There should be an outdoor parking lot right outside the boat terminals. Plenty of tourist walking by so the bad guys would have to be ballsy to attempt something around a croud of people? You'd hope.
I haven't read every post here, but yes there are some 'overland' gear that is very expensive. The gear that I see that are expensive seem to be gear that is built in small quantities, hand made, unique design, and/or something hardly no one is making. So those companies have to charge more to...
I only mention my garage opener because as you just noted my garage / home is 20 years old lol. It’s on borrowed time. So when I do take out my daily driver I’m like, hope the garage opens when I get home lol.
My truck is most of the time my daily driver only because to get to my daily driver (2018 Volvo XC90) out of the garage I have to move the truck from the driveway. It's easier to just get in the truck and drive away lol. Plus, I don't like opening and closing the garage due to wear and tear...
My 2002 Silverado 2500hd is not worth much if it did get into an accident. I probably wouldn't start over immediately. If I did, however, I still stick with a full size truck. I can't see myself going smaller, even though there are some awesome mid-size trucks out there.
I don't OL as much as I like, but the gear that I have collected so far as been multi-purpose, which is the mindset I have used in choosing what gear to buy. Things like my fridge, Jackery, portable lights, etc. I have used for power outages, normal land travel, and really just to have for...
Yup since it was/is a DIY set based on my existing setup, the risers do get in the way. However, I just loosen the turnbuckles and the cables come right off and/or away from the hood. Maybe a minute a side at most.
Congrats on getting your Tech license. I think the first thing I did was check for any firmware updates, then I programmed my unit with stations/repeaters I think/thought I might need. Where ever you think you might travel, just plug those in and the rest just put on a piece of paper. I put a...
Hi Jeff,
So the EG group will meet tomorrow at 6:30'ish at Steve's Pizza, instead of the normal every third Thursday, which would have been last Thursday?
Thanks,
Rolando
I made my own wire loom. The lights have about a foot long of positive/negative wires coming out of them. I connected them all together, two on each side, then connected to central wire that goes down cab.
This is the remote fob I used to connect the lights https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EXKUP5C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I addition here are some pictures of the wiring. So down the back, underneath truck, up through tailgate crack, then to universal remote.
I installed 4 LED lights, 2 on each side of my camper shell. I ran the wires in-between the shell and cab, just like you have in mind, then ran it down, and under towards the back and up inside the shell where I have a solar battery. I turn it on/off using a wireless remote fob I got from...
If you want to go the roof tent mount on camper shell, then I would definitely look for on that is reinforced from the inside or one that you can add a contractor's type reinforcement on the outside of shell, especially if putting 4 kids. I have a camper shell and was thinking the same, but...
