I don't think carrying a spare tire is "doubling down". To me it is the bare minimum. If you want to bring all the tools and equipment to fix a tire thats great. But I don't want you with my group if you're not carrying a spare. You are a liability.

Oh that would be me! I have quite a bit of experience using a tent cot. We took a couple of them on a trip we took to Canada (and ran the Dempster Highway on this particular trip). Ours was made by Cabela's. Girl not included (bummer). Shown without the rainfly attached. Double sized...

That one linked above looks like it has two rivets holding the hammer's head inside a thin aluminum tube. I can see that breaking there the first time you really get into it hammering. The Snow Peak one looks nice, but way too expensive for me for the rare times I'd be using it. I'll stick...

So to kinda close the loop, I bought the little baofeng uv-25x2 radio. Haven’t really got to play with it much, but am looking forward to it.

I think of a full sized spare mounted on a matching rim as "necessary" weight, not "extra" weight. I agree with the occasional gear inventory though, I'm guilty of wanting to take a lot of stuff.

A full-sized tire and rim weighs what... 60 to 90 pounds depending on the tire size and type of rim (steel vs. aluminum)? Your vehicle weighs anywhere from 4000 pounds to 8000 pounds? How is deleting the spare really going to make a difference in total weight and gas mileage? Don't be...

Yes. A full-size matching spare. I laugh when I see a Jeep with 35" tires and a 28" spare hanging on the back. I had to loan my spare once to someone on a trail run as I was the only one with the matching bolt pattern and tire size for his Jeep. Pissed me off watching him bouncing his Jeep...

My subscription auto renewed this month, so I'm good through 2023. I did not install Gaia on all the devices on the same date. The iPad was probably a good year later (at least) after I first got Gaia. It is weird I only get the notice on the iPad.

On my Apple iPad using Gaia in the bottom right hand corner there's a notice saying Grace Period SUBSCRIBE NOW. When you click on it, the next screen says "Gaia GPS is not a part of the Outside family. Members of Outside can use their existing account info to log in with Gaia GPS". This...

I've got this on my trailer. It is kinda Land Rover-ish. I guess my trailer wasn't exactly level last night - close enough.

How about a pintle hitch? Is that an "industry standard"?

A ZJ would also be a good option, even with the 4.0. Shown below is the one we built for a trip up the Dempster Highway a few years ago. 98 ZJ 4.0/auto. 3.5" IRO lift, Bilstein 5100 shocks, a real Dana 44 rear (NOT A DANA 44A!) with 4.10 gears and true-tracs front and rear. 31x10.5x15"...

I can see folks slipping the clutch when geared wrong with larger tires.

What are they rated.

PM sent.

As already mentioned... maybe something thin. Otherwise it won't fold flat. Mine is a Cabela's double tent cot, and is currently mounted on the top of my trailer as an RTT with a custom cover made for it. Before that my buddy and I took two of them (double tent cots) on an extended trip...

I don't recall anyone mentioning the Daystar jugs. They mount to the spare tire carrier, and hold two gallons of water. Daystar Universal Cam Cans (daystarsuspensionparts.com) Daystar Cam Can Complete Kit - KJ71035TN | 4wheelparts.com I've got one on the back of my lil' adventure trailer...

Of course you can join us! It would be great (not required but would be nice) if you joined Overland Bound ($30.00 or so depending on if you want a metal emblem or not), and then register as a participant for the trip so you're kept in the loop. US Northwest - Idaho BDR (and then some!) |...

You asked. I'm running an LT235/75/15" C-rated M&S tire on my lil' trailer on 15x7" rims (they also sell the exact tire in a "P" rating, but I wanted something a little more heavy duty). Fully loaded, I believe the trailer weighs in around 1200 lbs. Looking at the tire's sidewalls (I just...

Thanks! Surely (don't call me Shirley) there's someone in your area that would let you go for a ride in their TJ to see what it is like. Isn't there a club around you somewhere?
