    Espresso Machine in Trailer!?

    While traveling by motorcycle, I use this: It makes decent shots on the stove top. Really. Italians use it in their homes. In fact, I used it while building my "Expedition Trailer" last summer. I have just acquired an AeroPress to take with me while using the trailer since I have more...

    ARB Fridge cord replacement

    "The simple / direct solution is cut your cord close to the cig plug and add Anderson connectors to the cut ends. Turn the cig plu into an adapter. Put it on when you need it, remove it when you dont. Why have two different cords (besides redundancy). Make the cord serve both connection types."...

    Window insert for 12VDC fan ventilation

    "And I'm still thinking the next time I have my rear cargo area apart and have access I'm going to just put 12v to the rear AC squirrel cage fan and see what happens. Could just put a diode on the factory power line to prevent backfeeding the vehicle wiring and put an always hot line and a...

    Budget subaru build? possible? capable?

    Start here. This build is pretty nice. I have a 2008 Outback LL Bean that pretty much goes anywhere I want to go. It doesn't rock crawl, nor jump stumps, but it is very capable. Best wishes and good luck on finding what you desire, and welcome to the forums.

    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    " I'm sure having a steel casing around the entire tail light will hold up fine so long as i keep 1/4" lip past the tail light face. you get me?" I think that will solve any potential problem.

    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    I fear you will lose those taillights if you leave them there without some kind of protection. Anything that scrapes along the trailer over the top of the fender is going to catch it. I love your build! It is STOUT!

    Subaru Impreza "XV" - Building A Crosstrek / Michigan Adventure

    "Minor change - I have hated the chrome strip across the grille since the day we brought the car home, and I didn't like the idea of just painting it. Subaru makes a mesh "sport" grille, and I had planned on getting it eventually. Problem is that it's $250! I finally caved and took my grille out...

    To spot or not to spot

    I started with Spot but switched to inReach a few years ago. One of the main reasons is coverage. Spot does not cover the northern latitudes real well and has other limitations in other parts of the globe. If you take a look at their coverage and compare it to inReach, you will see what I...
