    Not Necessarily EXPO, but it could be a cool Base Camp

    I camped in my 6x10 Wells cargo from many years...... 1993-2002 (only on camping trips of course) It served the purpose very well. My 1991 Wells Cargo trailer

    Which Garmin for Overland Use?

    x2 I use mine in truck, car, jeep and on my DRZ400S. works well in all uses, but it's been discontinued. I was going to say the 478, but it's been discontinued too. You want something that you can use the Garmin Mapsource software with - to load more details maps in to the GPS, as well as...

    HID replacement headlights for Jeep Wrangler?

    I'm one of the first owners of the SkinnyPedal kit from the Rubicon Forum (ROF). I love it. It makes my KC lights seem like they aren't even on. I'm running the IPF housings.

    I need your expertise.

    For reference, here's a e-cab twin to my truck, with the AF 990 on it. 990 gives you a bigger dinette (which results in a longer bed - dinette converts to bed). the 990 hangs out the bed quite a bit more than the 811. www.northwoodmfg.com - they are in LaGrande, Oregon. Primarily you find...

    I need your expertise.

    That's exactly why I went with a truck /camper combo. I was finding that a class C didn't have the towing capacity to suit my needs, and with the weight of the RV on top of the chassis, you'd be lacking the power to get up the mtn pass at 60mph. Gas motor was not for me, but there's very few...

    Concept Question

    Most of the weight will be over the axle when loaded. If you add doo-dads to the tongue, then tongue weight will increase (things like tool box, etc.)

    Safari Straps net kit install

    Once everything is installed and buckled, then go around and shuffle the positions of the straps and tighten as needed until you have everything positioned where you want it. Once all was said and done, the final resting place of the top net looked like this. Installing the slip...

    The angled portion of the net faces the rear of the Jeep, label faces out. The three strap on the rear of the side window net integrate with the loops on the cage net. The Top strap of the side net wraps around the same location as the strap on cage net. This shows both straps looped...

    Safari Straps net kit install

    Got these from http://www.safaristraps.com. Safari Straps is a new manufacturer of net kits. I have the 4 net TJ kit, which is the 4 piece kit with 2 side windows, full cage net and a divider net. There's also a 4 piece set which includes a rear only cage net, not the full cage net like I...

    Trailer Battery Monitor

    I'd recommend the Link 10 battery monitor over the one mentioned above. http://www.xantrex.com/web/id/237/p/1/pt/5/product.asp much easier to use too. mounts in the hole you'd use to mount a gauge in: splash proof front panel. I've used the Link 10 in many different rigs I've had over the...
