My first experience with a Triumph motorcycle was on a Bonneville. Not too terribly exciting given the bike's ubiquity and longevity, arguably the bike that kept Triumph in business, much like Harley's Sportster. What made the experience extraordinary were 1) my spouse was pillion, 2) we were on...

Congrats. Great choice.

Rear Work Lamps Rounding out the illumination modifications on the Nomad is a pair of three-inch, 12W LED work lamps mounted on the rear Surco roof rack stanchions. Although the interior cargo lamp has been converted to LED, I needed more light on the food prep area along with a bit more...

Thank you. I wouldn't do it without the Blue Sea box.

Thanks. The QuickFists are to eliminate vibration and provide secondary security point.

Auxiliary Lighting With the roof rack finally where I want it to be, I pulled the trigger on new off-road combo lamps on the bull bar, and finally wired up the trail lights on the roof rack. It all begins with the addition of a Blue Sea Blade Fuse block and a 100 amp breaker. Blue Sea...

Roof Rack Hack 2.0 You might recall the roof rack hack on the Apex cargo basket where I cut some length out of the risers to lower the rack and hopefully reduce drag. The mod worked well and supported our recovery and camp gear without issue. But I wasn't ever pleased that the rack wasn't full...

Great deal on a very nice looking SR. You're probably already aware - keep in mind the conditions and 4X selection for your locker. It's just intended to lock the axle to provide traction to get unstuck, not to roll with down the road.

Gen 2 third row seating is a pair of jump seats as opposed to a Gen 3 where the seat is more of a traditional third row seat that collapses and stows in the floor. It's not as wide as the Gen 2 jump seats nor as versatile since the jumpers can be stowed independently. Second row seating is more...

Enjoyed your build and your posts. Great inspiration here.

O/D Switch Swap One of the perils of not consulting the FSM on any job is taking a risk that might disable a perfectly good working function, like the over drive switch. When I replaced the transfer case shifter my initial thought was that the gear selector knob would have to come off in...

No change in MPG on last week's commute, which is a good thing. But, one 700 mile trip is a pretty limited sample and I had a strong headwind on my northbound leg. I'll log a couple of more commutes to see what the numbers say, then load the rack with the awnings and see what difference they...

I really liked my Garvin rack on the H3. Smart design with the diagonal stanchions that reduce noise, and lightweight. ARB awnings mount up to it just fine, as well. Looking forward to seeing it on your rig. Love the trailer, by the way. Note what I had to do on the Surco mounts with the clamp...

The Apex Roof Rack has served our adventures well, stowing cargo and being a platform upon which to mount two ARB awnings. But the drag knocks a mile-per-gallon off the Monty's mileage. I drive 700 miles a week traversing the great State of Utah for my commute and need every MPG I can get...

Thanks. I've been a fan of yours since the III. To my surprise there's little noise impact all buttoned up. We travel a lot with the sunroof open and there's a bit of a whistle at speed, but it's never been bothersome. I've since lowered the rack (coming up on the next post) hoping to shave some...

You can enter the room from the vehicle through the second row door. The tent door is wide enough to allow the vehicle door to open fully. That's how we get onto the sleeping platform when we're hitting the sack.

ARB 2000 Awning and Room Completing the sleeping platform and rear ARB awning is a second ARB awning, this one the 2000 (6ft.) along with ARB's awning room. The room has two large mesh windows with zippered flaps and grommets for poles to provide additional shade while open. The main door is...

Noncancelling Turn Indicator Fix Out of the blue the left turn indicator won't cancel, so I pulled the fuse and made my way home illegally. Don't tell anyone. I disassembled the assembly and here's what I found. After removing the stalk subassembly, inside the case I found what was left...

Though this doesn't broadcast per se as a radio, this being a Communications thread I thought I'd post about this device here. We recently added a weBoost Drive 4G-X to our rig thanks to Wilson Electronics who make the device, which happens to be a hometown export from St. George, Utah. It's...
