    Night-Vision Lights Project

    The Duplicolor Metalcast spray paint really does work well. I've tinted HIDs with it and they get plenty hot. The Rosco gels are legendary in lighting. You guys do know I'm a lighting geek, right?

    Night-Vision Lights Project

    Nothing other than signaling. Bear in mind that it's illegal to run a green light on the road. Or run a forward-facing red light on the road. I put very low lumen red LED lights in the hatch of my teardrop for when we're sitting around enjoying the fire. It's just enough light to get to the...

    Cheap tricks and solutions - product modifications, DIY, or repurposed items- not on-sale items

    The nice thing about a LiFePo4 battery is that you can run it for its full amperage rating and the voltage stays constant. Charge it back up when convenient, all the way or part of the way, and it doesn't care. If you treat an SLA or AGM like that you'll kill them.

    https://www.amazon.com/Lithium-Battery-LifePo4-charger-Solar-Marine-RV-GolftCart/dp/B01M66AHP0 50 ah, 15 pounds LiFePo4 batteries are neat. As for trying to save money, I usually try to buy quality items, last year's model, on clearance.... Or find employee discounts. And I tend to make my...

    YETI HONDO BASE CAMP CHAIR - $300USD

    For $300 they should give a back massage at least. I still use my pair of Kermits that we bought over 10 years ago to fit into the motorcycle saddlebags. I've broken parts and Kermit sends me the stuff to fix them for free. Funny looking but reliable little chairs.

    Mushroom Encounter while Camping

    We went to a Robert Hunter show in college and he sat down next to me and handed me a bottle of Jack. Right in the middle of the show. So we invited him to the after-party and he came. Long strange trip indeed. He played Alice's Restaurant at the party and we all sang along; I don't remember...

    What do you really NEED for overlanding

    Bob (Tennmogger) had this set-up on his U1300L Unimog with its hydraulic winch. It was purpose built to go backwards. He said it was a PITA to actually run the line underneath but, when necessary, it worked well. Better than this: Bruce Elfstrom explained the 3 pulley reverse winch method...

    The best adventure travel boots.

    Yeah, I had Hermans in middle school and they were great for camping and hiking. They were like Danners back in the day. Now they're plastic-fantastic Asian crud. Shame.

    Night-Vision Lights Project

    Neat. You could also spray this over a cheap LED and declare victory. https://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-EMC200007-Metal-Anodized-Color/dp/B000994BUM Duplicolor Metalcast Yellow has been my go-to for years for creating selective yellow foglight tint after reading Dan Stern's write-up...

    Good decision on the Ark wheel for the tongue. I love that thing. It's a work of art, Wayne. Scott is the da Vinci of SEES.

    JK production comes to a close

    Any idea if FCA will address the issue of tall people not being able to fit in a JL? http://www.wranglerforum.com/f714/tall-jeep-owners-2217705.html I wish more people would talk about it. I really wanted a diesel JL but not if I'll have to remove the rollbar to drive it...
