    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Thanks @OverlandLexusTN ! The bumper arrived 8 days after I ordered it, but Mark had told me they had some in stock. Thanks for the tip on the front runner steps- I'll check those out. And yes I posted the ladder in the Parts for Sale section, so I'm sure it will find a new home before too long.

    SOLD GOBI Ladder GX470, Bay Area, $185, local or ship

    I just installed a new Metal tech rear bumper and unfortunately the ladder had to go to make room for the swing arm. Had it for about 5 months, includes all the mounting hardware except 3M adhesives which can be found at most hardware stores and Amazon. Still looks almost new. Prefer local...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    So I finally got the bumper mounted yesterday. Didn't take enough pics, but I did run an air hose into the driver side "step". Haven't had a chance connect it all up, but it's installed and feels incredibly solid. Unfortunately I did have to remove the GOBI ladder to clear room for the swing...

    Overland Cooking and Recipes

    Had a good time reading this thread- thought I'd resurrect with a few recent successful meals we've made. First is personal pizzas on the Coleman oven. Used naan bread, a jar of pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese. Very quick and tasted great: I also found that many grocery stores sell a...

    I haven't measured it personally, but others report a peak pull of about 5.6 amps when the compressor is really working.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Installed the Slee bracket and mounted the air compressor. Put in the Blue Sea fuse block and wired the fridge and lights into it. Now have to figure out the compressor wiring. Btw- anyone have a recommendation on the fuse size for a 42L fridge?

    A couple from the Grand Canyon coming back from Expo West. Is it weird that I have almost as many pics of my rig as my kids? Lol

    Anyone at expo yet?

    My son and I had a great time at our first Expo yesterday and today. We really enjoyed seeing all the vendors, the "celebrities" and especially the amazing rigs! The camping and parking areas were full of the coolest rigs- it was like a whole other show. Have to admit I also really loved taking...

    SOLD Wilco Hitchgate Classic Expo West

    Hey there- so last week I did this to my rig! Unfortunately I backed into someone. Didn't touch the hitchgate, but instead of fixing the bumper I'm going to replace it with a Metal Tech Pegasus. So I'm here at Expo West and would be happy to find it a new home. I can get the spare home if I...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I finished the dual battery install last night. Used the T-Max dual battery kit on Amazon as it had good reviews and only cost $120. I was pleasantly surprised to find the kit had all the wiring and connectors I needed. It included enough 4 AWG wire to run between the batteries and solenoid, and...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    So I did this to my 120 today. Crap. Well now I have a good excuse to go from the hitchgate to the metal tech Pegasus.

    It's from Trail Gear http://www.trail-gear.com/product/5115/battery-box-kit-single-diehard#.WQ3fzoFlCaM and was a whopping $39. Can't beat that. I did snap a few more pics of the way I mounted it last night. You can see the leftover piece of alum extrusion I used to compensate for the shape of...
