    Colb's Red Rover

    Also opted for no sensors with new bumpers by ARB and Tach4X. I don't have the beep but the light flashes only when going back but I just push the button to off it.

    Full length rack noise

    I made my fairing but kept the included FR under rack metal pieces as I might make something of them one day.

    Project Victory_Overland 08 LR3 Build Thread!

    Letting things overshoot the back can be a problem but as long as the rear hatch, when lifted, doesn't conflict, all should be reasonably OK. Although, almost 2 feet might look a bit odd.

    Fully integrated water tank, pump, water heater in a 5g sceptre?

    I use a Stainless garden sprayer that can be put over my stove to heat the water to desired temps. If it is too hot I add cold. Can be pumped to create pressure and the spray nozzle allows the water to be turned off or on. I can load it for a long trip or not take it all. I tried a solar bag, on...

    Drawer System vs. Storage Boxes

    Boxes can and do shift and are often last in first out. I installed a 'built-in' shelf system to also double as a sleeping platform. All of my 'stuff' is in the drawers, out of sight and not visually available and the items in there are kept in the vehicle at all times so all I have to do for an...

    Storage bag? I am trying to make a sort of bag to wrap around it just to keep the rattles down. It is going to be interesting. The problem is the handles.

    You can change that cabin filter yourself. Atlantic Brit has a video and you can get the filter from them. Easy and not expensive. Also wipers, have periodic sales, less than dealer. Plugs cheeper as well. Then have Dennis change them out, stock oil filters as well from AB, they supply the...

    Crisis in our national parks: how tourists are loving nature to death

    Went to Machu Picchu two years ago with a tour. Morning can be a bit misty and foggy. You can wear the thin disposable plastic poncho you can buy there. Still, a breath taking visit.

    PowerTank 5lb propane tank bracket review

    I cut a piece of the anti-fatigue mat from Harbor Freight for the bottom of my Nato can brackets and other things as it is relatively inexpensive and easy to find. Might also work for propane tank if the bottom isn't going cut through it.

    Gear that works

    I also use corrugated plastic (similar to Realestate signs) in the bottom to keep smaller things from falling out.

    Gear that works

    Been using milk crates for years. They were too tall for one application but they trim down easily with a common handsaw. and a little sandpaper to even them up. Lots of spaces to use bungie cords to secure them.

    Alternatives to Dynamat?

    I used a material that is similar to the Jegs stuff but it is for applying to the valleys in roofing application. Foil but very sticky on one side, comes in rolls about 50 feet long...

    Frontrunner antenna mount

    I have a FR rack and made my own bracket from 1 inch angle grounded to the body with its own wire to a OEM ground point. Works well and not expensive. I have a few things from FR that I bought thinking they would be welcome additions but I have yet to use them. FR makes great stuff, don't get me...

    Overwhelmed, need advice.

    I have a 100W foldable panel that I mount to the bonnet (hood) with straps so it doesn't blow away. A vehicle battery and a house battery that after a 300+ mile day charges enough to last about 3 days of just sitting. I rig up the panel to a solar controller after one day and it keeps the house...
