I love a JK that's been built up in a way that's both practical and understated. Bummer about the engine issues, I hope that you'll get back on the road soon enough!

What an awesome build thread! This really makes me nostalgic for the 2010's threads on places like 'Mud and Pirate. Your Troopy will absolutely rock once it's all together, especially with all of the Cruiserhead dream goodies like a 1HD-T, H155F, and radius arm front axle with lockers. I'll be...

I've recently switched over to a BH Outback (99-04 model) and it's really solid on rough roads and the remote tracks that I tend to gravitate towards. Spacious enough for my wife and I to sleep in while camping together, and enough space for us, our two kids. Not quite enough room for all of our...

Sounds like the usual rot in the typical places. Not bad.

I'm floored by how clean that Binder is. Normally the tin worms eat those old Internationals up, but this thing just has surface rust in the usual places. That's a score!

And thank you for bringing it up, I'm looking into doing that one next summer.

I had a friend who did a similar journey, and ever since I've wanted to visit the Emerald Isle. I'm grateful that you shared your journey with us.

We hit Leggett and headed west to HWY 1. We were gifted with the most incredible views of the craggy north coast beaches that makes my soul sing. We stopped by the Mendocino Dunes to explore the mouth of the Ten Mile River, and decided that the next best course of action was to hit 128 east from...

The next following morning, we decided that we would just take the most scenic way possible home. To that end, we decided to take HWY 1 home once it broke away from 101. Our first stop southbound was in Eureka, where we found a random shop called Vampire Penguin. Curious, we swung by and found...

A few minutes later, we were rolling past the signposts of Emerald Forest. The woman at the Front Desk was just incredibly nice and accommodating. They had tons of availability and even gave us a full RV spot under a big sprawling redwood. We had water, land power, access to an amazing stone...

Heading out, we asked a Ranger at Fern Canyon where a good campground was, and we were cautioned that with it being a holiday weekend we'd likely strike out. We decided that we'd head south towards Trinidad and maybe find a place to crash in a motel or or turn east on one of the easier entrances...

Heading out of Fern Canyon, we passed a wee tiny water crossing, and we just had to stop for some poser photos.

The next morning was a smoky one. In a sign of things to come, wildfires were hitting the Six Rivers hard, and while the air had been clear earlier, shifting wind conditions had pushed the smoke back into our faces. We still busied about camp with our apple pancakes, desperate to try and force...

The trip began on a Friday evening. We both finished work, and made for her parents' house, where her father had graciously packed us provisions for the journey. She was vegan at the time, and I have the dietary habits of a raccoon, so his expertise and assistance was greatly appreciated. We...

This story from back in the day. To set the scene, a hairy weirdo who was planning on living in the woods out of the back of his Toyota T-100 pickup and a stylish gal with a penchant for exploring met, and they somehow found something special. Him -the narrator, having been influenced by...

Oh man, Bear Creek. Best Plan B campsite I'd ever found.

I haven't been there since before the Ranch Fire. I'm hoping to have my Subaru built up enough to get back there in May.

I've backpacked and off-roaded in the areas around Snow Mountain quite a bit. While I haven't done anywhere near the full distance of the BDT, I can at least help a little. Most of the trails up there are pretty manageable- fire roads, and the like. I poked around there in a barely-lifted RWD...

Nice! Snow Mountain is a favorite place of mine to visit. I appreciate you sharing.

Thanks, Kent! Much appreciated!
