Venture4wd has a gasoline heater in his rig, much more susceptible to altitude and seems a lot more finicky, although when piped into the jeeps fuel tank you eliminate the need for a second fuel source and the place to carry it. We just got back from testing our new all in one diesel heater...

I like @Shahn idea of check boxes or radio buttons to simplify things, perhaps add a category to select the urgency of the situation, perhaps red/yellow/green coded to let people know how urgent the request is i.e. green: I have lots of gear and won't freeze if it takes a couple of days to...

Last year we had Turkey dinner in the truck consisting of frozen turkey TV dinners, Lemonade, and Hostess Cupcakes purchased late in the night at a truck stop outside of the San Rafael Swell in Utah. This year we had planned on cooking a full dinner at camp somewhere near Moab, however we...

We just purchased an all in one diesel heater and took it out on a two week trip. did not want diesel smell in the rig, so we placed it inside our Last US Bag spare tire bag, there was just enough room to place the heater in the bag with a 2 gallon rotopax full of diesel alongside. Worked...

Always use stranded wire for mobile use to prevent stress cracking from vibration. good advice above on diference between 120 and 12 volt electrical devices. You should be able to go online and find an installation manual and wiring diagram for your inverter. for the output 12 gauge wire...

Bob, it was great to get to meet you this past week while we were in DV, We did manage to get a lot of exploring in while we were there, thanks for your advice on some trails we had a blast. Sure we will see you again down there one day

Back to reality ... I think

Exploring Death Valley

Jeremy, welcome to Overland Bound, the Ram is a great platform and will take you far. Lots of great ideas and helpful folks on this site.

Micheal, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State , (Well actually from Fort Bragg CA that we are passing through on vacation currently...lol )

I do not know of a fridge with a lower profile than the Dometic CD-30 or the Engel SB-30 both are drawer style single compartment fridges and very close to the same size as each other. We went with the Engel SB-30 for our Jeep WJ and incorporated it into a low profile drawer system with fridge...

Have really been enjoying exploring the eastern side of Oregon, lots of history and tracks for miles

Josh, Welcome to Overland Bound, Love the older Jeeps!

I used a pair of small heat pads under the battery in the rear of my Jk, placed sound mat on the plywood base, and then the pads were installed on top of that with the battery sitting directly on them. RedARC redvision system monitors the battery temp and will switch the heating pads on if the...

We just purchased a Hcalory 8kw all in one unit from Fleabay, got it for 140 shipped to the house. We have used it a couple of times in the past two weeks and are happier than expected with it. Put a Anderson connector on the end of the supplied wire, and made up a 15 foot anderson to...

Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State, great looking rig, looking forward to seeing your build.

Our WJ has been wraptor lined and gets used for local brushed over trails as it is very difficult to scratch the finish. JKU is the rig set up for long trips, technical stuff and is the best equipped by far. Ram 1 ton is a long range vehicle that is next on the build list to replace the dually...

We went with the Maximus-3 carrier that bolts on in addition to the factory hinges such that the factory gate does not carry any of the weight of the tire carrier but they still open together with the factory latch. Currently have a 35" tire, 4 max trax, 5 gallon NATO can and a trash bag that...

If bouncing around from vehicle to vehicle is a sickness, then I think I must have a pandemic, as I keep building them, and keeping the old ones...lol every couple of years a new overlanding mouth to feed in fleet... Try to justify it by each one having a different purpose or type of...

Awesome news, doing just started route planning for our upcoming trip and we will see how the improved download works:)
