    Mission Overland trailer pro tip. It might be a good idea to remove the decorative cap on the spare tire as the spare will not fit on the hub with it on. It requires an allen wrench to remove.

    I took a detour up to Pueblo Colorado picked up two new tires. Some Cooper Evolution M/T I prefer mud terrain on the trailer as if you do get into mud the tires will not fill with mud and then stop turning.

    There were no options available for me to change hubs. The tires that came with it were some Chinese tires apparently aren't very good because they went bald in less than 10,000 MI and then of course the trail damage which can happen but probably shouldn't have. It's a shame for the amount of...

    Got a cut side wall and a bunch of tree in between the bead and rim of the other tire while out on the Medano Pass . Mission Overland was buying me new tires anyway. now should I buy a spare or should I take my chances and drive home without one? My friend has a Tacoma which I believe is...

    Good picture of how bad the camber is. The electrical cables for the brakes are a little short for this application. They will pull out of the butt connector when the suspension is extended.

    Some shots from my current trip. New Mexico and Colorado. Heading over the Medano pass today. Be sure to check the wires going into the RedArc. The screws can vibrate loose.

    Doesn't sound like it's getting cold enough to freeze to water in your tank or in the hoses which are insulated from the exterior.

    Best Fridge/Freezer I can get for my truck? Also go biggest you can afford?

    I've have an ARB 50qt for over 20 years and it has worked great. It is in the back of the Land Cruiser on a LoadSpotter Levitating Slide. As for fridge size, don't buy something that is larger that you realistically need. First it takes up space. Depending where you put it you can have...

    Avoiding virus during 10-day trip

    h Good hygiene is the best defense against any illness. Washing your hands is your best defense in keeping healthy against both the Chinese virus and the yearly flu. Washing your hands after using a spigot or anything you can't get the virus from is always a good practice under any...

    I found a 4-in drop hitch in my box of stuff. The trailer sits so much better behind the Land Cruiser. The safety chains and wiring and tongue jacks are so much higher off the ground. Four inches did make a big difference. (That's what she said.)

    Hot Water at altitude

    Good thread. I need to research the Truma heater in my trailer. My wife and I had a week of cold nights when tent camping when I realized my Mr Heater buddy did not work over 6,00 feet. Can't have that now with the Truma.

    National Luna dual battery system install in 200 Series

    According to National Luna, the solenoid is rated to 90 degrees C which is 194 degrees F. I have no doubt it gets that hot under the hood. I'll have to explore the idea of separating the the circuit board from the solenoid.
