I'm an experienced camper but new to overlanding. I built an M416 military trailer into a camping trailer. Looking to plan a trip for August or September or October this year somewhere in NJ, PA, NY or within 4 hours of northern NJ.
I know there are no true overlanding spots but I'm looking...
I'm a cop. I've been a cop for 23 years. Do you know how many of the stolen cars in my town during those 23 years DID NOT have the keys left in the vehicle??? No?
Two. Yup two. Every other stolen vehicle the owner left the keys in the vehicle or they left it running while they ran into a store...
An example. 21 is the year code (2021) and the next 3 numbers are the Julian date code. That means the number of the day of the year your truck was built. Jan 01 would be 21001. Mine was built on June 17, it's code 21168 or the 168th day of 2021.
So I knew that my Bronco was somewhere near the hot zone for the 2.7L engine failures but I kept avoiding checking it. I finally did this week and I'm smack in the middle of the worst date... My date code is 21168 June 17th.
But it's still going strong with 10,681 miles. I'm curious who has the...
No, I went with a trailer. I built this from an old M416 trailer. Store my boats on top and ready to go whenever. Camping gear good inside trailer for boat camping trips. Works well.
I did see another guy who actually fabricated my idea on here but I don't remember where. He made a crossbar...

@Mabett can you not put a code or coupon in the Amazon listing that would...
I have a 4 door Badlands and the rear center seat has a large bump out near the bottom that makes it very uncomfortable for a person to sit there.
What is the purpose of this bump out? There is a seat belt for the center so it's not to prevent people from sitting there. Never had it on any...
@Jornum1 Burnt Meadow Rd is a public road in Ringwood and it becomes unimproved between Ringwood and West Milford. You can drive right through from one town to the other. Just punch it in your GPS.
Stag Hill is a little more hidden. Go up to the pet cemetery top of Stag Hill Rd. There is a...
I'm in Bergen too. Been up to Stag Hill in Mahwah and Burnt Meadow Road in Ringwood few times. Just wets the appetite but better than nothing. Would be in to a group trip somewhere. I'm thinking PA maybe.
We are literally just leaving for our camping trip and I got a warning I've never seen before on the dash of my Bronco with the trailer:
TIRES NOT TRAINED
Has anyone ever seen this before? I did a quick search and I couldn't find anything.
The military spec is 500 lbs. It's considered a 1/4 ton trailer. However, from what I can gather that is a conservative spec AND it's the floatation/off road spec. The tub of the trailer is solid (mine isn't, previous owner cut a tailgate into it) and it's designed to float like a boat over deep...
