Same here, I went from a NL system to the Blue Sea and have never looked back.

Just my 2 cents... You really don't need to go crazy with the grease on these, especially if you use telescopic tubing. I painted my inner tubes and yes they have a few scratches but there really isn't any binding that necessitates a bunch of grease unless your clearances are really tight. I...

You might want to check with Garmin, they had a couple of these for sale at their booth at ExpoWest. They were just sitting on the table. I would have got one for my Inreach SE but the screen is failing so I'm going to end up replacing it.

I just ordered at new Samsung Tab A 32gb 8" (2017) off Amazon for $149 to replace my aging 7" Samsung. After using Gaia on my Pixel XL on the last couple trips I am really liking all the map options and it's fairly easy to use. My old tablet just can't keep up with much of anything anymore so...

Great progress!!

Yeah, those BP's are definitely not cheap! No issues with swaying offroad but I am frequently towing my trailer so I'm not exactly flying down the trails.

I also have the AEV 2.5" Dual Sport lift and 3 of the 4 Bilstein shocks started leaking. I wasn't unhappy with them but I ended up replacing them with Rancho 9000's based partly on an Overland Journal shock review. We hit a lot of washboard roads in the desert areas and they had less fade then...

Ok, this is going to be awesome!

I had a feeling I was going to keep modding/changing/improving things which is why I did the same on the bed. Once you start hitting the trails with these things you start to get a better idea of what you want and what does and doesn't work. I'm still honing in on some things which is why I...

Yes you would be correct on the HR! It was my first experience welding with steel, so I think I just chose it based on what I had seen on other builds. So far it's been holding up great. Paint wise I used a Rustolem x2 which is a primer and paint combined. It's been holding up well also and...

Excellent! The rack was built with this: Rack Tubing from IMS That's the only specs I have for it.

Glad you figured it out. Just keep your eye on the monitor, when the NL solenoid disconnects it does so very quietly, without the monitor you won't know. Also, even if it doesn't work out you can still use the NL monitor with another system. Just cut the plug off and you will find 4 wires, 2...

Sold!

I bit the bullet and purchased one, it fits perfectly in the back of the trailer. It seems very well made, I will report back once I've had a chance to use it, which probably will be at Expo this year. It's mostly for drinks which helps free up space in the ARB Fridge.

I didn't have the best of luck with the NL system but mine was mounted under the hood. The Jeep JK engine compartment is very hot and the NL system doesn't thrive in that environment. I had a thread on hear about my experiences which I can't locate at the moment. I have a basically new NL...

We love our Skottle, you can pretty much cook anything on it and unlike a stove you can keep food warm on the sides while you are finishing up your cooking. Super easy clean up and we use ours a table when not cooking. When we go out in a group, pretty much whoever has cooking duties for the...

I have to agree on the Yeti mugs, colsters, etc., they work really, really well compared to any knockoffs I own. That said, I will be picking up one of these Lifetime coolers for the desert runs where a supplement to the ARB fridge is needed. I have a couple Lifetime tables that have held up...

Great build! I really like the swing away tailgate idea. I didn't want to go the pintle route on mine, I just can't stand rattles. The Max-coupler is silent that if I do hear any noises I know something is wrong with something!

Agreed!

Have you seen my avatar? LOL Just kidding, I haven't had much issue with liquid splashing that high under the hood. The OEM ARB connector certainly isn't waterproof either.
