It's been awhile since we have written anything because of all that is happening lately. Here is a link to our latest little project. I hope you all like!
Welcome to us!
Well, I am working on buying a new sylvan sport go trailer for us to take our gear with us and go camping with. Also, since we are getting a bunch of cashback with the purchase of the camper, we are buying my KLR 650 I bought brand new back off the guy I sold it too 7 years ago. I can't wait...
We are getting ready to create some content for our blog this weekend. Here is a little sneak peek. The family ranger crew is getting some much needed love, including tires, lift, lights and more. Follow along to see us rebuild the ranger!
And our rigs are joining in with the goodies...
Ok, I am setting up my suspension like my last rig. It works really well for us. I am just wondering now aobut installing airlift 1000 plus either sumo or timbren bumpstops. I think the sumos would be a better choice for us, the timbrens are more for weight than "bumpstopping".

Here is my samsung tablet for nav/overlanding information. I am using canada topo app right here and my radar weather radar. Very cool!
The weather radar pink lines are wind direction and intensity. As you can see it was blowing a gale that day. You can also see the yellow I was in, and...
Who carrys a firearm with you for protection while camping? I have not in the past, however, bear activity seems to be increasing around the areas I camp in the past little while.
Well, the ole patriot is getting some miles on her now. So my wife and I are going to give it a little suspension refresh. We are adding Bilstien struts and shocks, new moog springs, energy suspenison bumpstops and bushings where I can replace, new moog dog bones and the daystar 1.5" lift...
I have a Bluetooth gps module from eBay. I tried it out with my dell computer and maps pro. It's a killer combinations. I may move to a surface go based platform.
Anyone here signed up for a new rivian vehicle? I think that they are what the Tesla SUV/truck should have been. I am loving electric vehicles, and it's only a matter of time before they become widely used around the world.
I am selling my LePan mini tablet. I used this for 2 years as my main navigation platform with great results. It has an SD card slot so you can add much needed storage for mapping, has a gps unit built in, plus 3 way compass ( my new samsung is lacking that and I miss it), has a great...
I am selling my LePan mini tablet in like new condition, with box and some extras like a folding case. This this works great in the backcountry. It has a GPS chip built in, a great bright screen, and an sd card slot to hold all your mapping and music. I am only selling this as I wanted to...
Ok,
I have been bouncing around in my head the idea of going 35s on annie. Now, I know annie has 3.21 gears in her. I had 3.73s on my 2011 with the 3.8 motor, and pulled around 33's perfectly fine. I now have an extra 70hp or something? i know the gearing is lower, but the HP should...
We have been noticing an odd noise when your driving lately. It's hard to describe but it is an intermitant whrrring noise. that comes and goes. Sometimes with brakes. not a rumble but ------ ------- ----- ------ ------ like that pattern. I am thinking either wheel bearing or cv joint...
I know there are lots of american based ipad apps for our use, how about some recommendations on the Canadian app situation. I have topo canada on it now, but thats it.
Just picked up a 2014 unlimited sport in anvil. Happy to be back in the mix again. Next up is a phone call to teraflex to get some much needed upgrades! stay tuned for photos and updates.
Hey people,
I want to see peoples Oddball rigs. Things that can but usually are not associated with overlanding rigs. stuff like a kia Borrego, chevy trailblazer, a Toyota highlander and stuff like that. The more modded the better. The overland sites are RIPE with JK's, land rovers...
I am getting a newer rig in the next year or so, I am wondering what would ride better on rough higher speed roads and trails. The bison with those cool shocks or a wrangler unlimited with falcons? I mainly want smooth high speed rough roads and trails performance for my family. High speeds...
well, we needed a new ride to complement our little Jeep. We were almost signing for a new kia niro, however, they removed white from the base level options and jacked the price 1500. In order to get white we would have to pay almost 5g more after all was said and done. So, plan b went...
