    Solar Camp Light Reviews/Suggestions

    We have used the Biolite SolarHome 620 the last couple of trips and really like it. The lights are independently dimmable and you can use all or just one or two if you want. The kit comes with a separate solar panel to charge the base. The base also has a light on it as well and USB charging...

    Hiker Trailer - anyone have experience with them? (Now Buildout)

    OK. The trailers take about a month to a month and a half to build depending on whether all the pieces are there at the factory. When I ordered mine in June of last year, I was number 40 on the production list. That's 39 builds ahead of me. Wes has 2 other guys that work with him. Figure...

    Great looking Hiker! My wife and I are going to Noblesville in June to talk with Wes about a 5x9 Offroad. I see you have the forward 3rd roof rack bar. Is that for the awning? I have pretty much decided that is the awning I am going with and just curious if the standard 2 bars will support...

    New Guy from sunny (NOT) Florida

    Thanks for the welcome. I have been researching the overland trailer angle. Looking more at teardrops than RTT types. Getting older and climbing ladders are becoming less appealing. Hope to see some of at the Overland Expo East at the end of the month.

    New Guy from sunny (NOT) Florida

    Saying hello from NE Florida. Found out about the site on Wrangler Forum. Great site you have here. About 3 years or so from retiring and the wife and I are looking forward to seeing the country on the roads less traveled. The rig is a 15 Rubicon Hard Rock in tank green. First Jeep...
