    Hello all. First time purchasing a non-Jeep 4x4. Digging the wheels so far. New-to-me 2015 w/ 10k on it. Crux of the issue is I have all four racks equidistant (16"). As the pictures display, the mounting brackets are spread as far apart as possible and the rear bar is slid as far back as...

    New to bikepacking and intrigued. . . .

    Thank you thread

    Just wanted to drop a note of thanks to the photogs here. You've inspired me to be better to the point of enrolling in a college class, getting a camera, and learning to use my software. It was through reading trip reports that I learned videos and photos are truly worth a 1000 words. Took...

    Road Tripping Ireland 2011

    My wife and I rented a little car and road tripped Ireland in 5 days. While not an 'expedition' or 'back country' trip, it was an amazing feeling of accomplishment to get our feet wet landing in a country with no reservations except for a vehicle, a road atlas, and a must-see list. It was an...
