@Kent R is there some form of push alert that can help here? Do we have members in the area?

I enjoy wheeling/adventuring with others, and many times that means I have to be the one to set something up. Here in NJ a lot of folks in Facebook groups or on forums are so eager to get out and meet people and DO trips together, but no one steps up to PLAN those trips. So I've taken it upon...

They will still have an old Haynes manual for your rig out there. Some manufacturers have their own versions as well, my new truck uses GM Upfitter "Body Builder" manuals and they come in good handy. For parts personally, I have to admit I don't bring anything. Just tools, recovery gear, and a...

Moore's Beach yeah, great place. Just check the tides so you don't show up to an inaccessible road in!

Ah yes, I recognize that waterfall instantly. Have you completed the TNJT entirely? Welcome to OB!

Giving the new truck a run for its money!

I can't say it any better than Dave did. Welcome to OB!

A/T on 22" wheels might be just as effective where you are headed as your current tires. If you're saving money I wouldn't buy tires at all in this case. Saving a bit and getting new wheels and tires at once might save you a good chunk.

Yeah, very very similar but slightly more tame. Thinner gaps between lugs, etc. But just barely. They're both 3PMS rated and all that.

My M/T tires lasted a LONG time. Generally, I think A/T tires will last a bit longer because overlanding often requires putting behind a lot of miles getting from point to point. I ran M/Ts for several years but the first thing I did when I made the change from crawling to overlanding was the...

This is very out of the blue and has caught us all off guard. Backward Flag is closing for good, and sadly we have already had our last meeting there earlier this month. This Saturday is the final farewell for anyone who wishes to attend. Opening at noon. Our future meeting time/date/location...

I'll be giving a call to the brewery soon to make sure nothing special is going on for the 4th. I haven't seen them post anything yet. So as of now the 4th is still a go!

Truck looks great! You're in a beautiful area, a few years ago I summited a couple of the smaller peaks near Mt Marcy in the thick of Winter. It was 0 at the top. Welcome to OB!

You can find Jeep XJs for well under $10k, which I like to recommend as a cheap starter. Hell, I got my first XJ for free. If you can sacrifice the seats and drop the back row you have a good chuck of space back there. The aftermarket builds for XJs are also great. The same could be said for a...

Aggressive? Maybe Nitto Recon Grapplers. I just put on a set of Falken Rubitreks and am very pleased. For deals I would check Walmart occasionally, they run great discounts you just have to gamble sometimes on if you receive the right thing haha. Always check the descriptions, but if you do end...

I finally got out and wired up some aux switches. In the process I also breached the firewall grommets on both the driver and passenger side. You can make a fantastic conduit out of a $3 5/8" heater hose connector from the auto parts store! I also noticed a strange phenomenon due to fuse...

Next time then! Hope the dog is well!

Tomorrow! Let's share a beer and get together, the weather looks fantastic! Actually, I didn't even look up the weather but it's always perfect at the bar!
