    Great / Not so Great...

    i've been looking at picking up some cots. The product weight of the Tough Cot says 27lbs!!! surely that's not accurate, is it?

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

    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

    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    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...

    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    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

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    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

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    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...

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    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...

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    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...

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    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...

    2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - Jolene

    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...
