parking in the garage is a wish list item that has pretty much gone away for now, The WJ fits in the garage with the boards on, but not with the Thule box that we carry the Gazelle tent in, so we typically leave that off unless we need it. The Ram it too tall, wide, and long to fit at all...

@Offroadnutz, here are some pics of my traction board mounts. The uni-strut is low profile from Home Depot painted black, I mounted it to the cross bars with T-nuts as the bars had T track that made it easy. for round bars, Uni-strut makes all different kinds of clamps, should be able to...

We use the Kovea Slim Twin, its super light, one of the few that uses a flexible fuel hose that stores inside. works great with the Omni Oven for baking and has good low heat simmer abilities. usually fuel it from a 5lb cylinder with a 1lb green bottle for backup. for meals that just need...

Congratulations Kent! I can't think of a better choice for the position, Your dedication to land stewardship and off highway travel is much appreciated.

D handled garden spade from Home Depot, just long enough to do some digging, but still fits in my storage box so its not outside. Oversized hand made hatchet in between small axe and standard hatchet. (carry a 14" elec chain saw for clearing trails)

The better half of OTH has the WJ at work today, If she gets home before dark I will grab a couple, otherwise will try and get them in the morning before she leaves.

Always been a pet peeve of mine on all the mapping software, zoom in to be able to read a street name or other text feature or symbol and they stay the same size. I understand it is so you can see more detail in the map without having giant text, but would be nice to have a toggle in the...

I suppose one could purchase an 80 amp relay that has the oversized blades for the load portion similar to the one from Amazon, and completely eliminate the plug in base. Solder some short 6 gauge pigtails to the blades and connect into your wiring system with an anderson plug for the large...

We have an automated brushless wash near us and it has not complained yet..lol only bad thing is only our WJ will fit thru, the JK and Ram are both too tall. Had not seen the pressure washer undercarriage attachment before, a quick google search and I have now added it to my shopping...

Kevin, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State

Mounted them on my WJ roof rack with two sections of low profile Uni strut the length of the boards running from front to back and attaching to the rack cross bars. Then installed the mounting pins from Maxx trax to the uni strut to match the holes in the boards. if you have other brand of...

Like the idea of having one stashed away empty, and then fill it just prior to heading off highway and not needing a gas can hard mounted all the time. However the fact that they are not approved for fuel transport in the US is a downside.

My setup on my Ram is pretty much the same as @Akicita is showing above, except mine is located right below the drivers seat up against the frame rail and enclosed in a skid plate. The ArB twin on the JK is MUCH faster than the Viar on the Ram, but both work well for what I need.

Steven, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State. Always great to see folks with the full size rigs.

I have only done verification through the web interface, not the app so not sure if there is a difference. When you select the badge you want to verify, do you get the yellow 'request validation' button on the right hand side. when you select that it should open a new window where you can...

If you are lucky enough to fit in one of the touchless car washes with an undercarriage wash feature that can knock a lot of crud off the bottom of the rig. Have also used one of the garden tractor style lawn sprinklers with the spray arms turned upside down. lay the hose under the center line...

I like to run my electrical devices and wiring at 80% of continuous load to prevent issues, relays seem to last much longer when they run at 50-60% capacity, thinking it results in less pitting of the contacts when they make or break contact. I have a background in commercial/industrial...

I like the modular design and O-ring seals. Specs say the relay and its coils are rated to 40 amps, however the terminals look light, and are only rated for 14-16 gauge wire which would not be capable of 40 amps. I am sure the quality is better than the Amazon one overall, but surprised at...

For the ones that need validation there is typically a button on the information for the badge and you can attach photo or what ever is requested, never had an issue so far with validation

I have had the same issue when looking for large relays. By the book, a full 40 amp load would require min. 6 gauge copper wire, and that would be good for a total length of 20 feet to maintain a voltage drop of less than 3% (.36 Volts) Much of the accessory industry greatly undersizes wire...
