    Dual battery options for 2 door JK

    Please let me know what you think of the Genesis. My pennies are all saved up and I've decided to go with an NL Weekender 50 fridge/freezer. It allegedly draws a little more power than the ARB...but I gotta have the freezer man! So, enough procrastinating...I have to choose a battery system...

    Garmin InReach Explorer+

    Yup. Towards the bottom there is an asterisk stating "Garmin maps will not work on the inReach Explorer+". I'm paraphrasing here. When I heard that Garmin bought DeLorme I was really excited. "You watch, they are going to finally make an all-in-one outdoor communication/location device!". It's...

    3.8l death & warranty replacement.

    The curse of the 3.8 is not a myth. My 07 spun the main bearing at 60K. No warranty at that point (they hadn't started to offer the 100K powertrain warranty at that time). I hired a local shop (that hired a local yokel to rebuilt it), and the rods were making noise 300 miles later. The yokel...

    Rooftop Tents and 2015 Subaru Outback

    I thought I'd share because there was no info to be found on the Interwebs about this setup when I was researching. Baroud Space on a 2016 Outback 3.6R. I like it and although you can tell the weight is up there, 75 MPH on the freeway is no problem and feels safe. 1 - 2 MPG loss. I used the...

    Dual battery options for 2 door JK

    Still deciding Good infos from everyone. Thank you. At this point I'm thinking about building my own system. I installed stereos for years when young (very long ago) and am pretty sure I can handle it. Current plan is put one of these in front of my JeepKitchen and install two Deka 8A31DTMs...

    Dual battery options for 2 door JK

    Looks like an Optima D34 is 55 aH. I couldn't find the group size on the sites (either Nemesis or Optima). What is the largest group size for the Nemesis (wouldn't happen to be group 34...would it)? I hadn't heard of this manufacturer. Thanks.

    Dual battery options for 2 door JK

    It's time for a dual battery system for my 2 Door JK. I will be powering an ARB50, 12 volt fantastic fan (at night), an LED porch light, and misc. small loads recharging headlamps, iPhones, Delorme, etc. The options that interest me are: Genesis setup (under the hood). Looks like I will wind up...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    Well, as the post said...I don't have room for "ARB's". I have room for one unit. Balancing frozen and refrigerated items in one compartment sounds a bit like complicated, voodoo-related work to me, something akin to chasing ice cubes around at grocery stores and dodging puddles of water. :)...

    Strongest rear tire carrier for JK

    Thanks for the info everyone. That is the ladder that I am using (same family anyway). It's quite a bit shorter than the ladder that shipped with the tent. I hadn't thought of strapping it to the spare tire. I have a JeepKitchen coming. Maybe I'll have my HVAC buddy make another compartment on...

    Strongest rear tire carrier for JK

    I have an RTT that allows rear entry on my JK, and it's time for a rear bumper/tire carrier combo. My intention is to use the Frontrunner rear-wheel steps to get in and out of the RTT and I weight about 230lbs. Any idea if any of the available brands are heavy-duty enough to accommodate my...

    WTB: James Baroud Discovery or Discovery Space

    I bought a 2015 demo Space from Rin last winter. It was a great deal and the tent was in great condition. I highly recommend dealing with him.

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    Thanks for the replies all. Lots of good points and ideas (especially the pre-mixed margaritas). I hadn't looked at SnoMaster yet, but have seen the name come up often in threads from either Africa or Australia. However, I found a really great deal on a Jeepkitchen and bought it yesterday...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    Hi, Yet another discussion about fridges (I've read them all). Want to discuss it some more Yall? I'm torn between the National Luna 40 with 60 mm of insulation and the 52 Weekender with the 10 liter freezer and 40mm of insulation. Does anyone really need the freezer? If you have it, do you...

    For Sale: AT-Overland Jeep Wrangler JK Interior Parts

    More questions Hi, I have a two door, and it looks like you might be willing to both separate and ship. How much for the drawer and the fridge slide/stove combo? I would be willing to pay shipping to MT.

    Hard shell tent - are gas struts really better?

    I have only used an Espace Evolution 270 and it's great. But...my one big gripe with the gain in height at the end where I choose to put my head, is that if it rains at night you will need to close the cover. Sounds like a little thing, but I sleep very warm and prefer the breeze. It's nice to...

    Rear awning for James Broud Space ideas

    Hi All, I've been using my newish Baroud Espace and it's pretty cool. I like to put my head towards the screen at the rear of the Jeep with the cover unzipped. It's great. Until it rains. Anyone have ideas for rigging up some sort of awning on the rear of the RTT? I see that ARB makes a 49 inch...

    Square bars vs. round bars vs. Aero

    Hi, I'm going to put Baroud Space RTT on my 2016 Subaru Outback and am purchasing an aftermarket base rack system. Options are limited for the 2016, so I'm leaning towards the Yakima setup with Landing Pads. They are available with Round or Aero-like bars. On my Jeep with Front Runner Slimline...
