Awesome pic! Michelle and I practice the "In Darkness we Find Camp" motto way more than in daylight..lol

I have also used iron pipe flanges in each compartment thru bolted to each other with a rubber gasket slipped thru the hole and placed between the faces of the two boxes, the four bolts seem to do a good job of keeping the boxes pressed against each other sandwiching the gasket. good variety...

Are your boxes bolted up tight to each other with no gap between them? there are watertight bulkhead fittings designed to allow wires to exit to the exterior of an enclosure, but they are expensive and hard to feed additional wire thru later, if you are just going box to box you only need to...

Two most used combos that are always at the ready in no particular order: - Kinetic line w/ soft shackles: Used when situation is not complicated and there is little to no danger of making things worse with a quick tug. - Winch w/ tree saver & soft shackle : Used for intensive 'stucks' where...

As far as I know, Redarc does not make a manager unit larger than 30 amps, and we wanted the compatibility with the RedVision system. In addition we tend to travel on our trips daily so it's not often that the battery is below 50% except perhaps in winter, and it is usually fully charged in an...

We went with the Redarc Mananger 30 in the JK, expensive, but it is an all in one powerhouse that is super simple to install, 30 amps of DCDC charging, Shore power, and solar input. Can fully recharge my 100ah LiPo battery from the engine in a couple of hours, rather than most of a day when I...

Nice looking setup!

Michelle & I serve as the OB Member Rep for Western Washington. @Redhults feel free to reach out and send a message if you have any questions. Best way to know what events are planned in your area (or any area you are willing to travel to for that matter) is to check the Rally Point and or...

I would far rather spend a bit more and change belts and such more often than I need to in the driveway than have to change just one in the field, fortunately the newer belts and tensioners last much longer than the old V belts, but some of them snake around so much it can be a real chore to...

Impressive organization skills! I like that the shelves have a lip to prevent jars from being accidentally discharged

We run the Bush Company 270XT on our JKU, We have had a couple of other awnings on our other rigs and got tired of having to put down legs / tie downs in anything but calm weather, came across an Aussie youtuber running the Bush Co awning and after watching him use his out on the coast in...

If it has not been mentioned, with today's computerized vehicles probably on of the most useful tools is a OBDII scanner (Bluetooth versions on Amazon for under $20) and a list of what all the codes for your particular vehicle mean. This will allow you to send a companion off to the autoparts...

Welcome Ben, Looks like you need another Jeep to round out your vehicle list if you continue to follow the new/old or Noah's ark method of collecting... lol Your plan to follow the Baja route and explore down south is one that is on my to do list also. As @M Rose mentioned I am your...

Not sure if that panel works your lighting as well, but if so you could get a replacement switch in single pole double throw configuration and wire it as a three way switch to a similar switch by the door so you can turn on main lights from bed or door when you come in late at night.

I have no doubt on the quality of both Turtleback and Patriot, have looked hard at both of them, Just hard to justify that they equal the cost of a new well equipped vehicle. Wonder how much of the total cost is Overland Tax? of course that is the case with any popular hobby. I love the...

Not a silly question, that can hopefully be done. He did not have the needed tools. Someone is heading out there now with tools to attempt this and hopefully he can limp it to the main road

Hi Jason, I am your local member representative and you can always reach out directly if you have any questions. We are located on Camano Island, just a short distance south of you. Upper Skagit Valley has some great easy forest service roads for out and back day adventures. I have included...

Update: We have confirmation that someone is on the way with tools, however no means to tow. Will be there around noon.

While in Silverdale this week getting ready to drop our JK off for some shiny new gears, we pulled up to a light alongside a nice looking Land Rover, and each of us noticed each others OB emblems followed by the obligatory wave. With our friendliest 'were not really stalkers' faces on, we...

Have heard of issues with the screens/glow plugs on the Chinese models, wondering how easy it is to find parts or how universal they are. Seen some good reviews on the maxspeedingrods model on Amazon, did you get an all in one, or a kit to install into a box? How many KW?
