12/4/16: Another adventure in glorious AZ. 51 weeks ago my buddies and I wanted to go to the Verde Hot Springs. So we hop in my friends brand new 4runner and go up to Camp Verde and get to the road and...it's closed. I guess they close it after the first snowfall because they don't want city...

For anyone with a Gen 1, someone is selling Sway-a-Way Torsion Bars on craigslist, thought I'd pass it along: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/5903041095.html

It took RRO 20 something days to get me a refund from the date my sliders arrived at their warehouse with me calling them every week bugging them. I agree with all, if you can cancel your order with RRO, and call Wil at Sierra Expeditions he'll set you up and I think they price match.

Very cool, I just bought a tabled on Cyber Monday as well to do something similar.

11/27/16: My interior cargo net post was very popular but when I installed it I never thought to actually sit in the backseat. So like a month later when I did happen to sit back there I noticed that it came way too far forward and it was in the way for the heads of any (albeit rare for me) 2nd...

11/26/16: Another small trip report. Hit the trail with my friend and his LR Discovery II and took the 3 hour drive up to Sheep's Bridge. Though it is a long dirt road, it is in very good shape and you don't even need 2WD if it's not pouring rain. Even though it is an easy trail, and a full...

Very cool, what do you plan on teaching this year at Overland Expo?

I always have troubles with adding lots of photos on this site, looks like some of the pics weren't working so i just added them as thumbnails and hopefully it's good to go now.

What trail was this?

11/6/16 Contd.: On the way back to Escalante we stopped at Dance Hall Rock, where the pioneers hung out for many weeks while the wooden road was being constructed 24 miles south at Hole in the Rock to cross the river. The rock is a natural amphitheater and a perfect concert venue. We hiked on...

11/6/16: November 5th was an action packed day! Today, the 6th was also pretty packed but with less action and a lot more driving. So we wake up and being only 20 miles away from the end of the road and Hole In The Rock, I just have to finish. The road is is in worse shape for the last 20...

11/5/16 Contd.: After we got done with the slot canyon hike it was getting pretty close to sunset. The road was good and Betty had no problem doing 30-50 mph down it (though you have to be watching for the big rut out of nowhere) so we made good time as we headed south in search of a camp spot...

11/5/16 Contd.: Back on the road around noon, heading east towards Escalante. I first heard about Escalante Natl. Monument about 6 months prior by a JK Expo Forum trip report. Escalante is a giant area of land managed by the BLM and since it's not a NP there are a lot less rules and in turn...

11/5/16: Up early again and off to Bryce Canyon Natl. Park. I didn't plan to spend much time here but instead wanted to treat it like the Grand Canyon and just pop in for a quick lookout view. We got there just as a ranger was starting off a geology talk so we listened to that, which was very...

11/4/16 Contd. After we got down from Angel's Landing we were pretty tired but we wanted to go see some other sights outside of Zion the next day so we pushed on and headed up river to the Narrows to check that hike out as well. You have to cross the river and walk from bank to bank as you walk...

11/4/16: The next day we woke up early and headed for Angles Landing. This hike takes about 5 hours and over the course of 2.5 miles you gain 1500 feet of elevation as you climb hand over hand for the last 45 minutes along the spine of a narrow ridge to reach the top. Definitely the coolest hike...

11/03/16: My wife and I decided to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and head up to southern Utah for 4 days. Loaded Up: First Stop: Horseshoe Bend. I've driven by this lookout several times and never took the time to stop. Finally glad I did. After about 30 mins at...

Good question, I've got nothing against the Sports but since they are a different vehicle I just figured a collection of Sport builds would be better as a separate thread rather than including it in this one.

They will need to be rectangular ceramic magnets, if you use a roll of plastic magnet it won't work because they aren't strong enough to attract through the barrier of screen. When I bought the screen at Home Depot, I went down to the magnet aisle and tested out the plastic strip option but they...

10/29/16: 3 things worth noting today: 1. I've 100% decided to remove the front Detroit locker. I can't get used to the way it changes the steering on dirt roads and I don't really ever go on trails that gnarly where being fully locked up is necessary. Stay tuned for that. 2. I got new...
