Curious how aired down were you and what tire load rating were you running. I had a terrible drive on Hole in the Rock Road last year with my icon shocks turned totally soft and my E rated tires at like 22-24, which is about as low as I like to go on non sandy surfaces. Usually can speed plane...

I’m embarrassed to tell you how many pillows we take.😔🤣 I have back and neck issues, so it’s two full size pillows for me, plus I use one of two throw pillows we use for back rests on the bench seat to put under my knees. Then there’s a few more . . . We just stack them on the bench seat in...

Why can’t you just lean agains the support boards for the lift hinge? I have the older style that doesn't use the 4wheel camper style black boards, but I just filled it in with Coroplast VHB’d to the hinge structure. We put a few pillows against it and have been leaning on it for 3 years with...

Here’s another approach that I took, if you want to put your faucet remote from the Scepter.

Great for a camper

Perfect! Thanks, that’s helpful

Couldn’t agree more!

That’s unfortunate, and a bit puzzling too. It’s a shame cause Coroplast is really durable and superlight weight. I have had my Ovrlnd interior finished with Coroplast sitting in the Phoenix heat for 3 years and have had no problem at all with warping or sagging. I personally wouldn’t give up...

Something to keep in mind re: weight. All those things we add to make our rigs more capable and to handle more weight all add to the weight we’re trying to buffer. Swapping out OEM stock parts for aftermarket beefier parts can double the weight of what you’ve removed and can be hundreds of...

Has anyone heard of this jack: BUNKER INDUST Hydraulic Lift Jack. Found it on Amazon (so you’d have to search, since I still think we can’t link to Amazon here anymore?) Looks like an exact knock off of the ARB jack for about 60% of the price. There’s a (very) few good reviews and it...

Thanks for the info/link. If you wouldn’t mind I have a few more questions on the propane setup. Is the pigtail hose from the tank to the regulator input a standard one from eTrailer and is it 12”? Just trying to figure the placement of the regulator in my set up and whether I need to find a...

Watched their videos — amazing construction and boats. Shame they’re so heavy, though. We have a Sea Eagle, which has really impressed us, but clearly not in the same league as the Long Hauls

The problem is that no really really knows. It’s a combo of every rig is different and the use cases are different (eg, top heavy?, towing?, FS roads or the Rubicon?, what mods?) and the fact that the GVWR numbers are a combination of OEM lawyers, marketers, state limits for personal vs...

Very nice rig! I didn’t see any mention of the factory rear locker, or did I miss it? Also, any skid plates other than the diff protection?

I use VHB a lot for semi structural things. Really good surface prep is key as is sufficient square inches of bracket footprint for the tape strength AND the expected load. Keep in mind there are MANY types of VHB. I have not mounted solar panels with VHB, but if I do on my aluminum roof I...

I love how you find interesting places in some areas that many wouldn’t think of going. That’s the beauty of this vast landscape we inhabit. I have been on that same route through the Medicine Bow NF and am happy to not try it in the conditions you did. Did you have chains?

They are much stiffer. I have the Mini and so-called JaxBase combo. It’s one mini and the second is reinforced with a footprint space in the middle to fit the bae of a jack (will fit a bottle, Toyota, or HiLift and I assume an ARB too). The jaxBase is cross gridded on the back and super...

I got curious about scissors jacks, and searching around, I found this Jack overview which is pretty good, IMO: https://www.takethetruck.com/blog/4x4-off-road-jacks It’s got affiliate links, of course, but still a good overview

A few thoughts: — Two jacks IMO are absolutely necessary. Modified off-road suspensions droop so much that you cannot just jack from the frame, or off-road bumpers, etc in a lot of situations. So jacking up the axle is often going to be required sometimes as well as jacking up the chassis. —...

Really nice buildout; I think that’s the nicest one I’ve seen on any pop-up topper camper. You did a really clean looking job! I couldn’t catch the name/brand of the propane regulator. I have a mount in the same area and need to find a good two stage vertical regulator. What was it, and have...
