The adventure starts tomorrow morning at 0330! Thanks for all the help from everyone planning this trip. See you on the flip side!

Yeah, the kid and I don't have to be back until the 1st. My dad is retired, but I thing his wife wants him home sooner. We'll see how it goes the last couple of days. lol We'll check out the springs for sure. I'd love to got to the Alabama Hills to do some photography, but I don't think it...

No pictures of the install, but I just finished installing an Air Lift 1000 Series Rear Air Spring Kit in the Jeep. I needed to address some sagging from the weight (for a while now, not just this trip) in the rear. With all the extra weight for the trip and the trailer, I wanted to sort it...

I'm still going back and forth on that myself! I'm thinking the fridge, dry foods, clothes and my camera gear will go in the Jeep. The trailer will have the one of the Pelican cases with recovery gear, some spare parts and tools in it, the two CO2 tanks, the 40lbs propane tank, 55 gallons of...

Thanks for update... the beach must be a nice change of pace! That second pic make the tongue of the trailer look really long. How long is it?

The first time I used the high lift on my jeep, I did not secure the axle and I had to jack the Jeep up crazy high to change the tire (35" at the time). Then someone passed this tip on to me and it made the next tire change less scary. lol

Maybe reserved was a bad choice of words. I bought the Weekend with Camping package. And I have no clue about were Rocky Mountain OB members would be. I'm not actually a member yet.

I just reserved the on site camping for the weekend. I'll be there in my JKUR (below) and my buddy will be in his TJ.

How much lift do you get out of that thing? I'm running on 37's and wonder if that would work for me when placed under the axels. Use a ratchet strap to secure your axle to the frame when lifting from the body with the high lift. That will remove most of the suspension droop issue you see in...

I've used my Hi-Lift twice in the last 4 years and another person in our group used it another time. So, 3 times in 4 years. I'll continue to carry and use it, but there are times I wished I had a different/better way of lifting the Jeep. The ARB exhaust jack has always looked interesting to...

I'll be following along as well. I've looked at the TAT a couple of times and also noticed the lack of non motorcycle details. It's too bad you are planned to reach Westcliffe CO in the middle of the week. My mom has a place down there and if it was over a weekend, we could me you for a night...

This is a very cool build! Thanks for sharing from down south in Colorado Springs.

Here is a little update showing some of the trip prep work. I removed the 60 portion of the rear 60/40 bench seat to give more storage space inside the Jeep. My 7 year old son will still occupy the remaining seat. To make the area more useable, I built a platform to level it at with the back...

I had not, but I'll keep them in mind for next time. Here is what the back looks like: That's the one! I can't find that mount anywhere any longer. I did order this setup and it seems to work okay, but I'd still rather have the actual mount for this inReach. The belt clip mount I...

Hi @punk and @NorCalCrisp . My father, myself and my son will be in DV starting this this Saturday through next Saturday (23rd March to 29 March) doing the back country thing. You can see my planned route and just planning in general in my thread "Overland Alzheimer's: Death Valley"

Thanks @HappyOurOverlanding , @Texarado , and @MTNYOTA . I hope to have some photos to upload this weekend of the rear platform I built and the trailer setup I'm using for this trip.

I have the Odin Designs Type E and am really happy with it. It is basically a Tepui tent (made at the same factory with the same materials depending on model). The two big factors in the original purchase was location (the company is in Castle Rock CO, about 40mins from home) and that they...

Has anyone with a Dometic portable fridg (mine is the CFX-50w) ever had their interior light/lamp flash while the door is open? I'm not talking about the status LEDs on the control panel, but the actual lamp that lights up the interior compartment. It is a steady flash the entire time the lid...

Are you staying in the back country are returning to civilization at the end of each day? If the latter, you should be fine. Even crawling you should be able to manage 250+ miles on a tank. Planning on runs longer than that?

For anyone wanting to do something similar for an inReach SE, here are the parts that you would need to make it work: RAM Mounts Naholder RAM Mounts Diamond Base with 1" Ball RAM Mount Double Socket Arm for 1" Ball (you can get shorter or longer if you like) RAM Mount Zinc Coated U-Bould...
