I forgot to mention, in my previous set up, there wasn't a single circuit breaker. Everything was hard wired into their respective devices. I now have Blue Sea circuit breakers...6 of them, going to each critical electrical section of the truck. If I need to cut power to any area, it's as...

I dropped off my rig 3 weeks ago at Goose Gear to have my floor plate, drawers, and camp kitchen installed. Before I dropped it off, after a discussion with Brett at GG over the phone, I decided on a National Luna 52qt fridge. Thought long and hard about a Dometic and an ARB, but decided after...

Great suggestions everyone! They also make a 360 degree sensor that puts out a force field around your vehicle and you can program it to do things like sound your horn, turn on lights, run it through your SPOD and turn on the strobes. I do like the idea of wiring a GPS locator wired up...

Since May of this year, we have been cooking on a the Camp Chef Everest 2 Burner stove and it has been great. It is paired with the little green cans which are easy to deal with and the burners fire from low to high. Boils water like my home stove! We just picked up a TemboTusk Skottle grill...

I concur with what everyone says here. Besides the aforementioned, bring a pad of paper and a pen. Jot down the things you are missing when you miss them. “Oh shoot....I wish I had one of those....”. Jot it down! Also, don’t go in above your skill or confidence level by yourself. Nothing...

LP Rover is right on the money, but if you start with a good base unit and do the preventative things he suggests, those trucks will just go and go. They were built for adventure and very few actually get to see the dirt....at least in our neck of the woods. I had a Disco Series II and loved...

Oh...and welcome aboard!!

You doing a crate Cummins or a rebuild?

My mistake....I did pay now that I remember! I remember communicating with Michael when I first jointed that I think they should charge annual dues as well. Similar to Surfline. I rely on OB more than Surfline and I pay Surfline about $80/year...and happy to do so. I get a lot of enjoyment...

Looks like I'm not on the map either. Lots of updating to do!!! I don't know if you know my address. I tried to figure it out on my profile and all I can see is my city. Let me know and I'll be happy to provide the info so you can get me on there! Thanks....hope all's well. I was super...

Somewhere between the East side of Big Bear City and Landers, CA

Do you have any pics with the bike rack set up? I’d love to get one of these, but I have a rear swing gate tire mount bike rack from Yakima and I’m sure it may be too heavy for the swing mechanism. Does the bike weigh a lot?

Awesome build! Can’t wait to see what you do to it next.....hmmmm... can you do anything more? Love the pics. The 35’s look so right....and I’m sure the 488 helped a ton also.

I wonder what the friction might look like in the presence of dirt or mud.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with! Land Rover builds one of the best vehicles on Earth. They are heavy duty with roots steeped deep in expedition grade rigs. It’s hard to believe the aftermarket hasn’t come up with bumpers, racks, lift kits, spare tire swing gates for your model Range...

Just purchased yesterday, at Costco, for $79, a North Face Wind Wall hoodie jacket. Stretchy, fits great, light weight, takes the edge off the cool evening air, super comfy and would be the coolest OB hoodie around. I’ve seen these at REI for $120. Not sure if water resistant, but maybe a...

I own a home in Baja and go there frequently. The name of the game there is to be respectful of the people, their land, and their ways. Don’t be a know-it-all ugly loud obnoxious elitist American....and you’ll be find. I tell everyone I know who visits there, one word sums up the way to...

Hey Garrett, Didn’t see your post until now. I too have a FZJ80 1997 version. Unfortunately mine didn’t have the front and back lockers, so I had to spend the money and install ARB air lockers...and they are awesome! Hopefully you’re able to make it out to the November 3rd meeting. I missed...

Hi Brien & Ditcherman, Thank you very much and this is exactly what I was hoping to get from our community. You guys are awesome! I’m going to do everything you said. Seems like that makes so much sense. I have been absolutely struggling and feeling so discouraged, but I think the best...

I just purchased and installed a Yaesu FT-897D ham radio for my rig. I have no idea how to use it. I'm taking the self study course and I feel totally lost. Anyone out there have any good ideas on how to learn how to use this darn thing? I know I have to get licensed with an amateur license...
