Picked up an essential bit of gear today for the upcoming winter. I figured this should be sufficient to keep my little 8x6 awning room warm. I’m thinking about trying to make some insulation panels to hang on the walls and roof to help keep some of the heat in but I don’t know if it will even...

Thanks! Sometimes I wonder if all the extra work is worth saving the money to just buy an off the shelf part.

Picked this guy up today. I’ve been on the lookout for one of these military storage bins for awhile. Sometimes being in a big military town pays off. The matches on these things are excellent and it has a rubber gasket to prevent water/dust intrusion. Measurements are 18”x50”x9”. Low profile...

Well it’s been a little while since my last update. I’ve actually been able to take a few short trips over the last few weeks which has been great for my sanity! Colored some new trails and spent a couple nights camping. Going on one last trip next weekend before I hear back up north. Looking...

I think I’m going to be putting the truck on hold for awhile. Covid cancelled any chances I had for camping/overlanding this year and I’m going to be moving back to the northeast in a few months. I might make one trip up to the mountains this fall but that’ll be pretty much it until next spring...

Now that I think of it, grand cherokees came with a steel gas tank “skid plate” from the factory. It’s not gonna stop a big rock or anything, but it would definitely make mounting pretty simple. Grand cherokees from like 99-04 mount really simply and they have a 20.5 gallon capacity which would...

Read through that post a little while back and that’s basically what I have in mind although I was thinking about doing a separate filler instead of a y like he did. For my purposes, I only really want to use the aux tank on long trips on when out at a campsite. The rest of the time I don’t need...

I also started looking into adding an aux fuel tank. Carrying Jerry cans everywhere works but it’s frustrating to use them to fill up, and it doesn’t really help with range unless you’re filling up at the campsite to drive out the following day or top off after running the engine in the morning...

Starting to consider my next step with this rig. I’m going to be moving back to the Northeast this fall/winter and while I’d really like to invest in a winch bumper, rock sliders, and skid plates, I just don’t think they’ll get any use up north. If I was heading west they would definitely be a...

Very tempted to buy this.. I’m in Middle Georgia. How far are you from Warner Robins?

Picked up some used Rotopax from a coworker for what I thought was a great deal. Got them home and realized there are a few issues... The gas cans leak. Not sure if this is just user error but I took one to the gas station and put the cap back on and it proceeded to pour gas everywhere the...

I still use my trusty two burner. I’ve been cooking on them for 20 years and have no real interest in trying anything different. That being said, my dad has a tripod that suspends a big cast iron skillet type deal and it’s come in handy when cooking for larger groups. The idea is kind of the...

Interested! Any issues with it aside from the fading?

In other news I scored some Rotopax from a coworker today for a pretty decent price. One of the water containers is missing the cap and they came with an assortment of mounting hardware. I’ll have to dig into them a little more to figure out where I’m going to mount them.

Yeah I’m from the Northeast so it’s definitely a big difference!

Beale must be nice! The weather here at Robins is killing me slowly. Missed out on all the hood camping weather due to COVID and now I’m just waiting for it to cool off again

Gotta be ready to PT at any moment! I have like a dozen pairs of them at this point and they’re super comfortable to work in.

I’m glad it was able to help give you some ideas! Let me know if you have any questions about my rig

In made a whole roof rack with super strut. It’s good stuff.
