    Overlanding at 33mph

    208cc Kohler. Bigger than my TW200 but less power lol. Engine is larger than 50cc so not classed as a moped. At least here in Texas.

    Overlanding at 33mph

    It's a little more than that. 2 Wheel drive, though slow, can climb like a mountain goat. Price between 7 and 8 grand.

    APRS - 710GA vs 400XDR

    My APRS setup is a handheld attached to an external antenna. It's not something I keep on the Jeep all the time just on trip so being battery powered isn't a huge deal. Baofeng, BTECH APRS cable and a 40 dollar android phone from amazon. The setup is hooked to an external 1/4 wave antenna...

    1990 XJ? Is it worth it?

    For a running mostly intact XJ this price isn't to crazy depending on area. 20 to 30 years of abuse and sawsalls has taken its toll on the XJ population. That combined with renewed interest in the platform has resulted in increased demand with an ever decreasing supply.

    Wanting a nice Sunday drive through the Ozarks

    Gaia, Google Maps, BackCountry Navigator. Those are my gotos. Backcountry Navigator and Gaia are both pay to play, there is a free Backcountry Navigator version but it's not as capable as the paid version. At least the paid backcountry nav is a one time cost instead of the annual fee for...

    Wanting a nice Sunday drive through the Ozarks

    They are going to be doing a controlled burn on the north end of the lake for the first part of the year. Saw signs all over last trip but dont remeber the dates exactly.

    How many Air Compressor Units & Tanks are Reccomended?

    Maybe I missed it in the thread somewhere. What's the intended use of your setup? Run air tools? Air Up Tires only? Shop air? Air suspension? If all you need to do is air tires up and down and maybe air up an air mattress you don't need a bit fire breathing unit that'll run your shop...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Different areas of the country. When I was stationed in SOCAL It wasn't uncommon for folks to go shoot in the BLM and National Forrest areas in SOCAL because there's so much of it and it's easily accessible. Gun clubs and indoor ranges are restricting in what you can do (slow fire only, no...

    Jeep Owners Represent!

    I wave from my XJ. Never get a wave back. I assume that most JK/JL owners today don't even know what a XJ is.

    Wanting a nice Sunday drive through the Ozarks

    I stayed at Beaver's Bend State Park a while back. March time frame I think. We were going to dispersed camp on the east side of the lake somewhere but a couple with us decided they wanted access to "facilities", unfortunately I caved. People were up all night long with music, a couple of...

    Wanting a nice Sunday drive through the Ozarks

    Fuel smell and bad mileage

    His year model will just have the thermostat housing mounted sensor which feeds data to the computer and gauge. 96 and down had a head mounted sensor that fed the dash gauge and the thermostat housing sensor was used for fueling. There's a chart with OHM readings based on temperature of the...

    Wanting a nice Sunday drive through the Ozarks

    Nearly the whole West Side of the lake is OHV/Ntl Forrest area. The East side seems to be more Game Preserve but still navigable. Here's a few pics from my last couple of trips. Holly Mountain Trail Deadend forrest service road camp. Abandoned fire tower on East Side of lake.

    Build it (which it seems you are doing) and put the left over money in the gas tank :D
