Same here, I've been using OnX (Offroad) for route planning and sharing. For myself I create a route and markers (campsites, POIs, etc) with information that I'll want off line. Markers all have my notes, photos, other details and are color coded for marker type or based on how sure I am on...

I used Havloc wool insulation for our walls and ceiling. The ceiling I just used fishing line to hold the wool in place until I put the liner back on. For the walls I did small strips of VHB (2-3") to hold the wool sections in place, as well as cutting the wool sections slightly larger to wedge...

Dang, that beast looks like it rolled out of the factory yesterday! GLWS!

I like alot about their build choices and layout, pricing for what it is in today's market is also good I feel. I really like the powder coated alu cabinets, I don't like builds that goldfish their payload needlessly, that's my job :p. Weight is the enemy of off-road. I would like to see a...

I haven't made the leap yet to an e-bike, the US states I tend to ride in most (Montana, Oregon) restrict their trail usage to moto trails only. Our main fatbike usage is bikepacking and all-day winter riding, neither which an e-bike is great for. At least for longer rides. Really wish a shop in...

Our setup is primarily a comfy basecamp for biking/skiing. Mainly have just used a Hollywood Rack over multiple trucks which was one of the earliest with decent offroad cred/features, and could fit both fatbikes and MTBs 10+ years ago. Can just barely open the camper barn doors with the rack...

No surprise, such a great looking build and a great design for skier/bikers! Are there plans for the "next" rig?

If Jeep offered our 05 LJR again I'd buy a 2nd one in a heartbeat, although not for $60K. I have a '22 Gladiator that I do love, but the only thing I'd add to the '05 from a '22 would be the ZF-8 transmission. Probably heresy, I think transmissions are the real unsung heroes. I still love...

Wish I had room for a great 2nd LJ, GLWS

I've had nothing but good experiences with both of the Wildpeak AT3w and Cooper AT3 tires on my trucks. The Discoverer is lighter weight and quieter, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit better on MPG too. I like the Wildpeak better in the winter, although the Discoverer AT3 performed well...

That's what I was thinking, it depends on what reduces the number of fuels I'm carrying. I'd go for a Webasto gas heater with my gas truck to not carry a 3rd fuel. Otherwise I'd do propane because I already cook with propane and am in the States and have no problem finding propane.

We have an OVRLND vertical pop-up with an add-on liner, similar to what FWC has. We actually use it most in the winter and summer. Besides trapping heat for colder temps decently, it really makes a big difference when you can't avoid direct sunlight. So much more comfortable working in our...

Not the complete story, Sport with Max Tow is around 7650 lbs of towing, Rubicon with tow package is 7000lbs towing. I believe the Mojave can get up to 6000. Rubicon you can also use the rear locker in 4 high, it's just not as advertised, I think that was change post first year. My '22 JTR rear...

No affiliation, but damn: Autotrader

Thanks, always good to hear real world experience. We haven't decided, we've been thinking of a larger camping setup though. We actually just got a utility trailer (AT Chaser), that would solve our specific trip space/payload needs, buuuut our '22 Gladiator just developed the Pentastar lifter...
