    Best rooftop cargo box

    Before I fell victim of the Overland - YouTube Craze and decided to go all in with Roam Adventure Cargo Boxes, and Pelican Vault Cases I used the Rightline Cargo Bags for my SUV. I had one mounted on the Roof and one mounted on the rear hatch. 100% waterproof, they did the job from AZ to FL and...

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    I run the Smittybilt 12k Synthetic Winch on my Ram, and I have plans on adding a 9 to 10k for my CJ. Now just setback, break out the popcorn and watch EFRT S5*EP24 - Stranded for 3 days in the Mountains.

    Engine bay secondary Battery or Jackery 1000 portable

    I ended up adding the Yahama SC2300i Inverter Generator as my back up to the Jackery 1000 as my backup. It worked like a Gem. I also keep a Type S lithium Jump Starter in the Ram.

    Who here plans Overland trips around Fishing?

    Maybe this summer we can setup a group trip, I just moved back east after 26 years in AZ. I haven't fished since my pre-college years growing up in UpState NY for Small Mouth Bass and Rainbow Trout. I really would like to get into Fly Fishing this summer.

    Question about tires.

    As already recommended I would go with the A/T over a M/T tire, I run KO2's on my CJ5 and I run Pro Comp A/Ts on my Ram. Everyone has their own personal preference here, so I would just do your research. I was looking for a 10ply A/T for my Ram when I switched from BFG to ProComp.

    Experience with Taxa Mantis or Cricket

    While I don’t own a Taxxa Mantis or Cricket I have been shopping around and you will find some custom reviews on YouTube that you might find interesting. Now for the price tag on the Mantis, I would spend about 5k more for a Opus 15 or HQ Black Series 12.

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    Just the other day I found myself browsing Tesla's site for the CyberTruck. Then I had also consider the Posted Range (4x4) with the dual motor - 300miles. The dual motor seemed to be a more affordable option, now if you factor in towing it's said that you could see a decrease in max range...

    What should be the first mod

    Love the Jeep by the way, you lucked out - it looks ready to go as is. Looking at the tips above is exactly why I joined Overland Bound, and why I really enjoy this Forum.
