    pop - top insulation

    how practical is it to fit insulative panels to the pop - top sections of a, well, pop - up style camper? either flexible or rigid panels? at what point does the cold or, maybe more frequently, wind, require the unit to be dropped and life goes "underground"? thanks

    good move. every edge of wood benefits from sealing. you'll never notice the benefit if you do it, but will certainly lament if you don't.

    Sources for hardware

    I think the correct answer is: all of the above. we all want a single go-to, but even the favorite place will be out of one item on your list, and you will then need alternate plan B. once you find the specific item you want, perform a dedicated search for it and I think you'll be surprised at...

    Jeep's Rollover Protection

    most (albeit few) jeeps I've seen have a pretty elaborate (read: jungle-gym) roll cage from the factory. when almost any modification gets done to the interior, how are all the bars handled? built around/ cut through? this is just thought fodder now, but will become seriously relevant in 12...
