    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    Serial lurker here. Haven’t owned a Jeep since I sold my ‘93 YJ, and I’ve always had serious LR envy since watching Daktari. What have I missed most during this Age of COVID? Reading/buying LRO, LRM, and Classic Land Rover magazines at our local B&N. Guess I should just shell out for overseas...

    Is it true about ARB?

    “There's an Italian maker, has Truckfridge other brands” That would be Indel-B.

    Arkpak Buck Boost converter questions

    Something‘s going on with your ArkPak. I have the 730 being charged on AC in my garage with a Dometic 75DZ plugged in, both empty compartments set to freeze 0* & 4*, very inefficient setup on my part. Battery stays topped off with charge & float cycles, rarely dipping below 100% even with hot...

    Ram 1500 bed/battery setup ?'s

    To your question, I have an ArkPak 730 with a 105ah SLA battery inside. It’s charged directly from the alternator, basic battery separator, via 8ga wire terminated at a camper plug in the bedside, specifically a Lance Camper plug that is a bit different from the typical plugs. I also have solar...

    Looking for a comparison of 270 awnings

    Check out photobug’s ”New 270 Awning available“ thread. I’ve got the RR Batwing 270, driver side model. My remarks are somewhere on here under a review of this awning.

    Watches - ExPo Style

    I’m way too tough on watches to wear an expensive model. I used to sport Casios but I’ve worn Timex Expeditions in various forms over the last decade or so. Basic functions which work well for me. Yup, they keep on tickin‘.

    Leer 122 truck cap

    I have a 122 with the carpet installed by Leer. SP13 gives generally good advice but based on my experience, don’t expect much from the factory or dealer. I had them delete the rear “opera” windows (or whatever they're called) and the carpet in that location, both sides, has always sagged away...

    My bad...thought this was an after shot with wheel/tire already mounted. ?‍♂️

    GMT800 2500 - Wide tires & broken pitman arm

    Those 255s look good, but is it the camera angle or are they already rubbing on the front bumper valance/air dam? I’ve read that others have trimmed off a triangular section due to rubbing while at full lock/compression. Great choice in tires, good luck with them!

    It's Friday, let's talk cocktails.

    Another vote for the G/T...with lemon, not lime. I prefer a rather pedestrian London Dry: Gordon’s. But there are some very interesting craft tonics out there these days.

    Experience with black AT Overland Atlas or Summit

    Color absolutely has an effect on inside temps. The white topper on my Dodge was much cooler than the dark blue one on my current Chevy. Somewhere here there was discussion about the location of the color. IIRC, the most benefit was with a white roof, the sides were negligible. You might try a...

    Simple awning.

    Just be sure to stake it down or a big sneeze will turn it into origami. Exaggerating...but do it. They're not designed to be freestanding.

    You'll probably be OK with 35 psi depending on how you "load" them up meaning speed during turns, the composition of the material you're driving on, etc. I'd be careful below 20 psi where you would typically be running them in sand.

    ARB awning to Thule loadbars

    I used simple “L” brackets, don’t remember the size. The holes lined up perfectly, measure from the center of each each mounting groove and then match it up with the bracket at your favorite home center/hardware store.

    GMT800 2500 - Wide tires & broken pitman arm

    Plenty of stories about 285/75-16s rolling off the stock rims when pressures are lowered. I went one size up from the stock 245s to 265s and am "happy" with them, but also considering the 255s when it comes time to change them out. On my last rig, I went with 285s and aftermarket rims but was...
