I like your rig, I'm glad it's not a jacked up oil sands rig too. I live near the Vancouver area and it looks like your route is taking HWY 5. If that's the case I'd recommend Whipsaw, which would be on your way. I have a GPX file I can send you so you can access the trail via HWY 5 and head...

I agree with the winch first mentality. A locker may help you to avoid the need for a winch, but a winch will help you out in every situation. I'm not familiar with the Toyota traction systems, but in my Jeep I have Brake Locking Differentials (BLD) and it has performed just as well as a locker...

Deep mud has got to be the worst, no idea of how far it sinks. After that, steep ascents is close on the list.

Nice ARB bumper, Harv. I used to have that one too, It's a nice stubby. Here is my 14' Wrangler on 2.5" of lift and 35's.

Is that right? Maybe we can connect, I would run this trail again. On the trail I had two groups come south towards us and only ran into one group going north in front of us. Camping wise, there was well over five groups off the trail enjoying the scenery.

A friend and I headed up to a well known trail, by the name of Whipsaw for the BC Day long weekend. It's a 80km (50mi) trail located in the interior of the province, between two gold mining towns. We ended up traveling just over 142km (88mi) of trail connecting to Murphy Lakes before heading...

They did take a LOT of weight to balance, but they run smooth; even more so than my 35x12.5R15's.

Mounted up some 17" AEV Salta wheels on 35" MTR/K's.

I'm not sure if you're looking for provincial campgrounds or a more "off the grid" type experience. If it's the latter I would recommend the Whipsaw trail, which is nothing to serious and located about 3 hours from Vancouver. It can be done in two days and offers plenty of camping along the way...

I agree with this. All though you have probably already made your decision, my 35" BFG KM2's handle and run smoother than my 33" Goodyear Wranglers in all conditions. While I can't give a direct comparison on Wrangler's vs KO2's, I would recommend BFG over Goodyear based on my past experiences...

Couldn't agree more with this.

I agree, a tourniquet is highly effective if used under the right circumstance (i.e life or limb). I just hate seeing people spend good money on tools that aren't needed for the activity, I suppose you can never go over prepared though. Just my input on this subject, as I've noticed many people...

I agree, training is king and practicing said training is crucial as Mellowdave said. I personally carry a first aid kit similar to those posted, but I also carry a dedicated O2 tank. That being said I am trained to an EMR level and find the use of oxygen is worth its weight in gold; far to many...

I find this to be the absolute truth. I've stopped going to so many forums because of snobs and shallow minded people. Any vehicle which is intended for offroad use is just as capable as the next and even though I drive a Jeep, I still have respect for Toyota's, Land Rovers and the like.

Hello, I'm a fairly new into the Overland crowd and life and I currently live on the coast in British Columbia, Canada. About two years ago I purchased a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited new off the lot as my first vehicle (I was late to the whole driving thing), little did I know what I was...

I recently purchased the Hema Explorer app for an upcoming trip, which is apparently a knock off of Gaia (I had no clue). The purchase came with multiple topo and sat maps, all of which are great. While I haven't had the chance to put it to the test, it works in both on and offline mode for...
