By the way (and off topic.) Here's what I bought the KHS for. An Xtracycle conversion into a cargo bike. And here's my touring/road bike (one of two I've ever bought new, and the other was an $88 ten-speed back in the early '70s.) (Both can be embiggened my clicking on them.)

This could be nice! Or really, any of the Action Mobil models. I especially like the Atacama 7200 model. But more realistically, I've always had a hankering for a Land Rover Series (probably III) or Defender 110 or 130. Probably from watching too many episodes of Dakar and Tarzan and Jungle...

There is a Yakima MegaWarrior, too. It is a little longer and wider than the RoadWarrior. So if one doesn't fit your rail spacing using U-bilts, the other might. http://amzn.to/1UrozQB

@XPlore Are you looking to remove the roof rails and mount a basket directly to the top of the vehicle? Or do you mean you want to remove the crossbars and mount the basket directly to the roof rails? If the later, it depends on their spacing. The Yakima LoadWarrior is 32-33" wide at the bottom...

Brrr! Window shopping is cold! :smilingimp: @stringtwelve

There's your new motto, @administrator "Overland Bound; The place with the fewest assholes" :smirk:

I'm having a mental block; what was the username before Iron Percheron?

Several of us have the Yakima Road Warrior. It is available with an 18" extension, which makes it pretty useful. Here's a link to some photos of mine with the awning attached and loaded with Plano boxes: Click Me --> #26

Welcome, @XPlore I followed a new Renegade the other day, and commented on the tail lights. Reminds me of old newspaper cartoons where they X-out someone's eyes to show them as dead. I certainly hope the new Renegade keeps on rollin! ;) Glad you found us, Steve

Chime in, Ohio members. Let us know where you are, and where you're from. I'm Steve, and I live a ways west of Cleveland. I grew up in west-central Ohio, on my grandfather's farm near Bellefontaine. Deb and I are retired, and now empty-nesters during the school year. We used to car-camp, but...

Avoid box store bikes like the plague unless you are riding them around the cul-d-sac once or twice a year. In 57 years of riding bicycles, I've only had two new bicycles. Most of my latest have come from eBay or Craigslist. Last year I bought a brand new, unused Trek 970 that sold for $850 in...

@stringtwelve When I was looking for a light bar with good quality for a reasonable cost, I found the OPT7 LED lights had great reviews. My 32" bar has worked out great so far. They are available in various sizes and C1 or C2 versions (older or redesigned.) I got mine on Amazon, but they have an...

Trust me, a month will only whet your appetite. We were traveling for six weeks this fall, and only dabbed our toes into the western parks. And those we did get to, we could have spent considerably more time exploring. Here's our trip report: Steve & Deb's Cross-Country Adventure

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an amazing place, and not to be missed. But it is the most visited national park in the country, and traffic is miserable in the summer. Go there some day, but not summer unless you are extremely patient. (After the entire road is blocked for 1/2 mile...

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :smirk: Neither are appropriate for anything more than smooth asphalt. TurboPlow! We haven't had snow here west of Cleveland so far this year.

Yes, it is. More specifically, it is the unpaved road to Obstruction Point that departs the Hurricane Ridge Road just before the parking lot at the end, where the gift shop and visitor center are located. A beautiful drive in mid-October, with amazing views. I could sit there all day. In fact, I...

@CelsisTaco Welcome, Anthony! We're new kayakers, and Boundary Waters looks like an amazing place to experience. There are a lot of closer places for us to gain experience first, though, before we head out into somewhere like that! I'm glad you found us here at Overland Bound. Amazing people...

I posted on Instagram, and I'll add it here as well. Snow will soon be arriving in northern Ohio, and I'd put a VSSL light in my emergency kit in each of our vehicles. @TreXTerra Don't sign your life away on social media. Create a throwaway email account on Google Mail, and use that to create a...

Pffft... I drive a Subaru, and no one takes them seriously. But from the factory, my Outback has more ground clearance than a Cherokee of Grand Cherokee. Sure, it has longer overhangs, and can't be modified as much. But as someone else noted, Grant at Offroad Subaru has turned his 2015 Outback...

Nothing really outdoor related for Christmas for me this year. Closest would be a couple light wool base layer shirts, but that's what I wear all the time anyway. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at our eldest daughter's home, then on Saturday drove a few hours south to spend four days...
