Any (4-wheel) Overland types in here?

[Charles R]

Awesome! That’s the way to do it!

I shot some video of the less challenging trails using my mobile. I figured that was not a good idea on the more challenging trails lol

I do some overloading. It's a way to get my wife involved as she's not currently a rider. I also scout out areas to go back and ride.

Some pics from the Pleasanton Overland Bound meetup yesterday.

jkd's Tacoma.

These GoFastCampers are super cool. Literally takes seconds to pop it out.

Another GFC-equopped Tacoma.

That was a pretty sizable group out there. Bunch of good looking rigs.

Man people are desperate to get out.

$300/night to go on what amounts to desert camping with a hot tub.

Bumper and winch all mounted up with nowhere to go. Ended up pulling logs at a buddy's property over the weekend instead.

Picked up a 2003 Wrangler over the weekend. It’s basic but will be fun to build into a simple trail rig. Low miles. Price was good. Wish it had different gears/axles but that can be done down the line.

Looking forward to taking it out with my sons and doing some exploring. My father in law has a CJ7 so it will fun to roll around with him.

Already ordered a bunch of stuff for it - OME lift, winch, better headlights.

Pic is from the seller. It’s getting new tires this weekend

Congratulations on the Wrangler purchase. Have fun.

How big of a suspension lift? Are you lifting the body? OME makes great stuff, I've lifted three XJ's and one TJ.
Stick or Auto? 6 Cyl engines w/5 spd stick came with 3.07's. Stock tires were probably 225 or 235/75x15r. 6Cyl auto's were typically 3.54's. Optional was a
Dana 44 rear w/3.73 gears. Rubi's came with 4.11's.

If you put 33" tires with 3.07 gears it will suck! 31's won't suck as bad, but you'll be grabbing 4th and maybe 3rd trying to go up Hiway 80 and maintain a decent speed.

I'm guessing this will be more of a daily driver, if so 33's with a re-gear to 3.73's are a great combo. Consider a locker for the rear. No need to go to any bigger tires on the stock axles/diffs, you'll just break shit! Remember the higher you go the more stuff you'll need!

Have Fun!

Geez. check out this beast of a ‘Mog, built out of a German fire truck.

Checking your articulation?

Whatever apocalypse he's fleeing from would've surely caught up by the time he gets a 100 yards in. Probably better off hoofing it.

This is my second TJ. It’s very base. I6 5spd manual. 3.07 unfortunately. But the price was right and it’s in just about perfect condition. It will be a trial rig. Just exploring.

Simple build. OME 2” lift with 31s. No body lift. Probably an Aussie in the front. Not sure what I’ll do in the rear yet. Maybe a take off 44 out of a Rubi.

I’ll tow it behind my Rebel. It’s purely a toy.

First time out in a year. Back to the Merced River for an overnighter.

Moonlight Walkies

Night night.

 

[ScorpioVI]

Falling asleep and waking to the sound of the river is nice.

Grilled ham and cheese on Cheesecake Factory brown bread for breakfast.

Went for a short hike on the Merced River Trail.
