It was now the end of April, and I finally got confirmation from GOBI that my rack was actually being shipped out within a week or so. So much for the 4 week wait they initially quoted me (numerous times, too!). I knew that the rack would interfere with the satellite radio antenna, so I took the...

Welcome! I'm glad to see another Tucsonan on here! Once the weather cools a bit I'll schedule a Tucson-area state meet and greet or camp trip. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I'm hoping to run El Camino Del Diablo when the weather cools down. Really looking forward to that after all I've seen and read about it. I'll create an event somewhere to see if others are interested in joining once I have a better idea of a date. Thinking some time in October/November

Installed these gear bags to take up dead space between the roll bars in the back of my JKU. I put one on each side and they have way more storage space than i was expecting. I was able to take all the stuff i stored under the back seats and store them in these. Driver's side has all my recovery...

Welcome!

So far our stock rubicon has been an absolute workhorse. We have gotten our money's worth out of the bash plates on a few trips, and we have been really good about not hitting the differentials at all, ok, maybe one or two minor taps. Well, that all changed on a Rug Road trip from Mammoth, AZ to...

Thanks! It's a modest build at the moment, but it's serving us really well!

Thank you!

For the first part of the year, Titan Fuel Tanks was running a huge sale on their 12Gal Trail Trekker to offload the current inventory and make way for the v2 design. The deal was just too good to pass up, so we picked one up for almost 50% off. While this is a bolt-on tank, it does require...

While we were on that trip where that last posted photo was taken, my 4 year old was playing in the distance at the side of the creek that ran along side the campsite. I heard him yell something, and then noticed him start casually walking back towards us. He came up to me and in the most...

Our modest setup is working out really well so far. Getting us to all the places we need to go. We are definitely struggling with storage a bit at this point, especially for any trip longer than a couple days. It's clear to me that we are going to want a roof rack, so I put in an order in Feb...

My OB 2 emblems had arrived in January of this year, but it took me until march before i finally decided on where to place them. I like to overanalyze as much as possible, yay! In the end I went for one just above the wrangler decal on the driver front fender, and one on the rear just to the...

Some time early this year or late last year we picked up a Trasharoo after hearing and seeing so many positive mentions of it. This has become one of the most invaluable items we take on adventures with us. We of course use it for carrying out our own trash, and many times it is also carrying...

PROTIP: since the taking of this photo, I realized that we could place the air compressor inside the passenger footwell, keep the jeep running, and blast the air conditioner out of the lower vents to drastically increase the duty cycle of the compressor. This was a critical realization here in...

Airing down the tires has become an absolute necessity on most of our adventures by this point, all it took was a couple of expensive uses of a Circle K air compressor to realize that there had to be a better, faster way. At this point we picked up a SuperFlow air compressor, which has made all...

After a few months of us venturing out solo on relatively easy adventures. We decided to hit up a slightly more challenging route that would require almost full time use of 4WD-L. It was on this adventure that we made friends with another jeeper on the trail and then joined up together. After...

Here we are a couple of months later. I'd been traveling quite a bit for work, so we had only managed to take the jeep out once or twice. The first "off-road" trip we did was to take her down the back side of Mt. Lemmon here in Tucson after a weekend of camping at the top. We played around a...

I've been meaning to start a build thread for months, today is the day! We picked up our 2016 JKU RHR last August and have been slowly building her up as a mostly dedicated overland / exploration rig since then. We're building her up slow and steady with an attempt to customize only as we find...

Join the AZ Overlanders meetup on https://www.meetup.com/AZ-Overlanders/ and you should see it listed as the next event

Yes! I'm reading more build threads as a way to motivate myself to start one. If you post more updates, I can procrastinate on that longer since I'll have more to read!
