    Smittybilt Overland XL RTT-New product.

    Should be selling my 2783 today. If that sells, I will be looking for a 2883, looks like it's $1099 everywhere currently. Was hoping there would be some father's day sales going on, but nothing yet.

    4Runner made it out to Colorado this year, it was a first for it and myself. I always thought it would be in my Jeep, but the 4R did great. Black Bear Pass Near Imogene Pass Camp site on Stony Pass Kite Lake at Stony Pass

    Colorado 2017 in a 4Runner and a Renegade

    Yea, I actually met a couple of the TO guys at a gas station passing through Silverton. Good people. Thanks, they are from Overlook Graphics, it's just a large rectangle that was cut to fit the shape of my windshield. They're cheap enough, but I'd probably have a local tint/graphic shop make...

    Colorado 2017 in a 4Runner and a Renegade

    Lucky, I wish it was in my backyard. My wife wants to go next time, but I'm trying to convince her to go to Moab. Right now I am planning a trip for next year. We're going to drive from TX to Banff, B.C. He likes to think it can go anywhere because it says Jeep on it, but a stock Renegade with...

    Thank you very much. I try to keep a good attitude when things don't go as planned and be responsible. So this is my first really big trip by myself and I don't have all of the little things down yet. For one, I don't have a good GPS setup. I plugged my routes into Google Maps and just went...

    Day 5 cont.: By now it was about 1:30 pm. We hadn't planned for so much free time...I was filling kinda crappy from allergies, so we packed up camp and went back into Silverton for a solid meal instead of camp food. We went to Eureka Station and ordered steak. Daniel was craving dessert, and...

    Which lead us to Kite Lake. I really liked this place, which is good because the 4Runner got some nice pinstriping to make it there. We decided to head back down the trail to find a place to camp. Right next to the river and a small water fall.

    Camping at Alta Lakes Shower area. Quesadillas for dinner. Apparently they cook s'mores in Colorado differently than in Texas... Day 5 We packed up camp and headed over to Stony Pass. The CO trails guidebook said that it would be an all day trail, so this was all that was planned for...

    Imogene Pass cont.: At the base of IP. I had planned for possibly four different campsites in this area (Thistledown Campground, Angle Creek Campground, Amphitheater Campground, Ouray KOA). ALL of them were packed to capacity, so we drove back to the trails to look for a spot. We set up camp...

    BBP cont.: Bridal Veil Falls We finished up BBP and immediately made our way over to Imogene Pass the trail I was looking forward to almost as much as BBP. From the rough road leading up to IP you can see the switchbacks of BBP. On Imogene 4Runner took it look a champ.

    Day 2 Cont.: That night we camped at the Nellie Creek trail head, surrounded by Birch and Aspen trees. We had hot dogs for dinner around a warm campfire. We hung hammocks and went to sleep, temperatures got down to mid to high 30*s. My dumb self took pictures of the awesome campsite, but...

    Colorado 2017 in a 4Runner and a Renegade

    Day 2 Cont.: Things got interesting quickly, on the easiest trail we would run for the trip. Daniel found out that the little 4 banger and lack of a true low gear would make it a bit of a challenge for the Renegade to make it up the steep hills with rocks bouncing him around. At one point, he...

    Colorado 2017 in a 4Runner and a Renegade

    This trip showed me that I don't need to dump thousands of dollars into a rig to take me where I want to go like I have with my Jeep. I am still going to buy some fun things for the 4R, but I don't think I'll be going crazy with mods for it. I was very impressed with how capable the Pro is in...
