New to the board, for the most part, new to off roading. Did a light build on a 97' Cherokee a decade ago, which was replaced with a 2002 Nissan Xterra SC 4x4, that was lightly offroaded.

Just added my 2012 Audi Q7 Diesel build to the rig build page. It's going up 3", on 33's.

When we finish that, we'll be working on lifting our Ford Lightning EV, and figuring out some powering solutions for it, to make it a home away from home, likely with a built up trailer, extra battery pack, and mobile panel system.
Hi Shawn,

Hey everyone, I guess it’s my turn now.

My name is Chris Starling and I’m from upstate South Carolina. My rig is 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU on 35’s, as well as 1995 Wrangler YJ on 33’s. Both have been great, but as the family grew our need for the bigger JKU has too. We love camping and I’m trying to grow a love for it in our kids too, which so far has been easy. Being able to do it in a comfortable ride and teaching them to be more self reliant is just a plus. I’ve been into off-roading and camping since before I could drive and being able to combine them is great! I’m looking forward to using the map/app for advice, as well as all of y’alls brains too!

New to the board! Been camping and wheeling for 20 years, fairly new to the overloading. Mostly truck camp out of our tow rig, 2001 Ford F250 7.3L. We have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler and a 1969 Jeepster Commando. Our truck is outfitted with a 23 Zero RTT, 23 Zero 270 awning, shower setup with hot water, 20 gallon tank, solar, inverter, and rear seat delete.

Hey, welcome to the community! I saw your post with the new tires the other day, I'm curious to see how it goes. Definitely unique.

Welcome to the board Adam! That's a sweet Commando, you should post a quick build list on it.
