My dad and I talked about that today, and figured out a way we're we can lift the box off the frame. Once it warms up in the spring, it's getting a diy bedliner coating. As for the build, we got all the walls glued and screwed today, along with the doors cut out. Looking inside the...

I don't think it'll be too bad. It'll probably weigh about 1000 lbs or so when empty. But.... It'll definitely hold all our stuff. I need to call a local guy about rhino lining the exterior of the box.

Both, honestly. Once lumber prices plummeted, it made more sense to build it using lumber. That, and I can build it quickly that way.

So, with getting the week off of work, and the fact that I have many trips planned for next year, I decided it was time to start building the trailer. I've taken over my parents garage for the week, and today, my dad and I got ALOT done on the trailer. We got all the old wood and steel...

I've always used a cooler. Been camping for damn near 35 years. I always thought that fridges are neat for camping, but not really necessary if you're not going for weeks at a time.... Then I bought one about a year ago. Like others have said, it's a total game changer. As long is you can keep...

I have a Midland mxt275 in my truck and in my Xterra. I also have a baofeng uv5r that I have programmed with gmrs and emergency frequencies. I mainly use the baofeng as a spotting radio at this point, or for when I need a radio outside of the truck (when my daughter and her friend go exploring...

Purchased on Amazon.

I picked up a NOCO genius5 charger about a month ago, after I discovered the starter battery in my X had managed to lose a charge (not sure how). The nice thing about these are they are fairly inexpensive, small, and can charge multiple battery chemistries (including lifepo4). They also work...

They're up now, and I'm so jealous of the deal that was had.

This right here. The only RTTs I've seen that can accommodate 4 people comfortably are made by iKamper, overland vehicle systems, and tuff stuff. All of them are soft shell folding style, with the iKamper being a hybrid design with a rigid shell.

That's the kit that I put on mine. I will say, it wasn't the best kit.....some of the pieces didn't fit perfectly (I think they didn't bend the outer part of the bumper enough, if I recall), but I've been happy with mine.

Hey now.... Pics or it didn't happen....

I'm interested in the tent, but sure if it would work for my family of 3 (and my 5yo moves around a lot). I'll have to do some research on it.

I do have some brand new tires on the X I need to test out....

No experience with jeeps, but check to see if you have liquid on the floor. If so, chances are your heater core has gone out. Other than that, I've got no clue.

Whelp, Gamora finally got some new shoes! She's now sitting on a set of Kenda Klever At2s in. 265/75r16 load E. If these tires are half as good as I hear they are, then I will be very happy. Also, I think I need to look into adjusting my rear shackles, as the back end is definitely...

Nice work! One question though.... Where do I send my money? :laughing:

OK. Adventure cat is officially my new favorite internet cat. Looks like a great trip!

If you want a dual purpose battery (start/cycle), take a look at dual purpose rv batteries. Just pay attention to the cold cranking amps, and choose one that matches what your vehicle needs.

You can absolutely run a fridge off your starter battery. I know several folks that have done this for years without any issues. At a bare minimum though, you need to be able to keep an eye on the voltage, and you need a way to jump the vehicle if the battery gets too low. Get yourself a...
