    Runaway Campers....

    It's been a long time since I've been here but I saw a notification about Runaway trailers. I've had my Venturist for two years now. It's absolutely awesome. I've taken it off road several times with zero issues. I even towed it to California and back from Massachusetts. Zero issues and it...

    Runaway Campers....

    Hey, Jeff. I haven't got it yet. The plant in Florida had to close down for a bit but it's up and running again. I called the factory last week to confirm this. Mine was supposed to be here in April. I don't have it yet but I'm hoping it will be here any day! Mike at XYZ has been very...

    Go Tread vs Max Traxx?

    I drove to my local sportman's club today. It's located on top of a mountain at the end of a closed, dead end road. After driving up the unplowed road without incident I got stuck in the flat parking area by the pavilion. Lucky for me I used a shovel and firewood from inside the pavilion to...

    Runaway Campers....

    That's kind of where I am with the Venturist. I'm ordering one with certain specs I want and I'll still have money left over for other gear. I like the Venturist because it comes standard with what others charge you extra for (33" tires, brakes, full off road frame, timbren axles, max coupler)...

    If you have the time do it. You won't regret it. I'm not sure how old your kids are but if they're little I'd wait. My kids were 13, 15, and 17 when we went. They were old enough to endure long days, big enough to be a genuine help, and more importantly able to really appreciate what we were...

    Tires - Road Comfort vs Trail Performance

    I run two sets of tires for my Jeep JKU which is my DD as well, one for winter and one for summer. In the summer I run ProComp MT2s. They have an aggressive tread that is seemingly able to get through anything. I've never had a problem with them but they are a bit noisy. I kind of like that...

    what is your go-to tire?

    I run two sets of tires for my Jeep JKU which is my DD as well, one for winter and one for summer. In the summer I run ProComp MT2s. They have an aggressive tread that is seemingly able to get through and over anything. I've never had a problem with them but they are a bit noisy. I kind of...

    Hello, everyone! I'm new here so here's my intro. I currently live in western Mass but my mind is always out west. I have a 2010 Jeep JKU that I've been slowly modifying myself as time and money permits. Soon I'll be adding a trailer to my kit! My overlanding experience is varied. I'm a...

    Runaway Campers....

    Hey everyone. I've been researching small off road trailers for a few months now. I've narrowed it down to two options; the Runaway Venturist and the Hiker Trailer Extreme Off-Road Deluxe. My goal is to find a sturdy trailer that's easy to tow behind my Jeep JKU, is easy to maintain meaning...
