    CTEK D250s, when is the smartpass really needed?

    I'm planning my 12v build out in my 4R. I plan on utilizing a D250s, dual batteries under the hood, 1 100w solar panel mounted full time to the roof rack and a CTEK shore charger. This fall I hope to tie the system into a Conqueror 490 extreme trailer using a rear Anderson plug. I'm using the...

    Expedition Trailer "must have" and "wish list" items

    I spent a few weeks in the southwest last year in late June during the "heat wave" and now I want electricity because I want an AC unit, either shore power or gen set. It's no fun sleeping in 100+*, not just for me but my spoiled GSD really had a tuff time. Princess...

    Off Grid Expedition build almost done

    Thanks, I'm bouncing between several designs SoCal, Conqueror and the possibility of one of these. An AT habitat on one of these trailers would be pretty awesome!

    Off Grid Expedition build almost done

    How big is the roof? The AT overland tent would be perfect. It would give you standing room in the trailer and a large bed too. Closed dimensions are: -8″ tall without roof Bars -54.5″ Wide at base, 53″ Wide at top -93″ Long at base...

    Off Grid Expedition build almost done

    I like this build too! You do some great work. A 6lb worthington aluminum propane tank would fit perfectly behind the sink/stove box. What would it take to put a raisable roof on one of these, similar to a Sportsmobile, when raised a second queen or full mattress becomes accessible from the...

    New Off Grid Pando build starting

    I'm really liking this trailer, but still not clear about the interior cabinetry. Are these interior cabinets or just the back side of the galley cabinets??

    New Off Grid Pando build starting

    Looks really nice! What about the interior, is the photo showing interior cabinetry or the back side of the galley cabinetry. I'm assuming interior cabinetry, but it's hard to tell. Thanks for sending the price list, looks great. How do you keep water in the tank for freezing?

    New Off Grid Pando build starting

    Looks great, just sent an email requesting a USD build sheet. Is the bottom photo just the backside of the galley cabinetry or is it interior cabinetry without handles installed? Does the galley pictured have the pull out sink and stove? can you post a photo with it all pulled out? What are your...

    Decisions on a 12v fridge

    I had a smitty ARTEC, failed in <6 months. 4wheel parts replaced it and then I sold the new unit. My understanding is it was made by Indel B. I have an ARB 50 now, but haven't had it long enough to eval it.

    Small solar panel installed

    I like your idea, I've been kicking around how to do a similar install under a rack like a frontrunner slimline II (high enough). I'd like it to come out over the front window/hood so if parked passerbiers will be less apt to screw with it. Bonus points if I can figure out how to automate it so...

    Can an ARB fridge stay plugged into 12v while running on 110v?

    That is exactly what I want to do. I had a NOCO genius mini in my JKU, but I'm thinking about a CTEK unit in my new 4R. I want something that can be mounted and plugged in along with shore power. I'm thinking something like their 25000 or M300, but still need to do more research. Next...

    Can an ARB fridge stay plugged into 12v while running on 110v?

    If I have my ARB hard wired to a 12v fuse block and I also plug it into 110V at the same time will it hurt anything? Do I need to unplug the 12v cord?

    Painting seat backs and seat bottoms with bedliner, anyone done it?

    So I decided it give the seat bottoms a shot. My plan was to burn of the flocking, sand, then bedline. However, after hitting it with a propane torch, i'm satisfied. We'll see how well it holds up but it quickly turned into a perfect texture. Took about 5 minutes per piece. Because of the dog...

    Painting seat backs and seat bottoms with bedliner, anyone done it?

    Flexible? The seat backs and bottoms are plastic coved with carpet, they don't flex. To be clear I'm not talking about the part you sit on, I'm talking about the seat back that is continuous with the cargo area and the set bottom of the back seats that is exposed when the seats are rolled...

    Painting seat backs and seat bottoms with bedliner, anyone done it?

    I've never used it but it wouldn't be any different than people who paint their jeep floor with bedliner. I assumed the smell would go away after it cured.

    Painting seat backs and seat bottoms with bedliner, anyone done it?

    My GSD rides in the flipped forward back seat area of my 5th gen 4R. I've made a great and stable platform for her and found a nice fitting mat. Only thing left is to cover the seat backs and bottoms to keep her hair from getting stuck. I've had canvas back liners in my JKU, they were ok, I'm...
