In my opinion, all those things you listed elevate it from just a trip to an adventure! Looks like you had a great time. Michelle & I still have it as a possibility for after Christmas this year
Seems like if you have just one antenna your fine, once you get two and leave the rig alone long enough in a dark place you will get them sprouting up all over the rig.... Not always a problem,,, just saying.. All of my rigs have ended up with the hedgehog look.
So far the Ram Tab-Tite holder is the only one that can seem to keep my tablet (10" samsung in a protective case) reasonably secure. when using the X arm style and the ones from 67 Design and Bullet Point the tablet slowly walks sideways on washboard roads. also no matter how much the...
We have a JKU and after much deliberation went with the Teraflex 3 inch Outback suspension with the Alpine fully adjustable control arms. Also the Falcon 3.3 adjustable shocks. Night and day difference from factory for sure, 90 percent of this is the shocks in my opinion (They do not do...
Primary rig is a Jeep JK with 110,000
Secondary / local rig is a Jeep WJ with 210,000
Ram 3500 with 130,000
Not an overlander, but have an old F250 with close to 400,000
Would take any of them across country without any worries, In my opinion preventive maintenance and owning a vehicle long...
Thank you, found a US distributor on Ebay, a lot more ($120) than the cheapo hose from Amazon, but have had good luck with silicone items and heat resistance so think I will give it a try. Looks like it might have less internal air friction than the one I have now which should keep the...
Do you happen to have a link to your supply hose? Any issues with the heater shutting down to an overheat with the long hose? We just picked up an all in one and the two footer that come with it is ridiculous, and the silver lined black one I got of the Amazons looks like it might melt...lol
Not the dirtiest I have got a vehicle, but definitely proved to be the hardest to clean off of all time, Winter trip to the Yukon from Seattle and not sure what some of those dirt roads were made of but better than concrete in my book. Had to stop and clean the lights off at least once an...
That whole area is awesome, we had a blast there last Thanksgiving, looking like we will pass thru there again this Thanksgiving and hopefully have a few days to explore, will have the JK this time instead of the Dually so will open more places to explore, and a RTT instead of a ground tent
I would likely only consider a professional guided trip if I were travelling to another continent and had only limited time to explore, that way I would hope to get the most out of my time visiting the locals favorite spots. Preferably also one where you get a rig of your own to drive on the trip.
That would probably be a great idea, this weekend will be our last solo trip on the WABDR for the year due to trail conditions and the likelihood of getting stuck, that trail has three seasons; snowed out, mudhole, and dustbowl...lol but the views are fantastic and it's a lot of fun. In...
Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) is a great set of forest roads linked together running from Oregon to Canadian borders, we just ran section 3 (Ellensburg to Wenatchee) yesterday, but had snow above 5,000 feet, and plenty of slippery clay, expect that to be impassable soon...
John, Welcome to Overland Bound! What part of Washington are you in? This will give folks a better idea of what to recommend. Starting to get to the time of the year when lots of forest service roads are going to close down due to snow, but depending on where you are there are usually some...
I know all about the rock slides, Michelle made me pitch the tent behind the great big rock..lol Except for Goblin Valley we were luck to see one other vehicle a day
Small backpack just for your son with a collection of treasures, stuffed animal, books, a few toys. Let him pack it and be "responsible" for it during the trip gives them a huge feeling of being part of the trip, my kids loved it. When they were old enough they got to bring a small pup...
Not worried about the cold nights, spent a week in the Swell last year in single digit temps in a ground tent. The ice on shelf roads would be the main concern, especially since we will most likely be travelling solo at that time of the year especially at the climb back out at the far end...
Has anyone run the White Rim Trail in winter? We had been thinking of going over our Thanksgiving Vacation this year, but the campsites are long since reserved, so now the thought of doing it over Christmas break has popped in to our brains. Judging by the amount of open campsites on the...
