    Tepui drops the....mic! - Unveils the much anticipated hardshell RTT!

    Looks to be able to integrate solar pretty easily using the rails too, which is a complaint I've had of many of the hardshells, including my Airtop. Nice work, nice innovation and not more "me too" copying.

    Simple Dual Battery Set-up Gone Wrong

    The whole point of the smart solenoid is to cut the link when one of the two battery voltages drop lower than the thresholds. In this case, it would have protected the aux getting drained by what sounds like a weak starter battery. You're almost there, you just need the solenoid itself on the...

    Simple Dual Battery Set-up Gone Wrong

    How was the yellow top being charged before this episode? If the yellow top is not holding a charge from full it may be hosed from not being fully charged each cycle. It can possibly be refreshed but only using the optima charger which does a full charge at the proper voltage. Which by the way...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    There is a propane burner attached to the bottom of the Skottle. Most use the green bottles, but I plan on adapting to a 5lb tank.

    REI Having 25% Off Sale on InReach, Should I Buy or Wait?

    It's worth it either way. I really like mine and find it incredibly useful.

    ARB Outback Solution Drawer Organization (show me you set up and load plan)

    McMaster-Carr. Track and tie-downs. I'm using the front runner strachits instead of bungles, which seem to be working well for my kitchen box.

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Now with my 2006 I'm towing a double horse trailer. With both horse loaded, I'm guessing we are right near the max capacity. Other than the fuel mileage, it's a good ride. I added the Timbren springs to this rig too as helpers. This photo was before the Timbren were added. And she'll get...

    Glad you liked the layout. Answers and commentary: 1) the square shaped box is actually a pair of PowerPole power outlets. They are small Anderson plugs and I can use them to power stuff. Coming from the radio world, they are kind of standard, so I can adapt to just about any other kind of...

    BlackFin Camper Box

    If it's Kickstarter I wouldn't hold my breath. Even if it gets funded, many of the successful ones aren't delivering on their product in the promised timeframe, or for some of the ones I backed, at all. There are some great commercial offerings out there now.

    WTB Snow Peak fire pit

    My large arrived today. Here is a contrast of the medium vs large in case folks wanted to know. Large is much better! I've owned a medium for awhile now, but really wanted a large. Here's a medium that I ordered for a friend.

    Nice. That suspension looks awesome. I'm guessing you don't have any gear rattling around the back of the rig ;)

    ARB Outback Solution Drawer Organization (show me you set up and load plan)

    Ok, since you asked about loading plan, here is my layout. It's taken a couple of years to get it right. I think it's pretty compact and functional now. Right side, camping equipment: Pretty much everything you'd need. Ammo can has the coffee Kit. There are two folding FrontRunner chairs...

    WTB Snow Peak fire pit

    The Large are pretty much unobtainium new -- I've never heard of a used one coming up,as I've been looking. I have the medium, but longed for the large... So when it came up, I jumped on it.

    I know you said used, but Snow peak has the large in stock on the web. I just ordered one.
