Is the owner of the tan Gladiator whom I met on the SE portion of the East Texas 450 on this forum? He and his wife were in an amazing 2020 Glad that he had made into an overlanding machine!
My sister just gave me a funny gift: a Jeep for my Jeep! For those of you who are young, here's what a Jeep is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_the_Jeep
A couple of buddies and I just did the Arkansas segment of the TAT. As was the NM and CO portions, this one was a blast. I particularly enjoyed the "Warloop Road" part -- despite being a county road, it's freaking AWESOME. It is basically a trail through the woods that contains a large area that...
A 4Runner friend and I ('21 JTR) just completed the NM and CO portions of the TAT. It was a blast. From start to finish -- my home in NETX and back -- was a total of 2,800 miles. I pulled my '22 TAXA WoolyBear Overland on the trip and it performed like a champ. I must say that Engineer Pass and...
Is anyone using a 23Zero Kabari RTT with solar panels attached? If so, what are you using / what’s your setup? I have a portable solar panel that I use, but I’m interested in seeing if anyone has a more permanent solution.

I learned several things along the way:
When you're pulling a trailer in the...
Added the [Banned Site] CB bar, a Uniden CB, and a Firestick antenna to my Glad this weekend. Antenna is 4' that I mounted in the front of the bed on the passenger side. I added a coil and easy-disconnect as well, so it stands closer to about 4.5' tall just behind the cab. I loop the mic cable behind...
I took Glad the Impaler and my travel trailer to the HSORVP this weekend. It was spectacularly beautiful up there. The Wx was perfect: no clouds and mid-70s all day Saturday.
The rest of the group I went with was driving Wranglers. I was the only Gladiator. I didn't take the truck on anything...
