    propane tanks

    I see your point and understand your reasoning. For the trailer I'm building and where the tank will go I'll have to cut and redo the mounting tabs from vertical to horizontal then weld it in.

    Portable Grill Recommendations

    Since I'm not very concerned about weight and size anymore I picked this grill up a couple of years ago. It's a Members Mark 2 burner from Sams Club, it was the end of "the season", the last one in the store and the box had a huge dent and hole in it. They were originally marked $100 but the...

    I'm curious why wouldn't you weld it in?

    Cast Iron or No? (weight right now is not an issue for me)

    I bring depending on how long, where and who I'm camping with 2 cast iron skillets, at least 1 dutch oven and my "breakfast skillet". ;))

    Spot, Flood or Diffused

    When I started building my Willys I needed wayyyyyy more light than the stock headlights gave me. I spend a lot of quality time in the pitch black dark going down the road to get someplace to camp or explore. The 2 lane roads out here in the west are dark places. So I got 4 Grote stainless...

    Battery Charging

    I understand being worried about the battery being charged after sitting for a while. Have you had your alternator checked to find out why it only puts out 13.6 volts.

    Flashlights

    I agree with you about the 3 D cell Maglight. My Willys has had 3 of them in it for at least 25 years, I have the LED versions now but they're still there. I have one clipped under each front seat and one inside the right rear door. You can hit stuff, dig holes, drop them they work no matter...

    Winch Roll Call!

    It's a 64 (duh), it still has the original paint on it. ;)) Got to love the old Willys wagons and pick ups. It was part of a run of 525 for the US Border Patrol, special stuff on it and a special body.

    Help me understand auxiliary electrical systems...

    There are many types of wire out there for different applications. If you do a little reading you can find just the wire you need for the job. Here's some of the wire available from a place I get most of my electrical components. https://www.delcity.net/store/Wire-&-Cable/

    propane tanks

    The tank will be welded in and become a permanent part of the trailer. It was designed for a remote fill just like a motorhome has.

    Retired my jumper cables

    You know I was thinking about what if, what if the jump box doesn't hold a charge, what if something inside fails what then? Over the years I've slimmed a lot of my basic equipment down but I think that I would be hard pressed to do away with my jumper cables (I've got 1/0 cables) they're rock...

    Anyone else cook under the hood?

    I've cooked a lot of burritos on the exhaust manifolds in my Willys over the years.

    propane tanks

    I realize most of you won't be interested in this kind of tank but it's what I'll be putting on the trailer I'm building for a buddy of mine. It suits his needs and will tuck up under the trailer out of the way and not take up needed space.

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    I finally got a 12V/120V fridge freezer this summer. After a lot of research and time talking with people that owned them I bought an ICECO JP50, it has a Danfloss compressor with a 5 year warranty. I'm impressed with it, it works well and is very quiet. So money well spent!

    Bow saw or other for small firewood chores?

    I have an old bow saw I've used for 50 years, a couple of hatchets, an axe, a Pulaski and at least one shovel when I'm camping.
