Welcome!

I agree with the other responses, fridge is the easy answer. Switching from cooler to fridge was one of the single greatest upgrades we did to our setup. It's just so much less hassle once you don't have to deal with ice bags, in addition to all your food staying dry instead of eventually soaked...

You can get two of the three with a Chinese knock-off diesel heater from amazon/ebay/ali-express. They're reasonably quiet and easy on the wallet, but not always super intuitive to control. the installation is pretty straight forward if you watch YT videos, don't even bother with the user...

Update! Been a super busy last week and a half or so, but here's the update: I still have the issue :sob: The stress test I put it through started off great. I put it through the worst case scenario, on the way to the trail there was a ton of stop and go traffic, lots of idling, yadda yadda...

Ooh, ok, lemme think on that list you provided here we go Cooling: Engine temp gauge is never past center, it basically stays center the whole time, which I believe should be around 190-210F. Thermostat is rated at 195. Catalytic Converter: Hmm, good question. I don't have a way in my shop to...

While looking into the purge valve, my memory immediately went to when I was installing my Genesis Offroad dual battery setup. On the JKU, part of the install includes cutting the evap purge line and retrofitting it with some 9.5mm rubber tubing in order to allow relocation of the purge valve...

If you are like me, you have an EVAP system in your rig. Even if you're not like me, you still have one, unless you are one of those cool Rivian or F150 Lightning folks or are driving something made before the 70s. If you are also like me, you know jack sh*t about the nitty gritty details of the...

We carry the 12" DeWalt with a 6ah battery and it's been incredibly useful on a number of occasions. One time when out on a remote recovery we had to clear a path down an extremely overgrown wash. We had to stop and trim branches about every 30 feet for TWO HOURS and it somehow lasted the whole...

Welcome! That's a nice looking VW!

Great responses in this thread so far, I'll add some less glamourous absolute must-have items that I recommend for anybody going into the wilderness, especially if you typically go as a solo vehicle. 1) Maps - Have a map of the area you are exploring. Spend some time getting generally familiar...

I have all the parts I need to finally swap out the compromised suspension on our trailer. I assembled one swing arm today and hope to do the other one tomorrow. I still need to take the new rims to the tire shop to get my tires mounted early next week but after that I should be able to do the...

You might consider the "AZ6 Young to Winona" leg of the AZBDR route which i think they label as "Section 3" and "Section 4". It drops south off of HWY 40 and will take you to Young, AZ. From Young you can continue on 288 south to Globe through Tonto NF. West from Globe will take you right to...

I really need to do a full walkaround update of our setup, but here's some quick pics. Here's the current setup. The core has remained basically the same for the past few years with a few upgrades here and there One major change we've made is that I removed our old galley from the back of the...

What a great view!

In addition to the wife and kids, we have an R.O.U.S. named Chencha and a rat named Tito. They love nothing more to be out on the trails. for the curious, they are both Xoloitzcuintli mix

well dang, check engine light popped back on this morning :sob:

yeah, i was worried because some of my googling brought up like totally cracked apart flywheels and stuff :fearful:. mine had never gotten bad enough to go into limp mode or anything so i was hopeful it was just a sensor or dirty connector

i'm on a roll with the jeep lately, i almost feel... dare i say it... productive! This morning i finally tackled the P0016 code that I've been ignoring for an embarrassing amount of time. It was as simple as swapping out my Bank 1 (LHD passenger side) cam position sensor and then resetting the...

Welcome, Greg! I'm in Tucson!

OK, this is cheating a little bit since i didn't do this "today" but instead "last week" but i regeared my (manual trans) JKUR from 4.10 to 4.88 finally. It was a good experience, i went in kinda scared since i've always heard its super hard, requires special tools, yadda yadda yadda. The...
