    Adventure Trailers Max Coupler

    http://www.adventuretrailers.com/coupler.html Scroll to the bottom of the page. I use one of these on the trailer and one on the truck. Now, for the coupler itself, you could use a standard locking pin, right?

    Montero by Gophere

    I think you're right on target with prioritizing the sliders over the bumper for now, if you must choose. Also, I'd recommend waiting on the bumper until you can get the winch too. Now, for the gen 2.5, I think you'll need a small amount of fabrication done to get the ARB bumper to fit. RogerH...

    yaesu 7800 remote mount speaker options?

    A lot of folks use the MFJ 281. I use it with my Yaesu 857-D. I have it mounted behind the drivers seat, high on the B pillar, right behind my head. I can hear it quite easily and routing the cable to the radio under the seat was quite easy. It's also easy to hear it from the passenger seat...

    Montero by Gophere

    Sweet. Can't wait to see it. Sliders? I'm not sure anyone makes them in the US. But, they're not hard to have made by any competent fabricator.

    Partner Steel sm folding stove and adapter questions

    I think you made the right choice going with the 2-burner/ windscreen model. It will outlast you. Also, you can get the 1lb adapter from Bill at Partner Steel, or just order it at the same time you order your stove. If you get your stove from AT I'm sure they can get order it for you at the...

    Heat Guard for Synthetic Line

    Masterpull LCP rope has plenty to wrap the first layer of the drum on my Warn XD9000. It might work for you assuming the drums are of similar size.

    ARB winch Extension Vs. additional synthetic line

    I bought the ARB winch extension, but now I wish I had purchased a synthetic line extension instead. The main reason? The synthetic rope extension can be daisy-chained to take up extra slack when using the extension with a hi-lift for winching. Sure, I use my bumper-mounted winch most of the...

    ARB w/ Blue Top Opitma Question

    Straight from the Odyssey website I posted earlier: "Mounting flexibility Non-spillable design — can be mounted on any side in any position except inverted. Takes up less space in the boat than competitors." I found this info here. I'm not sure about the Deka batteries. I mention...

    ARB w/ Blue Top Opitma Question

    You may not need the CCAs, but you need the Amp Hours to run the fridge as you suggested. The largest Optima (group 31) has only 75AHs. The 105AH Deka or Odyssey will provide you with 50% more power than the goup 31 Optima. If Optima made a 105AH battery, you could go with that, but they...

    iPad and Navigation

    Scott, I think the iPad could certainly be a great platform for this type of navigation, especially with the built-in GPS option. I wonder, though, about the usefulness of the standard USGS Topo maps for the application you list. I get the impression that in some areas the maps can be out of...

    ARB w/ Blue Top Opitma Question

    Skip the blue tops, and look into Deka or Odyssey.
