    New Years Day Trail Ride

    What's the best way to start the new year? By going trail / forest road riding with friends of course! A local overlander here in Chattanooga TN put together the second annual New Years Day Trail Ride. We all met at a gas station just outside of the Cherokee National Forest before setting off...

    Thanks Kev! I was hoping to work on it some this weekend, but alas I'm on call. May have some more camping pics soon. There is a group camping trip in two weekends I'm considering joining.

    RTT Expedition Trailer V2.0

    So after a few thousand miles, my trailer is back in Birmingham where we built it. We've got a few things we'd like to finish up now that the big trips for the season are over. We are finishing the trailgate, building in the steps on the side, and possible adding some shelves and drawers inside...

    In that case I'd say go for it. Just make sure to have your nav so you can detour if needed. It's an awesome week of trails, backroads and camping.

    Kentucky Adventure Tour 2016

    Do you value your paint? If the answer is no, then you can probably make it through most sections of the trip. :sombrero: There are bypasses for most of the sections that we had trouble. My jeep is pretty scratched up and i'm 7 inches narrower than you. The little washed out bridge could be a...

    Kentucky Adventure Tour 2016

    KAT Day 1 Day 1: In case you were not aware, 3:30 AM is really to early for most human beings to function. In spite of this fact that’s what time my alarm went off on Saturday June 25th. Fortunately my excitement motivated me to crawl out of bed take a quick shower and load the jeep up with the...

    Kentucky Adventure Tour 2016

    It was my first week long expedition, and a great starter in my opinion. It was really really enjoyable. Jeff did a great job with POIs, campgrounds and the route. I'd recommended it to anyone wanting a good long trip.

    Hey Dsmskyline! I do have some updates, but on a different thread. Check it out: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/159505-RTT-Expedition-Trailer-V2 With the wood storage rack I'm about 4.5' x 8', but I'll have to go measure it this week. The enclosed part is closer to 4.5' x 6'...

    RTT Expedition Trailer V2.0

    Thank You! I was a little worried it would mind, but it runs up and down with no binds at all! That is one definite advantage of the expanded metal.

    RTT Expedition Trailer V2.0

    I've got a few updates, but not many pictures. We were in a time rush on Father's Day and I didn't take the extra time to snap many pics. We had a lot of little things to finish up this last weekend. First and foremost was trailer lights. We got those run with little trouble early in the...
