A few more vehicle photos... Bubba Rope had this Willys truck in their booth: The rope really is this big, it's not a trick photo... Another Willys: A very clean YJ: Not sure I like the dash though. Not a Jeep, but I'll take one: Definitely not for me: I haven't been...

I also spent a good amount of time in the MORryde booth today, here's another photo of their space showing the Trail Kitchen in the MORryde JLU: I was there for several reasons - first, to discuss some new product ideas I think they should implement. Second, to see what the reaction was to...

I had a great meeting today with Auxbeam. Their display... I wrote in another thread that they recently sent me their new 12-gang switch panel to test and review: In my initial testing there were a number of things I thought they could improve and I sent them a list of those items last...

Some photos from today. Today I'll focus a bit on TJ/LJ Jeeps - there really weren't too many TJ/LJ Jeeps at the show this year, actually I saw more Land Rover Defenders than TJ/LJ's but I haven't seen the whole show yet so maybe there are more to see tomorrow. Big enough tires? This one is...

Overland Outfitters has never asked me for that so I'm guessing they've never had that request from anyone. The way it installs now with existing commercial tailgate tables, it uses the screws that the tailgate table attaches to the tailgate with. But to make it quick install/remove, I would...

It would be easy to adapt the table to bed racks. I designed it to be a "multi-vehicle" table, almost all of the parts are shared between the different versions. So far it's designed to be a tailgate table for JL/JK/TJ/YJ Jeeps with only a change in the mounting method to fit the different...

Tomorrow the SEMA Show opens. I got here today and went over to the convention center to help MORryde set up. Background story: Last year At the show I gave MORryde some suggestions on ways they could improve their booth display. You may know that MORryde is one of the largest RV OEM...

Mike, I agree that's a concern, and that's why I first tested the clear hose which as you can see from the photo takes up very little space. Unfortunately that particular hose is prone to kinking so it won't work in this application. In the photo I posted yesterday, the black hose is much too...

Air up or air down all 4 tires at the same time? This was in the most recent issue of Land Rover Owner: At $300 US, it's seems a bit pricey to me. Coincidentally, I've been experimenting with the same idea, but using much less expensive parts. Mine is just a proof-of-concept prototype...

I've been working on a review for the new Auxbeam 12-circuit (they call it a 12-gang, I like the term 12-circuit better). So far I've done a test in install of the control box in my '06 Pickup and my '13 JKU. The control box, being a 12-circuit, is fairly large so there aren't many places in...

Also in the recent issue of Land Rover Life... I'm sure we've all seen aluminum or steel diamondplate overlays for Jeep fenders, hoods, etc. A UK company is now making them from carbon fiber. Their ad in the same magazine: If I were to put diamondplate on my hood or fender, I'd probably...

Next to go... the roof mold for the JKU Safari Cab hardtop. Brought it home from storage this morning... I'll probably cut it into 3 pieces to make it easier to handle at the solid waste facility.

Featured in both LRM and LRL this month, an idea I haven't seen in the Jeep world - an arched rear tonneau cover. All of the Jeep ones I've seen are flat. This one comes with a frame to provide the arched shape; flat Jeep ones are simpler because they don't need the frame, but this one...

How many electrical devices do you need to control? Auxbeam just sent me their latest switch panel to test - it's got 12 circuits plus a handheld remote control plus an app that can control it from a Smartphone. Switch panel without any labels: Remote: I'll test and review it as soon...

There were more SxS's on the trails than Jeeps and Broncos combined. Especially around Ouray where there are several places that rent them.

Anyone interested in having a Safari Cab hardtop on their LJ? One just turned up on Facebook Marketplace in NJ: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3701348150139413/. At $2900 it's considerably cheaper than Gr8Tops sells them for...

This was in the current issue of Land Rover Life: On my September Colorado Expedition I tested a similar product. It's called a LifeStraw, and I actually bought it for India, where I shouldn't drink any water that's not bottled (or any bottled water that isn't factory sealed - sometimes they...

Received my first issue of the new Land Rover Life magazine yesterday. And also the December issue of Land Rover Monthly came yesterday. There are some interesting ideas in both magazines, I'll post them as soon as I get a chance. The Land Rover Life issue I got is actually their second, my...

It is perfect and it will be hard to give up. My shop is in a basement under the 3- car garage, so it's the same size as the garage and has no posts or beams in the way. It's part of the house HVAC system so the climate is always good. The garage above is always a bit warmer in the winter...

All gone now. The only molds I haven't decided what to do with are the molds for the trailers - the Jeep-tub trailer molds, the military M416 replica trailer molds, and the lid mold for the military trailer. Haven't decided if I'll ever want to mold another trailer or lid or if I should...
