I have been given the next 30 days off... starting the 15th. We are going to go through Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho, and back to Montana. We will hit lots of remote camping, a few motels or cabins, a few campgrounds, and a few nights with realitives along the way.
I hope to have it all documented and uploaded to my YouTube account "The Uncrowded Path". I'm sure I'll post up on here when I have achance too. We are going to relax... explore... take lots of photos... and will probablt hit some BOH trails. Metal masher, Schnibley Hill, Crown King, Table Mesa... and who knows what else? We have hiking planned out on a few days... We will hit portions of 7 National parks... We are very excited. Never have done a trip like this before, but when we went from our Jk to the JT... this was the plan. Off we go!

That is a great trip! I did one 7 months long. Highly encourage these trips if it is possible to plan.

I had to go with stiffer rear springs with the weight. I was running a 2.5 inch evo with 3/4 inch spacer in the rear.... I needed to move to a 4.5 HD evo spring to carry that sort of weight and handle this sort of rocks and such. You could feel the spring give out on the rocks with a heavy load. I also had a front fox 2.0 shock blow out.... I replaced it with the same for now... but I'm wondering if they are going ot be a weak link in the setup as well.

What phone/camera are you using?
Pixel 3A for Phone, Old Nikon DX(no video), and go-pro 7.... the drone stuff is a mavicmini that is very sick...lol, it randomly drops out of the sky. Or gets lost. So, I don't use the drone much.
