    Anyone using both lead acid and lithium (battle born) through d250s b2b charger?

    I'm pretty set on the CTEK d250s and maybe a Smartness to charge the lithium battery faster. I would like to keep my factory starting battery and add a battle born lithium house battery. Battle Born says the d250s is perfect for their lithium and built in BMS. Anyone see any issues combining...

    CTEK D250s, when is the smartpass really needed?

    I'm planning my 12v build out in my 4R. I plan on utilizing a D250s, dual batteries under the hood, 1 100w solar panel mounted full time to the roof rack and a CTEK shore charger. This fall I hope to tie the system into a Conqueror 490 extreme trailer using a rear Anderson plug. I'm using the...

    Can an ARB fridge stay plugged into 12v while running on 110v?

    If I have my ARB hard wired to a 12v fuse block and I also plug it into 110V at the same time will it hurt anything? Do I need to unplug the 12v cord?

    Painting seat backs and seat bottoms with bedliner, anyone done it?

    My GSD rides in the flipped forward back seat area of my 5th gen 4R. I've made a great and stable platform for her and found a nice fitting mat. Only thing left is to cover the seat backs and bottoms to keep her hair from getting stuck. I've had canvas back liners in my JKU, they were ok, I'm...

    5th Gen 4Runner drawer build thread

    It's not completely finished, but I wanted to post up my drawer build for my 5th gen 4R. Initially I was going to do a whole pull out kitchen, spent a ton of time designing it only to realize I just need to build a teardrop trailer so that's now in the planning stages. I settled on a casing made...

    KS/MO: Jeep JKU GOBI, RTT & Awning

    1st. The only reason I'm selling is we moved here from San Diego and our new garage isn't tall enough for the rack to clear. I love this set up, I'm sure it'll bring you lots of good times. 2nd. I won't sell the rack without the tent and awning unless they sell first ($1200 for the tent and...

    First Trailer Build - Design Phase

    I've begun thinking of how I would like to build my soft road trailer. I'm hoping to keep the foot print small while still providing a comfortable size. To accomplish this I have built my trailer around a pop up and a slide out. The trailer requirements are: Towable behind JKU Full size bed...

    Guys with a family of 3 and a big GSD space is limited in my Jeep. We've got a nice trip coming up and I need to start planning how to pack my wives clothes. We'll be gone for 6-9 days total.

    Show me your custom fridge slides

    I have a very limited amount of space in the back of my JKU. It's currently equipped with a custom drawer system, frontrunner water tank and a Smittybilt Arctic fridge. None of the pre-made fridge slides I've found fit my limited space (~24") front to back, leaving me with the option of building...

    Looking at a 2003 Lexus LX470 thoughts??

    I've been looking for a new daily driver for my wife. We've got our first child coming and when you factor in our German shepherd she needs something larger than her Hyundai Elantra. I'm going back to school soon so I'm trying to keep her next ride under $20k. After looking at land cruisers I...

    Mounting Pelican Case to Hard top??

    I really like the Grenadeacorp Sub Roof Concealed Locking Storage system, but I'm hesitant to send the $$ on it. Plus while it has to be removed with the hard top off, it doesn't come off with the hard top. Got me thinking about mounting a pelican case to the underside of the hard top. The...

    Genesis Duel Battery, Duel Odyssey Batteries and a NOCO Genius onboard charger.

    I posted this question a couple of days ago and then deleted it because I felt I may have jumped the gun before reading old threads to find the answer. I've read as much as I can find on this topic and I still am no further on deciding what to do so I feel comfortable asking it again. I am...

    Smittybilt Arctic 52qt Fridge, anyone have one?

    Looking for a fridge, very limited on space due to my Frontrunner water tank and storage box (I have 23.5" in depth). The Smittybilt Arctic has a small enough footprint for my space. Plus it seems to offer a lot for the money. Anyone have one of these? Here's the info I can find on it. 52...

    Sleeping & storage platform design, looking for ideas and inputs

    I've been using a nice cargo box I built in the back of my JKU for about a year now, it has served its purpose, but my needs are evolving. I'm about to install a FrontRunner vertical water tank in preparation for loosing my factory bumper which now acts as my tank. I have to have onboard...
