    It's winter maintenance time. Everything from front to back of my jeep needs at least a thorough inspection. Mechanically I have to get rid of an annoying squeal in my rear brakes. Otherwise, I'll be reworking the interior to make survival and medical accessible for search and rescue

    I prefer the jetboil halfgen. Small, extremely reliable, and effective

    Are newer vehicles preventing you from choosing them for overlanding due to complexity?

    I do understand a desire for simplicity. Although I have a 2018 jlu rubicon with a 2.0l turbo and it's a mild hybrid, keeping this simple is important. Whether you choose a vehicle with all the bells and whistles or a manual carburetor beast, make sure that it can go where you want to go and...

    Rotopax on roof rack??

    Makes sense. Most of my gear is for recovery and Search & Rescue. I am just looking at other options for fuel storage on my 18 jlu rubicon

    CB radio

    I wish that they would simply include it in the basic ham license. It seems like a cash cow.

    Rotopax on roof rack??

    Unlike many folks, I have no desire to put a roof top tent up there. Most likely all that will go up to are two pelican cases, rotopax, and recovery tools. Good advice on the rubber gaskets. I will add that to my tool kit. Most of the gear goes inside the jeep. Less to see equals less...

    Rotopax on roof rack??

    I recently installed an UpTop roof rack on my 2018 jeep jlu rubicon and wonder if it would be practical to install rotopax up there. Probably two 3 gal rotopax instead of a 4 gal for ease of handling and fueling. I would appreciate any advice or sage wisdom. Willy

    Free, Castle Rock, Colorado, rear seats for 2021 Gladiator, local pickup only

    I have a like new set of rear seats for a 2021 Gladiator. These are black cloth. My son removed them from his gladiator as a rear seat delete, then sold his gladiator. So, my garage is now a parts bin. I also have the original stock rock sliders and front/rear tow hooks. If you want any or...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Next items for the jeep are a base and fridge slide from American Adventure Lab. We installed the roof rack just before Mountain West.

    Convert high lift mount for rotopax

    Final design with steel plate and chrome 3/8 nuts and bolts. This has been a fun project and keeps everything within reach. Sure, I could have done a roof rack or side pods. But with a permanently destroyed knee I am not willing to risk the wrath of my wife for climbing around on my rig.
