You could buy tire chains and get a similar effect, fitted to your rig, for less $$, but I suspect they are not as easy to store as something rigid, in that they take up space inside versus bolted outside.

I’ve built a lot of stairs,catwalks, etc... from it. It is heavy. It might work, but probably not well for the weight and cost. Your best bet would be to take the raised edges off and serrat the “back” so that you have two traction surfaces, but then it won’t be very rigid... or weld two...

I was pretty sure it meant “I got mad enough to shoot at it...and nothing changed! Must be bullet proof” Been there... not quite done that... but I did have a few moments when I wished it would catch fire and burn down completely!

It isn’t impossible to run a 6.0 liter. I’ve put well over 100k on mine with only 3 major repairs, one of which was just stupid to have to do. Due to the opinions listed above, they can be had at a really nice discount over some of the others. However, if you don’t do your own work, or you...

I have no issues on rough terrain with RTT. Kukenam, Gobi, JKUR, 2.5”, stock wheels and tires. If you are within that marginal line where the tent causes or contributes to a flop, you were already too close to the edge of the envelope for my taste. This weekend I got into some rougher than...

Fuel pressure regulator? I know nothing about Mitsubishi systems, but it sounds like a pressure or slightly less likely spark issue.

Thanks. I much prefer the subtle light to the alien landing scenario. They are plenty bright to cook or make camp though. Somewhere between big flashlight and Coleman lantern. Yes, the brackets are some scrap I had left from a project. They are 1x3 tube that I had ripped into “L” profiles...

Cut small pieces of sidewall from an old tire or a piece of conveyor belt. Or rubber flooring, or the sole of a shoe, or drain plugs from a sink. Or fat o-rings....

So, it got dark out and I had the Jeep open. Here are the side lights only, from about 30’ away. Here are the side lights with the rear LED strip on the glass too:

Initially, I only switched them from inside the rear hatch, where my RTT power and Tail Glass LED strip switches are. Now I’m wishing more often I could use them from the drivers seat, so I will probably double feed them with another switch too. They effectively light the ground from about 12”...

What type or brand of panels are those on your RTT? They appear to be semi-flexible? How are they working out, and how did you attach them?

Nobody else cares about your stuff as much as you do. Take the time to do the research, learn the process, and do the work yourself. Electrical tools are cheap and simple to use, and you can have a little pride in the job. More importantly, YOU will know how to troubleshoot and repair...

In addition to the obvios winch, PTO could run a snowplow down pressure unit, a set of leveling jacks, any number of tools off the rear bumper, augers, tilt beds, steering assist, etc... They are really work truck options, but also something you can use to be much more awesome than the other...

Mounts are very important, not just for the projectile, but for vibration. In my college days, I used to keep an extinguisher sort of bouncing around on the back seat / floor of my blazer. One day driving down the highway I hear a pop, a whoosh, and I’m treated to a noxious cloud of death...

I did 6 little fish eye individual single led lenses off amazon. Bought a 10 pack, got 6 to work, but the cost was 10 bucks. Built some brackets so they point down about 30 degrees from vertical. They clamp to the rack tube. I spent 3x as much on wire and brackets as lights, plus a $6...

Thanks for the link. I wouldn’t have drilled that. Those brackets clamp onto a pinch weld, pinch welds are imprecise at best. Start with everything loose and bolted up then tighten as you go. On mine, there is maybe a 1/8-3/16 “ difference in the tower height side to side. The bar across...

I suspect that the video probably wasn’t exactly accurate, and that when you get your rack, assuming you told them about your AEV bumper when you ordered, everything will line up just fine. I am curious though, if you could find the video again and link it, I would like to watch it.

Not that it has anything to do with your ability to get a refund, but where are you having to drill now? I bought the Gobi years ago thinking the no-drill would be great, only to be disappointed by the number of glue-on parts where there is body contact. At the time, I was annoyed, but the...

Once the kid hits 3-4 and can climb a ladder you hit the sweet spot. Start saving now, and buy your first tent used. Your kids will love it. It is like the blanket fort you always tried to build at that age!

Why not an option? My kids love the RTT, and, while my wife is a reluctant camper, there is not a snowballs chance she is camping in any other tent.
