Sorry for getting back to you so late. Yes, I had the Hemi. Last January I traded it in for a Gladiator. I loved that Commander and it was a very hard decision to make. I had also sold my Ram truck so I needed to combined the vehicles in to 1 so the Jeep Gladiator was the winner.

Yes, I would replace both. The bushing will be loose on the old one and tight on the new. It will likely affect your ride.

It is a beautiful area.

Thanks Jason. It has been a while. We may not get back out till February. We are planning on going to Flag Pole Knob in February.

What do you ride? I think the off road bike touring is pretty cool.

They are LT285/70R17. Yes, there is tire rub on the passenger side wheel well, even with the pinch weld mod. The A/C tubes that go back for the third row are in the way on the passenger wheel well behind the plastic inner liner. It's the tire width that is the problem, not the height. I am going to replace the tires with 235/85r17 BFG KO2. Of course, I have about a 3 inch lift too. The lift is a Rocky Roads lift. I plan to replace it with the 5 inch Jeeperf lift.

So these upper control arms work on a 3 inch lift? I want to get these and I have the 3 inch lift on my commander

Have fun.

Thanks for the info Doug.

Check out Gaia maps. I don't think you have to turn around. I think you can drive on through.

I haven't had that issue and have had it out in the rain a few times.

If you have/get the waterproof gazebo wind panels you can add those to the outsides of the tent and it works amazingly well especially for the areas the rain fly doesn’t fully cover.

It is definitely a challenge to lift the Commander. I went with the Rocky Roads upper control arm. Replace my lower arm because of the bushings. I have quick release front sway bar arms, but I am not happy with them. I have 3" lift in the front and 2.5" back. I still need to do some work in the back end. I will have to do a video on my lift at some point. I also have wheel spacers. I did the pinch weld mod. It wasn't too hard. I do have rub on the front passenger side, but that is because they run the A/C lines for the third row seating there behind the plastic. I am thinking of removing those so I can get that needed inch back.

I think the only way to reserve the 85+ pad site would be to call and reserve it, but I believe all sites are first come, first served. The good thing is that it is not listed on the sign in sheet. I would just write it in when you get there as site 85+(pad).

If the Ranger Station is closed, I would just write it in at the bottom of the check-in sheet they have. I believe there are blanks on the sheet.

They call them overflow sites and yes you write it in on a blank line as site 85 overflow or road name overflow 85 itself is a great site as well one of my favorite

Great question. I don't remember. I feel like a little over 100.

I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like quite the adventure!

Completely custom build. We had to cut it up some. The weight was to much. I am planning to build a new one.

Bathroom tent. That one broke so we bought a better one. The new one is in a later video.

It's still pretty easy to put up.

Thanks for the update Alf. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks 👍. It was a lot of fun.

Nice. I'm guessing you're a Toyota person.

@@BananaRepublicAdventures no gm guy can't afford one tho

It's a nice camping area.

Sounds good. Thanks for the advice.

It's a nice area. I think there may also be another road south of Rapidan Road that takes you into the mountain.

Thanks! How did your trip go?

@@BananaRepublicAdventures The trip was fantastic! Chose site 43 and really tested the Gazelle as it poured the first night and most of the next day. Great tent! I found a place on Hipcamp that butts up against green ridge and 500ft from C&O trail, 3 mi from Paw Paw tunnel that Im looking to try out soon. Thanks for the videos!

Glad to hear. We used the Gazelle again in our next two up coming videos. Great tent.

@@BananaRepublicAdventures really is a great tent. I can’t wait to catch the next adventure.

Thanks for being a Subscriber!

I have Verizon and it does pretty good in Green Ridge State Forest.

@@BananaRepublicAdventures ahh ok, I have at&t and didnt have any reception at site 84 last time I went, which was disappointing. What are your top 5 recommended sites? Planning on going up on 4th of july and I want to get a decent site for my family.

Haven't been to enough yet. I do like the 40s. They are designated 4x4. I have a video on site 42. But site 43 looked better.

I have Verizon and have been pretty successful with coverage in George Washington National Park .

They're good. The hasn't been any binding or other issues.

It is the first few times. But once you get use to it, it goes faster.

Jeeez if you find this like too much work just rent a hotel room but i guess even bringing the clothes bags is allot of work HA HA HA. Better yet just stay home watching the maid do the cleaning and the yardman cut the grass. Like how lazy can a person be 😅😅😅😅🤣😂

@@mikep4823 HUH?

It literally can be put up in 120 seconds.. it’s one of the easiest tents to put up…

Wow, guess I should have left the whole video up of settings up the tent. Definitely took a while to setup for the first time. Thanks for the Commander comment. It's a work in process.

What an incredibly stupid comment. First of all it is very inaccurate and second letting his daughter participate is not only teaching her to be self reliant but also she enjoyed it… and you didn’t see him right along side her setting up the tent?

It's a nice day drive.Drive. check their website before you go. There are times the offroad section is closed.

Thanks!

Good to know, thanks. I waited on buying it, figuring they would make it in green. Glad I waited.

I'm considering buying one of these. I like the green color better from the outside but I'm thinking the brighter orange color would serve better for inside lighting at night. I was hoping this video would change my mind but the camera never entered the tent.

I waited for the green because on the way everything inside orange and yellow tents are so saturated by those colors in the tent. The green tent just makes it a little darker, but everything inside doesn't look green. Yellow and orange tent sometimes give me headaches in the morning when the sun blasts those brighter colors in the rent.

I have the light green T3 tent and just received the T4 plus overland. We camp as a family with two young boys who race motocross. Luckily our T3 didn't collapse during very windy conditions camped next to the track. I think the large cover for the T4 plus will be very different than the T3, in a good way vs the wind.

Use a collapsible tent pole in the middle of the ceiling hub on windy days and you won't have that issue next time

Yes. I need to get a battery system for my rig. Hope to pick one up later this year.

Did you get your Bronco, and how do you like it.

@@BananaRepublicAdventures just took delivery yesterday. Enjoyed some time cruising around Carroll County back roads today with the top down today, absolutely love it!

Let me know, and we will head up with you if you want. Thanks for watching.

No. It didn't have a creek close to the site.

No. This is Skyland Drive, which is in Virginia.

No. We split off earlier then the rest of the group. They stopped off along the southern section.

No. I haven't seen any there.

We may have to do that. What's your channel?

@@BananaRepublicAdventures My channel is called FSJ Aventuras & 4x4, I am from Puerto Rico, my channel is in Spanish.

Just watched your videos. Looks like you all have a fun time. I don't know Spanish, but enjoyed them all the same. Looks like you are in Maryland too.

Yes Raymond I am.

Site 65 was booked and is on a bit of a hill maybe not good for toddlers. The rest of these sites, minus the ones mentioned right on the road, would probably work for you and your family. There aren't a lot of big hill climbs in the park. The decent into and out of site 66 is a little sketchy if you aren't use to driving rocks and narrow roads.

We are hoping to get back up there in the next few weeks to review another site.
