    Transamerica and such

    Thanks! I am heating my 4 door wrangler rubicon with a window slightly cracked. That night it was down to about 20 with 30-40 mph winds and it kept the jeep above freezing, maybe mid 30s? I think if I blocked off the front seats it would do much better. I have the rear seats removed and a 9 “...

    Transamerica and such

    I finished that day going up through Laveta and the trails skirting westcliffe, Cotopaxi, Poncha springs. Well maintained and beautiful forest service roads through the Sanger de Cristo range and could make good time. Ended up at A KOA on the Arkansas river in Salida well after dark. Windy as...

    Transamerica and such

    Capulin volcano in NM is another of my favorite spots just a slight detour off the TAT. Freezing rain, flurries and my first snow of the trip. They wouldn’t let me up it. Another do not miss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transamerica and such

    This was sunrise from my campsite on the Mulberry river in AR. I ran til two hours after dark to get there. Way too many deer in the roads. Then it was more forest roads through the rest of AR and Eastern OK. Beautiful and well graded. Skipped a lot of western OK and stayed in a hotel in...

    Suitability of a 4-door JK jeep

    A four door is definitely do able. Lots of good advice. Especially about the car seats. A stock jeep is the most capable stock off road vehicle made and moving up to a rubicon puts it in a class by itself. That being said, it isn’t a Cadillac but it is doable. The less mods you make on it the...

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    They should require gas stations to have back up generators as they do in most hurricane states where people actually have a feasible plan for power outages Oh, wait. They outlawed generators in California.

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    Except that this thread is about the infrastructure required to overland with an ev and is about public access while traveling, not about private or company facilities. I also doubt that companies will put in the infrastructure to charge hundreds or a thousand Evs at one facility. I did read...

    New Subaru Outback Wilderness/turbo or normal N/A?

    If you are planning on traveling at elevation or steep climbs I would go turbo all day. It won’t be affected by elevation.

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    Not for 10 or 15 years at least. Maybe more until people actually buy enough of them to make it worth anyones while to have charging stations. And you will need 2-3 times as many stations as you have gas pumps to support the same number of vehicles due to the long charge times compared to...

    AEV quits the JK

    So they stopped making a particular front and rear bumper and a heat retention hood for the jk and that is considered stopping all support for the jk? I counted about 24 items on page 1 of 3 for the jk on their website other than the ones mentioned. All of them more popular then the ones mentioned.
