Nice find! I've collected some others, and edited up my own, but I especially like this entry from the "expanded list" section of the one you found:

Parts that have broken twice before (if you can't carry it, you should have upgraded it)

So where's the official offroadtb list...incorporating recommended upgrades and parts lists?

Yeah, yeah, everyone's mission is different. :)

The contents of my drawers and Pelican cases are pictured in my build thread. And even that's only 80% accurate as of today. Problem is, I carry so much stuff that I bend axles. (At least my first....)

You broke the code. :excited: What I carry for a week of unsupported offroad expeditioning is not typical for folks outside the western US. You can't GO a week offroading. :poke:
