I ran my ARB50 to the 12v in the center console on my 2015 JKUR, but will be wiring in the ARB wiring ASAP. I haven't had problems yet, but did get a jump pack as a backup in case I ran it low (yes the ARB does have the built-in cut off)

Wrong size for me, but I have many pairs of 5.11 Tac-Lite Pro pants and shorts - great clothing. Rugged and well-performing. GLWS

Thanks for the warning... sorry to hear about your trouble. Like it was said, there are a few other fabrication and trailer companies that suffer the same fate - often the pattern is great idea or talent follows overwhelming demand and some challenges managing a business and satisfying...

mil surplus aluminum container? Often have weather seals in them

Aluminum boxes? Look into mil surplus? That sounds like a rocket or medical equipment shipping case size (roughly). You may be able to get something fabricated or DIY build out of aluminum plate, too. I always liked this setup...

Can you DL the google maps in advance so it doesn't need a persistent internet connection? I preload the google maps in my area of travel in advance. (I also will use any of BCNpro, Locus Map Pro, Roadtripper, and iOverlander and have a Garmin with lots of topo maps pre-installed)

Don't try to salvage the cap

You can get single person kits at REI and just outfit the number needed... some even come in a swish bag GSI infinity 4-person set also has single items available - only thing missing is the cup, which I think is an odd shape anyway...

Might want to consider this sub forum, too http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/48-Power-Systems-12v-Solar-Gen lots of information on this topic. Microwave? I'm not sure I've heard that request before... the rest can be done with a small bank of batteries wired into a distribution...

Another endorsement of AMK - I, too, supplement - you need stuff based on your planned activity as well as the skill level of your party. Some medical items can be harmful if improperly used, and you simply cannot plan for every contingency. If you haven't already, get some formal training like...

Herbie nailed it - also consider that shipping containers are designed around the logistics involved in hauling goods and materials on OTR trucks and loading/unloading on ships and trains... - not really the same requirements for a overlanding shelter. Additionally, you'll need a semi rig with...

I have a lodge cast iron and camp chef steel griddle for my coleman 2-burner and camp chef everest respectively. The cast is HEAVY but heats well, the steel griddle works nicely on the everest because it's sized for it by design, but does get hot spots if the burners are too high. Just my $.02

You could probably get by with a decent strap, but they do degrade when out in the weather for a while - a fixed bracket/mount like the one you listed would be ideal long-term. I kept a spare in my bed with crossed ratchet straps, but they were under a tonneau, and out of the sun and rain.

XJ for technical simplicity and availability of platform support for both off-road/overland community and aftermarket parts availability.

1) Tuf Cloth is a great rust preventative as well as the others mentioned. I like mineral oil, personally. 2) I have the Spyderco Sharpmaker, but there are some other really great tools if you don't want to free-hand sharpen. A strop is a great way to remove a wire edge or keep the edge touched...

I got my M100 with a tailgate already fabbed into it. It's a bit unrefined, but serves the purpose well. The latches are on the inside which is a plus and minus at the same time, as I plan to build a locking lid. I do have some options to make a simple outside latch and just button it up when...

It's never a bad idea to have a dedicated cooler, unless you don't have room for it... They leave it out because they don't expect much towing and it saves $ in assembly costs at the factory.

I suggest you put it in a frame and affix the frame to the wall or sandwich it with a frame "ring" around the window opening. This will give it support around the area where the lexan is actually mounted... or get an RV window fitted.

It's clever - not sure it will improve departure angle a lot, but looks good.
