This is a real sore spot for me. I randomly looked at a few recent threads in different forums and as I went to reply, found they had been locked. Don't we have enough issues with social media not allowing the freedom of expression, whether you agree with what is being said or not? We are all...

Welcome to West Texas. A roughly 10-12k' haboob was kicked up this morning in Lubbock. Winds have been 25-25mph with 60+mph gusts. Haven't had one here in a few years. This is the backside of it as it heads E/SE.

For the purpose of this, if you are giving information that is helpful to deterring if there are offroad/overlanding friendly insurance companies, please include which state you are discussing. Case in point. I just called Geico and confirmed Texas does not allow the types of glass coverage...

Realized I need a dry duffle to make packing easier for me. Current duffle looks cool, but sucks performance wise. Try putting size 14 boots in a 30L bag... The bag I had planned on buying is the Patagonia Black Hole in 55L size, but I am not digging Patagonia's political ramblings and wont...

72 about a week ago. Windchill of 19F last night.

MERUS Adventure Park. Found these guys Facebook. They are buying 6,500 acres in the Palo Duro complex outside Amarillo and making it a private membership only park. Memberships go on sale this Thursday and the park will open early April. Palo Duro is one of Jeep Jamboree sites and am not sure if...

In my quest to remove fuel and water off my roof rack, I found a universal plate from Rotopax and modified it to work with my Smittybilt tire carrier. Pretty simple really. https://rotopax.com/universal-mounting-plate.html?category_id=7 I drilled 3 holes in the center for the 5x5 lug pattern...

What an awesome 9 days of nothing but me and my dog. I learned some great things to apply for suture trips, especially off grid and more importantly, I had an amazing time. Left Sept 28 from Lubbock and stayed in Rio Rancho, NM. Just north of ALBQ, it made it easier for my dog Maximus to cope...

Forgot I had a 2nd pair and found them looking for something else. Brand new, no box, but instructions, bolts, nuts, spacers are all there. Assembled but never mounted or used. Works on 2007-2018 JK/JKU. $70 shipped obo.

So I was viewing satellite views of the Rim Rocker trail and saw something interesting. Found a video for it and it looks less traveled with cooler topography and puts us further north of Moab instead of pavement coming north on 191 into Moab. Essentially take Rim Rocker from Montrose to Nucla...

Leaving in a week for Stony Pass, Ouray and Rim Rocker. Trying to find up to date fire restriction info, primarily for dispersed camping. Anyone have a resource that is up to date? I found this, but most of the posts don't have dates. Ouray County is restriction free, but San Juan is not...

Looks like there were no accidents or injuries, but I am guessing something failed after all the rain and didn't pass inspection. Looks to reopen by mid next week...

I had started down the rabbit hole with my 2016 Oscar Mike JKU. Bumpers, interior bits, etc, but nothing too big. My son was driving it, a woman ran a red light and totaled it. He walked away without a scratch, insurance paid up, wife found a new JKU. She wanted a color that popped, not a...

Rotopax OEM Hinge Mount. Bolts into place over the OEM hinges. Is adjustable up to a 35" tire and will not hit the passenger taillight when adjusted all the way out. Was mounted for a few months. Small scuff where the pak mount was installed but can not be seen when the mount or canister are...

Monsoon showers in the San Juan Mountains have closed Imogene Pass, Bridal Veil Falls Road and Via Ferrata closed due to mudslides. Hikers some vehicles are/were stuck yesterday but everyone has since been removed. Mud measuring 3-4' deep x 35' wide took out the trails. Looks like they hope to...

Looking for rig to rig handheld comms for a group of 4 rigs going to Ouray/Silverton/Evans/RMNP. Most of the time we will be together, but may be away from one another for photo ops, spotting, etc. Not sure where to start.

I never really took the time to watch a lot of videos on others travel across this or any other country . I read Dan Grecs book and enjoyed it (but I will stop there). Began with BROG videos, early TrailRecon before he became a true sellout, a few others and finished some Lifestyle Overland...

Black Trasharoo spare tire bag. Sold.

Wife said she wanted a rolling cooler, Yeti style (rotomolded) and durable for our father's day trip to Taos Mountain. I happened to be at Wallyworld and looked at the offerings. They had one of the 45q Ozark rollers in stock at $149. Right size to put behind the jump seat in the JKU, 45q is...

I have the single carbon arm, universal phone clamp and need to upgrade to a dual ball setup. I emailed 67design and they do not manufacture a tablet/ipad clamp/mount and suggest one on Amazon from Joby. It does not look like it will clamp well in offroad and bouncing conditions. It only clamps...
