Is Overlanding fulltime, still "Overlanding", or are you now just living in a van down by the river? :-) P.S. I'm now full timing it :-)

A few have asked (and many more wondered, I'm sure) why I would invest all this time and money into the Grand Cherokee (ZJ) platform. Let me start by saying, it would not be my first choice if it were my daily driver, or if I had kids. I'd want something newer, nicer, and bigger. However, as a...

This is my story, let's hear yours! Yesterday, while driving back from the British Columbia Overland Rally, my Jeep died. I had it towed to a Jeep dealership in Tacoma, WA. I wrote a post about it, and commented that I thought it might be the ECM, and because that part has been discontinued...

THIS!!! is how you build axles...

I'm not finding what I want on the market, which has got me considering building one myself. Here's the concept... A 4x8 trailer simular to this... But instead of a roof, cut the bottom our of one of these... and use it as the roof. The idea being, you could still sleep in it with the...

Running wires along my roof rack to connect lights. What's the most durable/best looking sleeve?

My friend Sergio Medeiros is putting a pop-up roof in his Defender, and needs to sell his RTT with annex & awning. $700 is a great deal! He and his wife are traveling around the world and I want to help them out by facilitating this transaction. They're coming from Las Vegas to Sacramento this...

Watched @O.Dfj 's rope in action, and decided it was a must-have piece of kit. Soooo much more effective than a tow strap. 1"x 30' with a 31,500lb capacity.

Besides being expensive, and adding more weight up top, sometimes "next to the rig" is not the best place (view) to hang out. I'm thinking about alternatives to the typical vehicle awning (a place to get out of the sun, and rain). What do you think of this?... The dark panel is removable, or...

If you had very little space, and wanted to keep weight to a minimum, but needed more than a couple of Crescent Wrenches, which style would you choose?

I've only seen this done once in person, but I'm seriously considering putting them on the hood. It's the only place on the rig where they'll be easy to get to and aren't in the way. Any reason this is a bad idea? I don't care if it looks weird. Form follows function.

I'm headed to Buena Vista, CO from Sacramento next week (flexible), to pick up my new front bumper and sliders. Any suggestions on dirt road alternatives? Anyone want to go with? Proposed route...
