    12 volt "upcharger"?

    So, I trickle-charged it last night (with a regular-old charger that I've had forever), and it's reading 13.28 volts at the battery now. I guess that's good. When I get to my destination this weekend, I'll take a reading after a 3 hour drive in the Jeep while running the fridge. This should give...

    12 volt "upcharger"?

    I finally have all my 12 volt parts installed for Overlanding...only to find that the Jeep won't charge my AGM fully. It is not a daily driver and I need a way to keep the batteries in shape and ready to use. I have an NL Power Pack with a VMAXtanks SLR125 battery. Amazon had good reviews for...

    Who has a RTT mounted on a FrontRunner rack?

    Baroud Espace I had a Baroud Space installed on my Slimline II for a year. My solution was to order two Yakima Aero bars (slightly bowed up in the middle) and install them on the "short" tent install brackets from Frontrunner. This held the tent about 1 inch above the lip of the Slimline and...

    Rooftop Tents and 2015 Subaru Outback

    Yes, I used the 15. Links to the parts I ordered are below. I'm not really sure how much the Baroud weighs. My best guess, with all bedding and stuff, is 150 lbs. I was told that the tent should be around 130 lbs. Bars Control towers Landing pads

    2-Door JK JeepKitchen - AT Chaser - Globetrotter - National Luna build thread

    Wiring up the National Luna Power Pack Nice weather today. Took some time to wire up the NL Power Pack. After stripping the passenger side and vaccuming (it's still not clean), I decided to run the wires up the passenger side of the center console. I may regret this later if I put in an...

    2-Door JK JeepKitchen - AT Chaser - Globetrotter - National Luna build thread

    Thanks. When I bought the AT Chaser, I was pleased to find that I can extend and use the JeepKitchen while the Chaser is attached. That's very cool. Was pretty sure I'd need to disconnect every time I wanted to grab something from the cooler. Since space is so limited in the 2-Door, there is a...

    2-Door JK JeepKitchen - AT Chaser - Globetrotter - National Luna build thread

    So, I finally took some pictures for a build thread and plan to keep posting as the build progresses. Today, I finalized my JeepKitchen install in the JK. Since the JeepKitchen needs a flat surface to mount correctly, I scribed a test plate and have been driving around town with it for a few...

    looking for an ultralight tent

    I've had one of these for a couple of years. http://zpacks.com/shelter/hexamid_plus.shtml The price is a little higher than your aim...but used ones can be found on the UL forums. It's well under 2 lbs (not counting a pole...I use one carbon fiber hiking pole) and the floor liner can be used...

    Heat for RTT

    Thanks for the info. Here's the real question....if it was stolen would you buy it again? I'm looking for a way to get out earlier in the spring and later in the fall and have been eyeballing the AT model.

    Drifta Drawers? Anyone have them?

    I spent 15 years making and installing cabinets (including cabinet drawers). Here's the secret: If the slides are spec'd at 1/2 inch each, build your box O.D at 1 1/16 less than the box size I.D.. This will give you some adjustment (made by prying the drawer slides lightly away from the cabinet...

    Garmin InReach Explorer+

    I agree, I've lost track of a puppy on a hiking trip once and it was a very unpleasant (we kinda like those little turds). I found her eventually (well, two very nice ladies found her and we bumped into each other) and your quote is related to my "grumpy" post towards the beginning of this...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    Equipt1.com Oh, and I forgot to give "props" to Paul May and Equipt Expedition Outfitters. He sold me the NL and was one of the two most professional, accommodating, and pleasant salespeople that I have ever dealt with (the other being Rin at OK4WD). I'm a bit anal and controlling, but he...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    I ended up buying an NL Weekender 50 twin. Though I haven't taken it anywhere, it's been sitting in my kitchen keeping the beer cold. It's a darned-nice unit and the stuff in the freezer has stayed frozen for several weeks. But, I didn't expect the plastic handles, and it seems to cycle between...
