    100+ ambient Temp - ARB 50qt - 100 watt solar panel - Not enough?

    Yeah, I have a whole other thread going about my NL issues, another member with a 2012+ Jeep JK was experiencing the exact same issue. He ended up ditching his as well. For whatever reason, the NL and the JK don't seem to like each other. I love the fact that the Blue Sea has a manual...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Thanks, which model do you use? They seem to have many!

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Thanks, I agree on the updates, always good to see what actually worked! I got a couple retracting ratchets that are much nicer than what I was using. Also ordered a couple pairs of the new Lynx hooks that ExploringElements reviewed from Expo. They are kind of like RokStraps which I've used...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Apparently some older pickup beds are the same dimensions, Ford LWB 82-96 and Dodge LWB 73-87, but you'd have to verify the sizing for sure. I'm trying to figure out a cover that will still provide decent access when the rack is down in it's travel position. The front shouldn't be too hard but...

    My M101A2 Expo/Base Camp Trailer

    Turns out I am an idiot, the latch on the lid of the tongue box is adjustable!! Doh!! All sealed up tight now...

    100+ ambient Temp - ARB 50qt - 100 watt solar panel - Not enough?

    I found myself in Death Valley again this May in similar temps as last year, so I thought I would report back on my results. Late last summer, I discovered I was having intermittent charging issues with my National Luna system. After swapping parts around with the help of Paul from Equipt, the...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Update Just a quick update after having used the trailer a couple times. Took a trip out to Death Valley at the beginning of the month. With all the washboard roads, if something was going to break it was for sure going to happen out there. Good news is, the trailer worked flawlessly!! Not...

    Container Store watertight totes: recommended

    I have a couple of the 46qt. ones as well. Really happy with them. The price is great and so much better then fighting with the latches on the Bundu/Frontrunner boxes!

    M101-A3 to match my 2001 Suburban 2500

    I have those lights mounted up on my build, see thread in sig, page 3. I didn't bother with the seam welding and they seem to be fine so far.

    My M101A2 Expo/Base Camp Trailer

    I haven't had any road spray issues either. I noticed even when locked there is about a 1/4" of play with the lid, so the silty dust of the desert easily found it's way inside. Maybe I will see if I can get rid of the play first. It's Harbor Freight so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised!

    My M101A2 Expo/Base Camp Trailer

    Nice! Thanks for the pics on the actuators, looks pretty straight-forward. I'd probably have to redo my brackets as well, I'm thinking mine are too narrow. I don't know about your tongue box, but the seal on mine is horrible, so much dust got in from Death Valley it was laughable. Will be...

    DIY Solo RTT mounting contraption

    Very cool, except when you don't have a tailgate! The right height table/bench could be built to do something similar though. No longer an issue for me, my RTT is now mounted to my M101A1!

    PBColt M101A2 Basecamp Build

    Looking forward to this build, and always happy to help! Save those parking brake cables and levers, with a little fiddling you should be able to reuse them with the Dexter parking brakes. Mine were a wreck and finding reasonably priced replacements has been difficult.
