    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    This is causing us other difficulties now – we have to design our own panels for the other interior panel segments. One to carry a Last US Bag Half Caddy and one for a Redvision display and a paper towel holder. Available solutions are unlikely to work due to the flipped door, which means more...

    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    So, we finished an important step for our build, the difficult parts of the rear door are done: The differences we have in our own build compared to a standard install are: The table is about 9cm lower, which brings it to pretty much exactly the height of our kitchen countertop. The...

    Which App is best?

    LOL, yeah. Possibly. I've worked in the software industry for 30 years, I know too much about usability, user interface design, buggy software, etc. I don't just think that the current offerings all leave a lot to be desired one way or another, I know they do. (that's the most polite I could...

    Which App is best?

    I need to put a qualifier on my opinion: I'm personally NOT looking for just an offroading app. I'm looking for something I can plan a complete trip with. Something that lets me nagivate a two day or a two year trip. With PROPER navigation onroad (Gaia and OnX utterly suck, OnX is actually...

    FOR SALE Maxtrax Trailer Skid – Offroad Trailer Recovery Tool

    If you're going offroad with your trailer, you may end up in a situation where you have to unhitch and pull the trailer from safer ground. Or turn it around in super tight space, or ... the options to getting stuck are endless. To help with that, I have a Maxtrax Trailer Skid for sale. We...

    Which App is best?

    They all suck one way or another. I have yet to find a good trail app that isn’t useless while traveling. Gaia is reasonable for trails, OnX is hopeless for me personally. I find OsmAnd the least worthless, but insanely infuriating to use.

    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    I’m using the free version of Fusion 360. It’s free for private use and a limited number of editable documents. So, other than time, no added cost.

    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    This build really reminds me of work ... it's a looong project that is in an incredibly frustrating phase. We'll need to finish up all these custom things we wanted that aren't available ready to install ... Currently I'm working on a way to mount the outside components of our diesel heater. We...

    first timer questions

    Of course I do. I have a 256GB iPhone and the same in the iPad. Storage is wide open. Gaia sucks because it often doesn't work properly when offline. Search often didn't work for me, routing often didn't work properly. On my last trip, On-X didn't even show city or roadnames when offline. That's...

    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    Thoughts: We really need to get the water system hooked up. A heater is a comfort factor, even in California; it'll be crucial for Alaska. The rear door table is overdue, it'll make life much easier. Lights have become a higher priority during this trip. We got to the first campsite after dark...

    Goal: simple day to day life, small(ish), offroad capable – a Jeep Gladiator build

    @TheBestCow - I’ve done a calculation beforehand. It’ll be very close … although our build isn’t heavier than a Goose Gear system amazingly enough.
