If you are just planning on using chains for highway passes when required by state patrol, a good quality cable chain from Peerless or Security Chain Company has always done me well in the past. Although mostly they just live in the bag as 4wd and all wheel drive vehicles are not often...
Reed, So cool to see an old truck get a new lease on life, I have an old 91 F250 supercab diesel stored away until I can figure out what I want to do with it and the time to do it. over 400k miles and still runs down the road. no computers or auto anything. Only problem is the 40 acres it...
I agree that there are seemingly only meetups lately, but then we did go a long time with nothing on the calendar due to Covid, We have had good success in the NW corner of Washington with our sort-of-monthly meetups, each time we have folks show up who have been members for a while and never...
Thomas, welcome to Overland Bound! Lots of information on both Tacoma and Wrangler on the forums here. Both are really good capable vehicles, definitely find a way to take a test drive in the vehicles you are interested in, that can help rule them in or out in a hurry. Which one to choose...
Thank you to everyone who came out to the holiday edition of our Gears, Gab, & Grub meetup. It was great to meet and getting to know several new folks. discussed some good ideas for some day and overnight trips for the new year. Defiantly looking forward to getting out on the trail and...
John, welcome to Overland Bound, we are on the opposite side of the pass from you, and spend a lot of time over in your area. If you are the facebook type, there is an Overland Bound NW page that you can join that folks share stuff happening in the NW region.
We spent Thanksgiving week exploring the San Rafael Swell, and had some awesome nights camping with the rock walls and stars. night time temps got down to 13 degrees, putting our new 15 degree rated sleeping bag test, we did throw a nylon tarp over the mesh roof of the Gazelle tent before...
Carry 2 bottle jacks 10 ton and a little 3 ton (I think) along with the factory jack and a High lift. Love the versatility of the bottle jacks. The small one is for trailside repairs, ie. pushing bent parts back into shape, never use the factory jack, but its tucked away so just left it...
Chuck, welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State over on the left hand side of the country.. Nice to see someone else out in the dirt playing with their Dually! we did not find any mud while in Utah over Thanksgiving, but still got plenty dirty.
We do the mother ship / base camp option with our motorhome and WJ jeep, works well when we are exploring around a central area for a week or two, but we do find ourselves more and more into the travel portion and enjoy the flexibility of traversing several states without having to back...
I think we finally came to a decision last night, Gladiator is going to be out for now due to payload limits and huge initial cost. Ram will stay as is until we get our shop finished, then pull the box, super single it, and add a custom made expedition type box. Overall cost will be a lot...
Thanks, I will take a look at the Bundutec site. I have thought about putting the alu-cab on the current bed and switching to a super single tire at the back and running it that way for a while to see how it works out. (don't like the damage that rocks can do when getting stuck in the duals...
