    How much does your expo Jeep weigh?

    Sorry for the delay, I just saw the message. I admit, it's a little creaky at times here and there but I've never really noticed "air" noise on the highway or any more than the rest of the jeep and knobby tires. Lock-tight is necessary for every jeep owner. .

    How much does your expo Jeep weigh?

    I have the smittybilt tent and it works very well on my smittybilt roof rack. The rack was extremely reasonable, price-wise when compared to everyone else and I've abused it for the last two years and it's still going strong. I did replace all the nuts with locking nuts and washers to reduce...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab A & GPS without WiFi

    I was able to effectively use the Gaia GPS maps with my tab A to get me through the Kentucky adventure trail in the woods of Kentucky/Virginia/West Virginia and worked fairly flawlessly. Only a few minor issues which I attributed to the tracks I downloaded and not the GPS tracking.

    JK Battery?

    I'm not sure I would mount/charge/run a battery in the cabin of my vehicle without proper ventilation at the very least. I also don't know everything some of these other guys know however I run a dual battery system in my JK. I used the rugged ridge tray which is sturdy, a pain in the ass to...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I recently completed a large portion of the Kentucky adventure tour and brought my marlin lever action (because it's fun and not a "scary" assault rifle) and actually used it at the free Kentucky state owned firing ranges. I traveled from Mass with it locked and unloaded in a case out of reach...

    Medical Kit Containers: Bag vs Hard Case

    If you're working on an expedition with medications and a team then I understand that. For insurance purposes they probably require that you carry all that equipment on a long term expedition. I'm talking more overlanding where it's not your job, and you don't have access to cardiac meds and...

    Medical Kit Containers: Bag vs Hard Case

    I'm wondering what the purpose of carrying BP cuffs/O2 monitors and the like are for some? If you're in the wilderness far away from help/EMS/hospital what good with diagnostic equipment do with nothing to treat with?

    Grand Canyon Experts; Sleeping Bag Rating Question?

    I've backpacked through the Grand Canyon and it does get very hot. It's much hotter in the canyon than it is on the rim. However, I doubt that you will find much of a difference between a 15 deg bag and a 40 deg bag other than the weight of it because you'll probably be sleeping on top of it...

    Survival survey for a paper due

    Some good questions. I've done quite a bit of backpacking and one of the things I've found is that planning/needs/necessities are very environment dependent. Obviously research must be completed thoroughly ahead of time. Some very simple math is needed to determine the amount of water needed...

    How do you keep your winch secure?

    All I remember is the way my after market bumper is set up you needed to contort your hands like a small child and crush then into a tiny spot in order to tighten the bolts on both the bumper and the winch. After installing, I remember thinking "thank god that's done". If someone gets it off...

    In Gaia which maps do you like?

    I love mapbox outdoors but it takes forever to load a large quantity of them. I also like the topo for wherever I'm going because I find it very useful. The zoom I prefer is whatever will get me closest and download in a reasonable amount of time. At least 15

    who is using a real gps vs a tablet

    I'm using a tablet with Gaia and have been very happy so far with it. I also use a touch screen laptop with a usb globalsat GPS puck (is that what you mean by real gps?) which is what I had prior to the tablet but I also still carry for backup. And of course paper maps and a compass because...

    Wrangler Tool Kit

    Great list! I carry most of that stuff in my tool kit. I'm going to take lessons from that because I've only added tools to my kit as I've seen fit to use them on my jeep. I'm also not a mechanic but have done all my own work so I get a little paranoid it will fall apart on the trail. Volt...

    I have the Galaxy Tab A with Gaia GPS and it works amazing. Hopefully you've figured out the issue

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    Does anyone have experience bringing a rifle across multiple state lines? Obviously the laws are usually well stated when it comes to concealed carry but it's more confusing when it comes to rifles.

    Need new shocks - AEV 2.5" DS lift - your thoughts?

    I'm curious, do you think they need to be replaced at this time? I'm just wondering as sometimes they last longer than expected and maybe you could save some coin that way?

    Firearms and reservation land

    Hello everyone, I tried the search function and wasn't able to pull much up on this. I'm sure many have encountered similar issues. I've traveled somewhat extensively throughout the south west and even though I'm licensed I've never carried. I will be traveling out that way again this spring...
