You inspired me with your story on Black bear pass. Plan on doing the trail next year, along with Engineer pass and few more. Plan on hitting out to UT and their amazing national parks, hitting to CO and hitting back home. The wagon will be towing an overerlanding trailer as well. Can’t wait!

It’s been fun, it’s also been a long walk to get here. Started out with just go fast and stop fast to full Overlanding build. Definitely no regrets but there are some noticeable limitations. If you plan to do more than few days of Overlanding/camping, the rig is very limited on space. But all in all, it’s been really fun. Not too many these things all done up and on the trails around here. Do what makes you happy I say.

Looks great. The best G pictures are always taken off road. In their natural habitat and where they belong.

Damn I just looked at my truck this morning and thought it was tough. This is next level! Great build.

Not sure if it was bulleted in your original post, but what is the other cargo box (not the thule carrier)

I'm looking to add a more permanent storage option to my roof.

Also would be awesome to link up for some trail runs, doing my first snow run this weekend with a co-worker w a Rubicon just a couple hours outside of Seattle.

Thanks for the kind words. Happy to see you up here in PNW. You have some great places to get your rig out and get it dirty . The storage box on passenger side is "ROAM" 105L box.....the company is called "Roam Adventure" they make some awesome storage/overlanding gear. I have the 105L and also their 95L box. Both come with built in air strut for easy opening and they are water/dirt proof with proper seal built in. There is a great overlanding gear shop in Issaquah (east of Seattle)....Mule Expedition Outfitters (www.dasmule.com), you should go check them out. Would love to get together and run some trails...will PM you if I ever come up that way, feel free to reach out if you ever make it down to Portland area. Happy trails!
