    Where to install Redarc Brake Controller in Jeep Gladiator

    My Redarc Elite is double sided tape plus zip tied under the driver side dash. There is a nice flat spot in the dash support structure where the module can be mounted solidly (which is critical for this controller ) The control head is to the driver-side of the Aux Switched on a 3d printed panel...

    What is the best thing you bought for Overlanding?

    +1 to my trailer being the “best” thing, at least in terms of making it possible to do more traveling. Such a time savor to get out of town quickly and have minimal chores when returning home.

    proper cargo tie down on roof rack

    Bravo for looking for knowledge on this important topic. I’m constantly horrified by the poorly secured loads I see on the road these days. I wish everyone cared as much as you do. The engineer in me makes securing anything loaded in a vehicle a mental puzzle of forces and weight...

    What to prioritize when buying recovery gear.

    Welcome to the party. Some thoughts... First Training Then Air compressor - Don't get stuck in the first place (air down), get stuck, air down some more. But you can't air down without a way to air up. Shovel 6 ton bottle jack (consider a axle/frame adapter & extension for the top. e.g...

    How do you get weather updates with no cell service?

    Weather Radio unless I can't get reception (which is rare), otherwise InReach Mini.

    ATC Tool Roll - Need ideas please.

    Add some disposable shop towels. It seems like when things go south, there is usually a mess to clean up.

    Tire Table

    We have one also. I actually like it better than the roll-up table we used to use for our main camp table. We use it on the trailer tire, not the truck so it’s under the awning.

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    So far we have missed our first two long weekend trips for the season. As this goes on longer it gets into expo, rallys, and longer trips we had planned. Hoping to salvage the tail end of the season, but we shall see. In the mean time, I’m working on the rig and trailer. Also researching new...

    Add GMRS callsign to profile information?

    I've got both also. Let's not repurpose data fields if we can help it. I'd vote for a separate field.

    Battery Jumpers.

    We have a NOCO GB40 in each vehicle. Fortunately, I never have needed it for our own vehicles but have used three times on others. I just had them out of the vehicles the other day to check and charge. Both still showed 100% after 6 months. One of them had even been used to jump another vehicle...
