    U.S. Park Pass

    We buy the National Park Pass and a Washington State Park pass each year, I don't think we have ever come up short on value, and typically break even less than half way thru the year not counting all the national forest trail heads and parking areas that we can access for free.

    Modular cargo conversion

    Looks like the same type of tank I just installed in my JK, If so I caution you when installing fittings, as the plastic is very soft and the threads will pull out. Teflon tape did not work so well, used the teflon paste and hand tightened the fittings. Since my drain and vent line exited thru...

    My rant for the day...

    Well, we had a late night movie session last night and have now checked Idiocrocy off the list. Definately funny, although probably should not be considering the way things are going in this world.... Will be worth a second viewing to see what we missed..lol

    My rant for the day...

    Will be comparing to my list of favorite corny sci-fi - Spaceballs, Red Dwarf etc. and I have to agree that many 'good' cult classics need to be watched several times to get all the inuendo ... often to the dismay of one's spouse..lol

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    Consideration should be made to how the vehicle will be used, are you setting it up as a full time overlander, where it is loaded about the same allways, or are you daily driving it empty and only piling on the goodness for trips? What type of off road use are you going to do (rock crawling...

    My rant for the day...

    Well, somehow I have managed to get through the past 16 years without seeing this movie or somehow knowing it existed , but thank you, now I have gone and googled it, and now will likely have to watch it..lol Will see how it stacks up against the other cult sci-fi/comedies.

    Running power trailer.

    The ARB Zero we have has a threaded end on the cig lighter plug that you can remove exposing a two blade plug that screws into their proprietary hardware connector that we have in the Jeep. Ends the issues with plug coming loose, yet allows for the end to be put back on if i transfer the fridge...

    Running power trailer.

    Would not take too much $$ and effort to add a small (50ah) lipo battery and a DCDC charger in the trailer, then you can keep the fridge powered up in camp while you take the rig out for an adventure or to fetch more beer.

    Switch-Pro ( or simliar) to rocker switches

    If you decide to go for it, and want to learn how and get a bit of help, I am always open to folks who want to do a bit DIY coming up and using tools and such for projects. I have a lot of electrical and rig building experience and the needed tools, but definatly not a full service shop that...

    Modular cargo conversion

    As somone who works in the engineering field, I prefer to think of it not as over-engineered, but perhaps under-utilized, or perhaps future-proofed... lol

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I am a Gaia Android user, and have two years remaining on a 5 year subscription. Agree with it is going down hill since the buyout, rumors that a signicant amount of thier engineering staff are gone may play into this. That being said it was the best thing available when I signed up, but I...

    I’m bringing too much

    As both of our Jeeps are fairly small with storage space at a minimum, we try to keep the kitchen load out simple and light weight. We do carry two stoves, the main stove is a Kovea Slim Twin propane two burner, super thin and light weight, has a flexible tube in place of the bent metal one...

    Switch-Pro ( or simliar) to rocker switches

    I spent many years driving big rig, and love the tactile feel of a good rocker switch far better than pushing a glorified microwave button...lol, however went with the Swtich Pro for several reasons, the primary reason was that it can control pretty much everythign with one tap directly off...

    Switch-Pro ( or simliar) to rocker switches

    Patrick, This is something I have not thought of. I have seen a relay system that allows for an either / or situation where you can keep the maunal switches for a backup system in case the magic electron box fails (could be done without relays but that would invite potential for backfeed of...

    Campground Insanity

    I would not mind use fees / permits so much if the money actually went to the agency responsible for protecting that particular area, to get more rangers and IF the rangers were allowed to and actually enforeced the rules with stiff penelties and IF the courts upheld those. Watching the park...
