Sounds like I need to finally put it on the calendar!

That sounds like an amazing trip! Yellowstone is a great one to put on the list!

That was a great article. I've considered solar on an RV renovation I'm doing and this just sealed the deal. Thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to put this here so it's on everyone's radar! https://www.overlandbound.com/event/rocky-mountain-region-july-meet-up-alexander-lake-high-uintahs-utah/

Thanks my friend! Its in a sweet spot between stock and modified and I love it!

I got lucky, I paid $1000 for the Cherokee, most expensive thing on it is wheels and tires, about $1500 for KO2's on some cheap steelies. Overall I'm probably $4k to $5k for the whole thing.

I consider my rig "budget" because I haven't got a name brand lift or any aftermarket bumpers/armor... YET... Most of the goodies I've added are from Amazon, 4Wheel Parts, Autozone and some army surplus gadgets. Nothing has given me any major issues, and anything that has, there's usually a...

It's tough to beat the High Uintas in July, I look forward to this trip!

That looks like an awesome trek!

The last thing I bought for the rig was wheel hubs and extended brake lines, but after my last trip it looks like I'll buying control arms, upper and lower! The front end is ready for it.

I just got back from an awesome trip to Southern Utah chasing turkeys, it made me want to jump right in to planning the next one! The rig ran great the whole trip, I put about 800 miles on it without a hiccup, but the front end needs some bushing love, possibly upgraded CA's... Mr. Wobbly...

Here's the next project for the fat pig... along with re-doing the electrical setup for all my accessories, but it will all go hand-in-hand. The far left slide will be compartment/ slide-out table combined. The middle and the right side will be regular drawers, with placement for my dual...

I look forward to seeing what you build up!
