    Vehicle Cleaning -> as part of Maintenance

    This makes sense to me, I've never discovered an issue because I've given the rig a cleaning, but I agree that you can't necessarily discover and diagnose an issue that you may not see due to mud and other road gunk on the rig. Around here they use way to much salt on the roads this time of...

    Cleaning (and protecting) an emblem on a rig

    Mine has what appears to be salt all over the emblem. I've tried to use a soft bristled tooth brush and dawn dish soap to clean the crevices but it seems to have done no good. Is there a way to safely apply clear coat to the emblem to protect it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Cleaning (and protecting) an emblem on a rig

    Question regarding storage on smaller rigs

    Only issue with that is the antenna that's mounted up there now is a through the roof NMO mount... Now you've got me thinking about adding another mount to the lift gate and moving the primary VHF/UHF antenna over there... that would free up the existing mount... Hmm. Decisions... Sent...

    Question regarding storage on smaller rigs

    I have a large auqatainer somewhere at home. For just me, it wouldn't need to be more than a few gallons of water at most. The thought of a half width shelf never really crossed my mind, that might not be a bad option. Now to start drawing up plans... Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Question regarding storage on smaller rigs

    Greetings, As I start to plan out my build using my 2008 Jeep Patriot as a platform, I run across an important issue: storage. One complaint I have about this vehicle is it's utter lack of storage, and as I generally do an overnight here and and overnight there, I am thinking that I can use a...

    Jeep Patriot Overland

    Nice to see another MK rig. Question on your lights: how exactly are they mounted? I've been looking at getting some for a while (I tend to end up on dark country roads and I always like more light) and don't want to pony up for the factory lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Let's see those 2wd Builds

    I have to say that it's awesome to see another MK in here. I'm still working on my build, planning things out. I have too many expensive hobbies and not enough money... JayToo100: may I send you a PM with some questions about your build? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
