    Jeep XJ Pop Top Camper Build

    How are your DIY lizard skin products holding up? Was the white product you sprayed on the interior also a 1:1 with enamel paint or another product? I’ve been following your build as a lurker for several years now and it has inspired me to start on my own Cherokee camper! Hoping for a bit more...

    Circuit Breaker Sizing for Winches

    My reason to put a breaker or physical disconnect in the circuit is to prevent an electrical fire in the event of a short due to damaged insulation.

    Finding Premium (high octane) Gasoline in Remote Areas

    I would love to have a small Isuzu diesel, but it would be very expensive to convert in anything but a junkyard motor. There's the cost of the engine, rebuilding the engine, rebuilding the injection pump and turbo, plumbing it all, putting a transmission behind it, adapting to a transfer case...
