    What to do with-New U.S. Army Tent

    Based on the army needed to set it up… I would donate it to a scout troop, church group, homeless shelter, etc…. Messing around with that much weight while camping will get old 1/2 way through the first attempt at using it.

    Behind seat storage

    Assume it is soft enough to handle changes in front and rear position of one seat versus the next? Or is it really for bench seats only?

    Ham/GMRS Install Location - Solved

    I put my radios under the drivers seat and ran the remote face for the HAM around the top of windshield and riveted it to the bottom of my SPOD.

    Group 24 Deep Cycle Battery Suggestions

    I did the Odyssey in a JK “because of my fridge” thing for about 2 years, maybe getting onto 3. It was a nightmare of constant undercharge or random low voltage cutouts and dead battery jumping. Even with the Odyssey charger and plugging it in several time a week my 60+ mile daily commute...

    Securing RTT to trailer unistrut

    I’ve always welded them, but If I was using only Unistrut commercial fittings, I would probably try to adapt the P-1075 bracket, or at an absolute minimum, use the P-2452 knee braces. The P-1779 brackets might be a nice middle ground. If you are using what is available at big box stores, maybe...

    Securing RTT to trailer unistrut

    Yes, but you still need to create strong corner joints. Some sort of triangulation is important because your concerns are more than just dead weight in the downward direction. I suspect that if you go out and push sideways on the trailer right now, it will wobble side to side. Those bent...

    Securing RTT to trailer unistrut

    Sagging is unacceptable. That will collapse on potholes or highway bumps. You need a load factor of safety of about 4-6x for dynamic loads. I would not run that myself. I recommend that you swap that to full-depth or even doubled up full depth Unistrut. Do you know the width of the strut...

    Anyone ditched a Max Coupler in favor of a pintle?

    Agreed. I am in the process of getting the parts to swap over. I’ll deal with a few bumps in exchange for the pain I’ve had for a couple of weeks now. My only towing experience with a pintle is a 5-ton dump truck with a tractor behind about 25 years ago. It was hard to tell what noise was the...

    Looking for ideas: Flexible Solar Panel Stand

    Lay it on the ground or hang from clothesline with little clips? If not clothespins, then I’ve found binder clips from office supply stores to be really useful.

    Does anyone own an iKamper Aiok kitchen box?

    I don’t own one, and never plan to, but my initial thought was that it looks like an extremely expensive rolling file box, like the kind attorneys take to court. You might start there (Office Depot?) to see if it even has a chance of working for you, with respect to size…. And that would be...

    Securing RTT to trailer unistrut

    All of my tents have ridden around just fine using 1/4-20 StrutNuts and Grade 5 bolts with fender washers on the tent floor side. M8 is thicker than1/4. Alignment is much easier with the plastic cone nuts than the plain or the ones with springs. I wouldn’t try to go all the way through...

    trying to work out how to Jeep camp with my 5 year old and 8 month old

    Completely agreed! And a few additions: 1). Most kids don’t really appreciate the sweeping scenery, the technical prowess of driving a tough trail, or the gear-geeky ness of east set up and collapse of camp. They do love spending a day throwing rocks at an angry river, looking at bugs under a...

    trying to work out how to Jeep camp with my 5 year old and 8 month old

    I’ve been camping with my kids (3 of them now) out of a JKUR for 8 years. I guess I would ask how much stuff you think you “need”? Having a cargo shelf in the back to reduce stacking stuff definitely helped set up and teardown, and I’ve been through a few different iterations of RTT, Trailer...

    Drawers: Metal vs. wood

    It would be interesting to hear what his reasoning was. Getting thin 3/4 is not always easy, round seems easier to find in thin walls, but square certainly makes for easier layout and fabrication…If you can’t find thin, the weight builds up really fast. Of course, the final layout and use has...
