  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I didn't take any pictures, but yesterday I upgraded all four wheels to Powerstop brakes. Big improvement over factory Teves. Then I drove it up to Sparta for the Xfinity Race.

    What are Overland Bound Challenge Coins?

    While I understand the sentiment, these coins aren't free to make or ship. Maybe a list could be put together for a coin donation setup at the store, where members can purchase coins for deployed members. Something like that. We need to keep the costs for members low and voluntary. Thanks...

    Initial "spooling" instructions for new winch, I had no idea!

    The instructions on my SMITTYBILT included this step. I used a tree in my pasture and winched on a medium upgrade. Worked great and I was able to walk in front of the rig and help guide the first 50 feet.

    Yup, I will be viewing in SE Tennessee. The path is supposed to be very close to my oldest daughter's location. Gonna go down and camp out a few days. Maybe find some trails to run.

    Daniel Boone Backcountry byway Labor Day

    WoW!!! I am so bummed that I missed this trip. On the plus side, I am so glad that I didn't slow ya'll down. I have had new problem every day. I have solved each problem as it came up, but some required parts that would not have been available on the trail. I didn't push it like I usually...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It was definitely that. Winch pulled it out of the deep water (about 4' deep) so that I could get the wife close enough to jump start it. Her WJ is entirely stock, no lift, stock tires. Wednesday, I opened up the center console and found that it was still full of water!!! Surprisingly, for...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I paid $450 for mine in May, installed it in June, ran it underwater for the first time last Sunday. Worked great till I ran out of battery (engine was stalled due to waterlogged electronics). Then it blew the little fuse in the control box (which also started out underwater, but was above...

    Daniel Boone Backcountry byway Labor Day

    I did get it on dashcam. I had a toolbox sitting in back, just inside the hatch. When I opened it up to get some tools, it was full of water. Lid opening was about 6-8 inches above the top of my bumper (looks similar to yours). Emptying out everything right now. Still had it packed from the...

    Daniel Boone Backcountry byway Labor Day

    Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. I just got the Jeep running again today, but I still have numerous electrical issues (mainly a CCD bus communication problem) that I will have to figure out. No gauges, no windows, rear wiper runs continuously, audio amp seems kaput. My center...

    Daniel Boone Backcountry byway Labor Day

    I just got back from flooding my WJ in the creek behind my house. I decided to go exploring further downstream than I have ever gone and found a good deep hole that I managed to sink her in. After walking back to the house (soaking wet from falling in the creek) got the wife to come down with...

    Daniel Boone Backcountry byway Labor Day

    Unfortunately, I have only Saturday available. I can join the group Saturday morning at Indian Creek. I can then go the whole day. If that is unacceptable then I wish you well on your journey and will try to catch the arches on another trip. Be well.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I had the same thing happen with the "Smittybilt" sticker that came with my winch. Unfortunately it was not recoverable. The weird thing was that I was more worried about the crease in the sticker because some had folded it before putting it in the box.

    Daniel Boone Backcountry byway Labor Day

    Dang it! I just checked with the XYL and I may be obligated that weekend (currently obligated through Overland Expo East weekend). I gotta see if I can get out of it. This is only two hours from the house and I have been planning a trip to check out the natural arches for some time. This...
