Yep - see page 4 of the owner manual:

I know you have used the MORryde side water cans that you designed on other treks. Why not this one? Looks like they carry a bit more water, which might come in handy in a place with the word "Death" in the name. :) Just curious, since I figure you have a good reason that I might learn from!

Huh - never realized the e-brake could be so helpful when making a right turn in my Rubicon. Need to give that a try . . .

Thanks for the info! Yes . . . "fully loaded" is how I typically roll. I'm going to keep an eye out for the release of the new HC Suspension System. It will be my SECOND upgrade in 2018. First I have to switch to different tube steps. My current set was NOT the right choice . . . they are...

Yes - CFX50. But I the slide also fits the CFX65.

Thanks again to everyone for all of the input on this concept! I ultimately decided to go in a different direction to achieve the goal of a very quick and reversible installation for the fridge slide. I do a lot of extreme off-road trail days, so I didn't want to commit to an extensive fridge...

I wanted to share the quick-mount design I built for my fridge and cargo shelf. The fridge and slide are sold by Dometic and the rack is an Olympic 4x4 kit that I modified. Both the fridge slide and the cargo rack can be installed and removed in under five minutes, with just five bolts. My...

OK- here's the trail report. It's a good thing I took the tent and the bazooka cargo tube off. I encountered a lot of challenging trails, and the extra weight on the roof would have made it difficult to manage some of the off-camber situations. I did put the hardtop and doors back on before...

Thanks for bumping this thread. I actually spent a few hours yesterday working on a custom mounting for my Dometic fridge and slide-out tray. I decided NOT to design a hanging mount system. I got worried about lateral stress in off-camber situations, as you mentioned in a PM. But fridge...

Hmmmm is right. SEMA. Vegas. I bet there's showgirls in there . . .

Yeah - I wondered that too. And what happens if you have a couple tent windows open but a heavy fog rolls in? Crazy, I know. But atmospheric conditions can change dramatically (part of the reason we all love the outdoors). Maybe a small USB fan would make a huge difference?

OK - as promised, more research on this today. Good news - I'm going to consider this case CLOSED for me. I downloaded the user manual and found this on page 2: So yes, if not properly vented with sufficient combustion air, you will die. Thanks everyone for sharing your input and...

I agree. The danger is REAL. I put in another hour of research on this topic today. Will do some more work tomorrow and report back here. In the meantime, I found this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yPmH1ix2OeU&feature=youtu.be Skip to 13:30!

I checked the speed rating, load rating and index on my tires. They are R, E and 121. That means 10-ply, 80psi, 106mph and 3,107 pounds capacity. So I think the tires can handle WAY more than the GAWR. Two additional observations: 1) I've been looking at a lot of the AEV custom build...

What is the by-product of a burning candle? Isn't some amount of carbon monoxide produced? I would think a burning candle makes ventilation mandatory, whereas the propane heaters make venting optional, based upon how wet you are willing to get with condensation build up.

OK - I did some more searching online, and I can't find a case where something went wrong with a propane heater as long as these two conditions were met: 1) The space where the heater is used is properly vented (technically not a requirement for propane heaters, but it helps manage the...

Here's the first thing I thought of when I saw the design. It's almost like AEV wanted it to look IED-proof . . .

Maybe jscherb can get us the specs sheet so we can all get to work building one . . .

Yes - lots of deaths each year from improper use of generators. Especially after hurricanes and floods. But I searched online and couldn't find any stories of people dying in tents, campers or ice fishing huts while using propane heaters.? Does that mean these products (like Mr. Heater) are...

Good lord - and here I was worried that I was already 100 pounds over the GAWR of my JKU due to the AEV bumpers and skid plates. No WAY that build is 5.700 pounds or less! Would love to see pictures of the interior . . . and the price tag!
