Solar charge controllers are only $30, sometimes less on ebay, it will eliminate lots of real problems and prevent potential problems. My co worker that is into solar for overlanding is slowly tweaking his system. Right now he has a pair of 100 watt solar panels for when he is parked. He also...

Grew up using one of the 5 gal blue water containers with a proper brass house bibb fitting and a 5 ft garden hose but for my trips now I also bring a 3 gallon pump sprayer with the mist nozzle cut off. If I don't take the trailer I find the pump sprayer has a much smaller footprint in the jeep...

Cheapo Exide class 27 deep cycle. I was running the dual purpose but kept having to replace them every two years with heavy and regular use. The new one is a proper deep cycle, 105 amps @ 20 hr capacity. Why cheap out on such an important piece? I'm also designated power in my group so I've...

This is a perfect reason such discussions need context. Some products have reached price equilibrium while others have not. Same can be said of the quality equilibrium.

I use a small pump sprayer like for household herbicide (but never been used). I also mount it where the hot air from the generator blows on it. After an hour of generator run time for lights and such, the water is warm. Advantages: cheap, easy to use, no electricity needed, very small footprint...

Or carry some of the cleaning gloves that go to your elbow and wear warm gloves underneath.

You might need to widen that axle or put spacers. When the trailer gets loaded, the axle will flex a little and those tires will likely rub.

I rant about both sides of this topic. I've gotten tired of the Walmart model teaching people that you can pay 60% of the original price for 50% of the quality. Stores like that began an arms race, not for better products but for lower prices at the expense of quality. What good does the saved...

I second adding storage instead of chopping it down. My plan had also been to chop the tongue down on this boat trailer but instead I used the spare parts for a front deck.

Hill country hunter here. I actually didn't get any good pork this year, focused primarily on surf fishing.

I'll make an open invite for anyone that is interested. Matagorda trips are usually a few days of hard fishing.

I've got half a spacer lift kit in my jeep patriot so that it rides level when fully loaded. As for the two lifts you included, it says the 4" lift is a 2" suspension and 2" subframe (body) lift.

I'll be doing trips to Matagorda once the water warms up and also considering poking around PINS this year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using OB Talk mobile app

If you've got a tractor supply near by, they usually have a wheel that bolts onto the leg in the trailer section. These can also be found online pretty easy. http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/bulldog-replacement-caster?cm_vc=-10005 Installation only requires a saw, drill and about 30...
