    Refrigerator reccos

    I just got a Snomaster 35 quart fridge and really love it. It has a 7 year warranty on the compressor. I think all of them are very good, though. One really nice feature on the Snomaster is a voltage readout when on DC power, so you can see right there how your battery is doing.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Holy cow, I almost forgot something else I did yesterday. Not only did I start repairing the sway bar disconnect on Blu Rubi, but Red Rubi got a new badge!

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Gave some TLC to the old JK. The Well, the good news is that the sway bar actuator appears to be just fine. However, the rest of the mechanism had water intrusion and the grease had gunked up and broken down. There was a bit of rust and pitting on some parts too, but not as bad as the ones...

    Roaming Lost Rig - 99' Mitsubishi Montero

    Does it have a rear locker? Any particular features unique to the Montero? I liked the inclinometer on the center stack, along with what, a volt meter and another guage? I think different years or trim levels had some variation in that little guage pod.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Yeah, I always wondered about it. It is still driveable, though, so it wouldn't have stranded me. It's served 11 years and 125k miles, with lots of off-roading. I am starting to think that these should just be included in the 100k maintenance. Remove, clean, grease, reinstall, and go. It...

    Roaming Lost Rig - 99' Mitsubishi Montero

    Looking forward to seeing what you do with that Montero. How about some specs? Hp, torque? Locker? I don't know much about that generation of Montero, so I'm just curious. Thanks!

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Very nice! Let us know how it improves the feel ! I just had a new clutch and transmission put in my 2008 JK at 116k miles. The old tranny/clutch felt fine, but was making some noise. My dealership told me that synchro wear was causing the noise, and recommended replacement. I was fine with...

    White Rim Trail, Moab

    Do you have to get a BLM permit to camp on the White Rim Trail? If so, how do you go about getting one?

    Calling all Jeep Commanders!!

    I forgot about the 4.7. I like that engine, too. Let's see some pics! We've got one in our neighborhood with a lift and either 33's or closer to 34" tires that looks really nice. I know they love it and take it off-road. (They aren't into overlanding, though.) They say it does very well...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    Unfortunately, mine won't have cold beer today. I'm a middle school principal. BUT, you can bet that come Saturday....:sunglasses:

    Fridge Freezer Question

    Honestly, I've never gone to bed looking forward to, yes, an ice cold drink the next day. Like a kid at Christmas! Lol! :yum:

    Fridge Freezer Question

    Fantastic! I won't be surprised if you just got the deal of the decade. That thing might just run for years and years. It has a good bit more capacity than my Snomaster, too! I'm dying to hear your initial report on it!

    Fridge Freezer Question

    I just put mine in the garage, loaded it up with warm drinks, and plugged it into the wall. I figure it is best to start out with everything cold and not make the fridge do the hard work on the Jeep battery. Then, I'm going to drive my Jeep to work tomorrow, let it sit all day, then pull cold...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    I agree. I've got one for my JK Wrangler. My new JL actually has two batteries. It has the regular battery and then a smaller one, as part of the auto start/stop, which I have disabled. My understanding is that the smaller battery is isolated from accessories and is solely there to start the...

    Calling all Jeep Commanders!!

    I'd love to have a Commander with a Hemi and the rear sunroofs. I've always thought that was a very nice vehicle. Did it ever come with a rear locker? I can see how it would be short legged, but range can be extended by carrying fuel. Wranglers don't have much better range, but you see them...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    My Snomaster arrived today. It has a 66w compressor. I'll be trying it out this weekend in my Jeep, so I can let you know how it works. I think that's its peak, not what it will typically draw once cool. This thing just went from 90 degrees inside to 38 in just 10 minutes! Wow! I have it...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    Remember, too, Chinese instructions often lose important information or confuse it in translation. They are pretty good at replicating things, so to be 50Ah would be WAY off the mark. Again, read through the Amazon reviews and you should get an idea of how it works. I read through them a...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    I can't help but wonder if those numbers are a misprint. Check the Smittybilt numbers and see how it compares. The fridge is identical, but there is the possibility the compressor is not, and maybe it does draw more power. Also, read through the Q & A and reviews on Amazon. There might be some...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    I'm no electrician, so I'll leave that to the experts, but I'd bet you'd be fine with it. That fridge you are looking at is the same as the Smittybilt. Many don't like the Smittybilt, but many owners are very happy with them and say they work well. At that price, they may be the best...
