Traded in the Sherpa (2018 JKU) on Smokey Bear (2020 JLUR) I e only had it a month, but the build is coming along nicely. Mopar 2.0 lift (I netted 3.4 inches of true, measured lift) w/ Fox shocks AEV Pintlers (17’s) wrapped with 37’ Pats Fabtech internal cargo rack (LED mounted on bottom)...

Hey gang! I traded in my beloved Jeep JKU the other week for a new JLU Rubicon, and while in the process of swapping over my O.B. emblems, I noticed my member # was no longer legible. I jumped on the O.B. store to order some new ones, when I noticed the Challenge Coins....which are beautifully...

Well, I carry an axe because... "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and I work all day.." :)

Not really, to be honest. My four door gets a little snug at times. Really, Moonlight is a SXS or 2 door paradise, and us 4 door Jeepers push the limits as it's tight trails with a ton of trees.

Hey gang, Well, the family tent has needed replacing for a few years, but money (lack thereof) has kept me from getting the Gazelle T-4 or T-4 Plus I’ve wanted. The stars aligned and it was time to buy, and lo and behold- Gazelle brought out their newest: T-8! It’s basically a T-4 Plus but...

Lifelong Jeeper here. I also sell Jeeps for a living. I absolutely welcome the Bronco as a competitor! I genuinely feel that they have taken our JKU/JLU and stolen most of their design cues, but that's the name of the game in competition I suppose. Jeep definitely has something no other OEM...

We often see shots on here of epic vistas in Utah, California, etc..but what about those of us in the "fly-over" states? I'm in Missouri, and the Ozark Mountains are in my backyard. We have GORGEOUS rivers, lakes, creeks, National Forest land and some amazing trails. I had a fantastic day in the...

While not Overlanding, I did have a fantastic Sunday of wheeling at Moonlight Offroad Park in Sullivan, MO. My local Jeep club (MWJT) puts on an event twice a year called Jeeping 101, and I am one of the trail guides. I absolutely LOVE help[ing people get into the world of off-roading, whether...

The majority of lights in my kit are LED at this point, but I still pack my trusty white gas Coleman my dad gave me as a birthday present many years ago. When woods camping, I will often string it up a large tree and am always amazed at how well it broadcasts light. Yes, LED's are easier, and...

Well, six months of living with the ARB and I must admit- it is, hands down, my most favorite modification on the Jeep. I was truly worried about running this daily without a dual battery set-up, and I couldn't have been any more wrong. The digital thermostat and auto shut off feature has been...

Not a huge haul, but I recently got back into my house after a few years (divorce nonsense) and found a couple bits for a Jeep 4.0 liter. I have two new oil filters and a new thermostat. Can't remember if these were for my 1993 YJ, or my XJ. Either way- they'll work for either. Flip me a few...

Percolator + old Svea 123 mountain stove + Highlander Grog from Kaldi's Coffee + my big Yeti tumbler = happy me.

Walmart, Dicks Spirting Goods, outdoor shops, etc. it’s pretty easily found here in the Midwest

Thought I’d share here and see if there are any other fans of old Colemans. Years back, my mother gave me my Grandfather’s old twin burner Coleman stove from 1954-ish. It was in pretty bad shape, and needed some TLC. After some much needed maintenance (new filler cap and a rebuilt of the pump...

I really need some help, and I’m hoping someone who’s upgraded their steering recently might still have some OEM bits laying about.. Last week I slid down a rather slick and muddy v-notch, sending my drivers tire into the side of the notch at full lock. Long story short- I apparently bent my...

Hi gang, my cousin is unfortunately in very poor health, and I am planning a trip from St Louis to Hendersonville NC to visit with him in the hospital. While visiting family, I’ll be in a hotel. Beyond that, I’d like to spend a few nights in the nearby National Forests, doing dispersed camping...

My local Jeep club holds an annual weekend event called, “Jeepstock” at SMORR. We had 384 in attendance with 179 Jeeps. Anyway, last night we had a huge raffle, and guess who won an ARB 35L Series II fridge/freezer?!?! This guy!! I am beyond excited!

I’ll be at SMORR for the Jeepstock event this weekend!

I finally bit the bullet and did the Gaia Pro subscription on an older IPad 4th gen with cellular I had lying about. Just glad The is so much support with the OB crowd for the undoubtedly large amount of questions I will have!

Not an FJ, but I really really really want 67 Designs mounts on my Jeep, but alas- the wallet wont allow. I’m doing a one-off RAM ball into a RAM mount for my phone and a RAM tablet mount for running Gaia on my IPad.
