Bought new, went a different direction with the build. Brand new in the box (opened once to look at it) $120 Located in Orange County https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_MTSA2525?impressionRank=1

Howdy! So I got some ideas but before I even test them out and put them into something tangible I'm curious if anyone has an idea as to the weight capacity of the JKU hinge mount. I currently have the morryde hinge and gate stiffener but I wonder about the body side. How much weight can it...

So I installed the morryde gate reinforcement bracket and added the spacers under my morryde hinges (had those previously). During the install I added the limiting spacer that came with the gate reinforcement. Not even 24-hours post installation and my limiter bracket popped out on the body...

So.... can I charge it with the alternator? The battery lists as having a built in BMS. I do have an isolator in place that cuts the connectivity when the alternator is not running. It's a 100AH battery btw specifically setup to run the fridge/freezer.

My wife has been asking me why there hasn't been a portable AC we can use in our trailer that runs on 12v. Did some searching and found couple that were an arm and a leg until the other day a Kickstarter campaign advertised itself on my FB feed. So I figured... Might be worth a risk. Figured...

Buddy of mine pinged me about it and I figure it's a great price and if I don't like it, I can take it back. Also if you are a AAA member you get an additional 10% off! Might put it on the back of the trailer or the side of the jeep. Not sure yet ;)...

Outside of GooseGear does anyone else make a delete bracket for the 60% side of the seat?

Started a topic in the jeep forum regarding solar panel on a JK hood. I have some questions though that transcend the jeep so I figured I'll post up here: Has anyone mounted a flexible solar panel on their hood? Did you discover any heat issues with hood not dissipating as much? Did you...

Something just occured to me: while I don't like the idea of a solar panel on the roof too much: cargo rack and the like take up the room, plus I want to park the can in the shade as much as possible, I started thinking about putting a solar panel on the hood. Anyone did that? I did a brief...

So I have a 115AH house battery that primarily runs the fridge, solar and an 8AWG going back to the main battery (I'm using an old run that I had for the newly added house battery). Just recently I have learned that connecting the power from the main battery or the alternator directly to the...

Not the type that I would take on great big trip.... It's the type that I can fold up into pieces and stick it either in the back of my jeep, on top of the jeep, into the camper... Hell... I can probably even strap it to the spare tire ;) I also have it's bigger brother that still folds up...

Week ago at 66K and 9 years i finally got around to replacing the automatic transmission fluid and filter. I had the filter and fluid in the garage nearly 3 years now and always kept finding reasons to do it later as this is slightly more involved then the standard oil change. Anyways - picked...

As I'm prepping for Ursa Minor i realized that I want more 'cargo' capacity outside of the jeep. The cargo box stores chairs, small standup shower, folding porta potty chair with wag bags, compressor, rope, tarp and other fairly light items that take up room and I want to keep away from the...

So, playing with Visio I have put together a skeleton for the Kitchen for my JKU. I would be using the Aluminum Extrusion (got 10 sticks of it already to check it out and I like it's strength to weight relationship). There would be no crossbeams on the bottom on the passengers sides as that...

So in the cargo area we have this little "cubby" that (at least in my case) holds stuff forever and I rarely ever look into it. I'm thinking about using it to store some of my extreme emergency repair stuff - i.e. welding rods, goggles, bailing wire, welding gloves, spare jumper cables and the...

I recently picked up a bodega 48 qt fridge and have been testing it in the garage. So far so good: it seems to be keeping temp as set (I'm using fridge thermometers to double check) and when you throw water bottles into the freezer, it pulls an Elsa on them and freezes them without any issues...

I started asking questions in the Ursa Minor thread but figured I shouldn't hijack it too much, plus the topic is broader then UrsaMinor. So here's the starting point: 2012 JKU Sport. Originally had the 17 and 58 springs. I just verified that I have the 19 and 60 springs (I upgraded...

My 4 gallon rotopax for your 3 gallon one. Any takers?

Since I ordered Ursa Minor for the JK I realized that a vehicle fridge/freezer makes sense. I went with Bodega BO T36. Got it with a $20 coupon so it almost covered CA sales tax. What I like about that one is that the freezer and fridge sections are identical to each other in size...

It's interesting how life changes. Many years ago I started my adventure in outdoors on my own two feet.... with time I moved to a Jeep Cherokee - stock, used with a crappy 2.8 V6.... many years later picked up a 98 XJ with 4.0, kept it stock for years and it took me many places. Then it...
