Something that a lot of folks don't do, but we consider vital, is to try to check out the place you will be parking before you park there. It will make it easier to spot fluid leaks. Each morning, we pull our rig forward 20 feet and look where we parked for any colouration changes that could...

I know this isn't your exact situation, but I just bring a spare set of keys. Whenever I need to leave the dog in the car for any length of time, the engine stays running with the AC on. But in my case, I'm not worried about theft of the vehicle. It takes a special kind of thief to willingly...

@Lanlubber and @old_man -- dontcha know that REAL cowboys just take a spoonful of coffee beans, chew 'em up to grind 'em, and then chug boiling water straight off the fire coals to wash 'em down? ;)

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing the full blood and guts of retrofitting this snorkel to your rig. I can imagine the nerves were a bit raw after cutting holes in the fender, but I will say one more time that it really does look great on there. I wouldn't know it wasn't designed for the Cherokee...

Can't say much about the Coleman but we have a stainless cabelas percolator. We found with ours you have to be unafraid to jack the heat early on, but then ease it down after it boils. I'm not sure if maybe in your case there isn't enough heat getting into the pot to start the perk? Here is our...

As others have said the RTT really comes into it's own when you camp in a different spot each night. This is mainly because you don't have to hunt around for a place to pitch a tent. Traditional ground tents have requirements to get a good pitch on the ground -- can't be to rocky or Rooty, if it...

That looks really good. You would never know it was made for a different vehicle if you didn't mention it. How did you come to select that particular snorkel for your application? Have others used that snorkel on the Cherokee? And do you mind posting up a bit of a story on how it all came...

Some really good advice in your post of things to consider! I also appreciate and agree with the suggestion to have a good knife on you. The only thing I would add that a lot of violence and risk to self when travelling is a result of situations escalating unintentionally. Ego and Emotion get...

That makes perfect sense, that little device adds a lot of options. I may look at adding one to my build now too. Thank you for answering that! Totally understood on the space limitations. You gotta make due with what you can. Thanks again for answering my questions -- hopefully the traffic...

You joke, but... For any trips between April and November (though the shoulder months depend on the weather that year), I'll be on the bike and my wife will be in the 4x4. Both are kitted out for overlanding and while the main reason is enjoyment, the secondary reason of having a vehicle to...

The best way to travel! With enough bungee cords and gumption, a bike can hold a lot more than just the stove, too. There is some amazing riding out that way, especially through the Columbia River Valley area if you end up out east of the state, and getting into the Cour D'Alene area in Idaho...

I am 100% not an expert on these systems, but I'm eager to hear what others say and appreciate you putting this out there -- I'm just learning for my own build. If I'm understanding the diagram correctly, I don't see anything that immediately jumps out as contrary to what I know -- but again...

I see your comment and raise you the headlights that come on a Jeep JK. Used to have to get out with a Bic lighter and check to see if they were on! Jokes aside, I am impressed with the stock headlights but I am curious -- which HID setup did you go with? Great looking truck btw. I love the...

Heres some handy info that will help you get it to where you want it! https://www.oldcolemanparts.com/resources/re_stove_a.php

I think trailers are great for a lot of applications. But I don't like them, having had experience both with trailers and without. There are three reasons I don't like them for my application, and I think these reasons are worth considering for others, but as with all things a person has to...

I love my 425, though I have the new one. I would say that the quality may not be as good as the old stoves, but that doesn't mean the new ones are 'poor' quality by any stretch. Mine is pretty rugged and shows no obvious weaknesses when compared to older models. The fact that they can run on a...

I would love to -- I originally had them linked in my post but for some reason OB gave me an error when I hit submit. I just tried again and got the same error, so the best way to get there is sort of a roundabout method. Go to www.Sportchek.ca and search for "Woods Parka" -- the model is the...

I have not seen anyone mention this brand yet, but Woods is fantastic and I can't recommend them enough. A little back-story: Woods outdoors products, formerly known as the Woods Tent and Canvas Company back in the day, was THE foremost outfitter for arctic expeditions. They made big canvas...

I feel like a few more questions are valuable when trying to buy a stove, because I've spent a ton of money on stoves over the years and always found situations where they didn't work. First thing to consider is where are you using the stove? If you do not plan on high altitude, with a focus...

Hi Fullmetal, Looks like you have a standing offer but I'm happy to help too! I've got some experience with handhelds and mobile setups (Handheld - tiny, fit in your hand; Mobile - the kind that's mounted to your truck). I have no HAM experience with a "Shack" setup (a desktop HAM). I wonder...
