    Do you think it might be able to fit if it or the drawer was modified? Maybe even with leaving the top off. I hadn't thought about a griddle until I saw your's but now I think I'd rather a griddle over a stove top.

    I might just have to pick one of those up! That's awesome and not a bad price when compared to the partner.

    Climateright CR5000ACH. https://climateright.com/climateright-5000-btu-a-c-heater-2.html Yes you will definitly need a generator or a crap ton of batteries/solar. I haven't measured the amp pull but the nameplate says 700watts cooling and 1300 watts for heating.

    The a/c worked pretty well. We ran it during the day for the kids naps and then die fired it back up about 30minutes before going to bed. It ran all night on a single tank in the smittybilt generator.

    Its over twice as much if I recall the 416 weights. Scout is 1,500 dry and 3,300 GVWR. 416 is 600 dry and 1,100 loaded Too slow, Silverback07 beat me.

    I thought about those, but I also have ended up lifting a tire in the air when leveling the trailer with the jacks, so I ordered some of the stackable blocks for RVs. That way they can be dual purpose, hopefully.

    The tent is heavy but, two people should be able to rotate it around to open on the other side.

    We got out and did some beach camping this past weekend! We camped on the Red River with about 60 acres of sandy beach all to our selves. Check out https://www.hipcamp.com/oklahoma/red-river-sandbox/river-view-camp I found out that I need some larger feet for the jacks when on the sand, and I...

    Converting a factory JK/JKU hardtop to modular

    Thanks, I guess I missed that section on my reread of the thread. I'll remove the pin and bolt it on like you did, that way I can slide it straight out and don't have to lift it up any. Each of the 4 feet have 4 bolts thru the roof. There is a aluminum spacer that fits the id of the holes...

    Converting a factory JK/JKU hardtop to modular

    I've been following this thread for a while, but haven't been able to work up the courage to cut my top up yet. I run a TrekTop nx most of the time so I can remove the sides and back pretty easily. But I recently got a fridge and am now in and out of the back more and opening the rear window has...

    It's doing great, just not getting used enough. Weekend before last my little girl said we don't go camping enough, so we sat it up in the yard! I still need to find time to finish my tire swing out and maybe build a drawer for the pantry and tons of other little things. My wife thinks I'm...

    Leaving annex attached while folding up tent?

    I still haven't tried it with the floor yet. I usually leave 4 sleeping bags in the tent, with the bags I don't think it would quite fit, but one day I'll get around to trying it.

    Cheaper 270 Degree Awnings: ARQ4WD & Overland Pros

    I recently received my ARQ4WD 6.5 foot 270 degree awning. We made one trip out with it so far. So far based on my experience, for the price I'd buy one again. I did experience troubles with delivery and shipping so it took 5 months before I received it. First it was the wrong shipment, then the...

    Yeah, buying new steel is expensive. For just the modifications I made to my rack and material for a rear tire swing, I've spent about $400. I do have a lot of steel left over because I bought full lengths for the local steel house, it was just slightly more to buy the full length compared to...

    If I had the time, I probably would have built my own instead of buying. I barely have the time to make modifications to it as it is. Over all its a great trailer and I'd buy it again if I had too do it over.

    Well we had a last minute change of plans this last weekend, everyone I was going with to the High Water Mark trail in the Ozarks bailed out do to weather or mechanical issues mid day Thursday and we were planning on leaving at 5 Thursday evening. I didn't want to run that kind of trail for the...

    If the distance I assumed from your's is about right, it'll actually have the same amount of flex. I assumed 8" from the pivot point to the tube that connects to the trailer, this is also assuming the tube is fully rigged at the point where the two tubes connect. However, your shear stress from...
