I've had one of these for about three years now. Originally I bought it to use on an extended trip from the US to Central America. I like how small it packs down and it has held up well. We've cooked many a meal on it without issue (using both wood and briquettes ). I do remember using it on a...

Thanks! I felt the same way (I've had a TJ before and loved the engine). Unfortunately I didn't do a write up because I was interested in completing the swap as soon as I could ;) Given that the 258 was supposed to put out around 110hp when new (almost 40 years ago) swapping to the 4.0 with...

Beautiful rig! I have an '81 Wagoneer that I purchased with a 258 under the hood and a three speed behind that. We drove it from California to Central America and back last year like that, but I knew it wasn't the best setup. I also had low oil pressure and ended the trip with some major blow...

I tried one yesterday in store (60 seconds in the chair) and loved it. It felt more roomy than the Sunset chair and the rocking was addictive. I will say that the vertical chair supports are close to the arm rests though. Also, my wife did not like it at all, but that could just be because of...

For my sagging headliner, I ran a 2x4 through a table saw to give me 1/4" strips that I glued (construction adhesive) on the topside of my headliner. I staggered them every couple of inches, set some weight on it for a few days (I sandwiched the whole thing between two sheets of plywood with...

I have a North Shore rack that is my hands down favorite of any rack I've used. Super quick & easy to load/unload all four bikes (hey, I'm the one doing it for the family). It's built stout and fairly adjustable (I've had 29'ers and 16 wheels on it). The only downside is that it prefers bikes...

Thanks everyone for the input, it's much appreciated. Unfortunately the Engel does not have a LVD built-in. I'll probably just hook it directly up to the SC for now and make use of it's LVD. Maybe in the future I'll hook up a solenoid to control my fuse block too.

I'm running my Engel 45 fridge (among a few other things) off of my house battery in my truck. I already have 200W of solar to charge everything (along with the alternator when moving) using a Victron BlueSolar 75/15 MPPT. Currently I have a fuse block wired to my house battery where all of my...

What is everyone using for a serviceable (something that I can clean in the field) fuel filter on their rigs? Right now I have a fuel filter just before my carb and I want to put an additional one in just before my electric fuel pump. Any suggestions?

It's expensive at that price, but I did drool a little bit.

I've never put a hammock in a vehicle (thought about it though...) but I have spent a lot of time backpacking with hammocks, so I thought I might chime in. First, I'd recommend avoiding the ENO hammocks. While they are heavy duty, the fabric is less comfortable and stretchy than some other...

Why not just get a proper system installed in your jeep? That way you can keep the cool air where it should be and the hot air outside. You can get get everything you need for under $1k from https://jeepair.com/

I put the Corbeau Baja RS's in my CJ7 and really appreciate them. Comfy, lots of support, and they help smooth out the ride a bit. I've only spent about 3-4 hours in them at a time and never had any problems.

I've got to give credit to my wife here: she pulled two plastic tubs (I think it's something like this - http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-ultra-74-qt-clear-underbed-storage-tote-with-gray-lid/-/A-14758435) out from under our bed and put them in the back of the Wagoneer. With the rear seat in...

Funny you made the switch to this setup. I'm about to build a cargo deck / drawer system for the rear of mine (my spare is not in the cargo area) to help organize camp gear and I was just looking for this thread to see how you built yours.

As you're just looking for espresso (not a milk frother), I'd check out a Handpresso. While I've never used one personally, I've heard good things. For me, I love my espresso machine at home and I use an Aeropress or a french press on the road (and a Montbell dripper when backpacking). There's...

I was stoked to find a Snow Peak Coffee Press at the recent REI garage sale for $20. It was in perfect condition, but someone returned it because "it made gritty coffee". I'm assuming they just ground their coffee too fine. It's one of those things that I've wanted, but could never justify the...

I'm curious what you decide to do. I recently picked up an '81 Wagoneer that came with an extra tank in place of the standard spare tire (I think it's about 25-30 gallons). Originally I liked the idea of extra fuel on board, but this required the spare to be mounted inside the cab - unless I fab...

Are you talking about the "bouncy seats" that were used where the seat mount has suspension built in to travel in a vertical path? If so, that's not what the suspension seat from Corbeau that I have does. The Corbeau seat I have is mounted to a fixed seat mount - it does not move in a vertical...
