    Wheelchair accessible camper build

    Thanks, it is for sure! It proved that it will work out great! I can tranfer into the back door with no issue, but need some handles or straps to help get myself pulled all the way in and where I want to be. I didn't take a single picture, having too much fun hanging with friends and then it...

    Wheelchair accessible camper build

    It's only got a 45" interior height, it'd be impossible to fit a wheelchair in (while in it). I'll transfer into the back directly into the bed.

    Wheelchair accessible camper build

    Perhaps the most important measurement for wheelchair users, the rear door height is 21" inches from the ground.

    Wheelchair accessible camper build

    I debated putting this in the camper section, but this is more appropriate, I think. I had a crash almost 10 years ago on a dual sport which resulted in a T-6 complete SCI, leaving me paralyzed from the chest down. I have been looking at ways to camp, especially at dualsport rides, and after...

    I'm winch dumb, can you help me?

    Lockers are on the list, but I have some more serious research to do on that. Unfortunately, a light 4x4 and a hydraulic drive-from-wheelchair system rules out any small or light 4x4. Literally the only 4x4 wheelchair trucks on the market are all Silverados. I don't have the ability to transfer...

    I'm winch dumb, can you help me?

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That's awesome!!!! I lived in Clarksville for a long time and would occassionally take my XJ to LBL, I've done a TON of hiking up there (I think I've done almost every trail, possibly all of them except the newest stuff), and pounded out thousands of miles up there on...

    I'm winch dumb, can you help me?

    Thank you all so much for the replies, they really do help immensely! Awesome, hopefully I'll be able to do some dummy pulls with the girlfriend to get her comfortable before we need to use it. I like the simple idea, good call! It's in the plan, thanks! Makes total sense, thanks! The...

    I'm winch dumb, can you help me?

    Hi all, I have not done a ton of 4-wheeling, having spent most of my outdoor time in 2 wheels. I'm now, largely, limited to travelling offroad via my truck, but I use a wheelchair and need some assistance with winches and specific things to look for. So, as I said, I use a wheelchair, and will...

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    Stock photos from the dealer as I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but hopefully tomorrow that all changes. I had a motorcycle accident 3.5 years ago, and I've been trying to find more ways to get outdoors. I have an El Camino with a 450hp LS1 that is my weekend car, and a Jetta Ute (Smyth...

    Power Feed that automatically senses when vehicle is running?

    Dave, thanks for the links, some more poking around got me back to what I originally saw. Of course, it's not red, but this was it. https://camera-source.com/universal-intelligent-12volt-power-source.html

    Power Feed that automatically senses when vehicle is running?

    Ah, okay, that makes sense. I thought they were all going to be big and bulky like that. I don't think it was pitched as such, rather an accessory power port of some sort, but that gives me a path to look down. Thanks!!

    Power Feed that automatically senses when vehicle is running?

    It was quite a bit more simple than these. The one I saw was a small red plastic coated component/box of some sort. It had 2 or three wires. I believe it connected to both sides of the battery, and then had a single power out on it. I've never seen anything quite like that in the past. Using a...

    Power Feed that automatically senses when vehicle is running?

    Hi all, I saw something this morning while I was looking around for something completely not related, I came across a simple device that connected directly to the battery of a vehicle. It somehow (presumably voltage increase) was able to determine when the vehicle was running, and would provide...

    any paras here?

    T-4 Para since July 2015. I was active on here many years ago when I had an XJ, and then I got very heavy into dual sport motorcycles. Had a freak accident on a dirt road while borrowing a buddies Vstrom1000, and ended up with a broken spine, broken wrist and broken rib and in the hospital for a...
