Totally. I love the look! I was looking to get something similar and I'm having a hard time deciding on what to get. I'm in the Michigan forests and figure that 3db is probably what I should do too. I was looking at the Melowave, Retevis, and Wouxun offerings and wondering if the Midlands...

How do you like it? Did you go with 3db because of being in more forested/obstructed terrain or because of the length?

Welcome! I'm looking to upgrade my GMRS antenna and I'm curious which one you are using. Is it the Retevis, Melowave Overlander, or one of the new Midlands?

I used a copper pipe elbow and short pipe to get my exhaust out the side. I cut some slots in the elbow to get it to fit over the exhaust pipe and then used exhaust sealant on all the connections.

So here are a few pics of the solution I've come up with. A storage tub was just the ticket. I also switched out my hose for a semi-rigid aluminum tube with a couple swivel elbows. I couldn't be happier with the result. On setting 1 of 6, my little un-insulated 5x8 trailer stayed about 65-70...

It may have at first, but nothing really now. However I had a stinking plastic smell with the foul lined flexible dryer hose I was using. I've now switched to aluminum semi-rigid dryer tube from Menards and it works fantastic and no noxious burning plastic smell.

yeah, I have one of those tire steps too just for this. I like that a lot. I have an awning as well, but sometimes the wind is too much for it and wet snow load can be a problem too. So I'm looking to shield mine from the elements.

I have the Vevo all-in-one unit and I'm thinking of using a shallow storage tub upside-down on it ...attached with some wing-nuts would keep the rain and snow off it and prevent it from blowing off. If I use the same tubs as I already use, it should nest with the others and not take up much...

So I decided to try out a diesel heater from Amazon and got an all-in-one unit so I can use it with my Gazelle tent and my little cargo trailer conversion. I've tried it out and love it. My concern is leaving it in the rain and snow. Has anyone come up with an easy (preferably inexpensive)...

I would love to know more. I have a drawer and slide system in my 3rd Gen, but always planned to put together a better one.. I would love to see more of your plans.

I currently have (and really like) the Renogy 30A DC-DC isolater charger with integrated solar. I also have 100A solar on the roof of my truck to keep my 100Ah LifePo4 battery topped off. The trouble is that I live in Michigan and don't have much solar in the winter. It would be nice to use...

Yeah- a bit more complicated than what I'm hoping to do for this application, but I enjoyed reading that. It sparked some ideas.

I love this idea! I'm betting that this would work on the bottom of the tank too. Then I could strap it down directly to the aluminum tongue of my trailer.

I'm looking for the same sort of thing. I'm currently using a 9-inch 11 lb tank, but usually the same diameter as 5 lb from what I see. I'm thinking of mounting to the tongue of my trailer. Why is everything so dang expensive? I considered just ratchet strapping it down, but would prefer a...

I'm curious about rock lights. I know that some people use them just for show (and that's cool if it's your thing), but I'm more interested in how helpful they are on the trail and at camp. Those of you who have them, are they worth it? Are they useful? Would you do it again or will you on...

This is the one that I am using. It has a nice strong lip to hold it in place and the drain doesn't leak at all. There are LOTS of options on Amazon alone.

Just picked up a different 4Runner to build up. Now to get the first ready to sell.

My wife teased me that I had "everything but the kitchen sink" in my 3rd gen 4runner. Well, I just couldn't let that slide. Here is what I came up with.

Yeah, the beaches and State Park are great; and not just in the summer time. There is a Winter Sports Complex here now that includes an ice-skating trail through the woods, sledding, x-country skiing, hockey rink, and ....wait for it..... a luge track!

Yes the State Park is nice as well as many of the county parks too. The beaches are really amazing. If you are ever this way visiting, give me a shout. It would be nice to meet some OB folks.
