I never mix my "high quality" shop tools with my "high quality" onboard Jeep tools. :grinning: I carry a good assortment of tools in my Jeep in a large plastic tote . . . especially a number of redundant 10mm sockets and wrenches. This size always goes missing. I also carry various...

We bought my wife a 2019 4Runner Off-Road Premium. Let's just say (for my personal vehicle) I have no intention of ever going "T". Maybe JT. :grinning:

Not the best images, but they'll have to do. Although the unpainted rack has what appears to be rough-looking welds, this is merely the camera. Their welds were very good. The rack has gussets in all the high stress areas. It is built like a tank . . . and with the hitch-tightener, it is...

I had the hitch-mounted rack fabricated by a local welding shop. I saw a few similar versions on various internet sites before I put pencil to paper and laid it out for the shop. I don't remember the gauge, but it is thick-walled tubing. The shop made a few good recommendations in terms of...

The two videos above will also show you how a heavy stock Jeep performs on a ledge. I have two Group 34 AGM batteries in a lockdown cage over the rear axle as well as a fully loaded 56L SnoMaster Fridge on my custom-made rear platform/shelf. The roof rack and supports for the two solar panels...

The National Park is very easy in a Jeep Wrangler. You don't really even need 4wd for most of it depending upon the weather. River Road when wet can be a problem. Black Gap Road is not what it once was . . . people stack rocks at the ledge. My favorite is Old Ore Road. It has a variety of...

Stock Jeep Wranglers can do more than most of us expect. Here is my first time tackling a drop-off on a newbie run at Hidden Falls outside of Marble Falls, TX. Sure looked steeper and scarier in person . . . of course, it would look steeper in the video if the horizon was actually level. It...

When I was younger, I thought 60 was OLD. I even thought 50 was old. Let me tell you, when you get there, if you are healthy, 60 will feel like the old 40. I trust this will continue to be the same as I grow older.

I have a 2017 Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition that is mostly stock on the exterior. The Jeep will be paid off in two years and then I'll have the justification to add a lift and wheels/tires. My wife will veto any big spend like this right now. Until then, I'm happy with the capabilities...

Lesson learned. I assumed Frontrunner was the only USA merchant for these boxes. Should have done a bit more research.

Just placed an order with Frontrunner and there was no free freight on my order of 3-Wolf Packs & 3-Extra height tops. Cost me $28 in shipping. Shipping was the same if I only ordered two of each, so I ordered another one of each to avoid future shipping charges.

Smittybilt 2781 (5.65 cfm) Fills up my BFG KM2 255/75R17 tires pronto. I use it all the time when airing down . . . especially in places like west Texas where we are often 50+ miles from the nearest gas station.

Welcome from central Texas!

Hard to beat an Aeropress. I use an Ascaso Dream PID espresso machine at home . . . the Aeropress is a great alternative on the road . . . even for expresso-based drinks. If I'm really packing light, I'll use this Primula Brew Buddy. And, if space and weight are no issue, I love me some...

I'm getting older and I absolutely hate tents with segmented poles that must be inserted and manipulated to get the tent to stand. I also like to sleep on my XL cot. So, the Oztent RX-4 suits my needs. It is large enough to fit two cots comfortably. And, with the annex installed (for the...

Found him: BK Kustomz (click to follow link) His website doesn't show the QuickPitch shower enclosure, but he was selling both the soft and hard case versions. You might contact him directly. He also fabricated some killer high-density plastic enclosures for electronics. He will do custom...

At the Texas Avid Outdoor Expo in Llano, TX earlier this month. I’ll look for the merchant . . . he is a retired firefighter living in Dripping Springs, TX if I remember correctly. He was much less expensive than others I’ve found online in the US.
