I found this post on Exploroz that appears to be directly related to the problem you're having. It apparently is caused by loose connections that cause internal resistance and require higher power in order to light up. See here. Let me know if ARB has a formal response to your inquiry. I'm...

How do you guys think it would compare to the ARB Adventure light? http://www.arb.com.au/arb-4x4-adventure-light.php Anyone used both?

Regarding the Smittybuilt seat covers. I notice that they're spec'd for Jeep seats only. Does anyone know if they'll fit other SUV's? They appear to use velcro tabs, so I think there's some wiggle room for fitting to other seats, but I wasn't sure. Also, the height might be a bigger concern...

I've been intruigued by the Thule Go boxes ever since I saw them in the first issue of OJ. Also, gate-mouthed tool bags can be used here too. If you need to close them up, then they zip closed. If you need to over-fill them, you can simply open them up for a large, rectangular storage bin...

Merv, I couldn't agree more. I certainly like to cook better in the field than I do at home. It enhances the overall experience. Paper plates and flatware and such are not only a PITA to use and eat with, but simply add serious bulk to the trash management while on a trip. I like to use...

You're giving me hope that I could learn to build one of these too. I'm anxious to see it finished. :jumping:

MSR for compact stove If you don't mind priming (you said you didn't want canister fuel), then the MSR Whisperlite International is a great stove for boiling water. It's quiet, very hot, boils water very fast, and works in a wide range of temps. The MSR Dragonfly does a great job too, almost...

Looks like a great setup. Great job Pierre. Truck's looking sweet in the snow. Is it connected to a tank in that last shot showing 120PSI?

Welcome Glad you found and joined ExPo. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more about the trips you take and the build of the Disco 1. Cheers, TD

For a compass mounted in the vehicle, you'll likely need one that can be calibrated for use inside the vehicle. It could experience magnetic "interference" from other devices or EM fields. I used to have one that could be calibrated; however, I found that generally you had to compromise to get...

Bjorn, Thanks again for another really great find.:D Australia really does have all the cool stuff for this truck. Now, I'm definitely going to need to find that money tree.

That's about as slick as I've seen. Very nice. I'm jealous. I've been struggling with what to do with my pull-pal ever since I got one. I normally just have to strap it to the roof rack, but I'd love a secure and handy place just like that to store mine. What did he come up with for holding...

That looks pretty sweet. I might just have to do that. I'd rather opt for a single tire carrier and then add jerry can holders on the other side and a pull-pal mount as well. But damn, that's a great start. I've looked and looked and never found one for my truck. Thanks so much for posting...

Welcome to ExPo. Glad you found us. Plan to stay here a while. Nice looking truck. I'm always jealous of those Safety Devices roof racks. Aren't they hard to come by anymore?

Brian, I had this eventually start happening to me at random times. I ususally found it happening after taking my vehicle off road--I think dust collected on the steering column bushing or dust shield. When you said that it sounded like a sneaker on a tile floor, that's when I thought that...

Greg, thanks for the help. I was looking for that kind of feedback on the added or lack of added assistance that a small tank would provide. It would be great if the compressor manufacturers provided a db rating on the noise level that they produce. I really liked your A/C compressor converted...

Thanks, gentlemen, for all the quick replies. I will follow up on the links that you sent. Thanks, too, for the clarification on the 33% duty cycle compressors and extending the air intake to a safe location. Doing further research revealed filter fittings for the Viair compressors to...

So, I’m trying to weigh my options for an onboard air system. Cost/size/speed/functionality are all something to consider. I’ll be using this mainly to air up my tires and firestone airbags (once installed), but may decide later to run an impact wrench or a few air tools. Also, I have a few...

Damn, that would be one fine Xmas. Wouldn't the lockers and new gears provide additional "safety" for the family? :D

Thanks, James. It's been a challenge, but fun too in its own way.
