Wavian is the go to quality metal nato Jerry can. I have had 6 full size an 2 10L cans for years, they work great! No problems what so ever. I use green for gas, blue for kerosene, and yellow for diesel. The small cans hold mixed fuel for my chainsaws. The gaskets go bad after a few years...

They just came to market so I doubt there is much real world experience yet. I love my 2.0, no complaints at all. The owner is a stand up guy that does a lot for the community as well.

That’s awesome @Scarab! I’m on the Govoner’s 4x4 response team in my home state as well as my counties SAR team. I also do disaster response with Team Rubicon but I don’t use my POV for that. Keep up the great work!

This is super helpful, thanks @Road! Once I finish the truck bed/drawers I’ll start on this. These projects always make for good lunch time ideation.

I see all kinds of drawers but have any of you made a sturdy shelf to fit on top of your back seat, the bench part? I have a crew cab truck and have built in storage under the seat. When I go on solo trips it would be nice to keep gear in the back seat without damaging it or it bouncing...

They sure are!

So I’ve installed the cradles and went to a Fox 2.0 level up front and the 2.0 shocks in the rear. I’ve also added a cap. I’ve found that daily driving at 30 psi nets a ride that doesn’t bottom out the airbag and doesn’t pogo. This seemed like a lot of pressure but it’s what works. With the...

Not a big update. I took the Slumberjack tarp for a test run during a wilderness medicine class this weekend. While a small amount of rain pooled in the top overall it dis a great job! For the price I highly recommend it, killer amount of coverage. The bed worked out great, I’m looking...

Nice work, this is really cool!

Ohhhhh thanks Kent! Interesting!

Took Brutus out for a Wilderness medicine class this weekend and had a blast!

Gaia gps app on an iPad or iPad mini for mounted use. Bigger screens for handheld are a bit harder as the battery drain is fairly quick.

Chaga from birch trees is absolutely killer for getting an ember started. The stuff is almost impossible to put out. Also, it makes great tea!

Loaded up the gear for a weekend wilderness medicine course! The bed/drawers are only halfway complete. More to come.

I’d search for vehicle specific rock sliders that have a built in step.

T Thanks bud! The wood is called fat wood and is loaded with natural resin. One of the best fire starters out there and it’s waterproof! The stuff is dirt cheap. Glycerin works better than sugar and water with the potassium permanagate but it’s also much more likely to leak in a kit like this.

Yes, I was including suspension, new wheels, and tires in my scenario. The issue with larger tires isn’t always the ability to turn lock to lock on level ground but also at full articulation. Most of the time that requires lift, less back spacing on the wheels and trimming.

Rate of diminishing returns. Your axles are your low point. The difference in ground clearance at the axle between 33” and 35” tires is 1”. 33”s will cost you $1200-$2000 depending on tire and if you will need new wheels. That extra inch of clearance at the axle with 35”s for $8000-$12,000...

Fire is an essential part of survival, you’ll likely need it when conditions are poor. Many rely on poorly designed or just plain unreliable tools as their emergency fire starters. There are many great kits out there, this is just mine. I have these stashed in our cars, camper, back packs...

For how much you paid for that truck it would be a crime to ruin the ride and performance with a 3.5” rough country level!
