    Can the iPad really be used as an out-of-signal range, off-road GPS device?

    I'm actually banking on that happening (Google snapping up Gaia) because after using all of these apps my ultimate fallback is still Google. It's an all in one solution - trip planning in My Maps, offline map storage and overlay of custom route or POI inside GMaps, onroad navigation, and finally...

    Kitchen Kit/Chuck Box

    My kitchen kit has evolved arguably the most out of all of my kit, including even the vehicle itself. My first setup was a pair of Really Useful Boxes, one each for pantry and kitchen along with a $20 butane stove and a cheap tool roll for all my baller Asian store utensils. Then I replaced the...

    Radio in Italy

    Pick up a couple of Motorola i576 or similar PTT cellphones off eBay. Make sure to get ones with Nextel SIM cards in them, not because you need cell network or service but simply to keep the PTT feature active. In my experience these work really well in dense urban areas for upto a 0.5 mile...

    ARB JACK vs. Hi-Lift Jack

    The passion in this thread is great, and interesting perspectives on the merits of the age old solution vs the new. It would all be worth it if the ARB product were priced even remotely close to any other alternative. It isn't a game changer that warrants the price, that's for sure. But what we...

    Can the iPad really be used as an out-of-signal range, off-road GPS device?

    This and similar products have worked really well for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G4SA1FG/ They cut the glare to a degree that makes the ipad usable in anything but direct sunlight outside the vehicle.

    Knockoff iKamper

    I believe iKamper is made in Korea and is very high-quality. The knockoff has clever Korean lettering on the title logo but is actually located in China....go figure....

    Beaver Tree camp kitchen Chuck box

    I'm selling this because it doesn't fit into my setup anymore. Currently local pickup only in Metro Detroit area. But if I find a suitable box I'll ship it at your actual cost. The brand is Beaver Tree and it is made in the USA from heavy-duty plastic. Similar to Dosko Campmate but a tiny...

    LC 200 length behind front seats?

    This might help, although no exact dimensions are available, he says around 6'5" behind front seats: http://transafrica2012.blogspot.com/p/die-schlafplattform.html <--- Let google translate that for you. In the Land Cruiser (whether its an 80/100/200) you don't need to remove the rear seats to...

    Good and affordable?

    Take a look at the Tecniq Steelhead work lights (google it). They are built in the US and are very well made. They have a lifetime warranty (although I dont know personally how good that is). The lens design actually makes sense compared to even some of the big names. I dont know what the price...

    Vehicle Portable Battery Options for Keeping a Dometic CFX 40 Refrigerator Charged

    Trailguy - I've had great luck with a single Group 49 in a 100 series. Pretty simple and sub-$200 install if you're going to replace the stock cranking battery. Here are some old posts for your reference: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/battery-size-49-will-it-fit.556173/#post-9868080...

    Vehicle Portable Battery Options for Keeping a Dometic CFX 40 Refrigerator Charged

    Theres plenty of lithium jump starters available these days, and the majority of them are of questionable quality. The ones from Antigravity and Noco are really the only types that I would trust. My XP10 Antigravity is a trooper, having started big v8s over and over again when the main battery...

    Vehicle Portable Battery Options for Keeping a Dometic CFX 40 Refrigerator Charged

    A portable power pack isn't cost effective, like you've found already - you may have to spend $600+ to get a good one with enough capacity. On the other end of the scale, you also don't need dual battery systems as long as: Fridge doesn't have to run without starting the engine for more than...

    Costco has a RTT

    Back on topic. Other than being most likely a cheap Chinese tent with ABS instead of composite shells, the only redeeming feature of this seems to be an easy return policy and not having to deal with shipping etc like when you buy a name-brand tent like James Baroud or AutoHome. I'm not so sure...

    Water container recs/stowage of them...

    If I had a JK I would do @Dan Grec 's setup documented here minus the $$$ UV purification system and level gauge. Running water is fundamental to camp living so it is totally worth the cost: http://theroadchoseme.com/diy-4x4-water-tank-pump-filtration-and-treatment Supplement it with a single...

    Land Cruiser 100 series - long range fuel tank

    I stand corrected, in fact it's about 252 miles or 405km between gas stations in Port Hope Simpson and Goose Bay. And we did it with the stock 100 series gas tank with quite a bit left over.... Did have a 4 gallon rotopax for some insurance though! Sent from my Nokia 7.1 using Tapatalk

    Cooking/Warming Lunch on the road - "Hot Logic Mini"

    FYI I've been using the 110v version as well with a cheap n stinky 100w inverter. Works great, a bit less efficient with the inverter but I was able to warm up freeze dried or dehydrated meal for 2 in just over an hour. Using only 10% of my 100Ah AGM battery.... That's great in my book! Sent...
