    Best way to mount a solar panel to freedom tops?

    I want to mount a panel to my jeeps freedom tops, probably not permanently, something that will not be blown off, but something that can be removed when not camping. Any ideas? 100 watt panel seems the appropriate size. When I go camping, I use 2 large Plano cases so mounting to the rack won't work.

    Light pod advice

    Hello, I'm looking for some advice/knowledge. I ordered 2 light pods and 2 pigtails. I want to wire them directly to an aux switch. Will the pigtail be enough or do I need an entire harness with switch and relay? I believe the aux switch has power and relay already wired, so so could some...

    No overlanding for a long time

    I just received a new heart, and it was extremely rough! Because my chest was cut open, it will be a long recovery, and can't even sit up front of the vehicle for months. Small bumps hurt, so I'd imagine no offroading for a long time. Sad because I planned a cool seqioua trip with my wife, my...

    Very bad day

    Jeep died, I don't know how it happened or what this even means. Called my uncle and he says it's fucked and likely they will replace it. Does that mean I lose all my aftermarket parts?

    Do you keep a knife or hatchet/axe in your rig?

    I usually keep a camp knife or hatchet in the back of my jeep, maybe several I find a knife easiest to split wood, by batoning it, takes much less space than a wood splitting axe, and I can use it to cut food.

    Looking for a new battery

    My current battery (jackery 500) will shut off if it doesn't send out more than 10 watts for a few hours, my fridge can drop to 1 watt for hours, hence the battery shutting off. Is there a battery that will keep my fridge on indefinitely?

    Need recommendations for propane stove

    I've been using a small portable butane stove, but it seems I need to upgrade to a slightly larger stove, one that uses the small propane bottles. Any decent stoves that aren't too expensive?
