Love the new app! Only thing I noticed is that I couldn’t update the rigs portion of my profile. If I click in the field to start typing the keyboard covers the field so I can’t see where I’m at or what I’m typing. If I try to scroll the screen up to see the field, it resets the page and the...

With all the wildfires in the western US right now, I thought it might be a good idea to get a simple thread going to discuss the kinds of fire suppression gear you should / could carry in your rig when you're off-grid. There are numerous laws and regulations that govern this topic and I'm sure...

So my wife and I have a crazy idea. We want to sell our home and downsize much of what we have. With no mortgage debt, this will allow us to move to an area, live there for a few months, explore all the area has to offer, and then relocate to another area. The other option would be to live...

I needed to get the bulk of our recovery gear safely stored down low and provide a place for our dog to ride when we’re on the road. As with anything, it will evolve as we use it but this is a start. Here’s what I came up with and the build along the way. Please note, I’m just learning how to do...

The first major change on our LJ has started. I got the bumper mounted on the LJ with my old Warn M8000 tonight. I still need to weld up a mount for the control box and get it all wired up but I like how it turned out so far. I also took measurements and photos to document how the Jeep looks...

We just got home from our first major adventure with our new Jeep. We flew from Portland OR to Dallas TX and purchased this "bone stock" Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It looks like it's never seen dirt before we purchased it. We then drove it back home nearly 2100 miles with a stop in Moab for a...

I'm a new member in Overland Bound but not new to ham radio. I'm a member of a ham radio club in St. Helens OR. We host a "ham cram" type training session every month (some exceptions during the summer). If anyone is interested in earning their Technician class license or upgrading from...

I'm new to OB and new to the forum. Glad to finally be a member. I've been planning on joining for a while but was waiting till I was able to get a "real" overland rig. I've decided to quit waiting and join as-is. My wife and I love the outdoors and we do a fair amount of long distance hiking...
