    Convert M100 bolt pattern to match my 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon

    I wouldn't buy a new hub without pulling the old one and getting the measurements & spline counts - otherwise you're just making an assumption. I found this out the hard way with hub bearings and seals from a crossover list I found online. You can get new hubs or a spacer adapter for the bolt...

    Durango as Expedition Vehicles.....?

    I'm all for "run what you brung" but do be careful - those models have a bit of a reputation for sub-par reliability and build quality (Diamler was not kind to Dodge or Jeep). Find the Achilles heels and upgrade them where you can.

    JKU gear organization- magic combo of bins to go next to the ARB 50qt fridge?

    I forgot to mention, since I started hauling my camp kitchen in a DOSKO, I found it fits perfectly next to the ARB when I'm not carrying my action packers.

    Anyone try the Northern Tool 40x48 aluminum trailer for a build?

    Looks good - put/build a box on it and call it a day! It's light duty, obviously, but if you just need to haul some camping gear occasionally it should serve you just fine. You could look to dinoot for a tub/camper box or just add decking and bolt some locking storage boxes to it.

    JKU gear organization- magic combo of bins to go next to the ARB 50qt fridge?

    x2 with the action packers... That's my setup too. I don't have the SWAG mounting, but it looks like some good kit. I keep my fridge top clear so we can get to it (no shelves above it, etc.), and also have it on the latch side of the rear storage area in case I can't open my tailgate all the way...

    3rd Gen 4Runner to JKUR

    I've had several jeep wranglers and they do continuously improve. While not coming from a 4r to a JKUR, I came from an Xterra to a (another) JKUR and it was fine. If you don't plan to go offroad much or remove the top, you really aren't capitalizing on the strengths of the platform... that...

    Spare Tire Size??

    Depends on the vehicle, but usually OK off-road, on-road may be OK, may cause some problems. Some vehicles have slip sensors that may think the rotational difference is wheel slip if straight line, or something. Best bet is to get a same-size spare, though.

    Picked up a Bantam BT3-C trailer. <<UPDATE 2017>>

    I did my M100 with POR15 on the undercarriage and tongue and herculiner inside the tub. Regular rattle-can primer and paint on the outside tub. It's a 10' looker, but not rusting and works great now. I got the POR15 floorpan kit. https://goo.gl/photos/8EaXBq7KHF7HZmYu9

    Sleep solo in my JKU next to ARB fridge? Or buy a nice tent?

    I wouldn't sleep inside unless it was really set up to do so. The fridge motor does make some noise and does give off a little warm air. If you've got a tent then use it - could hang in a hammock with a tarp, too - especially if going solo.

    How long to idle truck to charge battery?

    For this reason I got a jump pack... can also power items off the 12v port if needed. I would like to go to a full dual-battery solar charging setup, but it's not in the cards right now. You can get a solar battery tender to help keep up with the draw, too. Inexpensive ones are available at...

    ZJ Overland Build

    nice build! Is there room for a small gear box between the LED bar and leading edge of the tent? Consider some rock rails, too

    What do we like for storage boxes?

    plano heavy-duty footlocker style boxes and action packers make up most of my boxes, but that's just making do with what I have - If I had to plan it and purchase purposefully, I would go with some military surplus boxes and pelican cases for any sensitive items.

    Looking at purchasing a 2008 Xterra

    I had a 2006 and it did suffer from the SMOD, which I fixed. Nissan ended up assisting paying for the repair due to a class-action. That said, the truck was great. Very comfortable, extremely reliable. I almost bought a new Pro-4x, but opted for a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It's a shame that...

    Plastic vs. Metal Body Fridge/Freezer (i.e. ARB vs Edgestar Construction)

    I have an ARB50 and you can sit on it with no problems - quite rugged.

    The Need for a Lock and Roll Hitch When Overlanding

    Ball is common for road and cheap compared to lock-n-roll or max coupler, so that's why you don't see them much in on-road applications. Military/industrial use pintle/eye a lot, but this may be to reduce component complexity.
