Picked up this trailer to solve some of the storage problems on my 2 door JK. It's a '46-'47 Knox truck bed. They were built as an option for International pick-ups after WWII and are known for the waffle steel in the bed. Body/Trim: My first steps will be to take it apart and check the...

Haven't posted for awhile so here's an update on my Jeep. When I bought it, I knew it had steering issues. After pushing it through death wobble for too long, it went from being frustrating and mildly unsafe to totally undriveable. The past 6 months have been a journey discovering how systemic...

Oh yeah, I also highly recommend the Hurrah Pass trail. It is easier than the trails you mentioned and the views are some of the best. I got this picture out there.

Sounds like a fun plan so far! I live in the Boulder area. Things are finally warming up around here (except for the snow a couple of days ago). I can't help much with the booking or VRBO. I either camp or use hotel points so my experience is limited to a handful of hotels. I can say the...

I asked this question a year and a half ago, but nobody had any advice. I still haven't fully decided. haha. In the process of comparing, I took the f150 on an easy/moderate trail to test its off-road chops. It was not terrible, but I did knock it on a few rocks which pushed me towards the...

Moab is so cool!

Nice Jeep! Hopefully some of this is helpful info: Bathroom—toilet rules are strict around Moab. If the campground doesn’t have a vault toilet, you can get a ticket for not bringing one. No cat holes in the desert. Food/meals—I don’t have any special camp food recommendations, but if you have...

Just over the UT border North of 40 I highly recommend the Ashley National Forest area. I think it’s too early in the year to get far, but there is the unpaved red cloud scenic byway (and side roads) with a ton of hiking, exploring, and isolated camping. The attached picture is from Red Fleet...

Love this place. Spent the evening listening to rain and hail on the tent.

Awesome. Thanks for the input.

I am planning on the Mojave Road at the end of March, but I may end up having to work a little while I’m out there. Does anyone know if there is Verizon cell signal anywhere on the road?

I carry the torque wrench in my kit too. It is necessary for most steering and suspension repairs (which I seem to have a lot of lately).

If you go with this Daystar winch bumper I'd be curious to see a review. The Renegade suspension seems robust enough that I don't think the added weight would be noticeable up front (but I could be wrong). To me it looks like a semi-permanent add-on; I wouldn't want to unbolt and unplug the...

not towards you--towards the initial reply comment putting down Jeeps without saying anything constructive or objective. I agree, how boring would overlanding be if we all drove the same car??

Yup, that's correct. No locker either. The locker on the Trailhawk isn't technically a real locker anyways--its simulated utilizing the brake system. But the Latitude will do everything an Outback can. No harm in test driving all of them! (except, inevitably, getting harassed by a bunch of car...

These forums are crawling with Toyota fanboys that like to crap on Jeeps--many of whom have never owned a Jeep. Toyota and Subaru have some good vehicles. However, I own two Jeeps, there are a couple of other Jeeps in my family, and we're all happy with our Jeeps. The Jeep Cherokee has some...

Nice bathrooms and showers are really good to have out there. If you stay somewhere primitive without those amenities, the Moab rec center offers showers for $5/person.

Seven Mile in the Poudre Canyon. It’s not too high elevation and there’s plenty of secluded camping. Switzerland trail next to Boulder is fun after a big snow. Off of the peak to peak highway there’s also Bunce School Road, Rollins Pass East (go until the snow turns you around), Pickle Gulch...

Works for me. Looking forward to it.

Looks great! I need to do something like that. Did you have to make new holes in the tailgate for the all of the screws and rope?
