The wheel hooks are great for lifting a corner of the vehicle to either add or remove something from underneath the vehicle. Depending on the suspension travel, it makes a heck of a lot more sense than lifting from the body. I've used it a few times to add rocks under a buddy's tire so that...

I ran E-rated Duratracs in 315 on my JKU for a couple years and they didn't ride harsher than my stock tires before them. IRRC, I ran them around 28-32#s. I would still be running E-rated Duratracs if I didn't go to a larger tire.

I leave my ARB running in the Jeep 24/7/365. It is my daily driver and weekend fun vehicle so no worries about the battery draining on me. After the first year, I did put in a dual battery and solar for when I'm basecamping and parked for a couple days though. If you intend on turning it on...

If I were to buy another it would be a ruggedized version. My standard-spec Autana is great but having climbed around one of the ruggedized versions last summer I appreciated the heavier fabric and subtle additions. I've camped in all four seasons with it and haven't found anything my...

I'd post this in the Jeep section, you should get a better response there.

Will do, it did seem a little loose in the joints.

With title it would be worth it. Without, walk away. In short, you are getting a $150 frame that will, at the bare minimum, need to be refurbished. I am also not buying that it was an old Army trailer. It looks like someone raided a junkyard and cobbled together something that resembles a...

Woohoo! Mine arrived yesterday. It looked like the FedEx wasn't pleased about its size and took out some frustrations on it but the carry bag was still in good shape. The extension itself is a very cool piece of kit I can't wait to put to use. Out of sheer curiosity I tried a few different...

I mounted an ARB socket holder with a Blue Sea 12V plug insert on my hood cowl so that I have some flexibility of what 12V accessory to connect. I sometimes attach an articulating spotlight (pictured below) when on the trail and the awning while in camp. It is also nice having a 12V outlet...

I enjoy winter camping with my Tepui Autana w/ annex. The even have a weather hood for them now which may be just what you're needing. The "hoops" supporting the tent fabric are fairly stout and have never given me pause. The enclosed entry is a HUGE bonus in the rain, ice, and snow and one...

The RTT power would work great with the 12V outlet I have on the cowl for my removable spotlight. I hated having to needlessly keep my window open during the cold and wet months.

Any updates? I'm running the Whipsaw Trail in two weeks (8/11-8/14) and would love to have this in time.

Are you referring to the two halves of the floor? If so, sometimes the "top" half bows slightly and does not properly seat in the "bottom" half channel. It doesn't happen every time but it is something to be mindful of. Just lift the top portion up slightly and apply a little pressure on the...

For what its worth, Tepui, CVT, and ARB are fairly comparable as far as the tent itself goes. For personal support and replacement parts availability you can't go wrong with Tepui or CVT. ARB and Smittybilt are going to be more "corporate" in their support model; it will not be a direct or...

I'd be wary of using dry ice in a container that isn't sealed... your trip and life might be over sooner than you planned in an enclosed vehicle.

You could stake it down using spiral stakes like the ones below. They're about $10/pc at Hone Depot and the likes. They can be a pain in the rear, but when you NEED them you'll find a way. I keep four of them in my camp setup box.

It looks equivalent to a Tepui Kukenam.

Remember, outside of our little Overlanding world this is a very niche market. A Kickstarter campaign allows the market to dictate if demand is big enough to justify the risk. It is a smart move for a smaller company wanting to outwardly show it is listening to its customers' wishes without...

I ran 315 Duratracs with a 2.5 lift and 3.21's on my '12 auto for three years with no issues. You are not going to win any drag races, but it is certainly liveable. You'll want to trim your fenders though. I strongly advise you to drive it around for a while with the 3.73 gearing and 35s...
