    2015 GMC Canyon

    I looked at the several options N-Fab has for bed-mounting the spare. As much as I don't like it hanging so low under the vehicle, I think I'm going to have to live with it. Space is at a premium in the short bed and my 63-qt ARB lives there 365/24/7. I've been considering having a rack built...

    2015 GMC Canyon

    It looks like you mounted your SwingCases a couple of inches higher than I did. I think I would have mounted them higher if I didn't have the tonneau cover on. Hopefully, Snugtop will have a shell for the short bed in the next month or two. The N-Fab sliders should be here in a week or so and...

    2015 GMC Canyon

    The All-Terrain package adds different shocks, wheels, hill descent control, and a transfer case shield. There is no difference in the bed, body or stance. I considered that package but could not get it with anything other than black seats. I drove both the All-Terrain and an SLT before...

    2015 GMC Canyon

    Android Auto will be available as a dealer-installed update in March...so hopefully many Android apps will transfer to the vehicle screen after the update. Mine came with Apple Carplay...but I don't do any iStuff. As for GPS mounting, I just ordered RAM Mount's new Seat Tough-Wedge with an...

    2015 GMC Canyon

    I'm surprised I didn't see this thread before today. I just traded my highly-modified '13 Rubicon in on a 2016 Canyon Crewcab SLT. I ordered the Canyon in early August and took delivery Oct. 14. So far, I'm VERY happy with it. I got tired of the noisy, rough-riding Rubicon. Maybe it's an...

    Does anyone know about ARK Portable battery boxes and where to buy them

    Try Northern Arizona Wind and Sun. I've bought several Sun Xtender batteries from them for solar setups in my small guest house and in my observatory. I totally forgot about them until I had already ordered an Odyssey battery for my 730. I may switch it out with a Sun Xtender battery. I had...

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    I received my 730 a few days ago. I will not use it in a dual battery setup for the vehicle, but this is a quote from the manual: "The ArkPak can be used in a dual battery setup. The best method to do this is to connect the ArkPak to a dual battery wiring loom (not supplied) using either the...

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    The 730 is finally starting to ship. I got a UPS tracking number yesterday. It is scheduled for delivery on the 15th.

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    I'm waiting for my pre-ordered 730 to ship. Once I receive it, I will take exact measurements. If the interior length is slightly over 330mm, I will immediately order the Starkpower battery.

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    So does that mean the interior is actually 332mm long?

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    Brett... My plan is to order the 80Ah LiFePO4 battery from Starkpower to run my ARB 63-quart fridge.. They list the size of their 80/100/125Ah batteries as 172x330x228mm. Have you tried them in the AP730? The length seems like it might be a tight fit since the internal length of the 730 is...

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    According to the website, the 730 comes with a DC-DC charger and a mounting bracket.

    Ark Pak - Questions and Queries

    According to the Arkpak home page, it will recharge on 110V...but the Arkpak730 pre-order page states charging from "240V Mains power." Pre-ordering is now available. I just pre-ordered the 730 for use with the 80Ah Starkpower LiFePO battery. I assume it can be charged from 110V...at least I...

    Mounting the fridge right behind the front seat with access from the rear doors?

    My 63-qt ARB is mounted behind the passenger seat in the JKUR. I took out the back seat and had a flat floor built with storage underneath. The ARB fits perfectly between the front seat and the Tuffy deck. Velcro strips on the lid and on the speaker bar hold it open when necessary for...

    50 degree ambient drop?

    My ARB lives in the Jeep year-round and has no problem maintaining below-freezing temps (around 20F) when it's over 100 degrees outside and significantly hotter in an enclosed Jeep. I run dual Odyssey batteries.

    Drone photography?

    I flew collective-pitch RC helis for quite a few years and switched to quads when the first DJI Phantoms came out. The ground-breaking (no pun intended) Phantom is, by far, the most popular. I've owned every version of the DJI Phantom. The Phantom 3 Pro is head and shoulders above previous...

    New ArkPak?

    Any updates on when the AP730 will be available in the U.S.? I will need one for a new vehicle around Sept./Oct.

    Dronestagram -Some interesting aerial photos taken by drones

    I've been flying RC dual-rotor collective pitch helis for 10 years and recently switched to quads...now have 3 of the DJI Phantom series including their newest Phantom 3 Pro. DJI is currently the market leader and you can get into a good one (camera included) for under $1000. There are several...

    Mid to upper end handheld GPS?

    and all anyone needs to get around is a Moped. I've used virtually every GPS Garmin has come out with in the past 25 years, and my vote for a mid to upper end handheld also goes to Garmin's Montana 600.

    Truck-Lite vs. J.W Speaker LED Headlights

    I see you edited the video to show that it is Evo1. The version I watched did not say that...nor did it have the lights down in the lower left corner. So is the beam pattern on the J version different? Or did they just add the halos? Personally, I think I prefer the lights without halos.
