    Alasaka Bound

    Thanks everyone for all of the great info you’ve posted here. I’ll look for the other Alaska thread to see what lies in there as well. My wife and I will be headed on a similar adventure from So Cal next year 2020, most likely leaving in the springtime. We want to take our time and arrive in...

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    Getting ready to start a complete revamp of my lighting system. Switching from HID’s to LED’s. Have a friend who recommended a very good American brand, Baja Designs. I like the old school look of large rounds vs a light bar. 9” rounds like the ones I have on there now....just LED this time...

    Great idea! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost taken the involuntary dive in the middle of the night!

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    We have found jerry can water to be a pain in the butt to access while on the trail. Having to unstrap them and then hoist the 40+ pound beast out of its tightly fit high sitting holder isn’t fun. My wife of 5’3” has to stand on the tailgate to get to them. After searching, we didn’t like the...

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    Just added this storage shelf in back of the rig. To be used for soft goods we need easy and regular access to. Things like jackets, pillows, gloves, etc... Should provide good ventilation for wet gloves and things like that. Found the shelf in gray color to match the interior at Home Depot...

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    We needed a small work surface to get things off the tailgate in order to allow the lower drawer and fridge drawer to slide out over the tailgate. We were constantly having to shift things back and forth and wanted a simple solution close by and easy to set up. Hard plastic material cut to...

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    The limb risers worked like a charm on a recent trip across the Southern Arizona desert. Especially in the washes where brush, mesquite, and other flora was growing across at windshield height. They picked the limbs up and tossed them over the top. Added a bunch of new desert pin striping to...

    Tripod Camp Table

    Brilliant! I’m going to make one today. I’ve had a tripod rolling around in the back of my daily driver for years. Since cell phone cameras are so incredible today, I haven’t found a need for my camera tripod. Thanks for the idea!

    Hang your utensils from your Skottle!

    Great idea! My wife is going to be so happy. I was about to take mine down to a local welder to have small hooks welded onto the bottom. I never thought about the hooks getting hot and melting utensil handles. It’s been a pep-peeve of ours having to set up another small surface to place the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Did some exploration thru the Southern Arizona desert this past week. We found some really cool places to shack up for the nights we were out. Fun times.

    Lets see some trail photos!

    Somewhere West of Yuma. Discovered a bunch of old abandoned gold mines. Super cool experience. We were the only ones out here. Didn’t see another soul for 30 miles of dirt, rock, sand and gravel roads. Really fun navigating the river trails. So thankful for good nav equipment. Wouldn’t of...

    RTT, Lights all 4 sides, axe, 2 Zarges aluminum cases for recovery gear and auto parts/oil/antifreeze/etc... stuff I don’t need to get to every day. Cases are held down with locking steel reinforced straps in case I want to take them down easily. I didn’t want to punch holes in them as they...
