    Ways to Keep Warm in Your RTT

    Both of these sound a tad counterintuitive but they work (assuming you have an appropriate sleep system)- Sleep as naked as you're comfortable with and ensure your tent has a vent slightly open. Condensation from respiration and perspiration will conspire against you in staying warm. You may...

    Mini Restore (deferred maintenance) and new toys for my 05 G500 Grand Edition

    Looking good! Dumb question from a relatively new owner... where can you actually use the Hi-lift on a G? I've always had one on my past trucks, but sold mine with my last one and haven't replaced it to go with my G. Are there lifting points outboard enough I haven't found yet?

    Airtop 360 on a Frontrunner Slimline II Issues

    Why bother with the full slimline rack if you're using its entire footprint for a RTT? If adding an additional spacer to raise it up doesn't work you may be better served either selling the rack and buying crossbars or taking it apart and just using the feet and four slats. They do sell the...

    G Wagon - Doors and Windshield

    From the one behind it? I think its hit or miss and all about timing if they are available. Check clubgwagen.com and ask up there, you will have much better luck.

    Sleeping bag or duvet?

    You're car camping... er Overlanding... use whatever is most comfortable for you that you have room for. Keep the overly specialized compromise driven camping gear for Boy Scouts and backpacking. Nothing ruins a good trip like a sh!tty nights sleep.

    Awning height? 270 awning on mid height bed rack

    I'd ditch the idea of a permanently mounted awning and go the DIY route. Put two eye bolts on the rack at the highest point, grab two or more extendable poles and guy lines for each pole. Pick whatever awning fabric suits you, be it regular tarp or have something sewn up (still infinitely...

    2019 G550 Overland Build - Completed w/ Pics

    If you haven't had the spare adapter machined yet, I'd suggest having it made oblong with the two bolt circles offset enough to raise the wheel the necessary amount for the camera door to properly function (jealous... it is a PITA to align my hitch when I can't see it with the older high mount...

    Mini Restore (deferred maintenance) and new toys for my 05 G500 Grand Edition

    Nice! What's your impression of the resonator delete? Does it noticeably improve the sound at all or just improve clearance?

    Thoughts on a hitch-mounted "roof tent" rack?

    I can appreciate what they were trying accomplish but... They've created the world's most expensive tent cot ?‍♂️ I'd never consider this option because of it being in the perfect position to take a dip in an unexpected water crossing, collect mud/dust and just a general pain in the ****** when...

    My comment was wishful thinking on my part and an attempt at humor... not picking at or challenging your numbers.

    Hmmmm... I'm going to pretend he meant L/100km. 22.4 L/100km = 10.5 mpg

    RTT on Over Cap Ladder Rack ?

    I used a very similar rack on my Bantam trailer to hold my Autana and it held up very well. I would say go for it.

    Gerry the G Wagon Trip Home

    Very cool, it must've been an interesting journey given the different levels of concern and restrictions in place for the viral pandemic; I bet every fuel stop felt uniquely different. What better way to get accustomed to the new ride than to road trip with it right off the boat.

    ExPo: G-Wagen Registry

    @Veera Raghavan After an interesting discussion with my wife last night, we decided to go with the OEM style hitch kit and brake controller harness from G-wagen accessories.

    ExPo: G-Wagen Registry

    I'm thinking of going with the Curt hitch from Amazon and then ordering the wiring harness from G-wagen accessories. I doubt I will ever be towing anywhere near 5k lbs and the 7k VKS hitch is overkill for my needs and an expensive pill to swallow considering the price of the Curt ($200 vs $680...

    Group 27 Batt, a fridge and a JKU

    Two things on the on the Odyssey battery... For 2012+ JKs, you want to by the "R" version that already has the reversed posts (if I ever meet the engineer that decided to do this ?) The JK alternator will never fully recharge it as it requires more amps than it puts out to reach a full state...

    Question about light weight spare on JK

    If you can't afford the proper spare and are confident in the sidewalls of the primary four, why not just remove it entirely? Limp back down or out of wherever you are when or if it happens and call in a tow. Personally, I wouldn't run an A/T spare with M/Ts because the tires will handle/react...

    Rubicon or Sahara

    Unless you're leaving it with stock tires and not planning on true rock crawling, get the Sahara. The only Rubi items you'd have left are a better crawl ratio xfer case, a hood sticker, and a different front diff housing (the only difference between a D30 and the made for Jeep D44 on a...
