    How much Fuel is enough?

    Good to know. I put 16 only because that's usually where my light comes on. I've run 18 gallons out of it before. Sounds like taking an extra 5-10 gallons might be a good idea, though...

    How much Fuel is enough?

    I'm planning a trip through the upper Mid-west this summer (North/South Dakota, then into Wyoming and Colorado). I expect along the highway portions (which honestly will be the majority) that fuel won't be too hard to come by... but when I start adventuring off the highway, how much fuel should...

    Truck bed campers vs rtt

    I would go with an Aluminum topper - you can seal those way better than with fiberglass, plus you can have side access doors to get at all your gear easily. Then put an RTT on top of that. Should be nice and relatively light-weight, while still affording lots of cargo area, and even limited...

    Ditto. Then gasket and RTV silicone to keep things dry.

    Roof Lights on Xterra Stock Bars

    Thanks @1derer ! I had run across those as well, but wanted to mount pods as I prefer the old-school look. I ended up removing the air dam, fitting a piece of steel between the upper support tabs, then drilling holes in the dam through which to mount the lights. It's super-clean looking, and...

    Off-Road Lighting... What do you run? Why?

    I have a pair of 8" KC Pro-Sport HIDs. I picked them as a reputable company with a decent price. I was originally looking at some of their cheaper Apollo halogens, but when I went to pull the trigger, found out I could finance the HIDs. So far I'm pretty happy with the result. :)

    Switch suggestions?

    I have some switches from OTRATTW. They are Contura V rockers on Carling Tech bodies and I haven't had any issues, even when having shorts on the circuit (yay for fuses!). You have a lot of customization from them, which is nice, and the price is pretty good as well.

    Camp Site Tips and Tricks.

    Ditto on the red LEDs... awesome mod that I really appreciate at night. Also, the kids can turn on the lights to rummage around for things without the glare disrupting my driving.

    Goal zero solar generators?

    Use a heavy-gauge cable (10), fuse the positive (negative too, if you're paranoid), and finally make sure your batteries are at roughly the same charge when you connect them, and have similar capacities. You shouldn't have a problem.

    Standalone GPS

    I think a tab would be great in my vehicle, but what about when I go into survival mode? I'm not convinced a tab would give me enough longevity and juice - obviously this depends on how far out I am!

    Tire size from Imperial to Metric

    I used to drive KO's on snow, no problem. Great tire. I think you'll be happy going that route.

    Auxillary light wiring...

    That's fun! I wonder how well the magnets will hold up to the elements (and jostling)...

    Standalone GPS

    A lot of us just carry our smartphones with built-in GPS, and use Gaia or other apps to plot our courses. But I know many of us also use standalone GPS devices. What devices do you use, and what features do you like? I'm thinking this would be a good thing to add to my kit...
