Ok you guys, the Rebelle starts in TEN DAYS. Here's the scoop: 1. Follow @teamfreerangedames , @rebellerally and @elise.bent(Elise Bent) on Instagram, Facebook. Heck - turn on post notifications for the duration of the Rebelle to make sure you don't miss a thing! (Until Oct 20) 2. Sign up for...

On Day 2, we took the sand highway to some more intermediate dunes, to practice going down steep slipfaces. As intimidating as they look, it’s simply a matter of pointing the vehicle straight down and rolling slowly as the sand gradually. We also did our first Rebelle blue checkpoint: we were...

A few weeks ago, Mercedes and I headed all the way down to nearly Mexico for the Rebelle U, a Sand Dune training to help prepare Rebelles for the actual Rally. After having spent the week before in Alaska, it was a jarring change of weather (and when I finally returned home to Bozeman I was...

Hey cruiser folks, I will be holding a map and compass class on Tuesday, August 21st at 7pm sharp. Key details: - Bring your own compass if you have one. I will have a very limited quantity of extras. If you don't have one, consider picking one up at REI - basic models with everything...

give us a shout at info@bigskyoverlandrally.com with the times you are available. We might still have something for you.

Y’all are awesome!

Hey all! As some of you may know, 406 cruisers is an official "volunteer" sponsor of the Big Sky Overland Rally taking place August 3-5. What this means for you guys is, you as club members have the opportunity to volunteer in exchange for 100% free attendance (including camping!). We ask that...

The Big Sky Overland Rally is happening August 3-5th at the historic Sacajawea Park in Livingston Montana. If you haven't bought your tickets yet, head over to bigskyoverlandrally.com . This is its inaugural year, and we are working hard to make it a really fun event! We have a few great...

Awesome photos and write-up! I had a blast at NWOR. Normally I'm stuck in the vendor booth all day but we switched it up this year, and I got to wander the booths, take some classes, and chat to a whole bunch of people. It's cool to see all the different experiences people had at the rally. For...

Definitely great ideas! We have a gofundme here and are working on potential sponsors. It's tough though because although we've had plenty of gear offers, we mostly need cash which is harder to come by. So, in person fundraisers are becoming a part of the plan.

So I recently came back from a trip to North West Overland Rally, which was a huge success. For any of you who haven't been, it's a ton of fun and way more relaxed than Expo. There were a ton of great vendors and classes. Notably, there was a phenomenal turnout of women, including the Rebelle...

A few of you have requested this so here it is! My name is Elise, I'm a part of 406 Cruisers and I'm competing in the 2018 Rebelle Rally this fall with my teammate Mercedes. Our 3rd (and most important) teammate is the "Bomber Products Tacoma" you guys see on a regular basis. I will be posting...

Lexus' are definitely more comfortable and way more quiet- the sound deadening makes a huge difference. Really great for an all-rounder. Usually easier to find one that hasn't done offroading, too and is in way better shape for the money. Aesthetically I think I like the LC front end better but...

The container is 40 foot but will have an 80 in it. I’m really just looking for vehicle measurements, since I just can’t find those kinds of specs anywhere.

Hey all, could someone tell me the overall exterior length (nose to tail) of an LJ 70 and an LJ 73? I'm trying to figure out if I can fit a potential new purchase in a shipping container with another vehicle... or 2. 4x4 tetris, if you will. If you have an aftermarket bumper on yours when you...
