    Jeep '03 TJ DC Corp Technical Service Bulletins.

    I've never heard of such a TSB and don't see anything in a quick web search. Probably good to post on a Wrangler-specific forum or two.

    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    TJ. I'd be surprised if it was a rental given the age. High volume rental area where JKs abound.

    Can anyone recommend a sub $200 Tablet for Navigation

    For Gaia, I'd go iOS. The Android app isn't as polished and isnt fully stable, hangs on large maps, and downloads slow. It works eventually, just frustrating.

    All in One Offline Maps, Gaia, COTREX comments (Android apps)

    I tried Locus months ago and seem to recall it did not do USFS maps, which I've found to be the most useful in the US overall. Correct? I'll take a look again now that I'm much better versed in apps and better understand what is important in the field and while pre-planning. Thanks for the comment.

    All in One Offline Maps, Gaia, COTREX comments (Android apps)

    Can anyone recommend a sub $200 Tablet for Navigation

    I've been using the ultra cheap Amazon Fire HD 10. I threw a large SD card in and have a boatload of offline maps on it. If you find using your tablet is simply displaying maps and watching movies at night, a fast unit isn't critical. If you are going to make it a main PC on the road for other...

    My 2WD F150 adventures

    Nice to see you started small by keeping the 2wd. I've found the pursuit of gear and vehicles becomes an "in and of itself" situation that runs from the reason for going out: enjoying the outdoors and leaving modern life and its pursuits behind. Just get me out there. I'm in a Jeep TJ mildly...

    Is my Jeep too heavy?

    I'm a 4wd'er starting to overland a bit more. I'm a bit astonished by the weight and gear more seasoned overlanders are carrying. Having come from backpacking and canyoneering before this phase of my life, my eye toward weight reduction and minimalism is pretty keen. Just give me a book, a...
