Welcome!
Please allow me to introduce ourselves,
Blake, Chelsea, and our basset hounds Charlie and Blue. Prior to this adventure we were bartenders in Las Vegas. Now we are on an overland expedition, living out of our Jeep and trailer, in search of our next home base. Taking roads less traveled, immersing ourselves in the local culture, history and geography. We cordially invite you to join us on our adventures as we take a “boots on the ground” approach to the R&D of what lie ahead. See you down the road!
Thank you for supporting our adventures!

Wow, she looks great, sturdy and I bet she handles just fine. Cool jeep, too. Not sure about the gas tanks hanging like that.
that thing would look cool as an spaceship props for star wars
What boots are you wearing?
One of the best TJ maintenance videos I have seen.
Damn it I miss my tj
Hey, Ms. Chelsea. Hey, love your Jeep, you guys.
This isnt a good built. Sorry, but that's the truth. Anyone says otherwise absolutely doesn't know what they're talking about. You're too heavy. You're too tall and that damn low clearance crossmember, jesus.. Steal armor and bumpers is moronic especially with the weight you're already trying to carry. Aluminum exists. i could go on and on but i see no reason to.. FFS use a cheater bar when installing the tire, its so much easier..
How do you keep your dogs from over heating in the summer?
We try to stay at higher elevations. They love ice cubes at gas station stops. We’ve also used neck gaiters soaked in water around their necks to stay cool.
Heey y’all! Haven’t seen you in a while. It’s good to see you happy. You’ve got a sweet rig. God bless, Jesus is coming.
Wow seriously awesome build mate!
Great video guys keep up the good work
Basset hounds just like my daisy
Nice song
👍
nice
That looks good! ✌️
Great Video! Got this guy to Subscribe! and Rattle Can for the win!
Glad y'all are back! No more hibernation 😅
I really like those kitchen bags I just don't know where to hang one off my Tracker...roof rack is an issue bc of fiberglass roof!
We love ours, keeps everything organized. Ours connects to the handle of our fridge. You could always use a rope around your seat and let it hang from the back?
@@CBOverland good idea...for use tho where could I hang it - 🤔 (thinking) of rear tire... carefully back door or something when door is open! Ya probably that is better.
@SimplyLesa absolutely! I wonder if a suction cup hook would be strong enough to hang from anywhere.
@@CBOverland another great idea
Good to see you all back. Jeep looks naked haha
Thank you! And totally agreed! 😆 I’m taking a break from bolting the rack/tent on as I type this. “Clothed” Jeep coming soon! 🤣
Looks great. I was wondering which Titan welder you are using and how do you like it?
Thank you! I’m using a Titanium mig170. It works well, I’m a fan of the 120/240v power option. I’ve used just about every brand of welder out there and for how well this little machine runs I couldn’t justify the expense of the big names. Harbor freight’s warranty is hard to beat as well. Cheers friend!
Your back! Awesome!
I've got a 99 TJ with 120k miles mostly offroad. I've been through a couple radiators, couple exhaust manifolds, steering pump and box. I run the Currie (now Rock Jock) short arms with Johnny Joints and never had an issue. They give major flex and have never squeaked.
The off road miles definitely strain the equipment! Glad to hear positive feedback on the Johnny joints. On road has been great in our test drives, looking forward to feel the difference on the trail.
@@CBOverlandI had elongated bolt holes on my TJ too. I also took it and had it laser aligned all the way around. It was seriously misaligned and I picked up almost 2 mpg. Now I get 14-15 mpg with 35's a 5-speed manual and 4:88 gears.
Great walk-through. You made the springs looks easy. lol…I had someone do mine because I didn’t feel comfortable. My axle shafts and gears are next. Once again, I don’t feel comfortable but that comes from just not knowing.. Hope the pups are doing well. Take care, see you out there.
Thank you! Springs/lift kits, for the most part, are pretty straight forward but I’m all about supporting your local shop or friend too! Gears, on the other hand, are bit more involved. Doggos are well and excited for adventure! Happy Trails!
Awesome to see an update video!!! 👏👏👏👏
Great to see you guys back. Looking forward to seeing more adventures.
Thank you! We’re stoked to get back out on the trail!
Very impressive.
Thank you
All it takes is dollar bills.
Blood, sweat and tears too. 😆
Beautiful Jeep... well done!
Thank you!
Beautiful TJ! We're buying our first now after a lifetime of owning Landrover series and a Defender, Ranger, Mazda, Suzuki Jimny, curentl a Mahindra Pikup S6 Karoo 4x4 ( fantastic value and amazing off road!) But seriously excited about the tj! It's a very well kept Sahara 4.0l in line straight six.
Thank you! Welcome to the Jeep Family! The TJ is a fun platform to explore. I had the pleasure of driving a friends’ Defender 90 RHD all over the backroads/trails of southern Nevada and it was a blast! Sure wasn’t quick by any means but it handled the trails like a billy goat! 🤣
May I suggest you use split latchpins in the latches? Cheap, eternally reusable and easy.
Reusable zipties are also a solution

I keep coming back to this video! Nice rig ! Seems to be more of a rock crawler than an over lander. Do you still have it?
thanks! Yes, we do.. was just in a hibernation. We have been spending the last few months getting the rig back up and running. This week we are replacing the transmission...should be back on the road soon.
Sub earned. Sorry for your hardships.
Love your channel--I'm building my 2003 Jeep TJ Rubicon I've owned for 20 years now into an overlander and using your channel for ideas. My biggest concerns beyond space is weight. I'm already at 4300lbs without anything in the Jeep other then 100lbs of backseat, stereo box/subs, amps etc..., (which is coming out). This is without me or a hardtop. Add those and I'm nearly at my 4600lb GVWR without any equipment. Add a small slide out nomad cv kitchen, hardtop rack, iKamper mini, batwing compact awning, small 25L dometic fridge with slide, Ecoflow 20lb generator, diesel heater, coleman hot water shower, 3x dometic 3 gal water jugs, one 3.8 gal waterport, + food, clothes, pots, pans...etc. You get the picture--LOL. I will likely be 500-750lbs over factory GVWR, however..., a lot of that is unsprung weight with 35-inch tires, rims, Dana 44 axles, brakes. Also, I have a RC heavy duty 4-inch lift with heavy duty control arms, track bars, shocks so I know my Jeep can operate with additional weight. Anyway, looking at your TJ videos with everything, it seems like it is excessively heavy. How heavy is your jeep with a full load, you, your wife and 2x hounds....,and how does it ride? primary on-road in acceleration and at speed. Interesting to know as a baseline.
Good journey on ya. Thanks for sharing.
Epic
Cheers from NV ✌️
BLUE!! And omg look at it little Chuck not so little anymore! <3
This is the most fundamental survivors guide ever for wrangler exploration. I wish I could hug you guys for this tranquil and peaceful video, and for all you may have sacrificed, (in this society probably not much compared to what I could just imagine, an experience like this could catapult a soul to great heights, but it appears that you two may have already been in great heights spiritually before your journey even began). Thank you. And, thank you to all of those who supported these two beautiful souls on their expedition.
liked and subscribed. hopefully more people will support your great content!! Keep it up...
Big fan of your build! Keep it up. You guys are truly an inspiration.
What a brilliant channel 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love to see some more content!
Aeropress and a high octane roast is my go-to!
You guys are back! 👍
That’s sheep bridge road 😅your on, site #46 is pretty good spot
This was the dude being chased by the cops while he was shooting at motorists. I live 2 blocks from the bridge going to laverkin
was a crazy day!
What happened to you guys?
Hey David, we've been hibernating in the Northwoods for the winter. We'll be back soon. 🤘
@@CBOverland awesome 😎
Dude, y’all talk through your build for over 30 min, mall crawlers are like…”I have a Jeep…”😂 Thanks so much for the info and explanation of why for specific build parts!
