    Alex's Overland Rig and Adventure Thread

    Buy a Wrangler, you'll be drilling more drainage holes in the floor like I did. Lol

    80 Series LC FZJ80 '97

    I'm becoming more tempted to get rid of my Grand Cherokee and pick up a decent used LC. I doubt I'd ever get rid of my Wrangler. But there are times a vehicle with more room and comfort would be handy for long trips.

    South LA, the real LA, LOUISIANA

    I'm not from the area, but my wife is wanting to make a trip down there someday. Hopefully you'll get some responses because I'm curious about trails myself down that way.

    Ahhhh.....Shade

    Ugh, every time I see cool rigs on here, I start to get tempted to trade in my Wrangler for a LC.

    Too much free time or addict?

    This is one of the few forums where people can post and ask questions without the fear of ridicule. Adding @Steve as a moderator will only enhance the community even further. Keep up the good work. I've moderated a couple forums before, and it can be challenging at times. So far on this forum...

    Sockets/Universal Sockets/Spline Drive

    That's the problem. Not sure if I should just drag around a whole socket set or just what's needed for anything on the trail. Plus standard, deepwell, etc. That's why I was considering the spline drive with pass through. Still haven't decided yet. lol

    If you think Indiana is boring, try living in Iowa.

    Electromagnetic loop roof rack

    That is pretty cool.

    This is what I've been planning.

    Looks like an epic trip planned. I want to get to Glacier NP so badly. I'd love to spend a month up there photographing and hiking. Wish I could call in sick to work for a month this summer and head there. Looking forward to seeing your photo essay when your done.

    Anyone in SE Wisconsin?

    I don't know that we have anyone on here yet from Wisconsin. I'm about three hours away from that location. Too bad you weren't visiting Southwest Wisconsin. That's only about an hour away from my location.

    How do you like the Duratracs? I've been running them on my Jeep for a couple years now and really like them.

    Camp Photos!

    My wife is not a "camper". So, a lot of our trips we stay in a cabin or hotel. We enjoy going to the U.P. of Michigan almost every summer. This is a cabin we routinely stay at in Germfask, along the Manistique river. Beautiful area. Just down the road from a large nature preserve. These are...

    Rig Photos

    Well, I'm not quite done. Always a "build in progress". But here she sits so far. 07' JKU. 3" Zone lift, 9500 XRC Gen2 winch, rock sliders and some other goodies. Oh yah, and my wife loves to ride topless in it! Only takes a few minutes to remove the rack completely. Top still comes off...

    Thoughts on this article-the 10 commandments of modifying an overland vehicle

    I agree with a lot of it. When I had my new 3" Zone lift put on a couple months ago, my intention was to go up to 35's. I even had the front axle sleeved and gussetted. However, I'm finding I like the ride on 33's and will probably just stay there. 35's would degrade performance to some degree...

    I see all these nice rigs on here, then my wife reminds me I can only have one. lol

    Nice rig. Never owned one, but have always liked the Xterra's.

    Western Washington Trip

    Looks like a fun trip. A lot more interesting than touring around Iowa where I live. lol

    Stickers

    I ordered it from stickylife.com. The first one I tried to put on when it was windy, and the .com portion folded over on itself.

    Thanks. I'm ordering a new one. This time I won't try to put it on when it's windy. lol

    Looks awesome. Give us a trail report on how they perform for you.
