    Best metal fab shop in NorCal for custom off-road bumper with split swing boxes on F550

    Hey OB crew, I have an EarthRoamer that I want to replace the rear bumper on that has a single 6ft slide-out aluminum storage box. I want to replace that with a new custom bumper that has double swing-out aluminum boxes. They switched to split boxes after we purchased ours and they don’t want to...

    A few pics from our Moab trip in September

    We had a great 8 day trip to Moab in September. We didn't do anything too difficult...but spectacular scenery and enough steep trails with cliffs and some nice rock ledges to keep it interesting. We did Chicken Corners, Beef Basin and Shafer Switchbacks. We were going to add Lathrop Canyon...

    Aluminum welding shop

    Does anyone have a welding fabrication shop that is great with aluminum, reasonably priced and has good practical design knowledge? I have a heavy custom spare tire mount that I would like to convert from steel to aluminum to save some weight. I am in Los Gatos, so someone in the South Bay...

    Trusted Jeep shop in CA Bay Area

    Does anyone have a shop they really like that knows Jeeps? I have a 2013 Jeep JKU with a 3” lift and 35’s, but the steering is very sloppy. I know Jeeps (especially lifted) are known to wander a bit, but mine seems excessive. I would like to take it to a shop that REALLY knows Jeeps and get...

    Recommended trails for larger overlanding rigs

    We have an overlanding rig that is on the large side and like to use it for extended trips. We like to go to Baja, Sierras, deserts, CA, AZ, UT, CO, NM, etc...and are not afraid to do challenging trails. Unfortunately many of the trails in the Sierras are very tight for a rig H 10.5' x W 8' x...

    Favorite trails close to the Bay Area (not Hollister)

    My son just got a 2005 4Runner and I would like to find some moderate trails close to the Bay Area to explore with his rig and our JKU. His 4R has a 3" lift/ToyTec suspension, 33's and custom bumpers, so it is setup pretty well for the trails. I would appreciate any recommendations people have...

    Swamp Lake in the Sierra National Forest

    Have any of the OB members been into Swamp Lake in the Sierra National Forest using the shorter North-to-South route? I have the Wells/Peterson guides to CA backroads and they list it as difficult. I consider myself more of an overlander than a wheeler, but like to have good fishing lakes as...
