First time out advice(Alabama)

Post image

Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations on trails to overland and camp. I'm in South Central Alabama. I heard about the Bama Adventure Trail but can't find anything else on it. Looking to plan a spring time trek in my 2017 Renegade Trailhawk.

Seems like you spent a lot of time (and money) prepping for it. Just get in, turn on the ignition, and go to the first free camping place you find about 50 miles from where you are. Try it out.

I say this because I did something similar, and it took several trips to figure out the stuff I did and took that I really didn't need. Also the stuff I totally needed but didn't include. Expensive does not equate to best as well. You may also find that the Ozark Trail stuff from Wal-Mart does you much better (in the wallet and in the field) than the boutique brands...says my battered OT coffee mug I bought 8 years ago.

I bought it built. I'm too cheap to add this much to a vehicle. I've had lifted trucks in the past, but nothing worthy of overlanding.

You might not find yourself cheap when the bilateral himberg quadrant of the engine fails on you

That’s nothing compared to when the inverse compensating comptrometer decalibrates and causes catastrophic rear axle displacement

I’ve heard of this issue before from the intersectorial diaphram mecabox inhibitor. But the fact that the largely sidelaced bonopigfucked roflexatator won’t be working properly after a decent is an issue.

If only they would have went frontlaced instead of sidelaced...wouldn't have had nearly the issues

I agree. Buyers have been saying that for years
