Too many idiots think they can handle Nevada terrain. It's sad really, that it takes death before people realize.
Roof Rack + Snorkel = Overland?

Yep. The place I camped last weekend was not that far from the Stolpas' little adventure. Not a very forgiving place in the cold of winter or heat of summer.

Reading through this and just my opinion is that rock crawling vs overland builds differ by how you spend your money and what things are the most important ... Yea there are builds that can do both well but on a budget there are def things that someone who wants to go play in the comp course at RC would want opposed to someone who wants to get lost in the woods and take small trails on weekends ...
Apparently, you didn't read through the WHOLE thread.
There's a lot more out there than "comp courses" at an east coast off road park and if you're just wanting to get lost up in the woods, I find it hard to understand why you'd need a snorkel, spare gas cans or a Snowpeak kitchen set to do that. But hey, that's just me.
What do you do if you need to go on a long distance trip AND need to take on really technical terrain?

I would really put a vote in to ditch the brackets. If you are set up right, there is no need for them. And the monkey motion of changing them in/out just opens the door of opportunity to mess something up.
I recently ditched my AEV brackets at the recommendation of Eddie and I am very glad that I did. I was able to dial in my caster/pinion with a set of EVO lowers and I haven't been able to notice a difference.

I forgot to put in the sarcasm brackets on that last post.

Normally I'd try to make it more clear, but I've been so damn busy trying to clean the Jeep

One of the "Overlanding" trips this summer...
It wasn't really about the technical aspects of the trails... It was about getting out there exploring and getting back without any help...
Basically what everybody does almost every time they hit the trails...
I've always just thought of it as car camping... The jeep just gets us farther than a normal car.
