When moving from the WK to the Renegade I couldn’t find room to carry my waffle boards internally, without cutting them down significantly, which would make them potentially less useful, so the only option really was to mount them on the roof. I could have taken the easy option and bought some...

When I bought the Jeep there were a few small nicks and scratches going down to the white primer. I just touched these in with some base coat at the time but since it was going to be in under cover in the garage for a few more weeks it was an opportunity to flat them down, apply some lacquer and...

Continuing with the service items and other mucky jobs... Fresh oil. I went for Shell Helix as it was on offer. Being a modern vehicle you need a computer even to change the oil! More specifically to reset the oil change and quality counters. The 4th service requires that the brake fluid is...

Well, after sorting out my storage crates ready for a trip our city and my suburb were the first two areas of the UK to be put back into lockdown, so I have been grounded for the last few weeks again. But due to increased testing and a reducing infection rate we've been set free this weekend (at...

Today I spent some time on a little fabrication project to make the most of the folding plastic crates I use as my ’storage solution’. I like these crates as they are very space efficient, lightweight, cheap, and can be collapsed or opened as required. I carry two permanently; one for general...

I went out to the local market town today to have a walk around and get some maps and travel books from the book shop there, now that the lockdown has been eased somewhat (big trip planning ahead!) Although it’s been raining heavily here on and off for a couple of days, the sun has been out all...

With the announcement that we're now allowed a bit more freedom to visit the countryside, I ventured out in the Jeep on the local lanes this afternoon. I only went few miles but it was great just to spend a few relaxing hours in the out in the sunshine with the camera...

I'm not sure without weighing it all. I've tried to keep it as light as possible though with most of the weight coming from the actual kit rather than the build itself. The runners are probably the biggest individual contributor though. I’ll weigh it at some point. Thanks borison, I’m still...

Nearly finished but the quality inspector is casting a critical eye...

:) I've always used proper cutlery, much more civilised - I do draw the line at silver candelabra's and cut-glass decanters though!

I'm not sure if all Domestics have the sockets oriented in the same direction, but my CDF 16 has it this way: With the plug the same as the first picture with the slot indexed in the direction of the lead:

I've just added a response to your question on the CDF 16 I'm using in my Regegade here: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/just-downsized-to-a-renegade-build-and-trips.207115/page-7#post-2776608 One thing also to consider is running a proper supply from the battery, rather than...

Thanks both, I really was to get out and use it - maybe I'll have to go for a 'staycation' in the drive :) It' a CDF 16, so pretty small compared to the units most people on here use, but I don't think you would want to anything much bigger in the Renegade unless you don't want to run rear...

I can’t say cooking smells have ever been a problem either on the WK or the Renegade, so not something I’ve been concerned with so far, When loaded up the parcel shelf has crates on it that pretty much block the interior off anyway. I got the new draw pretty much finished this weekend. It was...

Thanks both, and good luck with your build Renegade Camping. With the current lockdown its tricky to get materials but whilst tidying up the shed I found a sheet of 12mm ply left with some other offcuts. After a quick measure up there seemed to be enough to build version two of the drawer...
