Smoky Mountains 1000 - overlander friendly (not too hard). https://www.facebook.com/groups/229150894116972/ Smokey Mountains 500 - 3 day version of the 1000. https://www.facebook.com/groups/698628080200070/ Both of these are routes I developed when I was motorcycling. The roads are...

Is it all suspension lift, or is some of it body lift? What lift kit did the owner use? How does the jeep drive - i.e., is it comfortable at 65 mph? Do you feel any vibration in the stering wheel between 40 -50 mph. Check the frame closely. The center sections were made without drain...

I have had my Garmin Montana for 6 years. I had to replace the battery last year. Besides the battery, it has given me trouble free service on my dirt bike and in my jeep. In that same time I have had 3 phones and 2 tablets. My 2nd tablet is a Samsung Tab A. I like Samsung because they...

I use GPS City for all my Garmin stuff. https://www.gpscity.com/

Big Bend rocks! I've been in Feb and in April. April was much nicer. The winter weather is unpredictable. Anything from 90 degrees to snow is possible. The dirt roads in the parks are mapped on the park handouts. They are all OK for overlanders (read Landcruiser) except for Black Gap...

You have already ordered so my opinion isn't worth much, but...... Lippert suxs. I had a XLR toyhauler and everything on there that Lippert made was junk. I hope your experience is better than mine.

Good movie making. Good narrative. Thanks for posting.

Always have to get some blood into the job.

One more picture...

I'd love to come back to Big Bend in March but it seems unlikely (we are selling our trailer and looking for a motorhome). We were their last year in early April, and the desert was beautiful. We will be wheeling in Missouri this April. We plan and report on our rides on a Facebook Group...

Good movies. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the feedback. I had another reply posted and I deleted it by error trying to make a correction with my IPAD. Here we go again. I am a newby Jeeper my self. I have been on several rides with a large variety of vehicles and everybody always makes it. With that in mind, you could...

I'll close this report with a few random pics. This is Big Don at Ernst Tinaja. We had been told that a Mountain Lion had fallen into the Tinaja and that you could see the scratchs on the rocks where he tried to get out. Don is looking for the scratches. The reflection of the canyon walls...
