    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    I have both Trimble GPS and Gaia GPS. Gaia GPS hands down is the winner. Just be sure to have all your maps cached before hand in either case. Though both aps have crashed on my on longer trips. Gaia seems to crash more when it is set to have direction of travel as up instead of north is up. I...

    I'd say this is more addiction than way of life...

    2014 Grand Cherokee Limited. Certainly not as tough as previous generations of Cherokees, but it sure is comfy. 20mpg still has 4lo. Finally had enough of the $1k visits to the shop for the bmw every couple of months.

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    It does "ok". When I know the area I want to be in, I jump through the hoops of either downloading a map area, or using the option to download maps for a specific track. I use both the website on my desktop and the ipad to do this. Once I've done that, I go first explore the map to see how much...

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    I have the 730n in my JKUR, my wife has the 430n in hers. the 730n is far better than the 430n. Having said that, either one is pretty useless when exploring off main roads. I use an iPad Mini attached to a Ram Mount off the grab bar running Gaia GPS. I make sure I have the maps for the area I...

    Where did your Jeep take You this Week?

    My wife and I did part of the WABDR from Ellensburg to Packwood section. Was an easy drive. Could have been done in 2wd, but fun just the same. Views are awesome. When you have a Gecko Green Jeep, you don't really expect to encounter another one of the same color, much less seeing one doing...

    Any idea or tips on how to secure a paddle board to the JK's roof (no rack or rails)?

    ratchet straps through the window frames. Not sure how well this would work at freeway speeds, but last time I visited Hawaii, there were rental Jeeps running around all over the place like this.

    Jeep dogs!!!

    So now that we have two Rubicons, and Emma will only ride in mine, we figured it was time to get a co-pilot for Debbie and train her to ride in her Jeep. :-) Meet Amber! :-) She is a blonde border collie, and is 14 weeks old in this picture. And can't forget her big sister Emma, our original...
