That got added to my kit a few years ago. Every time I use it I’m just amazed. I jump started a freaking diesel tractor one day with it and the guy was thinking “wait..whaaaat?” As he saw me pull it out of its case to help him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the reasons I'm shying away from lead acid batteries is due to the requirement for running a high amperage charging circuit from the alternator, which then really necessitates something like an ACR to separate the "house" battery from the starting battery. I've done a few of those...

Thank you - good info. Seems to contradict some anecdotal things I've seen/heard, but of course its always better to be conservative. I already drive every day. I either change camp, or leave camp in the Jeep to scout all day driving around an area. Trying to avoid gas generators. I'm...

GC's? golf cart batteries? Then I have to add solar controller and a charger. And the performance for the weight/size is not anywhere near as good as lithium chemistry - I'm really trying to solve for size, weight, and portability. I'd consider a "permanent" installation of two smaller 6v...

The batteries in these units aren't replaceable, and are good for about 500 discharge/recharge cycles (to zero and back). They are basically stuffed full of 18650 cells. But educate me please, because either I'm misunderstanding or I have misread during my research.... First of all, I dont'...

I've been poking around considering various options for powering my Dometic CFX50 fridge, and I think I want to go with one of these portable "generator" type units that have everything built in. My plan is to keep the unit plugged into the IGN-powered 12v, and then plug the fridge into the...

Even slower than it already is. Remember that 4.0 even in the “HO” version was only something like 195 hp. That’s nearly 100hp less than the 3.6. I’m no fan of the 3.6 but I would not want the 4.0 in my ‘17 JKUR. A nice AMERICAN turbo diesel, hell yes! But not the 4.0. Sent from my iPhone...

I'm currently in a different situation, but with similar requirements (except for the 50a continuous load requirement - you sure you need that much?). I've done a a lot of boat wiring over the years and I've found that SIMPLE IS BETTER. I see some of the plans of people here on this forum and...

Sure! As long as you can keep up on the 500 miles of freeway to get to the turnoff! :D . I've had a buddy with a Unimog and we used to go places together (25 years ago). Even though I was in a CJ5 that maxxed out at about 65, he'd still arrive at the trailhead hours after me. I got used to...

That looks perfect! Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks - do you have any pictures of it rolled up on the Jeep? Trying to get a sense of how far out it sticks (both to the side and fore/aft).

For those of you using this awning with the JKU, are you running the regular (33100) or compact version (33300)? I'm adding a backbone and set of Vortex bars soon and after my last outing in the rain I decided that one of these might be pretty life-changing....

I sure do miss my '90 Syncro Westy. Sold that thing WAAAAY too cheaply back in 2005. Had it for 10+ years and about 150,000 miles, two transaxles, 2 VCs, one engine rebuild and a LOT of great memories. Good luck with the Sale - may all the Syncros live forever!

There are some Japanese imports every once in a while with the diesel engine (for those fanbois of diesel, which I also happen to be). generally they tend to be in very good shape because of the Japanese inspection requirements. Only problem is (to your point) that they fetch upwards of...

Ford, Chevy, or Toyota? 40 S&W or 10mm? Semi Auto or Revolver? Spincaster or baitcaster? So many forum threads devolve I to these kinds of debates... To the OP If it was me, I’d stick with the JK, drop down to 35’s and 2.5” springs, lose as much weight as possible and get a good roof rack, REI...

Lack of floor dimensions? 2m x 2m seems huge to me! :) But for $325 a lot less painful than $800 to $1,300 if one doesn’t like the idea of this sort of tent. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm quite surprised how little buzz there is about this tent. I guess its no wonder that Tepui and CVT both discontinued their similar ground tents given the lack of interest. Apparently us Yanks don't like to carry as much bulky crap as our Aussie brethren... ;-)

It looks like Polyperformance finally will have the rest of the parts I ordered Black Friday, so I’ve scheduled the install for the 29th of this month. I’ll report back on the results of replacing: 1. Rock Krawler track bar for Synergy unit 2. RK lower control arms for Synergy units 3. OEM tie...

http://www.overlandpros.com/index.php/product/panamint-2000/ Looks like a lighter weight knock off of the OZtent and less than 1/2 the price (on sale right now for $325 - that seems too good to be true). But I wonder about materials, construction quality, and after sale support (accessories...

Other than an overly complicated hybrid Italian 4-banger that seems like the main difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
