I built a little pulley system for both the roof top tent and the hard cover so I can remove on my own. Pretty simple and only cost me $150 in hardware at princess auto.
I'm running out of real estate. Lol
2 separate but identical systems side by side by the way.
Once sat on the edge of a trail for hours while my brother spliced a Broken throttle cable together by braiding the ends to one another. Gave him just enough to throttle to limp back to the road.
Ahhh. A JK. Good call.
The cooler is a "cabelas polar ice cap equalizer". 60qt.
And bear resistant is probably a more accurate description.
I'm happy with it. Keeps ice better than my old Coleman.
I hear ya. Maybe someone else will have some pearls of wisdom... I have a "Grizzly proof" cooler, but I still tuck it away if I can.
More interestingly... I have a 2005 TJ Wrangler Unlimited (have owned it for about a week), and I'm curious how the heck you sleep in the back... I'm 6'2" and...
Hmmm, that is a ticklish one...
I would suggest a few precautionary measures.
Keep no food open in the jeep. That means don't leave that package of beef jerky in the console, and the French fries under the seat. :-)
When you roll into camp, take Your coolers and boxes out of the jeep for...
I rocked a 2wd Chevy for decades in the bush, exploring back country. Found a ton of trails for later and had a lot of fun dispersed camping.
Tire chains are amazingly good in the winter. And if you're hard up they will do an amazing job in the mud too. They're a bitch to get on and off in the...
You could scavenge the batteries then use them to re-charge electronics in the vehicle without drawing on your starting battery.
Hook a solar panel to them for charging. But I'm with @1derer. I don't think you gain a lot for the weight carried and pain in the ass factor.
I agree. If one isn't made for the truck it may be tough to find one that matches the lines. Having said that I'm sure someone has done it. Start googling and see what shows up. I've seen videos of people find a close snorkel, heat up the curve and adjust it to fit...
Mine is bolted to the...
Full disclosure... I snorkeled. And I like it, but having holes cut into a perfectly good truck made my skin crawl. lol
I'll narrow it down to a couple of reason why I made the decision.
1. Water: I cross water on occasion. Not usually very deep and as a rule I keep it below the bottom...
Interesting perspective. I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra outfitted for long trips and overlanding. Love it. I needed the size for the family. But for the shorter trips locally with a little more off roading sections I find it a bit big. My exit angle in that thing is atrocious.
I'm looking to...
