Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I bought and installed a RhinoRack/Oztent Foxwing Awning this past weekend.
Next thing to buy is probably gonna be a "grown up" ham radio, I've been looking at the Yaesu FTM-400XDR for quite some time. Maybe i'll be able to pull the trigger next month
I'm already thinking i'll have to grab at least one more water container to haul up giving us ~22gal. We are a family of 5 but definitely don't use 2gal/day/person or anything anywhere near it. Since we'll be up there for five days, we'll probably do a bit of sponge bathing which will use more...
Yep, I'll have a ham radio!
Thanks for the info on the water and toilets. We have a Cleanwaste folding toilet they we usually put over a hole, but i'll bring some bio bags too incase we need to pack out
Looking forward to this trip. This will be our first trip to Zion, any idea what water availability will be like? We will be bringing up ~15 gallons which should be plenty, but it would be reassuring if there are known places we could refill if needed
I forgot to mention how well these things work. We've gone from the AC never quite being able to keep up to needing to turn the AC down because it's getting too cold. There is zero heat radiated from the tops anymore
Here in AZ the summers get pretty damn hot. In a Jeep, the head just radiates off of the freedom panels and hard top. It's like adding insult to injury. No matter how much the ice-cold AC is blowing from the vents, there's always radiant heat just beaming down from the top fiberglass. I finally...
In a JKU, they do not block the passenger windows at all, I'm not certain, but I assume in a JK they would block at least some of the view. Here's a shot from the back seat of my JKU:
note that in the JKU, that "stuff" directly behind the bag adjacent to where a person's head would be is not a...
As mentioned earlier in the thread (I think?) I have a SuperFlow air compressor that I carry in the jeep. I love the compressor, it works great, but I swear like 25% of the time it takes to air up my tires is spent screwing on the tiny and awkward-shaped schrader valve adapter. In another thread...
I also picked up some saddle bags that fit inside the rear roll bar spaces, they provide so much storage space that I was able to stick everything that was under the rear seats into these and they still have plenty of storage space still available.
At the moment the driver's side contains: two...
Wow, I've really let this thread rot. I got so busy with other stuff that I've been putting off more updates. Here's a few more to try and catch up to present times...
Here in AZ, having branches scraping all over the vehicle is just part of the game, but with the rack I was a bit worried some...
