    Overlanding with Your Dog: Jennifer & Monty

    I took Ellie to Moab with me last week and was dismayed I couldn't enter the National Parks with her but we explored outside the parks and had a blast. She's great about riding in the truck all day long except when we run over cattle guards. She HATES that noise and vibration. I also think she...

    Rear Tire Carrier With Stock Bumper

    ALNSM's build thread shows how he and Robert made a custom dual swingout for his Forester. For more ideas. :)

    ALNSM Overland Rig - 97' SF5 Subaru Forester.

    That is beyond awesome man! A perfect addition to your rig that is both very functional and looks great. Well done.

    I drink from both of mine on every trip and no weird taste. :)

    A Early Year Olympics Trip

    In the mean time you might comsider a 4ton or higher comealong and some chain or straps. Have you found any custom mounts for your rig with a Google search that you can copy? How about front 2" hitch mounts? You can put a winch mount on that too. If you do a hitch mount it can go on the rear as...

    Spring Break to MOAB

    I wanted to do White Rim after reading your report but then found out dogs are not allowed in the parks. I camped in Moab and just did day trips on various trails in the area.

    A Early Year Olympics Trip

    Sometimes they are great and sometimes they just don't work and a winch or comealong can save the day! Be extra prepared. Haha

    A Early Year Olympics Trip

    Very cool! Snow is weird. Sometimes I can plow through the deep stuff or float on top of the crust for miles and miles. This weekend I drove for quite some time on La Sal Pass Trail (Utah) until I hit snow. It didn't look deep, maybe 1.5" deep, so I tried to continue and didn't get more than...

    Quick Salton Sea and Joshua Tree trip

    Thanks for sharing the adventure. I've heard of those places (the desert "towns").

    Quick overnight trip

    Agreed. Sometimes the short unplanned trips are the most needed and best use of our time. :)

    Off the Grid Trail Blazer 2.0 Pants

    I have 2 pair and while I really like them they shrink terribly if we put them in the dryer. You can sorta stretch them back out if you get them wet again. The waist is a little loose and the legs are tight. I'm 6'3" and 175lbs with chicken legs. These pants should not look like skinny jeans on...

    New to NorCal. Looking to explore!

    Hi Paul, I recommend grabbing a guide like this. The companion website also offers listings for trails with downloadable GPX tracks that are readily opened with GAIA or Google Earth. https://funtreks.com These will help you get out and explore until you find more off-road friends in the...

    Planning a trip to Moab

    I just got back from exploring some of the trails out there and for family friendly trails and jaw dropping views I recommend Hurrah Pass and Onion Creek Trail/Road. Gemini Bridges has a lot to offer too. The OHV park trails are not what I'd call scenic and while challenging the pace due to...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I unloaded the truck and washed off some of the dirt,sand and mud. Then inspected her for any damage the resulted from our fun in Moab. I found some minor scratches on the front bumper cover, tow rings and passenger side bumper step. The cheap Tyger step bars are scratched from end to end on...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It's pretty amazing! I highly recommend Hurrah Pass through to Chicken Corners. The scenery is jaw dropping. Gemini Bridges is very scenic too. I'll put together a trip report and list my favs. Unfortunately I cannot enter the National Parks with my doggo co-pilot so I'll miss out on those...
