Nate, Welcome to Overland Bound!

We recently added a 2013 JKU 10th anniversary Rubicon to our fleet, found one with low mileage and still 100% stock, that way we can build it the way we want. it will get a 3" Teraflex lift and 35" tires which is defiantly the sweet spot for these rigs, still a ways from having the whole...

We have three gopro's Hero 3,5, & 8 Blacks, Images from them are fantastic, especially the 8, however except from that I can't say I love much else about them. They eat batteries with a voracious appetite, get hot, and the two earlier versions randomly lock up. the remote control is great...

Hard part will be deciding which one of our names we would list first in the name... lol

Thanks for hosting the call last night Steve, great format and a lot of good information was discussed. Definitely looking forward to seeing more activity and events this year!

Batteries are designed for many purposes, a starting battery that comes with the vehicle has one main purpose, starting the car. On a cold day with thick engine oil it takes a lot of amperage to crank the engine over. a starting battery can produce a lot of amps for a short time, then gets...

Cheryl, Welcome to Overland Bound! a great place to learn about upcoming events is on the Rally Point tab, there you can filter events by area such as Northwest Region, and find outings and meetups that members are planning, they also show up in the calendar. Things have been a little...

Bjoern, Thank you for this thread, I have always had a soft spot for winter travel. You have taken some great photos, and tell a good story, I look forward to future installments.

We have an old GSD with hip dysplasia, we have been using a ground tent, but are now changing to a 23 zero roof top tent with a fully enclosed annex for the dog kennel, and to have the ability to come down out of the weather and get dressed etc. No way we would be able to get her up into...

Steve, look forward to getting out your way to explore sometime soon, currently building out a new rig, and will see which costs more,, the build or the gas to cross the state to visit you guys.. lol

Trip Report: Thank you to everyone who joined us for our camp out this weekend at Baker Lake! At least for Michelle and I this was the first official OB overnight event for 2022, we had an awesome time, and the weather ended up being much better than the prognosticators predicted. No...

Michelle & I spent today running some forest service roads between Arlington and Concrete in advance of this weekends campout, a few options with various levels of snow and downed trees.... should be able to find some fun along the way, unfortunately none of the roads are open all the way to...

Sorry to hear about your dog not doing well, and as we have an ancient GSD with questionable health, we totally get it. We will miss seeing you there, but hopefully catch you on the next one.

Will likely affect how we travel more then where... Often we tow one of the jeeps behind our motorhome and make 'basecamp' somewhere distant for a couple of weeks, thus allowing some online work to happen at camp with day or two day explorations. at 6mpg and over $5 per gallon the Motorhome...

Sounds good Neil, always good to see you!

Sounds good, look forward to seeing you up there.

Weather is looking like in the upper 30's at night and mid 40's daytime. Possible snow /rain mix. If you are not familiar with the area, the road is paved all the way to the camp site, and typically kept in good condition due to the proximity to the dam. You are always welcome if you have a...

If I remember correctly (which seems to be far less likely these days) the screws are 2.6 x 5 mm. you don't want them going in too deep and contacting vital parts that can make smoke..lol

Agreed, Diesel has reached over $5 per gallon, with my local station being $5.29, essentially grounding my Ram3500 and my motorhome. current prices would be 185 and 650 per tank respectively. Michelle got gas in the JK this morning for $4.29. Going to have to rethink long trips this...

Ouch ... Think that's considered a major upgrade now days.. considering gas went up about 50 cents a gallon over the weekend up here.
