    What to get

    Good handheld GMRS radios are available in the $100-150 range. I've had good results with Wouxons. We got ours from buytwowayradios.

    5th Gen 4Runner - Dobinsons Drawers and Fridge

    If you're reaching up and into a high fridge, and trying to get to things in the odd corner, it depends on where you would usually be standing. But standing in the center / beside the fridge, and reaching over the long edge would seem to offer the best reach into every corner, so I would look...

    5th Gen 4Runner - Dobinsons Drawers and Fridge

    Buy a quality fridge. I have run an Engel MT45F-U1-P for a couple years with zero complaints. I run it on a flat slide from DFG Offroad - rock solid, on rough trails, with no rattles. If I were running a drawer system I would look for a dropping slide to provide easier reach-down access...

    Jackery Solar Generator 1500: The Best Solution for Powering Camp?

    Harbor Freight is better than they were a few years ago. They are steadily shifting into a different market niche.

    Tam loves campfires.

    Cooking on a propane ammo can camp fire thing

    You could drill a row of holes along each side of the can so air can enter from the side and out the top.

    (KDSS) Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System?

    I installed the harness and connected its relay to one of my Switchpro outputs. Install was very easy (hardest part was routing a wire through the firewall to the Switchpro module under the hood). All I have to do is press a button and it turns the KDSS off (dash KDSS light comes on, KDSS...

    Alternative Heat Options

    You could build a box around a Propex HS2211.

    Best Nav app?

    A Team mode for members of a specific convoy. We gather within Bluetooth range and get a shared route and checkpoints from the Team leader. Ability to update during a trail stop (gather within Bluetooth). Tie into the "gather" the ability to share name/callsign/rig info so everyone has a...

    Best Nav app?

    The deal may have been trimmed a little over the last couple years. I used it in Spring of 2021 to get a five year premium membership for $120. Now, that link shows on my screen as a discounted price from $39.99 to $29.99. I think there was a code "OBMEMBER" perhaps.

    Winch Solenoid Size?

    The relay isn't powering the solenoid, is it? The solenoid is linking the battery to the winch. The relay is simply switching the solenoid. You can find 500 amp solenoids for about $75. Or get one of the Blue Sea switches like the 9003e with a 350 amp continuous / 600 intermittent rating.

    Dometic faucet insites

    Dometic has the bones of a good system, but it needs to be fleshed out. The pump units should click into the jugs and seal directly to the internal hose. When detached, there should be a cap that screws onto the bottom of the pump, and another cap that screws onto the exposed plug on the jug...

    Help Me Wire My Trailer Items

    I would use a marine grade cable seal - plenty of options available from West Marine. They are made to pass wires through boat decks and roofs in an ocean environment. Search for "cable seal" and "cable clam".

    Vehicle build

    It's a large rig. If I was to go with a Sequoia, it would be a first generation like yours, with a solid axle in the rear. Like a Land Cruiser but with better fuel economy. Unless you have one with ATRAC, you may want to look into a rear locker at some point.
