Lots of fires around. My son is doing McGruder corridor over labor day weekend with friends, hope the fires in that area don't grow. I am going to Cooke City, MT to spend time on the Goose Creek trail system over Labor Day. No fires in that area yet, but still 2 weeks away. Hate to see the...

I mounted my fuse box in the tongue box next to the battery using adhesive Velcro. Easier to remove and look at the fuses. I also made a ground block out of aluminum and attached to the negative post. Use a rubber grommet when you drill a hole through metal to protect the wire, qnd smear...

Started my electrical this weekend. First up, setup the fuse box. I started with a fuse box from Orilleys, and daisy chained power to one side. The idea Here is to have one wire provide power to all fuses. Solder all connections, and use marine heat shrink from harbor freight. Extend the...

Yup, more than I am willing to spend, so I'll stay with the $40 13 gallon tank that I will mount on the tray in the back. Don't like giving up the space, but like parting with That much cash a lot less....

Hey, you never know when you might need a quick excursion during daily driving, so my rig is packed with the same recovery gear, tools, trauma kit, welder, etc whether on a trip on going to work. The only thing I add for a trip are my spousal unit and the dog.

Yes, I will be running solar as well, but I am concerned that solar will not keep up with power consumption of the 82 quart fridge.

I'm setting up my trailer right now for electrical. I bought 200 feet of 12 gauge black/white wire for the led light off ebay, which will run all of the LED lights, as well as four 8 inch strip lights for the interior of the boxes and 4 square flood lights for the exterior. I'm running a blue...

A 4 door jeep can make an excellent overland rig if it's properly outfitted. I am going on an overland trip to eastern Montana in two weeks, and both of us have 4 door jeeps. I've tent camped for years various jeeps, but just switched to an off road trailer, but the Jeep is a great platform...

I built a a cargo trailer into an RV, and it takes a lot of work to do it right. As others have noted, off road worthiness is the issue with a cargo trailer because of the low ground clearance, so I purchased as Smittybilt trailer and selling the one I built, as we want to drag the...

What tent and annex do you have?

I guess I should also post my older toy, a 1947 CJ3A I built 20 years ago, Buick V6, 4 speed and My wife has a black 4 door that shows dirt and scratches easily. Mine is white because I don't care about getting it scratched with pushes, and white hides the scratches better than any other...

My winch lets me take more chances, as I know I can rescue myself. I've even winched myself out backwards on 4 occasions when I went down the wrong trail. I ran the winch rope under the middle of the jeep, under the axles, through a D ring on the back bumper to ensure my winch pull was in the...

Nice jeep, love the wheels and the color.

my 2014 Rubicon in Moab on the crack and golden spike at midnight. This trail is completely different in the dark. we finished at 6 am...wife was not happy. Lots of modifications to my jeep, as I like to challenge myself, but don't like to be stranded...

I tend to gravitate towards more difficult trails, and have had a winch on my jeeps for decades. Used every winch to get me out of trouble. One one trip, another rig stripped his spider gears in the rear differential miles in the woods in deep snow in December. I attached my jeep to his jeep...

Welcome from Spokane.

I've gone as low as 5 pounts on my KM2 35 inch tires in the snow to get enough flotation, and run as low as 12 in Moab. Normally, I run 16 rock crawling.

I couldn't find my tongue scale, so decided to just grab the tongue and lift. GEEZ, it's heavy. So, my tank will not go in the spare tire spot. In fact, I will just be putting a propane tank, table and chairs in that spot. I also crawled under the rear of the trailer, and with all the...

Dang, now I'm in a quandary on my water tank. I had the tank, so coated it with bed liner so it blended in with the trailer and made metal straps. Don't want to drill holes unless I have to. Maybe I'll measure the tongue weight tonight...

I spent the weekend prepping our new trailer, so thought I would give my first impression feedback: 1. The trailer is not wired for power, and not even setup to put a battery in the front box. Not sure if a battery hold down system is available, so be ready to fabricate something and wire the...
