    On Board Water systems and Storage

    I was looking into these. Similar to the offerings that Front Runner has, but more options and cheaper. https://ironman4x4america.com/water-tanks/

    Front Locker is it needed?

    If you don't rock crawl on a regular basis (which you said you don't do at all), spend the money on something you will use everyday. Put it toward suspension or A/T tires or the compressor setup you were talking about. You will be extremely surprised how far open diffs with aired down A/T's...

    Salt in the ice?

    What kind of cooler do you have? If it's a Yeti, RTIC, or similar, you "should" last that long. Make sure to keep it full, leave the melted water in it, keep it in the shade with ventilation if it's hot (not in the car), open as little and as quick as possible. If you are adding bottled water...

    Just bought an ARB fridge/freezer, set to 24 fahrenheit, but no ice. Defective?

    Glad your fridges are good, but there is a reason ARB decided to add a calibration feature to their control panel. When I got my fridge i found the temp setting was definitely off. The test shown above yielded a 5* difference. Coincidentally, I had this conversation with a buddy today and he...

    Just bought an ARB fridge/freezer, set to 24 fahrenheit, but no ice. Defective?

    Leave that basket in there. It's great for spills as it somewhat elevates and holds all your food for MUCH easier cleanup. It also protects your cooling coil from abrasion, over time. Leave only a couple beers in the basket and go for a ride. Those cans get destroyed quick. When I'm packing for...

    Just bought an ARB fridge/freezer, set to 24 fahrenheit, but no ice. Defective?

    I've never come across an ARB that was accurately calibrated from the factory. @chet6.7 dropped the video to calibrate. I strongly suggest you do it. I've seen up to 7 degrees F and it's usually displaying colder than it is.. Everyone has already mentioned relevant info to the fridge layout and...

    Advantages/Disadvantages Of A Titanium Crankshaft and Camshaft

    For anything other than a racing vehicle, it's unnecessary and would hinder performance in a daily driver or expedition vehicle. The closest comparison would be swapping to an aluminum flywheel. It'll rev up quick for spirited runs, but you want weight to help maintain momentum (torque) while...

    Do you use wheel spacers for wheeling?

    Ran/still running 1" wheel spacers on my Tacoma for over 25k now. Never had a problem. I check it every 3k with my oil change. Never had a lug come loose on the spacer or the hub. Installed 1.25" on my ZR2 a week after I bought it. Almost 12k miles now and same thing. Rotated twice and nothing...

    Shower Thoughts.............?

    If two people each find the other person's laugh funny, it might result in an endless cycle of laughter.... ....oh. Not that kind of shower thought.

    Wiring Mess - Clean It Up - Advice Needed

    Aside from the fuse/distribution blocks other folks have mentioned, wire loom can help bundle and protect wires for a cleaner and more factory looking harness. This is most effective when you plan out your wiring routes throughout the engine bay. Follow the same paths to the battery. You want to...

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    Entirely personal preference, like virtually everything else. The main point is that you have a table without having to carry a table. It's like an extension of a tailgate that is extremely convenient. But like you mention, it's not for everyone. I personally opted out of the drop-down table on...

    Stoves??

    After years on the standard propane Coleman 2 burner, I got fed up with it after i struggled to get it hot enough for Korean BBQ. Disclaimer, there was some wind, but nothing crazy. It just doesn't like wind, at all. Purchased a Camp Chef Everest and i'm not looking back. Double the output...

    Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon Setups

    Drillers ZR2

    A bunch of folks on ColoradoForum are happy with the OME leafpack. Main complaint was that they ship without packing/protection so they can be cosmetically damaged upon receiving.

    Ronny Dahl's Recovery Mat Torture Test

    I have to agree with Box Rocket. Ronny's test sealed the deal for me. I have the Amazon special Maxsa tracks(they were a gift). Though, i have rarely used them in the past 3.5 years, I now have a clear path when i look to replace these. The fact that Ronny went straight to "lets try to break...

    Electric Chain Saw???

    I carry a Milwaukee M18 chainsaw with a 12.0AH battery(I have other smaller batteries for other various things). Works great for fire wood duty. I'm not a logger or a trail clearer(Las Vegas doesn't have many trees), so battery works great. I use about 1/4 battery to supply one really good fire...

    Cheaper alternative to ARB awning?

    Personally, I enjoy my ARB. The plastic hinges allow the unit to be positioned, safely, at any angle. Once you start using it, and realize what a game changer having an awning is, the price doesn't seem so bad. If you're really worried about price, just buy an EZ-Up tent. They are 10'x10' and...

    Photos of mid-sized vehicles - Post Here

    Hi, I'm Hogan, I'm new here and this is Zoe, my 2018 ZR2 V6. She likes long walks on the beach, sunsets, starry nights, the finest 91 octane, and getting pounded like a dir....nevermind. Relentless bumpers, Baja Designs lights, Warn winch, wheel spacers, some 589 goodies, Leer shell, Renogy...
