The battery tender ones are $60 and have a built-in charge controller with temp compensation, which you almost certainly need in Phoenix. http://a.co/46sA0Hv You can use their USB adapter if you need 5V / 2.1A output: http://a.co/fQxsdEq

Go to any Asian grocery or restaurant supply store, there should be several in California. They usually have for just over $1 per can, $1.50 tops.

You've probably already made a choice, but leaving this here for posterity. Its a kit I put together using pieces carefully chosen from the local Asian grocery/restaurant-supply store. A lot of the pieces I chose are made in Japan (some from S.Korea), I'm not saying this is always better but...

Thank you for the idea. Fixed your link - https://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-White-Ice-Cube-Bin/dp/B0010L1C28/ I have a 86qt model and the ice bin fits perfectly on the side of the big basket with some shelving clips (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L4ED4JU/). Should work great for...

I am an Android user/die-hard fan since version 1.6 (circa 2009 I think) and can't recommend it highly enough for everyday use. I have owned nearly every pure android phone worth having, and at least 3 high-end android tablets. I also have fair experience with the cheaper android tablets like...

@Rachel - what was the fully loaded weight of your trailer (roughly)? Most people using a torsion type axle are using 3500lb spindles which have a much larger snout and inner bearing (1.375" if I remember correctly). Large off-road tires and heavy loads are expected to fail the spindle in the...

I'm posting this follow up on my previous comments, hopefully it will help someone. I ended up returning the tent to REI (who, as always, were extremely accommodating and eager to get feedback). In the future, I don't think I want anything to do with these "innovative" Yakima products anymore...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but if you're still around can you comment on how your awesome awning idea worked out in windy conditions?

Some more random observations about the Skyrise medium from unboxing and mocking it up. - the support "panels" dent easily and you have to be really careful while handling the tent while mounting/dismounting. This might be true of all non-ruggedized RTTs though. After opening the box I found...

Actually the tent would sit about 3" higher with these mounts. Not a very trick design, but could be useful for mounting other stuff to a roof rack... Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Yup, thats a 15 year old design and while it certainly worked, they went back to a panhard for the next gen Durango. Frame notches can be reinforced in other ways unless you're saying they cut off half the section, it has been done on quite a few prototypes before.... With a combination of a...

The quick mount system weighs about 11 lbs by itself, so the real weight of the medium is about 104lbs - if you have an aluminum T-slot roof rack, I'm sure there's a way to bolt it directly to the crossbars using captive nuts. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Glad to see you're open to going with a simpler arrangement. When I say the Watts isn't done on production cars, I mean in the past decade or so. I believe the last production vehicle with a Watts link (in NA, at least) was the PT Cruiser. Other OEMs have tried it and decided it's not worth its...

If you're just doing it for the coolness factor and a "cause I can" approach, have at it. It's very clear that you have the design and build skills to make something that can be used in the truck. I hope you take the following advice in the right spirit, I am not here to offend, argue or say...

A2-70 (not AZ-70) is the grade of stainless steel bolt, similar to (and a bit weaker than) Grade 5 steel bolts. So it doesn't necessarily mean Tepui and Smittybilt are using the same hardware, only that they're using the same grade. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
