http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/175532-Trans-Canada-North-America-and-the-Canadian-Rockies If you get some spare time :) Came back to this because a buddy just sent it to me as an idea for a trip next year... You're making waves!

Hey all, During some 7,000+ miles of travel across Canada with my girlfriend this summer, we spent quite a bit of time discussing how to optimize our storage solutions inside the vehicle for future trips. For this trip we used three Pelican cases, 2x 1620s and a single 1610. Stored in the rear...

Any updates? Really clean thus far. Looking for inspiration for my WK2 for next year's adventures.

So I opted for two switches for these lights in my 4-switch bank. The first switch is to turn them on and off, the second of the two turns on a solid state strobe controller for them to strobe. The first switch will override the strobe control and turn them solid again, even if the strobe switch...

Day 14: August 9th, 2017 ​With the day before having been such a long one, and our arrival back at the tent having been so late at night, it was no surprise that we slept in till nearly 10h00. I cleaned up the sleeping gear inside the tent while Dani went to take a quick shower, and then...

Hey Roy- I was able to snap a few photos for you over the weekend when I was back in Boston. Stats on the images are as follows: ISO200, f/5.0, 13" exposure time. I measured the space out for the visible light beam. The edge of the trees was 75 feet from the rear bumper of the Trailhawk, and...

Thanks so much Roy. It's a great platform and you're right - comfortable on road and capable off. I dragged her through some river crossings during our Ontario QB-5 backcountry adventure this summer with the club, through some great washed out roads, and over all kinds of terrain without issue...

Never got a chance to really explore the area more than a few times, but it was absolutely beautiful while I was there and off the main roads. I'm hoping I'll get out there a little more next year!

Thanks Scoutman! Q7 is a big vehicle... I'll be honest, I enjoy the WK2 more than the Q5s I've driven, and that's as an Audi fanboy. Taking some time this winter to look over where the build will go next. Everything I did this year proved perfectly aligned for the needs of the overland trip...

Day 13 - August 8th, 2017 If my 04h00 alarm clock hadn’t woken me, the nearby campsite’s blaring car alarm at 04h02 certainly would have. Dani rolled over, not looking too amused with the situation, and we each began layering up in anticipation for a cold morning further north. We piled into...

Awesome read and photos. Explored the Canadian Rockies this summer but have always been interested in vehicular exploration of the CDT. It'll have to be a trip someday.

Always enjoy your trip reports. Beautiful photos as always.

Such an awesome Jeep. I'd always wanted to find a '98 or '99 in Chili Pepper Pearl red to match my TJ, and build it for overlanding. Looking forward to reading about your trip!

Awesome trip... I did something of the same sort, across Canada from Ottawa to Jasper/Banff, then back through the US. I'm incredibly jealous that you were able to get so many (if not all) state line signs...

Day 12 - August, 7th, 2017 Our alarm clock was that of a small child screaming at the top of his lungs then bursting into tears. I referenced my watch and learned it was 08h30, a decent night’s sleep but from the way my body felt, not a restorative one. We emerged from the tent half an hour...

Hey there! Smiled seeing my WK2 build thread already listed up there, but I thought I'd chime in with a little additional info. A) Yeah, it's an expensive and pretty rig. MSRP on mine was $52 I think... Not that much more than a JKUR, but a whole other level of comfort for the days I'm not on...

Day 11 - August 6th, 2017 My alarm quietly went off as programmed at 01h45. I rolled over and silenced it, putting my headlamp on and unzipping the tent door despite the majority of my body begging me to go back to sleep. The moon shone brilliantly as I slid my shoes on, lazily stepping outside...

Day 10 - August 5th, 2017 The next day was again relatively unplanned, however we had a new campsite reserved in the backcountry wilderness of Jasper National Park and would need to backpack a few miles into it before the sun went down. I was excited to get away from the heavily trafficked...

Day 9 - August 4th, 2017 ​Thunderstorms had started late and carried on throughout the night, with heavy rain falling intermittently through the late morning hours. We woke up around 07h30, later than the last few days, and discussed what we each had in mind for the day. We settled on starting...

Appreciate it! Post edited.
