    Smittybilt RTT on sale for $599

    You get what you pay for. I'd wait for two reasons. You'll waste the money and have to buy the tepui later, and smittybuilt just knocks off everyone's products and puts em out of business

    Ya, the last time we did cold camping without a heater it was in the middle of an ice storm. i was toasty, but my girlfriend got pneumonia and we spent the rest of the vacation at home with her sick. Shes just susceptible to it i guess, go figure.

    Installed new LED tail lights last weekend, what do you think?

    Unless im mistaken, aren't halo lights just accents? If your headlights were a funky color that could be a problem because certain colors won't show up well under them making it difficult to see signs and or obstacles in the road. If they are indeed just accents though, it sounds like the laws...

    Awesome! Be sure to install a carbon monoxide and propane detector. Teardrops are small, and a crack or failure in any part could quickly be bad news

    That off the grid trailer looks really cool. They nailed it with that program.

    You have hard walls! Rain is just another reason to be happy you have a trailer when you're camping. :)

    This thread got quiet! We spent the weekend in Austin TX and took a side trip through the hill country. We will definitely go back and run the full route next time. Probably need a full two days to do it properly.

    The ARB 2500 will be too long for sure. I run the 2000 on my 510 and it JUST fits. If you're interested in the ARB awning and room, I have a review of mine going up on ExPo this saturday. If you can't wait, bottom line is that we love it. It gives you tons of space, the awning is easy to set up...

    I ended up switching hubs altogether to a toyota bolt pattern, however it ended up being somewhat pointless because the wheels require a spacer to fit properly. If I were you I would grab a spacer that coverts Jeep to Toyota pattern and solve the problem in one go. Adventure Trailers can get the...

    Well ad me to your list for the map bar. I definitely want one! What are your material cost? You would want 50% markup on that usually plus your labor. For reference a magnetic screen from So-Cal is 125 - though admittedly its a little more complex than a straight piece of wood.

    The older ones didn't have the same seals, stiffeners, latches, or hinges. Basically a bunch of stuff lol. They also found that the 510(which has a flat roof) needed a spacer on the vent in heavy heavy rain to avoid pooling and then dropping in a few drops
