Ep 7Building the Jeep Gladiator for Overlanding

Matt Scott shares details and insights about selecting the best Gladiator model to purchase and how to modify it for backcountry travel, including suspension, tires and wheels, bumpers, and overland campers. What Makes the Jeep Gladiator So Special? 1. Jeep Capability2. Proper payload, easily greater than most of its competitors.3. Easily modified for a wide range of conditions.4. Solid front and rear axles with available locking differentials. 5. Available manual transmission6. Available diesel motor (late 2020) What is the best model Gladiator for overland travel?Matt- The Rubicon because of the locking differentials and other accessories like swaybar disconnect, etc. Scott- The Sport with the Max Tow Package. Some Inspiration:The XOverland Odin, built by Clay Croft and his teamJeep Gladiator WayoutSuspension?Matt had the factory Mopar 2-inch suspension lift installed, which he has been happy with, save the rear Fox shocks. The spring rate is appropriate for Matt's load, but the rear shocks were valved for an unloaded truck. As a result, the blow through the available travel (rebound was also lacking). Scott and Matt discuss other suspension options, and Matt is most anticipating the AEV kit due to proper spring rates and history of good valving. However, that kit is not currently available. Old Man Emu was also discussed as a good option, but it is also not available. The only kit currently on the market that meets Matt's expectations is the Icon Vehicle Dynamics kit. Tires and Wheels?Matt chose the Method Racing wheels in bronze, and selected the Falken A/T3W in 37" diameter. Winch?Warn Zeon 10-SCamping Accessories?AT Overland Habitat (The camper that Matt chose)The FiftyTen CamperPatriot Campers PCOR SystemWHAT IS THE OVERLAND JOURNAL PODCAST?The Overland Journal Podcast features the travelers, topics, and news related to the overlanding community and industry.

Ep 6Lois Pryce, Solo Adventure Motorcyclist

Smitten with life, UK adventuress Lois Pryce has always been on the move. At 13 years of age, an unchaperoned, week-long trip on bicycles through Cornwall’s back roads with friends introduced her to the possibilities of travel by design. And also to the idea of minimalist travel, taking shelter where you can find it, and bringing little more than bare essentials.About Lois Pryce: https://www.loisontheloose.com/ For more of Lois' content in Overland Journal and Expedition Portal: https://expeditionportal.com/?s=lois+pryce&submit=
