Not yet. I always seem to forget :rolleyes:

Thats a good point. Home made MREs!

I pre-cook meals and put them in 1qt containers in the fridge. I see no reason to vaccuum seal. Do most of the cooking in the two nights leading up to the trip, things keep in the fridge for 5-7 days easy. Soups, stews, sauces, rice, etc. Usually ~2-3 braised/slow cooked meat/veg quarts and a...

You have expended so many resources trying to turn your Jeep into a Land Rover that you might as well have bought two or three LR's by now!

I forgot that I've been chasing an intermittent overheating issue that I think stems from there being an air pocket in the cooling system. I do also notice a slight coolant leak where the bottom hose connects to the overflow tank (not a wet leak, but a build up of dried/calcified coolant at the...

I'm a Mo kind of guy myself. My experience is that I installed a power system in my vehicle without near the complication or exasperation. Group 27 Marine battery, Blue Sea terminal mount fuse block with a 200A fuse, running 2/0 welding cable to the rear of the vehicle through a slit cut in an...

I agree with all of the above. Hence my suggestion on the heavy duty security net. A 1/4" diameter stainless steel cable mesh with 4" openings is going to be awful hard to get anything meaningful through. And who said I'd be cowering in the hotel room. If I'm just off an interstate exit halfway...

Some of you guys are pretty high on the paranoid scale. There is always a "what if" scenario. What if you are sleeping in the truck and a gang of 4 people all swarm you with firearms and take the vehicle (with you in it) by force? What if your fancy trailer alarm goes off but it takes you 3...

Suggest re-naming thread, "How to make a simple power system complicated"

With a Lokka in the front I'd probably have a spare front axle close at hand if you can spare the room. The tools are all very standard save the large socket (32MM I think?) for the front axle nut. You typically don't need an impact wrench to remove it on the trail - a long breaker bar, and a...

Thanks. I think the stock diffs are plenty strong for moderate use with an experienced driver. Wheelspin/bouncing/shock loading are the death of the spider gears. The Xterra traction control system is rather excellent and used appropriately will keep you from doing much damage. In most of the...

R180 #1: 18-20" of heavy late season snow in Vermont. Winding trail uphill through the woods (decently graded class 4 road in the summertime). Heavy equipment grade tire chains on all four wheels, over 255/85 KM2s. 3rd gear/low range, way too much throttle. It was digging through all of the snow...

Arnie's Mog is up for sale, sounds exactly like what you're looking for! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-Other-UNIMOG-ARNOLD-SCHWARZENEGGER-/371738865695?forcerrptr=true&hash=item568d5cf01f:g:Ua8AAOSwmfhX3Fsk&item=371738865695

Agreed, with such egregious flaws in the product and no updates at all in nearly half a year it might be time to move on!

What exactly are you looking to accomplish by doing this?

2014 Xterra S, bought new, now at 46k miles. I've been through two R180 front diffs (first one the carrier broke, second one the pinion sheared). One C200K rear diff (spider gears broke) Rear driveshaft CV joint I resolved my diff issues by swapping in a M226 rear with an ARB, and M205 front...

I also purchased it and find it largely unusable as is. I have high hopes for the future, but current state is very disappointing. My feedback to Hema, it would build a lot of confidence and potentially keep me from writing this off entirely if some roadmap/development information was shared...

Looking at it, I think this may also work on the 2nd gen Xterra rear driveshaft CV.

Yep except I like the GMC nose a whole lot more :)

Glad someone else is putting the pieces together. This is just the latest chapter in the Rovertrader story. I hope others are paying attention.
