You seem to take your vehicles seriously. You'll fit right in. And don't get bugged by people who dump on Jeeps--it's all fun.
This is a great place to learn about mods, upgrades, accessories, and offroading. Seeing as you're already a Jeepster, have you done any serious off-roading? Your WT...
Sounds like a great itinerary. To be honest, I haven't read all the pages of the thread, but I noticed lots of great suggestions. Here's mine:
If southern Utah (Bryce, Zion, St. George, Moab) is not in the offing, consider the Pony Express Historic Byway, which follows the historic route...
I believe onX-Hunt is the more expensive, because it gives you property ownership. This is for the benefit of hunters who need to know about, and arrange for, legal access to land for hunting.
Lots of thoughts shared on this thread:

(A gentle thought: consider searching the forum for relevant threads first.)
Look into the Hatfield-McCoy trails systems in West Virginia. These are a network of commercial off-road trails for everything from single-track to side-by-side to 4x4. I gather you buy a pass for a period of use. If I understand right (never been there) these are curated and difficulty-rated...
I think the Goodyear OEM "Territories" are very good all-around rubber. Every tire will excel at some consumer needs, and fall short on others. What's too noisy for somebody is better rain and snow traction for another...etc.
So I think they do well for people who will do some fairly serious...
Check out the Ma Bell trail in Northampton. MA. If you have Sasquatch, you can do it (air down), a good intro trail for solo. Allow 3-4 hours for a 1st attempt.. Also good experience for a spotter (I got out frequently to eyeball), but manageable solo. There are several easy-to-find videos...
If you go to GlueTread's site, they have a demo video where they stab all 4 tires on a Jeep and run the Rubicon Trail. Granted, it's a demo and they were sure to control for variables, but it is an impressive show. My thinking is, as I explained above, you want repair capabilities (for...
Go to Amazon and search "Tire Sidewall Repair Kit."
I ripped a sidewall once and wished I had it. I swapped it off with my spare, and would have done a sidewall repair, had I known about the product, then saved the damaged one for limited use as a spare (like a donut) until I wore down my OEM...
Yes! But if you don't have it, there will be a time you'll need it.
(Love your slogan: "Real adventure involves real risk." Words to wheel (and live) by!)
I drive a Badlands Sas/4DR/Lux/Hardtop, and have nothing but praise for its highwayhandling. It's steady and smooth. Badlands is a heavier build, so my mileage suffers. I like the highway assists, as I'm pushing 77 and, as a life-long professional driver, am beginning to notice that some of...
A friendly suggestion: Please do a search on a subject before starting a thread. There are several fairly recent threads on this. mudflaps (and roofracks and tents) are among the most commonly discussed subjects.
That said, I have the RokBlokz, which can be detached for trail use. The'yre...
Thxe hood protector was only slightly effective driving Missouri and Oklahoma in August. Probably would have been worse without it.
At first, I was bummed out by the gaps on the the Ford cargo drawer. But I carry a 12x12x3/4-inch plywood pad to foot my jack, and I slide it in on one side. On...
My guess is that there won't be much in the way of obstacles there. It's flat coastal plain. I'd be interested in a group run on the Old Florida Road in North Adams, which is a definite "Sasquatch or better" trail.
A Bronco in the UK--not only a lot of fun, but what an attention getter! I once saw an article where Britons ran their LR Defenders through various obstacles in a competition. They'd be observed timed, and rated on their technique, get a ticket punched, then move on to the next obstacle (water...
