Overlanding Off-road Family Adventures

I found this footage on an sd card the other day and had to share it with you. This was from August 2022 at the summit of Engineer Pass. The view is fantastic !

I put together a 969 image time lapse recorded with GoPro Hero on August 5th-6th 2022 . The location was North of Cabool, Missouri in a dark sky area. Please enjoy the stars and beautiful astronomy display.

Here are a few tips for taking wildflower photos. You can create beautiful images with any type of camera by following a few simple tips. Check out Sally's Etsy Shop where you can find overlanding related items made by me including cards printed from my original photography from our most trips, 3D printed mini traction board key chains and a few fidget toys. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Smzajacobs92Overland Artwork is also available at www.sallyjacobsphotography.com

Mike is replacing the DSSV shocks on the 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 with a 4" BDS lift before our next overland trip. Installing the Radflo shocks on the front was completed in a few hours.

We frequently pass over these two old narrow bridges on our travels. The Cairo Ohio River Bridge on US 51 takes you from Kentucky to Illinois and the Cairo Mississippi River Bridge on US 60/62 goes over the mighty Mississippi from Illinois to Missouri.

It's almost Alex's birthday so I put together some of my favorite clips from this last year. My goal with this channel is simply to inspire families to get outside and spend time together. I encourage you to make memories and moments you will never forget. This year Alex saw his first big lake, he got to touch a cloud on the top of a mountain, we saw waterfalls, found a geo cache, and made memories we will always cherish.

Mike ordered a tune after installing 456 gears in the Chevy Colorado ZR2 in 2020 and hasn't been happy with the results. We would constantly encounter a dead pedal where even though the accelerator was engaged the vehicle would not climb or produce power under load. This was extremely frustrating and even dangerous while out exploring and overlanding on more difficult off road trails. He decided to delete the purchased tune and create his own to fix the issue. We documented the results as he worked through the tuning tables. I do not own the rights to whatever music that was playing on the radio for a few seconds. I do not intentionally break copyright laws. Thanks for watching! Please like and Subscribe to help build our channel.

We stopped out at Artemis Overland Hardware December Rigs and Coffee this past Saturday. Here is a walkaround of all the awesome rigs that we got to see. It was amazing to visit with everyone and donate to the toy drive.

I found this little video from 2013 on our first long trip to Utah. We pulled a pop-up from Iowa, parked it at a campsite in Moab Utah and explored the area for 10 days. This is the trip that made me fall in love with overlanding. Back then we just called it "Camping and 4 Wheeling". I remember we discussed getting a roof top tent that year. We didn't actually get one until 2020. We still have the H3 and took it back to Moab Utah in 2019 & 2021. The pop-up is no longer with us but the memories we have will never be forgotten. Spending time exploring with my family is my favorite thing to do.

Mike shows us how he extended power to the bed of the ZR2 without cutting into the factory wiring using a Curt 56070 wiring harness extension. Visit us on Instagram & Facebook @smzajacobs92
