Disclaimer: I’ve found many great ideas on ExPo that I have used or adapted to my needs, but I’m afraid I haven’t kept track of the sources of those ideas; I appreciate all the R&D efforts others have posted. All bad ideas are the sole responsibility of the owner, and anyone with comments...

I used a RAM mount with a suction cup for my GPS for several years and only had it fall off when the temperature dropped below 35-40*. I only stopped the suction cup base because I installed Vector Offroad's JKE-Dock to the dash and clamp my electronics, including an iPad, with RAM products to...

After removing the center and end legs, I had a bracket made that conforms to the two center leg sockets of the cot and connects it to the rack. I can leave the bedding in it with the tent portion collapsed and the cot portion extended, like a surfboard or ironing board, and will put a cover...

After soaking in much info from everyone on ExPo, here's what I came up with (credit to the Portal for good ideas; bad ideas are the responsibility of the owner): My wife and daughter, for some reason, just don't find camping in such fine quarters appealing, so a $200 Tentcot seemed a better...

Thanks!

Bill, can you give any info on the modified roof of the ER second from the right in the group shot?

Another choice I haven't seen HP mentioned at all. Anyone else like webOS over iOS, Android, or Windows? Having owned a Palm device, in one form or another, for a decade and enjoying webOS on a Pre, I aim to get HP's Touchpad when it comes out in a few months. My main uses will be pretty...

A friend is helping me build a roof rack for my JK out of Hollaender Speed-Rail http://www.hollaender.com/?page=speedrail , but it'll be a few weeks (fingers crossed) until it's done. With all the fittings you could imagine, I think the system would be easily adapted to your application. Check...

PM sent.

Damn! I should've tried this route! Unfortunately, I went with the "I admit it's a WANT, not a NEED, but if I work some overtime and sell my soft- and hardtops" angle instead, and she countered with the "We need new carpet, we need to put some money towards college, we need ... " move and, for...

GC steel wheels Scott, what are your thoughts on the tire/wheel combo? The GC steel wheels are 7.5" wide, correct? I'm about to replace my original 32" KMs with 35" KM2s. I've seen the negatives with putting 12.5" wide tires on 7.5" wide wheels, but have also seen many, many positives (and no...

Just saw this thread and have to say that I love the idea! :drool:I've got an '07 JK Unlmtd. and would want to keep the rear seat and doors for daily driving and family. As for which way to flip, I'm a bit torn. I like the idea of having the top flip to the rear or the passenger side for the...

Ever since I saw old Defenders with overloaded racks, I've liked the look. Of course, I've got enough sense to understand the high COG issues, too, but I still like the looks!:D How much noise does the rack produce? Any whistling sounds? I'd think the hard top would minimize any noise, but I'm...

Scott, I'm curious how you and others are going to stow heavy / dirty recovery gear inside. I wouldn't want to store such items in the overhead area. Have you come up with a solution? Does the screen room work well with the rear tire carrier / rack set-up? Oh, and is there a rain fly for the...

I am curious to see how the rear tent works with the tire carrier / bumper combination, though, and if it has a floor.

ER has a prototype in the works: [/IMG] Kind of reminds me of the French Foreign Legion-type hat, for some reason:xxrotflma :
