a good idea but ended worthless and barely surviving one trip.

o The CJ is mixture of my original 85 my wife and I bought new when we got married and an 84. The bronco is all 68 and I've owned it for 12 years. If you're ever in California and looking for someone to show you some trails... look me up! We've got a lot of great trails nearby and great...

Of sorry about that... THE LCD is on the heater itself and seem to hold up to the weather just fine. The wireless remote is up in the tent with me. I used the remote to turn the heater on and off.... worked great. Full disclosure... I never sleep in a tent with the heater on. I only turn...

I've been "Overlanding" long before it was called "Overlanding". We used to call it "Camping", "Offroading", "Jeeping" or whatever. My wife and I were broke most of our early years of raising our daughters as we were building our business, and the outdoor experience made us amazingly rich...

Since my jeep as two batteries, I wired a simple quick disconnect wire set dedicated for the heater with a long lead. No issues at all.

Just got back from the eastern sierras. This set up worked amazing.

Yes... The clear coat had already failed on all four of the tents when we purchased the trailers brand new and four new ones are on order with the factory. Good advice on keeping them waxed! Thanks!!

Okay... call me crazy.. But my business partner and I just purchase a small fleet of Tribe Basecamp trailers. Our goal is to do as many trips over the coming months as we get to know these units, share them with our friends and then rent them out to responsible overlanders later this year...

I love the new Bronco but I’m a fan of older stuff too. I purchased this 10 years ago for 14k, put another 10 into a paint job and interior. Came with a 5.0 v8 with granny low 4spd, and a 4.86:1 transfercase and Detroit truetracs. I call it the ”original Sasquatch Package”. Doesn’t have...
