Last thing I bought was extended swaybar links all around and extended bump stops to finish out the suspension. Next on the list is a Rigd ultra swing and accessories (can’t wait to get that!).

I don't really go to Harbor Freight usually the only way I find out what they have that is not going t break is through forum posts; so this is interesting. Sadly I wont be in the Family homestead next time we get enough snow to take out power. But I will have the BatteryBank solar generator for the car I will be overlanding in full time.That is when the little 900w, $99 harbor freight generator comes in handy. For less than $300 you can have a 3500w generator. Neither is fancy but they work for what they are meant for, emergencies. Because I live in a rural area, it is necessary for me to be prepared for outages which would also effect my water supply. I dont think living in the city is any guarantee of better utility services any longer. The utility companies are not investing in updates because of cooperate structures bleeding off too much money to put in the ceo's pockets. They dont care about you anymore. Rely on yourself for your own security sake !

I agree that IF you overland full time the only way to go is solar combined with your auto and a battery bank of some sort. There is a big difference between living on the road and being stationary. To build a solar system for a home is a huge expense over a simple system for your traveling rig. I Guess it comes down to what you can afford, always the big decision for all of us who work for a living.I don't really go to Harbor Freight usually the only way I find out what they have that is not going t break is through forum posts; so this is interesting.

What did you end up getting...Bought another Ham radio for my home, also a Kenwood TM-V71A. I can rotate it from my home to my other daily driver.

I'm getting the same Kenwood TM-V71A radio that's in my rig. Since I like the simplicity of the menus and features I just got the same. The home shack radios are very pricy and I don't have the desk real estate for all that.What did you end up getting...
My next radio purchase is going to be a FTDX10 by Yaesu to replace my Icom IC7100 in the shack... then looking for a simple 2 band 70cm/2m radio for the shack as well.

I like it but I have bad knees. LOLPicked up a 459 Krawler adventure trailer!!!!!

It looks tiny on the RV-pad, lol. It'll probably go in the garage, but my brother-in-law had to pick it up for me as I'm down in the bay for work. I have power on the RV-pad, so if I do keep it out here I'll hook it up and get a good cover for it. I suppose once it goes on the matching wheels and 35"s it might not fit in the garage anyway.

Yeah, with the height of my WJ a RTT wasn't really an option. I know I've said before I'm perfectly happy with a ground tent, but then this happened. ;) BTW it did come with a Max Coupler and all sorts of other good accessories too.I like it but I have bad knees. LOL
I think having a trailer would be nice, but I feel it would be used in only 25% of my adventures, which is fine as those times would be with my wife and our travels would be a lot more tame then when I go out with the guys to explore deeper into the back country. (By myself I just sleep inside my rig).Yeah, with the height of my WJ a RTT wasn't really an option.
