I have been offroading for about 15 years give or take a few.

Started out with a 1978 Dodge Ramcharger, got out for a few years & got a 1990 YJ. Now I also own a1998 XJ, & want to learn more about equipping my jeeps for expedition style wheeling.

My Yj has a 220 amp on board weldenator, an XRC8 winch that can move to either end of the vehicle via hitch mount/ Anderson connectors.

Also has a York OBA, & I keep a small shovel & 4 ton come-a-long on board at all times.

I still have to upgrade the drivetrain, but am short on funds for that.

Looking forward to making some new E-friends as well., Paul.

Thanks kc0tma! I head over the pass a few times a year to fish the Thompson. Let me know if you ever do any day trips or need anyone to tag along?
Any clubs in the area for overland travel?

I'm all about researching before modding anything on my jeeps. I found a lot of great ideas on the internet.
