    Overland Expo 2018 WEST Caravan - Arizona Convoy - Overland Expo WEST - 05/17/2018

    Yeah, that's the general idea. @Michael had mentioned in another thread getting some of us early arrivals to coordinate a larger section for OB if we can. Of course there is no assigned camping spots, it's first-come-first-served so we'll have to kinda play it by ear to some extent.

    Overland Expo 2018 WEST Caravan - Arizona Convoy - Overland Expo WEST - 05/17/2018

    @Dog Pack Yep, cool We can either add another pickup spot off of I-10 or have you and your buddies meet us at the pickup spot proposed at Anthem Outlets off of 17

    Overland Expo 2018 WEST Caravan - Arizona Convoy - Overland Expo WEST - 05/17/2018

    Yeah! Anthem Outlets seems like a great meetup spot - right off of 17. Seems like it will have easy access to get off/on the highway, too

    RAM mounts?

    Ooooh, what part do you use to connect it to the glove box handle, @Jku Ben? That looks like a great tablet mounting spot!

    RAM mounts?

    I love RAM mounts, I actually just ordered some additional mounts this morning so we can mount an iPad mini to the dash. I have a JKE bar from Vector Offroad which runs across the whole top of our dash (we have a JKU) and then from that we mount all our RAM mounts. Here's an old picture of our...

    Arizona Overlanders

    I just created a Rally Point for the Arizona Convoy to Overland Expo WEST. We are lucky that we don't have as far to drive as others, but I figured if there are others heading up there we might as well try to form a convoy. Pickup spots in Tucson and Phoenix, and if there are other pick-up...

    Overland Expo 2018 WEST Caravan - Arizona Convoy - Overland Expo WEST - 05/17/2018

    The "Notes" section is a bit buried in Rally Point, so i'll post this comment here, too: Departure/pickup times and places are up for discussion so put in requests if you have any. We are planning on driving up Thursday morning early, but will also consider leaving Wed afternoon/evening and...

    Overland Expo 2018 WEST Caravan - Arizona Convoy - Overland Expo WEST - 05/17/2018

    Ok, ok, I know we don't have that far to drive, but that doesn't mean we can't put together a great full-state convoy! The convoy will start in Tucson and work it's way up to Flagstaff stopping in/near Phoenix (and any other requested stops on the way) to collect members as we go. View Rally...

    OLB Overland Expo 2018 WEST

    The family and i will be heading up early as well and are happy to help set up a collective camp spot. We're coming up from southern AZ so we'll be able to get there early. Might even head up the night before and camp out somewhere else just to be ready to get in line.

    Heading out to the Southwest

    I originally hoped to set up an El Camino run for like March 16-19 but then I ended up with a last-minute work trip where I won't return until the night of the 17th. I think we're still gonna be doing *some* sort of multi-day run during that week of the 19-25th, but nothing concrete planned. We...

    Trail kit

    Yep, we do the same for day trips, basically we bring just enough stuff that we could minimally camp out if required. We always toss in an Aqua-Tainer of water as well, which is absolutely critical for emergencies here in the desert. Our vehicle is also permanently packed with camo netting...

    quick tip on filling your water jugs

    Apparently the magic keyword for these things is "shampoo spray hose" Here's one on amazon: Just cut the shower head part off and you're in business

    Jeep JKUR Base Platform

    This looks great! I wish I could do something like this with my JKU but we're a family of 5 and need all those seats! Did you consider putting in some trapdoors to access the rear recessed storage/subwoofer compartment, or similar trapdoors to get possibly easier access to the footwell storage...
