    Who has the longest running ARB Fridge?

    Mine has been running almost continuously for over three years in the back of my JK. I'm running dual batteries, plug in when parked, and have solar panels in case I do any extended camping in hot weather (haven't needed it yet.). Great fridge!

    CVT Seam Tape Failure?

    I haven't either but I need to deploy it to install the condensation mat. I'll make sure to give the seam tape a good lookover.

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Finished installing the Ham radio (and got my license in the mail this week) and install my Trek Armor seat covers. Sore fingers but the fit is great and they look awesome.

    Noob 2M Wiring Question

    I've touched base with the local Ham club and got opinions before deciding what to buy. They have also offered to show me enough to get me up and running. I got an Icom 5100a radio and a SG7500NMO Dualband Mobile Antenna. I have a roof rack/RTT, so a roof mount is out so I opted to go with a...

    Noob 2M Wiring Question

    I took (and passed) my Technician test this weekend. Now I need to get busy working out the radio install while I wait for my name to appear on the FCC database website. Thanks again for all the input.

    Noob 2M Wiring Question

    I'm currently studying for my tech license and am researching a mobile unit for my JK. My question: Most sources say to wire directly to the battery to avoid issues with the electrical system, etc. I have an sPod already installed. Would it be okay to wire the radio to it? I would like to do it...

    Help with Nav Tablet

    I run a Nexus 7 in a Ram X mount and am pretty pleased with it. It is fast, has a great screen but, and this is my only real knock, it doesn't have a memory expansion slot. If it were solely for navigation there would be plenty of room for maps but since it is my only tablet space is a premium...

    Does a Good Knife have to = Expensive?

    I've used Mora knives for years and agree they are a high quality knife for a great price. I've purchased Mora (and some of the other higher end Scandi knives) from this vendor and have had nothing but good experiences: https://www.ragweedforge.com/ I buy Old Hickory knives whenever I see them...

    Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack Experiences

    UtahMike, Let me know what you find out from Frontrunner. I have the interior rack and it "squeaks" intermittently both on and off road. Tolerable but annoying....

    hood flutter

    The Mopar hood lock stops it and secures your engine compartment goodies from the less than honest. My understanding is they are required in Europe. The holes are there and all you need is a large rivet gun (and remove the grill) to do the install. It keys to your ignition key with the first...

    AEV 10 Gallon Fuel Tank

    I have the AEV fuel caddy and use a Trasharoo. It is a little more challenging to attach since the straps can't wrap around the backside of the tire as designed.(I wrap them over the top of the fuel caddy) I've started to use a bungie cord between the two straps on the backside of the tire/tank...
