    Renogy vs Grape Solar

    I'm currently using a rigid panel, and if I move to an Ursa Minor J30 top, I'd like to look at a lower-profile panel. What I'm thinking of doing is using thin strips of aluminum to create a lightweight frame and attaching it to the rack rails on the top, thereby leaving a gap for better...

    Check solarblvd.com; I got my 100w kit for ~$225 from them.

    Renogy vs Grape Solar

    And then there's one from Go Power! that's a little more than twice the price (if you subtract the cost of the included controller): http://www.amazon.com/Go-Power-GP-FLEX-100-Crystalline-Controller/dp/B00HSLZRWK

    jeep jk unlimited camper project

    I remember hearing that cars in the 40's-50's needed help seeing stop lights due to,their windshield visors. A Google search for "traffic signal prism" turned up some options.

    With the long overhang, you might need something like this to see traffic signals?

    (Can someone advise how I can avoid displaying the attached thumbnails? I used to know how to fix it, but not at the moment. Thanks!)

    Watches - ExPo Style

    I've been using and abusing my Casio Pathfinder PAW1200 for almost 8 years without a problem, other than having to replace the band once. I like its rounder shape, compared to other Pathfinders, and especially like the solar and atomic time features. Stock pic: I don't own one, but I'm...

    License Plate/3rd Brake Light Relocation and Trasharoos

    As far as pics go, I don't have anything closer at the moment, but I had a bar with two C-shaped ends attached to the license plate holder. The bar pins to the arms of the bike rack when I'm using the Trasharoo, and when I'm not, the plate goes back to its spot in the center of the wheel. If...

    Long Gun Storage

    I'd caution that anyone with this particular lock remove or hide the wires. It is a powered release used in patrol vehicles, and when we used one on a wall for prepare-to-repel-boarders station security, we found that a 9V battery could open the lock when touched to the wires. As for the mount...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    Sorry for not responding sooner. Congrats on the Shrockworks rear! I've had mine for several years and still believe it's one of the better ones out there. Of course, I'm also running their front stubby and sliders, so I'm a little biased! I haven't had mine totally unloaded in so long that I...

    Long Gun Storage

    I'm using a Pelican case and Caribou Cargo mounts on an upper rack. You can't see much through the factory window tint and it's easily removable.

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    I'm curious as to what OME's solution is for you. Can you elaborate? (BTW, I'd have given AEV serious consideration, too, but the evolution of my set up always seemed to be a bit ahead of AEV's plans!)

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    Mike, I recommend Old Man Emu for you. My JKU is no longer svelte, either; the fully-loaded, ready-to-go wet weight of the Jeep, including driver, is 6400 lbs., split 2650 front and 3750 rear. With the Old Man Emu springs (2619's front, 2620's rear - the 660# ones) and JKS ACOS adjustable...

    Multiple Pelican Case system

    I bolted a base platform (metal, but you could try it with wood) in the cargo area and use the Caribou Cargo Quick Fasten System to secure a decently-sized Pelican case for my kitchen stuff. Elsewhere, I also use them to lock three other Pelican cases the same way. You can see it at...

    Expo / Daily-driver JK build (Pic-heavy)

    Headlight upgrade After researching the options, reviewing Hilldweller's threads (across many forums!), and speaking with Daniel Stern, I opted to replace my craptastic headlights with Cibie E-code H4's, H4-H13 pigtail adapters, 70/65w Osram bulbs, and Narva Rangepower+50 H3 bulbs for my IPF...
