Making a christmas list so I'm looking into this same question. I currently have a CB in my rig with a big antenna. Wouldn't mind switching over to GMRS but I don't do much with other people anyways so cheap is good!

Good to hear you enjoyed it! Any suggested stops along the way or tweaks to the route?

I called up the Ashton field office last Thursday and they said it was open. I wonder if they were missing something? Maybe I'll call again to confirm.

I'm planning a 3 day/2 night overlanding route in and around the Tetons. I've been to GTNP and given that I've lived here in SE Idaho for 7 years now I feel I've got a decent understanding of things over here on my side of the mountains. However, I've never really ventured through much of...

@kalinut You're going to be a few weeks ahead of me! Bummer. I'm going to throw this up on the general thread in the event this thread doesn't get seen here but I'm planning a 3 day/2 night overlanding route in and around the Tetons. I've been to GTNP and given that I've lived here in SE Idaho...

So my vehicle (Land Rover LR3) has four single bolt factory mounting points on each side. So, 8 in total. They're all waterproofed from the factory (I've tested to make sure :)) I hope to have a RTT up there soon. Maybe a full sized spare and some water/gas/pelican cases when no RTT. Probably...

So if you were me you’d mount directly to the cross bars?

The bottom of the side rail is the contour of the roof. Each bracket becomes increasingly offset to cope with the non-square roof, pushing this main side rail further out towards the edge of the roof

I’m working with a local fabricator to design and build a prinsu-style roof rack as they don’t make one for my vehicle. My fabricator now wants me to consider mounting directly to the extruded aluminum cross bars instead of to the side rails like prinsu racks do. The reason being that the roof...

These batteries list the following temperature ranges:

One reason for this is I already have 8 of these sitting in my garage and I'd like to make use of them

I recently build a LiFePO4 battery for a café racer motorcycle project as my primary power source that worked out really well. I'm looking to add a secondary battery to my rig for accessories, etc. I wanted the community's advice/opinion on this as I've never ran a secondary battery before and...

Anybody done the rest of this from Moab to Idaho?

Just read through some of this thread for the first time and it looks like I'm missing out on a ton of fun! I'm currently in my first year of ownership of a vehicle that I would consider even remotely capable of overlanding or off roading. We have a solid group of off roaders out here in...

A group of us are planning a trip next summer and want to run the Utah BDR in reverse. Currently the plan is to do a day in Moab and then head north towards the Idaho border. I read that it might be more difficult in this direction. Does anyone have any insight into why this might be true or any...

We're there from the 9th to the 11th of July

Unfortunately the only thing I’ve found at a reasonable price is a Uhaul box truck that we’re going to have as our “RV” for the weekend! $20/day and $1/mile. Let’s hope it works!

Yeah I was thinking some kind of mechanical way to secure it at the corners and then maybe some hot glue to keep it in place. Criss cross in an X and then slide the dishes underneath with the layers of foam stuff. Need to test but I'll toss it up here if I ever succeed with this

I'm about to start cutting plywood for a kitchen drawer system for my LR3 this weekend and I'm trying to wrap up the design for the small drawers. One question that I haven't answered yet is regarding the dishes/pot/pan. I'd like to secure them in place somehow and not have them bouncing around...

Thanks everyone! I check almost every day and there are literally zero available cars/trucks/vans/etc. Zero RVs available on Outdoorsy. I think I may have to go the Uhaul route....
