My new Kermit (walnut-wide) showed up today. I opened it up, read the instructions, put it together....and the lower bow snapped 20 minutes in. It worked fine with the leg extensions on. Very comfortable. I took the extensions off and sat in it. Fine. Then I straightened my legs out while in the...

I'm a Chris Reeves fan and have managed to collect about 10 of them over the years...mostly older collectables. My daily carry is Mnandi and when I'm camping I carry a large Annual (my very favorite knife). It's the big one at the top. The one in the middle has an awesome blade for piercing...

We have had several rainy and/or snowy days, but today I said "to heck with it" and got the propane tank mounted. After sitting around and staring at stuff for an hour, I remembered that I had two "low profile" RTT brackets from Front Runner that I have never used for anything. Now they are...

Willing to accept offers or partial trade offers. All trade offers need to be "$5,000 in cash plus trade for XXXX". Interested in: Low mileage 4-wheeler FN Scar (preferably in .308) H&K assault rifles H&K P7-M8 (will consider any P7) Any Wilson Combat weapon (preferably a 1911) Other...

Haha, I like that. Rain resistant too.

Thread resurrection! The elbow tip is a good one and I have a semi-related problem. I am going to install my Propex in the rear of my Jeep (up high under the fiberglass roof) and need to find some sort of bulkhead connector for 60 mm duct. Does anyone have an idea? Can't find anything. I need...

Finally picked up the dog cot for 20% off. I think the pooch is going to like it!

Well, I'll keep at it then. Planning to get the propane, heater, and electrical up and running this week. Glad that somebody is reading the thread. :p As for my GVW, I don't know yet. But I'll bet a dollar that it's too heavy. We have a family campout on Easter weekend so I will be loaded up...

Interesting. Bet it would make a great "first RTT" for a lot of folks.

Well, I found a deal on a Snow Peak dog cot and ordered it. When stowed it's 6 x 6 x 32 (which is fairly long), but it will fit in the Jeep "on end". I'll report back after we use it over Easter weekend. It wasn't cheap, but I've been eyeing them for a while and didn't realize that they are...

These things look awesome and I've been seriously thinking about picking one up to use with a Road Shower or equivalent. Looks like it's not much more $ to get the aluminum case model (versus the soft case model). Did you use the Front Runner Bat/Manta brackets to mount it? $399.00 for the bag...

I've been mulling this over for the last few weeks with a 2-door JK, and for the same reasons. I'm tired of having one gallon jugs of water rolling around on the passenger floor. Granted, if you have an RTT and tend to wee in a bottle, those empty jugs come in handy. For me there are a couple...

OK, I'm curious. Do you mean wins for convenience, comfort, or speed? I've used a Sawzall (like everyone else) and seem to remember holding it there, holding it there, holding it there a little longer, holding it some more, holding it despite my forearms burning, holding it anyway....finally...

Naw, they are out of each others' reach. Or...a true power tool that works extremely well. Such as an electric chain saw?

Expedition Portal Reality Check. I don't mean to be a whiner here...but this build thread hasn't generated much, if any, reaction from this community. In fact, there has been some scuttlebutt about the general under-appreciation of build threads on the portal lately. To put it more plainly...

I think it's a great idea too. After mulling it over for the weekend, if I still think it's a great idea (and nobody offers an opinion that happens to point out something that I overlooked), then I will order them and install them. The worst part about a heated RTT is running wire A up into the...

Hi, I'm at the point in my project that I need to pass some power through the fiberglass roof of my Jeep and into my RTT. I need a low amperage 12V circuit in the tent (for charging the RTT light, phone charging, etc.) and I need to pass the wiring for my Propex thermostat through (which has six...

Today I reinstalled the electrical. For now I will reuse the NL Power Pack while I work out the details for another big battery. I really hate running wires. Tedious. Here I am ready to go to work. I cleaned that sub floor up less than two years ago when I installed all this the first time...

Awesome! You've convinced me and saved me some money too. I can't afford to buy two more batteries of the same age (well I could, but not for a month or so). I have one $300.00 deep cycle battery and was going add another new one of the same model. Would you recommend that I get two more of...

Ahhhh. See, I didn't know what to Google. ? Had no idea that banks and batteries weren't the same thing.
