    Off the grid rally east coast?

    I like the idea of one in the east somewhere for sure! Maybe not the coast, but maybe in the Smokies or elsewhere in the Appalachians?

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Drove off with a pin sitting on the bumper and lost it, so I decided to prevent it from happening again. Made a small stainless tether for a new lock pin.

    Southeast?

    I've seen a few members here in the SE. Would a Southeast section work? Maybe GA/AL/TN/NC/SC/FL? I'm in N. GA, and most of these areas are within my "reasonable distance" for short weekend trips or whatever. I'd love to do some meetups over here.

    A Simple Jeep XJ Overland Build

    Well, since you asked... :sunglasses: When I was searching for a roof rack, I really liked the design of a lot of the steel ones, but I like the idea of having aluminum up there because of weight, mainly. I plan on weighing it down with lots of gear, and I didn't want to spend too much of that...

    Geocaching

    We used to do it a lot. I'd like to get back into it. We even made a couple caches, but they are hard to keep up because people like to steal them. :disrelieved:

    2002 Jeep WJ

    Nice, can't wait to see that lift installed! Your current tires look really new. Will you get new ones when you install the lift?

    A Simple Jeep XJ Overland Build

    OK, so this is a big one. I wanted to get the spare tire out of the cargo area to accommodate more stuff, and because I'd like to build a drawer system back there eventually. So, I began researching rear bumpers/tire carriers, and found many people speaking highly of Custom 4x4 Fabrication, so I...

    2006 Trailblazer

    Man, that thing is rad. I love the look, and it seems like it's a beast on the trails! I love it when people do creative things with unique vehicles. I remember when the Trailblazer came out. I couldn't believe how much power they had from the factory. I had a Camaro at the time, and those...

    A Simple Jeep XJ Overland Build

    Oh man, you made the right decision. Every time I start a new task on this thing I wish I had a newer vehicle. Rusty bolts, old plastic, leaky seals... It is nice not having too much integrated technology to mess with, but that's kind of a drawback as well. And my wife wishes I drove something...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Cool thread! I just changed the oil in record time (about 10 min) before rain started.

    A Simple Jeep XJ Overland Build

    OK, so I went ahead and bought one of those cheap Amazon LED light bars, and it's freaking bright! It's a 31.5" 180W (around 11,000 lumens). I thought it would just bolt to the bumper, but it was too deep, so I made some nasty looking mounts out of aluminum and trimmed the bumper end caps to fit...

    A Simple Jeep XJ Overland Build

    I have always thought the headlights were too dim, so I started looking into upgrades. What popped up again and again was that the combination of the thin gauge wiring and a limited sealed beam made for not-so-bright headlights. So, after reading this article and speaking with Daniel about my...
