    Best way to mount a solar panel to freedom tops?

    The cross bar is a good idea. I wanted the solar on the freedom top so I could be always charging when the sun is out. I have a folding solar panel too, I could maybe plug both in. I'm guessing I'd need both panels to be about the same wattage.

    Best way to mount a solar panel to freedom tops?

    I want to mount a panel to my jeeps freedom tops, probably not permanently, something that will not be blown off, but something that can be removed when not camping. Any ideas? 100 watt panel seems the appropriate size. When I go camping, I use 2 large Plano cases so mounting to the rack won't work.

    Plano Owners, Ideas to Use the Tie-Down Ends

    What is tie down ears? I currently use Plano cases and used ratchet straps, but broke 2 cases when I wheeled a little top fast and hard. I think they weren't strapped down tight enough, never had an issue before. I plan on getting the same Plano cases, as I haven't found any in that dimension...

    Is Electro-Overlanding a thing yet?

    I think the hybrid only makes sense for driving short distances to work. I rented one for over a week and was not impressed. It wasn't bad, but my diesel was getting more mpg on 37s than the 4xe on stock 32" tires. Also more torque at the low end is nice. I've wheeled 3 days, and was averaging...

    How did you get where you are now?

    Was tired of my car and wanted something 4x4 so I didn't have to camp at campgrounds, never liked camping anywhere other people are around, I don't even want to be in visible range or audio range. So a modified 4x4. 3.5" lift with 37" tires. Joined some forums, and that's how it began.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Some random tools. Gmrs radios. More usbC since old ones crapped out. I'm not sure what I plan to buy next. Maybe a vacuum to keep tidy on longer trips. And also a 8" electeic chainsaw.

    Light pod advice

    Hello, I'm looking for some advice/knowledge. I ordered 2 light pods and 2 pigtails. I want to wire them directly to an aux switch. Will the pigtail be enough or do I need an entire harness with switch and relay? I believe the aux switch has power and relay already wired, so so could some...

    What is your favorite Go-To knife for overlanding.

    I love knives. I bring at least 5 knives when camping. Just because. 2 kitchen knives (chef and paring). 1 outdoor knife (for wood and miscellaneous) 2 pocket knives (wife and I use it as a steak knife) Also a spear, for fun and defense against a coyote or lion. It's fun throwing it at...

    Already got some off Amazon. They were fairly cheap. Rival wanted $50 for 4 pieces, so I said no. $15 for 8 seems a better deal haha.

    12v fridge recommendations

    Had a dometic cf18 (18 quart), went to a alpicool 35 qt. Love this fridge. Dual zone, app controlled if you want. It sits in my rig full time now, so helpful with groceries. I went for the biggest one that would fit. It has handle and wheels, so it barely fits. Sometimes the jeep tailgate...

    I think I've watched almost all of his videos, even if I'm not getting the products he's testing, it's just so well done.

    Is Electro-Overlanding a thing yet?

    Until they vastly improve range, probably not. You'd have to bring some generators and charge them all night, and I'm not even sure how much range that'll give you. Until they get 600+ road range and 400+ offroad range, I won't even think about it. My jeep gets 400+ road, 300+ offroad, and I...
