    Overland Expo West 2015

    Rocky Mountain Overland is getting a group together from Denver. They are doing highway miles to minimize travel time but plan to camp together. I'm sure anyone is welcome to tag along with them. http://rockymountainoverland.com/forum/index.php?threads/2015-overland-expo.457/

    rear bumper recommendations

    I'm running the AEV rear bumper and I think it meets all your requirements. I also have the Gobi rack and they make a special bracket to mount to the AEV bumper. It took some time to install but I did it myself so nothing too hard.

    Working on my setup

    As someone who really respects the amount of work that went into a project like that I absolutely hate the fact someone would rip it out. Just makes me sick as I would be devastated.

    Getting Stuck & How You Got Out? Need Some Help!

    Ive been stuck multiple times but I figure if you aren't getting stuck you're not learning. The last time I got stuck my wife and I were up snowshoeing. We saw a parking area right off the road and not thinking swerved in. The problem was the area hadn't been plowed all year and we immediately...

    Here is a test of AWD and 4WD.

    Great video and I agree it was eye opening. I always had a sneaking suspicion that some of claims made weren't as accurate as they should of been. I guess I'll stick with my old fashioned manual transfer case.

    On Board TV antenna setup

    Just a FYI, the digital signal doesn't work well in a moving vehicle so if you were hoping to have something for the kids to watch on a road trip it won't do a very good job. The range of most DTV stations is also somewhat limited. For around town it may not be very bad but if you get too remote...

    IBEX MULTI-MOUNT CARRIER FOR AEV CARRIER

    I have lost all confidence in them. Like others, I was talking to them and then nothing. If they can't respect the customer enough to respond then they don't need my money, even if they decide to pop back up for a second time.

    Accessing Water

    I've been working on setting my Jeep up for some fun adventures with a fridge and chuck box. Right now I'm trying to decide what to do with my water. I've been trying to make everything look as close to factory and as finished as possible and can't decide the best way to access water. Right now...

    Beat to Death Roof Rack Questions?

    I spent a lot of time looking at racks and felt both the AEV and Gobi were great quality. I ended up getting my Gobi installed yesterday and love it. My needs were slightly different as I don't want a rack on unless I need it in an effort to cut down on noise and increase mpg. That was what...

    Benchmark Maps: App for Colorado or Utah

    They are rewriting the mobile platform to handle both iOS and Android platforms. When they release the new framework they are also planning to release the rest of the western states. Right now they are hoping for a release in mid to late summer of 2014.

    Washer and Dryer

    Anyone think of bringing a washer and dryer with them? http://www.usatoday.com/story/driveon/2013/10/31/toyota-rav4-sema-triathletes/3328663/ Of course it would need to compliment a custom bike rack, shower, fridge and blender.

    RTT Size? 1.4m vs 1.6m

    I'm getting ready to finally get a RTT. Right now I'm leaning toward a Howling Moon Stargazer in either the 1.4m or 1.6m size, of course that may change since Bundugear.com hasn't returned any of my emails or phone calls so they may have fallen off the face of the earth. The tent will only be...
