Stay out of RAPID CREEK....you will scare the fish.....

Just messing...

I am on the east side of So Dak, maybe have to get together and do a little overlanding.
I am on the West side usually every 4-6 weeks and sometimes more depending on hunting/fishing/camping..... oh and around having to actually work of course.
PM me for my info.

 

Lol. Yea I try to stay out of things that will drown me.

We might have to get together when you are I town. I will have to look up some trails and learn some more places so I can make sure we are in some good places. Everyone out here is a rock crawler and that's not really my cup of tea most the time. I'll do some moderate crawling just to do something, but I would rather trail ride with normal obstacles of the land or water. I don't like trying to break my rig.

Working is overrated, unfortunately necessary.

 

Yeah, I don't sleep on the ground any more either. I'm either in the back of the JK (yay for being short - 5-9) which I can setup to be pretty comfy, or I take my trailer. The only downside to the trailer, is I can't stealth camp.

 

Got a picture of this setup?

 

Nice setup. I wish I could afford a trailer like that. I've been looking and I can't find any under 8k with a little set up

 

RR snorkel completed. Original mounting bracket does not work with the Baja rack but we used the supplied extra bracket that comes with it incase you want to go back to stock as a brace.

My RR snorkel is still sitting in my closet. I'm kind of afraid to tackle it. Got the pre-filter too. Also contemplating swapping for another brand.

 

Thanks. I picked mine up used in Vancouver BC off of Expo Portal last summer for $3500. Only changes I've made were wheel adapters and new wheels and tires (wanted matching wheels and more aggressive looking tires). Tent, lid, paint, restoration and whatnot were all done by the previous owner. Oh and I yanked the ammo cans. More changes coming this summer - 8' awning, hopefully a slide out kitchen and once I sell my place a new tent, among other things. It'll be a while before I have it "perfect" - it's like a jeep lol!

The PO needed something bigger to tow behind his new ride. Did I pay a tad much? Depends on how you look at it... The tent is 1k (more if I'd had one shipped up here), and the trailer would range from 500-1100 depending on the condition. So basically I paid an extra 1500 or so for him to do ALL the work. I simply hooked it up, loaded my crap, and took off camping that weekend, and for the rest of the month as I slowly made my way home. For me I saw that as a huge win, and well worth the price!

Anyway, keep an eye on the used stuff on Expo. All sorts of goodies in there. They'll range from run down half finished projects to completely finished, and usually relatively reasonably priced (for what they are). Here's a few of the ones that are on there.

Edit, I don't know what ones budget is... I know I had my trailer (something similar to what I got) on my dream list for over a year... and I just keep looking at pictures of what others had built and were selling. Then mine popped up in Vancouver (which is huge for me as I have family there) around the same time I was going to be heading down to Van... and in a price range I could afford. So just keep looking... maybe you'll (or others) will get lucky like I did with everything falling perfectly into place.

I'm digging it. The cutting is super simple and the install is not bad at all. Like I posted earlier they give you a bracket if you want to go to stock later on.

would love to hear more about this rig. What's the brand of roof rack, and the front bumper to start.

Thanks,
