    Light for Vehicle Repairs

    I'd like to get suggestions on a self-supporting light to use while underneath my truck. An LED light which uses batteries that can be replaced is what I'm looking for. The light should have a stand or something that can support it so the light can be aimed. Thanks, Durwin

    Who Has Scheel-Mann seats??

    This summer it looks like I’m driving to either Utah or Washington to have seat brackets made for the seats. It looks like I’ll buy them late this summer.

    External Speaker to Use with a Yaesu-FTM400

    I might use the cutout on the side of the console or mount it at the front. There’s a big opening there.

    External Speaker to Use with a Yaesu-FTM400

    Thank you very much for the links. That's been about the size I've been finding. A passenger will be sitting on the right and that size might bump against them. This console has been a long-term project anyways.

    External Speaker to Use with a Yaesu-FTM400

    Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on what speaker to use with a YaesuFTM400 mounted within a Ram Mount console. I'd like something that is relatively flat and able to mount on the passenger side of the console. I'm looking for something hardwired, not Bluetooth. Here's a picture of the console...

    Function Switches for Center Consoles of Overlanding Vehicles

    Does anyone have suggestions on an external speaker for the Yaesu radio? You can see the main body of the radio inside the console in the photo that i posted. I'd like to flush mount it maybe on the passenger-side of the console. There is a cut out for a cooling fan on the side. Perhaps...

    Function Switches for Center Consoles of Overlanding Vehicles

    This has been a slow project. I had emailed OTRATTW back in November to have custom switches made for the ARB electrical outlet in the bed, another one to cut the dome light from coming on when the door is opened and a few others for a total of five. I wanted the switches to always be on with...

    Quality USB-C Panel Mount?

    I've just emailed Blue Sea again. I'm ready to install that USB-C outlet in my console. A RedArc Dual battery system is going in too. Hopefully they will play together well.

    Document/License/Passport Storage System for International Travel

    Nice ammo can. :) They will love that at the checkpoints. A real conversation starter. Is anyone out there using something that zips up with pockets? Something I can take into Immigration and look organized.

    Document/License/Passport Storage System for International Travel

    Hello, I'm wondering what everyone out there is using to store the needed documents for travel? Perhaps something secure, an item that can be zipped up perhaps when not in use. When I visited Mexico I had a pretty simple folder/storage system, but as my trips get longer I'd like to find...

    Remember the beloved Avalanche? It’s Baaaack (kind of)!

    I understand that GM has to sell EV's, but traditionally they do not support their vehicles as long as Toyota or Jeep. I hope the battery will last a couple of decades, but this early into the technology, that is doubtful Nice looking truck though. I will keep my Avalanche.

    Suburban Poptop vs. Excursion Poptop….

    I'm in California so I know about expensive gas. It's the state government here that causes the cost to be so much. Not the national supply of petroleum. I also own a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 which has the 8.1L engine and a 4L85E transmission. The powertrain has 233,000 miles on it and I...

    WTB: Scheel-Mann Vario F

    I just came across your post. I've researched these seats and they require different seat tracks. Do you have a brand picked out? I'm asking because it seems no one makes tracks for a Suburban/Avalanche made in this century. I'm saving for new Varios.

    ARB compressor in a Zarges case

    I found this thread after typing in Pelican and air compressor. Is there anyone out there who can provide me the dimensions of a case which could store an air compressor like a ViAir and the hose? I think it would be larger than the 1520.

    Flat AGM's

    I have a couple of Odyssey batteries in my Avalanche. I can tell you that they will last longer than a conventional battery, but they do require a special charger.

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Hi, How did you mount the roof rack? I'm looking at Ezi-Awn. Did you mount it using the stock GM railings? I didn't get that option on my Avalanche. My idea is to mount some solar panels using the RedArc system.

    Function Switches for Center Consoles of Overlanding Vehicles

    Here's an update on my switches in case anyone out there is going through the same thing. I bought a 3" plate for the RedArc dual voltage gauge. I think that same panel will hold a couple of Blue Sea USB outlets in both the A and USB-C type. Mounted at the top will be a Garmin Overlander that I...
