When I bought my Gobi stealth rack, the main basket was bent pretty badly by a forklift before delivery. They sent me another, so now I have the main piece sitting around. I was always planning to chop it up to make another basket for a trailer or something. Now I’m cleaning up. If you want...

I have a 2.0 Liter Diesel from my 1961 88” rover. It is in extremely bad shape, head has been off and barn/weather stored for at least 30 years. If anyone wants it for parts, I think most of the injection system and whatnot is there. Really cheap, make offer, you haul. Fresno CA. Other...

Hey all, Long story short, I needed a really cheap SUV to send to family back east. I found a 99 suburban 5.7 for $500 with a blown head gasket but otherwise looking recoverable. The 5.7 Vortec was overheated when a hose broke, causing the engine overheat and blown gasket. Oil is pure...

The sewing thread reminded me of a question / challenge I’ve run into recently. I purchased a roll of 1” strap from Amazon or Strapworks, can’t recall which as it was almost a year ago. I planned to make some custom adjustable straps to add to my rooftop tent and some gear securement I was...

Has anyone done a brake job on their WK2 and happen to have a picture of the rear backing plate with the parking shoes and rotor removed? My Google **** is failing me today.

Hey all, Has anyone ever disassembled a Tepui telescoping ladder? I’m having constant issues with the one on my Kukenam and I’m pretty sure that something is either sticking or broken inside the mechanism. Details: I’ve had 3 different Tepui tents, and this is the first one I’ve bought...

Hmmm... so we made it to Moab for the grand family vacation and... Smelled oil burning. At first I thought it was other kids cars, until I hosed off all the road salt, grime, slush, and discovered oil all over the transmission and exhaust crossover. I also have oil in the engine valley under...

After several attempts, I've decided to buy versus build my rear bumper and tire carrier. Before dropping a couple of mortgage payments, I would like to see these both in person. If you have the LOD or Shrockworks rear JK tire carrier, I would like to see it in person. I'd be happy to bring...

So I recently picked up a new-to-me Kukenam Sky model. I love it. Living in an area where rain events are often 9 months apart, I'm looking for a way to stow the fly until risk of rain seems likely. I started out with the idea of velcro mounting the poles to the underside of the tent along...

SOLD! Thank you sir and good luck with your adventure! I ended up buying 2 pairs of slides when making the cargo platform for the back of my JK. One pair locked and one didn't. So I'm left with the opposites. The non locker is an Accuride 9301-30. The locker is an Accuride 9308-30, Right...

THANK YOU to everyone that showed interest!! Selling my Tepui Ayer, blue color, about 3 years old. Maybe 75 nights used (wish it was more). Sleeping area is 48 x 84. At 6' tall, I find the tent very comfortable and share it with my 2 kids without too much trouble. I've added 2 LED light...

So, I'm feeling pretty much underwhelmed by the various propane camp stoves that I've seen and touched lately. They all seem flimsy and far too deep for what they do. Has anyone ever built their own stove? I know there are more than a few people on here with basic engineering, welding, and...

Hey all, I recently went on a mission to build a suitable chuck box / camp kitchen to fit in the back of my JKU. It was a fun journey, and I learned a lot. Some of it might even be worth sharing. It is possible that the purpose of my life is to serve as warning to others... and perhaps even...

Hey All, I've never owned a sewing machine. Recently, I've wanted to take on a few projects that really required fabric work to make life happier. I'm looking at things like canvas work, straps and buckles, etc... I like to build with a lot of other materials, so I could see myself getting...

Hey all, Does anyone have a Tupike stove? I'm sort of floating around a world of unhappy with my backpacking cook set, and interested in upgrading to better stuff for the jeep. I don't really need to worry about weight, or cost, but I definitely don't want something permanently built in to...

So, it all began several years ago, when my neighbor took his 2006 Chrysler 300 to a local dealership with a mysterious stalling problem. At the time, I was rolling in a 2006 Charger, and I had the not-at-all mysterious "don't fill the gas tank or it stalls" problem. After replacing his tank...

So I'm trying to find a fridge for my wife's car as a Christmas gift. It needs to be as small and light as possible but still hold at least 2 one gallon milk jugs. all I have is an ARB 50, and that is far too big. I think the 35 is too big as well. Does anyone have a suggestion based on...

So I finally got around to adding some circuits for lights and other fun stuff to the Back of my jeep. A bank of switches from the guys at OTTRATTW (or whatever that collection of letters is) was joined by their handy terminal blocks and Packard 630 terminal ends. Then I realized that none of...

Hmmm.... A recent disagreement between my rooftop tent and the concrete beams of a parking garage in LA has me seeking the collective wisdom of the interwebs. :Wow1: After extensive inspection and re-assembly this weekend, it appears that I've escaped from near tragedy. With only 6-8 small...

Hi Expo- selling a single band 2 meter Icom IC 2100H with a MaxRad antenna. Havent used it in a few years, and don't have a coax to hook it up, so there is some faith that it will transmit and receive involved here. Best results would be you pick it up and we install and test it here. i...
