Sorry about your father. I'm glad you got to share your passion with him. I lost my father and brother to cancer and I just spent the last 1 1/2 years taking care of my wife as she battled cancer. We couldn't go anywhere, so I built the camper on the weekends in my basement. She's fully...

It looks like there’s plenty of National Forest land to camp on in western and central Wyoming. Hope to find a couple camp sites next to creeks or I’ll be pretty ripe by the time I get home.:sneaky:

Canyon and Grant camps in Yellowstone. Looks like Grand Teton camps are all booked for my dates. If anyone knows of some dispersed camping sites around Jackson Hole, let me know. I'm not familiar with 4 wheel camping laws in Wyoming, but many times National Forest Lands allow dispersed...

Well the hardest part of planning this trip is finding camping sites in Yellowstone. I've reserved my camping sites there and even booked a room at Old Faithful Inn. I'm really looking for some off grid places to camp. I just found a great free site near Badlands. Let me know if you know of...

Here’s an easy way to make sure your cooler or fridge doesn’t bounce out of your Jeep! There’s also a place to strap the back of the cooler.

I hated how my cattle used my pickup as a "Scratching Post" when they walked by. Hope the Buffalo don't get the same idea with my camper!

Great progress! Nice catch leaving room for the tent material. One item I missed was leaving clearance room for my mattress and bedding. My 4" mattress gets in the way of the tent material and folding parts, making it a tight fit when I close the top. It looks like you left room below the...

I'm thinking about a Rockies trip this summer. My problem is that I'm trying to fit too much into a 1-2 week trip. Let me know which places you like best and worst. I've got to cut out some of this. St. Louis to Badlands of South Dakota, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Tetons, Arches National...

Where to put the fridge or cooler in a JL or JT? I've been playing around with my fridge location for the last two years. I put it in the back by the tailgate, on the bench in the camper, and in the cab back seats. I keep going back to one location because of ease. The driver side back seat is...

I need my weekly entertainment! How’s your build going?

I found another view to wake up to. It’s my little paradise complete with waterfall and a scary cave. I put that ladder down into the cave about 10 years ago. Too sketchy for me.

OK, I'm an engineer, and I believe form follows function. You can make something both functional and beautiful, but it takes an effort. I think I pulled off both in building this pop-top from scratch. I am a bit bias though, having worked on it for two years. It's extremely light, compact...

Portable or Roof Top Solar? Let me know. Here's the story. I've been driving my truck to work and the store this week and this has been enough to recharge my power supply and keep my fridge running all week. Problem is if I park my truck for two days, my fridge drains the power supply. I was...

Incredible build! I was wondering what Dan was going to be driving on his next adventure, and now I know. Looks like both of you will have amazing all terrain vehicles. I'm just a weekend warrior so far, but some day I'll join the big leagues. Here is a little trip from last weekend.

Drumroll please... The results are in. The Pecron 600watt power supply ran my Iceco JPL42 with a 12 pack of beer for 44 hours. Daytime temperatures are hitting 80's. It works fine running the fridge for a weekend trip. Next up I will hook up the power supply to my truck's stock inverter, so...

24 hours into my power station / refrigerator test and there are 10 beers left and 59% power. Looks like I need to drink faster?

And a nice view for breakfast!
