    I'm back!

    I can't wait to see what you do with the new rig. It was actually the Taco that was features on the Overland Bound YouTube channel with the KB Voodoo Rack mounted over a Diamond Back HD Cover and this over the top PULLKITHCEN that I mapped my build around.

    Engine bay secondary Battery or Jackery 1000 portable

    I run the dual battery setup on my CJ5. and even with two AGM batteries I have found myself in trouble on more than one occasion when I thought I could use it as my primary source of power. Well with the Black Friday specials and Jackery's latest sale I just purchased the 1000, and 2 - 100W...

    The Diamond Back HD was my first choice, and even though I ultimately went in a different direction I love the 1600lb load option; ATV side load to their new Frontier Rack. Initially I was also looking at Expidtionone and AEV for their mods - here are some vendors, and names that might help you...

    Puppy GPS trackers

    I’m absolutely love the Tractive GPS trackers for my two out of control 20 month black mouth curs The strobe light at night is one of my favorite features as I can see my rug rats in the woods running around. After watching our friends EFRT on YouTube with Lando I knew I had to pick these up for...

    Mike and Tracy; Welcome and I'm not that far from Mass... just outside of Cooperstown I gave up on looking for overlanding shops, and with COVID the best results that I have found come from browsing online. If you haven't settled on a TC - check out Diamond Back SE and HD covers, I also like...

    New Overlander

    First of all - Welcome and let me tip my hat to you for the Mexico to CA trip, that was on my short list when I had lived in AZ. Just moved back east, and like you I find myself building my 1500 (Ram) as my primary overlanding rig. Take your time and it out on paper, I have been braking out...

    Overlanding with the pups

    Wow what a beautiful 75lb pup, love the pics. I had my flat coat retriever for 14.5 years and she was my co-pilot was well traveling from AZ to NY over 6 times. Now that I look at these pics I wonder if Jasmine was a Belgian Sheepdog. I also love the way you setup your XJ, right now I'm...

    Overlanding with the pups

    Absolutely, with the pups they will travel inside the truck to the final destination of choice. Bear gets the front seat and Wanda and Wilson will have the back seat to themselves. When I get the camp site I plan on setting up the cables and the impact dog crates. I might even pick up an...

    Overlanding with the pups

    Oh my, this reply brings back memories of my Boy Bear in Miami, walking up people on the beach and marking on the back of their beach chairs. I would switch from the east coast to the west coast of FL each weekend in search of the best dog beaches; i had finally settled on Bonita Springs and...

    Overlanding with the pups

    Thank you so much for your reply; for some reason I let my IT GIG take over my life these past few years that when I look back I did the same - I set the boundaries at all camp sites in Northern AZ and Idaho. The very first thing I did was to set up the cables before the tent so that I could...

    Overlanding with the pups

    Thank you Love the pups, and thank you for the reply. With my two rug rats Wanda and Wilson the key is to keep one on leash at all times. The 'W' pups are from the same litter and they won't leave each other.

    Overlanding with the pups

    It was insane, watching those 3 point turns as the Hail was coming down. The CJ5 would be sweet on solo trips if I swap out my rebuilt AMC 360 for a R2.8 crate engine. Well since Fall is right around the corner, I have some time to look around as I don't expect to hit any trails until after...
