    My new ZJ Expedition Rig

    I have finally got pics up. I also added a hose to the spigot on my aqua-tainer so i am able to fill up water bottles, pans and what not. I am able to refill the container w/o removing it from the zj. I used a small peice of tubing w a threaded end that fits on a water hose. Works well so far.
