    Anyone know of a trailer jack with a 1-1/2" receiver hitch mount?

    I can weld but alas, have no equipment. And around where I live in Bougie Central CA a welder would probably charge $1,500 for something. But you’re right this should be simple and would be MUCH more stable than my wobbly single jack Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    Haha. Man there are a lot of great ideas in this thread. So I started wearing a pair of nurses’s crocs (ones without holes). MAN do my feet get sweaty after about 20 minutes! They are great for middle of the night pee excursions or making coffee and walking to the top of a boulder to watch the...

    Anyone know of a trailer jack with a 1-1/2" receiver hitch mount?

    The existing jack uses a circular mount with pin and has a lot of slop Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone know of a trailer jack with a 1-1/2" receiver hitch mount?

    No solution yet. I have a Turtleback trailer and on the front of the frame there are two square tubes welded to the frame that were originally intended as lift points for a military contract. They are about 2’ back from the tongue. I’m hoping to be able to utilize them as front stabilizing...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    They were at the off-road expo last month in Ontario, CA (usually held in Pomona). My buddy got a great deal on a scout + gen2 tent+ 270 awning. I’ve got a 23Zero tent and Rhino batwing and I am impressed with the Smitty stuff he got, especially since he paid less than half what I paid for my...

    Cell Booster options

    Back to the original question posted by the OP: " I'm looking into cell boosters mostly to keep in contact with the wife when I'm out (she doesn't typically join in the adventures)" OP, you may be pre-supposing the solution to your issue. If you want to be able to provide updates and location...

    Minimum Equipment List JKU

    I’m pressed for time so I’ll make a brief list and come back for more later. 1. I applaud the effort and desire to compile and share a list. 2. I carry too much crap. But I pay attention to the things I use most often. They are: -air compressor, deflator, and air chuck - tire plug kit and...

    What do you consider to be the best cookware kit?

    Coming back here to post about some new cookware I just used on a 4-day trip and really fell in love with. This might not fit your specific situation, but it was perfect for me. I bought a large set, pulled the three things I need for camping, and gave the rest of the set to one of my kids...

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    That looks different from the current version of the "destroyer". But I like the placement of the 7-way plug. Thats one of the things I will need to figure out

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    If I do that my trailer looks like it’s taking a nose dive and all the contents end up mashed against the front. It’s on 35’s and a tall lift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    Thanks! Thanks! Thats definitely better than mine. Looks like it will be VERY close...

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    I have this exact problem. With my Max Coupler hitch installed, I can't open the rear gate to access my fridge. Total PITA, as I always have to unhook and disassemble at camp unless I want to climb in through the back doors every time I want a cold beer. I'm wondering if the LOD would be...

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    Until you step on a baby rattler. I happened to look down while cooking dinner about two years ago while wearing flip flops in the desert in late September. My headlamp beam illuminated an 8-10” long rattler coiled up at the base of the stump I was cooking on. Literally 5” from my foot and I...

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    That’s a clever idea…. I’ve been agonizing over whether to go with an “all in one” unit like the LOD or a bumper that utilizes the factory hitch (which i'd have to buy, since it was removed by the PO when the Smittybilt was installed) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advantages of ground tents over camping in your vehicle.

    I really like my Gazelle T4 for solo camping but I don’t think it has enough space for you. lol It checks all the other boxes though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Charging options?

    What is your budget? There are literally thousands of options. The Jackery 240 is on sale right now on Amazon (15% off IIRC). It’s enough to run a laptop and charge phones and GoPro for a day or two probably. It can be recharged from the Jeep’s AC outlet (faster) or the 12v plug (slower) Or...

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    I'm currently running a Smittybilt Atlas Rear bumper and I'd like to replace it with something that is a bit lighter weight and has a better "profile" (narrower, closer to the body). Here is my "wish list" of features: Must be rated to tow 3,500 lbs Accommodate a 7-pin towing plug Swing-away...

    Fridge with digital temperature control?

    Interesting. Well, at any rate, I know the Dometic units use a thermostatically controlled compressor and allow you to set the temp with a digital display. Snomaster is the same.

    Fridge with digital temperature control?

    Has your Engel always had this problem? If not you may have a bad thermistor. I know that my Dometic CFX has a digital temp setting and will hold temp to within 3-4° F regardless of ambient temp. It will freeze food when it is 100°. F outside, but it will run the compressor constantly. To...
