I am considering a trip to the North Rim of the GC in April. I know the main road into the park is closed until May 15th but are the off-road routes also gated into the park? Specifically I'd like to get to some of the overlooks on the North Rim like Toroweap, SB Point, Whitmore Point, Kelly...

I have a friend that is looking to do some small upgrades to their 2018 LR4. Can anyone recommend a shop in the SF Bay Area that can do the work, preferably in the South Bay/Peninsula? Primarily they want to add slightly larger (31.5) AT tires/wheels that may require a small lift, a rack and...

I searched around the archives a bit but didn't see anything recent. My wife signed us up for a 3000 mile 10 stage rally (Baja XL) down to Cabo and back in late January. The rally starts in Tecate and ends in Tijuana. I had a few questions. 1. I sounds like Baja Bound is a good source for...

Ok, who knows of any good sales happening this week? 1. REI 2. Rago Fabrication 3. ?

I use 5 gallon Wavian Jerry cans but my Colorado has double doors in the filler neck requiring the extra long self sealing adapter to be used on the Jerry can. I'm not sure what it's like with the standard adapter but the one I have to use takes forever to dump 5 gallons into the truck and all...

I was wondering if there are any recommended trails near Shaver Lake that have nice dispersed camping opportunities. I wanted to take some newbies down and thought we’d spend the first night at Camp Edison then find some more remote camping for a night or two depending on how they do. Are any...

I've been researching this decision but, due to my limited experience, can't seem to come to a conclusion. I live in the Bay Area and my trips are West Coast centric. I know the Yaesu is $100 cheaper on sale right now, but is also on backorder and I'm not too concerned about the price...

Does anyone have any recommendations on propane bottle sizes? I'm running a pickup with modular 12" bed rack so I could mount it in the rear corner of the bed (with an AT Overland mount) and feed my 2 burner stove and, when needed, a heater for the RTT. I was thinking there may be a way to...

Looking for some advice on lens color for lighting. I will be using a bumper that integrates a 30" Baja Designs light bar and has 2 Baja Design lower flush mounts on the sides. I was also planning to add some ditch lights on the A pillars. I don't have a lot of experience with amber lenses...

I'm trying to decide between an iPad Mini and a regular iPad. They are both about $550 for the GPS/Cellular versions. The new iPad Pro 11" is about the same physical size as the iPad but double the cost. I will be mounting it in a Chevy Colorado ZR2 and don't want to take up too much space...

Wondering if people have opinions on bed racks for my ZR2 pickup. I have a RTT coming for Xmas and need to get a rack to mount it. I am leaning toward a 12" modular rack from CBI, Datin or Relentless. I like the idea of keeping the tent lower but maintaining some room to mount things on the...

I'm new to using the GAIA app but was playing with it today while on an airplane from San Jose to LA. I thought it was supposed to be able to use the GPS even without cell service to track a route. I started recording a track during take off in San Jose. My location icon didn't move from San...
