It might be good to attend an Overland Expo, but I don't think the timing will work.

I agree, but I drive it at 65mph, max. I'm not in a hurry and it's easier on the engine.

Thanks Bass, Good to know. I measured my rig, as is, and it came in at 84" - very encouraging. The only thing I would consider putting on top is solar panels. Max tire size I will likely have is 33"....

Hey, shenrie, I should have thought of that. OK, now I get it. Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if real estate speculators put out those "best places to live" stories. There's always Wyoming (except Jackson Hole, unfortunately). I'd love to live there.
