    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    Thank you for sharing the rules of heat transfer and the conversion of energy here. Something to remember about this type of on board heater is that regardless of whether you choose a coolant heat exchange unit, an electric unit or a combo, it is necessary to run your engine. To drive an...

    Defender 90 #597 upgrades...one very nice rig

    That is correct. It is a hasp for a padlock. While the drawer is locking and the door has a locking mechanism, additional "visual" security was desired by the owner. This product is no longer available but we had access to one. Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

    Defender 90 #597 upgrades...one very nice rig

    Not too much of a fan of that compressor location. Just seems too exposed. I was under my chassis the other day and that particular area of my rig is all beat to crap (its a 109, so similar-ish-kinda chassis). i have my compressor under the driver side seat....well close to the fuel tank...

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    The application you are describing without a tank and using a jerry can of water would be better accomplished with a Helton. The Hot water heater we use requires an on board water tank and pump system.

    Timbren Axel question

    Our analysis of the Timbren is that it compares to a torsion axle in performance and has the advantage of being servicable which a torsion is not. Handling characteritics are very similar to a torsion axle i.e. good for highway, moderate fire road duty and light utility trailer usage. This is...

    Timbren Axel question

    We are testing these in a speciatly application. They are suitable in a static load application however they lack the wheel travel and variable pre-load capabilities that we prefer for our core oevrland trailers.

    No plans for any other models as only the JK 4 door offers a roof line length that makes sense.

    AT Comanche upgrades

    I am unfamiliar with the Clayton LA kit. We built our own. In hindsight, I would have been better off with an off the shelf kit. I think you are taking the right path. The Deaver Springs were custom made and not off the shelf. They required 2 trips to Deaver: First to measure up, second to get...

    Chaser video from Wales

    It is our standard adjustable trailing arm suspension using Fox coilovers instead of air struts or air springs. The second video of the red Chaser has been on the web for awhile. The red Chaser is equipped with an air spring/shock combination.

    Caboose M.U.T.T. on eBay...

    Just a quick review of the images suggests that they may not registered with the NHTSA as a trailer manufacturer as evidenced by the CA Highway Patrol VIN which is issued for home built units. In their pictures there is an absence of NHTSA/DOT required reflectors and tire data that would be...
