Nice simple solution! whip up a 6 foot or so extension for the trailer plug and you have a nice warning light to set out if you end up changing a tire on the side of the road
I miss the old days where they used a hose to siphon your fuel, loss of gas and inconvenience of having to get some brought out to you, but now they are just spiking the tank or cutting the filler hose leaving you with no fuel and a trashed tank to boot.. If you had been out west they would...
A bit late posting about this trip, but hopefully better late than never. We had three rigs attend and spent a long day travelling around the Mountain Loop Highway from Granite Falls to Darrington on a mix of pavement and forest service roads, then took some FS roads from Darrington over to...
Gavin, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State! Be sure to check out the Rally Point and Calendar tabs they will show you any upcoming events, trips or meetups. you can filter by local region (West Region for you). Lots of active people in your area!
Thanks Mike, Rally point waitlist would be very useful, I always add a few extra spots when I post one as there seems to be a 10-30 percent no show rate, especially in the cold/rainy season, would be good to have a list of folks who could take open spots.
Hopefully dropping the mid level...
Steven, Doing well thank you, sitting in my office for a few more hours, then out to the garage to finish up some wiring on my JK Build. Hope all is well on your side of the big pond....
Short notice day trip around the North Cascades, Come on out and exchange some of those household chores you probably were not going to do anyway for a easy day of scenic roads and a picnic lunch.

I have a dedicated small tarp with my recover gear so I can slide under a rig in mud/sand/snow and avoid getting wet/itchy etc. Also have a set of work pants / shirt for the big or messy recoveries or repairs, keeps the regular clothing clean to reduce time between laundry days and the...
Harbor Freight makes a bent metal winch mounting plate out of 1/4" steel has standard winch mounting holes, and a place to mount fairlead. Assuming its imported steel, but a great price and long enough to span most frame rails, I have built a couple of mounts with them, and yet to bend one...
I removed the rear seats of the JK and built a raised platform to provided storage on the 60% passenger side, and a electrical box on the 40% driver side. The cabinet work is all prototype currently and we will rebuild it after a year or so of use and determining what works best for us. Most...
I was running everything through my jackery 1000, could get about same two days out of it stationary, but it would take all day to charge of the 12volt of the rig, now we are charged in less than two hours from a flat battery, charges at 30 amps solid from the alternator.
I will post up a couple of pictures of it installed in my JK later tonight. I started with the Manager 30 and a 100ah lithium battery, and by the time I was done ended up with the RedVision system, an 1kw inverter and way more wiring than I intended, but overall results I am super happy...
Love my RedArc manager 30, as long as I travel a couple of hours a day house battery is always fully charged. unless we are staying in one spot for more than two days we do not even bring the solar panels anymore.
