Hi all. I am trying to plan a trip to do the southern portion of the Utah BDR. The entire route from Mexican Hat to Moab is about 330 miles. I was aiming to do it in 3 days at ~110mi per day. I'm in a 4x4 truck, but my group could include a dozen vehicles including some AWD (modified, lifted w/...
I ended up returning mine. I could only trust it to keep the bottom half cold and the plug was so bad that it regularly fell out and shut the fridge off. I lost two batches of food which ruined two trips. The last time the fridge was on and in my truck locked up and then in the morning it was...
I have the CX30 (only one that will fit under my tonneau). It isn't perfect, but honestly it does a good job, especially for the price. I haven't tried another 12V fridge so I can't compare but my only real complaint is the temperature gradient inside the machine. Directly below the compressor...
So recently I've been looking at carrying something to use as a base for jacks (hi-lift and bottle jack); I remembered that the Maxtrax Mini JaxBase was a thing, so I started looking for reviews and they're apparently not popular enough to have many reviews. I'm sure they'll function fine as a...
How are you liking the Massimo? I see Costco has it on sale today through the end of the year for $340 which seems like a steal for a 500W power station with MPPT. Do you know if it is a regulated 12v output? I can't find info on that.
Thanks everyone for all the replies. If nothing else it helps me to realize that I'm not just "doing it wrong" but more that I just haven't found my groove and best use case. I like the idea of taking the family on some trips and letting them get a feel for it. If they absolutely love it and...
No bumper to drop (yet), but now I don't see myself getting one at all. I was already leaning towards just a 45lb lower fascia bumper but I think that's out. The main reason I got the armor so early is because I'm completely new to all of this and I figured it was protection against my...
I've just started becoming conscious about the weight that I'm carrying on my rig. I have grand plans: bumper, winch, RTT, bed rack... all the stuff you see on kick-ass YouTube videos.
Well.. tomorrow I'm taking my family on a really simple overnight trip. I decided to start adding things up...
I don’t have a 12V fridge so maybe my input is useless, but I did test my 500X with my CPAP using 12V and it fit snuggly (had to use a moderate amount of force to remove). I suspect the Dometic plug is a bit thin as you suggested. Think you can wrap a few layers of electrical tape where it rests...
I know this topic is nearly a month old now, but I just received my 500x from REI. I ordered it with the 20% off coupon so I could run my CPAP. It did an amazing job on my first test. I used a pump to both inflate and deflate two queen-sized air mattresses from AC and it was still at 99%. I then...
Came here looking for good ideas for my Tacoma. There’s no good flat surface on the body as far as I can tell, but I love the idea of putting it on a rack.
Oh man I just started reading (from the end) and that is rough. It's also exactly why I decided to go cheap (I was _this_ close to purchasing a brand new Tacoma); I thought if I can pay cash for something cheap and it blows up on me then at least it will only sting for a little bit. At the same...
So I recently purchased my 05 Xterra and while I'd like to use it as a platform to learn how to do all my own maintenance, I'm more eager to get out and see some trails. It seems like pretty much everyone online does their own work and I'm wondering if that's just my perception or if it is...
