I was at the off road show in Pomona a few weeks ago. There was a company showing their new inflatable camper shell. For some reason, I didn't get a flyer from them. I pretty sure their California based. The only one I can find is Air Topper. Pretty sure its not them My questions are 1. Anyone...

I'm reserching front bumpers for my son's 18 4runner. I'm looking for what your running, likes and dislikes. It is mostly street with mild off road. Last spring he hit a deer and wants a bit more strength in front. Looking at something that covers to the side with a loop by the grill. Full...

Just a question of mounting location. I have been roped into helping someone with these systems and it seems there's a difference on what people do and what these manufactures are telling me. Just looking for input from people running either or both under the hood.

Last month I was at an event with my friends and one of the guys brought an ammo can fire pit. It was a bit of a hit and someone was going to be selling them at the event. We go talk to this vender and UGH. Needless to say no-one bought one. Back at camp some of the guys wanted to build their...

This is one of the projects I've had on my list for a while. I wanted a water can I can use as shower, washing dish's or whatever. All the ones I saw didn't quite fit what I needed so, here's mine. Pic first then parts list and description. Parts list 1. Scepter Can lid 2. Submersible water...

This has been on my project board for a number of years. In the past I ran with a home made alternator welder and always wanted to set it up with a spool gun. Having an on board welder came in quite handy multiple times. As it turned out, most vehicles we ran off road really couldn't take it...

I was forwarded the map of the Mojave Road closures last week and decided to go look at the damage. The road was considered closed until last Thursday. My route brought me in on Cima road turning onto Kelso and picking up the Mojave Road about the 1/3 mark, if you were going East to West. The...

I know this is a common DYI project but I wanted a water filter in mine. Yes that means one more step when you assemble it but the taste of plastic water........sigh Parts are simple but to make this work I cut up one of my spare Scepter water can lids. Because they use a weird thread I had to...

Its time for my annual Mojave road run. Vehicle limit is 8. I will Be leaving From Laughlin on Saturday November 26. When I exit depends on the group. I have the whole week off and can stay until December 1 just screwing around seeing the sights. This is not a "Marathon Run". This is a touristy...

What I need is a solid state controller. I want to get away from traditional mechanical relays. This is going to be mostly for light controlling. Right now I run a Bussmann fuse/relay panel and I've out grown it. I like the SPod but there is no way I will put out $1k for it just because it has...

It seems every year fire restrictions out here get stricter and stricter. Some places I go, the fire cant touch the ground, some no wood fires. I have a real nice wood fire pit but it seems propane is more excepted across the board. Over the last couple of years I have seen most propane fire pit...

As most of you know, space can be a premium in our vehicles. Some of us tend to overkill our gear for the "what if" situations. One of mine is my recovery gear. I know I don't really need two tow straps, two kinetic straps, tree saver and two winch blankets. I do need my assortment of clevises...

Spotter: Ok.....lookin good....straight then a small shelf. Up the shelf to the left. Driver: I got this...MOVE! Spotter: HARD LEFT Driver: YOU SAID RIGHT! Spotter: back up and reset your line. Driver: I really need a beer now. Memories from surprise canyon. FYI, I'm the spotter.

This happened in Doren canyon up in Calico some time ago. If you look carefully, you see a car hood laying on the trailer. We used that as a skid to drag the Jeep backwards out of the canyon about 200 yards to a trailer. the only thing that was holding the knuckle/tire on was the steering. When...

This is NOT about the plus or minus around nitrogen in tires. This is something a co-worker brought up and then I heard it again later in another conversation. The original comment to me was "my mother went to a shop (tire maybe) and was told, were out of nitrogen but we can sell you a nitrogen...

I'm selling my RTT and wanted to throw it out here before I hit Craigs List. I'm asking $500 for it. The brand is Mombasa and the open dimensions are 56 (4.5') X 96 (8'). So..?? Full size bed? Mattress is 2.5" foam. The cover has been replaced with a Tepui due to zipper failure. I take good care...

Just finished up a four day shakedown trip for my new trailer. Link to build thread. I cut the trip short due to the fact the wind never stopped. I was only able to have a camp fire on the last night. Temperatures ranged from high ninety's to the high teens. Wind gusted to around 40mph. This...

As the title says, I need a stand alone mapping program. I have Gaia but its web based and while it works for mapping and sending to my Ipad, it has issues sending a GPX file I created to my PC. Here's what I need to do, create a route and put the GPX file into my PC and or modify one of my...

I want to run the Mojave road after Thanksgiving. So far it looks like I may go by myself (again). 1. I haven't set an exact date. I would prefer not to leave the Friday after due to the number of people doing just that. Saturday or Sunday (11/28-29) would be preferable. 2. I haven't set the...

Planning out the roof on my new build. I would like to use the rubberized roof coating for a variety of reasons. What I see is EPDM should be the way to go. Spreads on nicely, self leveling, reflects heat, flex's and is water proof. Everything I want. The problem is this, all of the manufactures...
