OnX has become pretty ubiquitous in Western hunting. I'd expect them or a similar platform to achieve the same in offroad.

Thanks, Idaho Savage! My day job is with onX, and I'm looking forward to joining you all out CO this summer. I work on the finance and ops side of the business, but I'll do my best to answer any questions about the app now or when we get closer to the event.
Any tablet that is relatively modern will work well. Personally, I recommend an iPad mini with cellular connection. (I'm iOS through and through, but an Android tablet would do the trick too. I just don't know the details.) I dig the Mini because it's small enough to mount in the truck without taking up a ton of space. Cellular connection is key because only those iPads have GPS chips. Also, our product works best in portrait mode--for now--and I think a small tablet in portrait works better in the truck than a bigger one.
Also, light weight is nice. A big, heavier iPad Pro jiggling around while on a trail would make me crazy.

Any chance of this app being integrated into Apple Carplay?
It's something we are working through. The CarPlay and Android Auto implementations are somewhat constraining on the user experience, so we are looking at how we can make the onX experience consistent (and awesome) with what is available through those products.
lets start a different thread if you want to discuss the app more

For those of you that did Ouray two years ago in a stock LX 570, were your steps at risk or get damaged.
Thinking about doing Slee sliders, but the reality is they probably wouldn’t get used much except for LCDC type of annual events.
I am running KO2s and Rock Warriors.
Thoughts?

I’ve not been to Ouray. I did add sliders before LCDC last year plus’s BP51 lift and one size up on tires. My stock passenger side running board would not have survived. Maybe I would have picked different trails or lines if I had been OME stock. There were multiple stock 200s at the event.

Beside offering protection for your rocker panels, sliders offer door ding protection (from car doors) in parking lots!
Are sliders required/recommended? Much depends on what trails you plan on running around Ouray.
In 2019, both ‘Black Bear Pass’ & ‘Poughkeepsie Gulch’ were not open during LCDC 5 because the winter snow pack had not been cleared.
We did ‘Black Bear Pass’ in my stock LC200 (except for Slee SliderSteps & KO2 tires) during LCDC 4, however without the Slee SliderSteps my stock passenger side running board would have been damaged.
We also did 'Poughkeepsie Gulch' (except for 'the wall') during LCDC 4 and was thankful that I had installed the traditional Slee SliderSteps (aka 'sliders').
Note:
Slee offers 'Formed' SliderSteps for both the LX570 and LC 200 series.
Booked a place.
Any recommendations on places to stay? The whole family is coming, so 3 kids and 2 dogs. I was looking at the Twin Peaks Lodge.
Also looking to hopefully secure a spot once registration opens and join as a first timer!

For anyone still looking for a place to stay, I initially booked a site at the KOA when I thought I was going solo. Then my wife decided to come with but didn't want to tent camp so we booked a bungalow at Ouray RV Park & Cabins. Now my daughter and son-in-law plus a couple friends are coming and my wife found a bigger place on VRBO. Funny that no matter how old my kids get, I still seem to underwrite the vacation lodging. 
I've canceled the bungalow at Ouray RV Park & Cabins and will cancel the KOA site tomorrow as you have to do that on the phone. Sorry to soak up multiple places as my actual plan materialized. I just didn't want to have miss out on finding a place. I waited too long last year and got lucky at the last minute.
(part of me kinda wants to camp solo and let the fam hang at the VRBO but that might risk being "solo" and sleeping in a tent for a much longer time...)

This thought also crossed my mind.

Honestly... Congrats.
Great to have a family that wants to do that stuff with you.
“I wish I did less with my family” is something old men say...like never.
Some Land Cruising...some hot springs...some hiking....some annoying each other.
Families are awesome.
Truck time goes something like this...

Same situation here. Got the VRBO in town and a site at Amphitheater campground for evening campfires and snoring.For anyone still looking for a place to stay, I initially booked a site at the KOA when I thought I was going solo.

I see you are in Olathe. I'm planning on stopping in Leawood and Lawrence on the way to see some friends and break up the drive.

Starting to get pretty stoked. Driving from PA, bringing my brother who's never done anything like this, so thats awesome. Gonna hit Dayton, and Chicago, anyone have any suggestions for neat/obscure/wild things between PA and ouray, please shoot em my way. Hit a lot of cool stuff solo last year, looking to one up myself this time.

If you are taking 80 across from Chicago, Starved Rock State Park is worth a visit. I grew up near there and haven't been in over 20 years, but I remember it being pretty cool.
