    98 Jeep ZJ "SHTFV"

    Solar saved me! I was so excited to have solar panels. I couldn't wait to head out to the desert and run the fridge and and maybe some music all day and not worry about the battery anymore. Well, my life didn't feel the same way I guess, because work got busy, real busy. My Jeep sat there...

    Time to go Solar! It has been quite some time since I have posted some real content in our thread. Truth be told, we have been dealing with some family health issues along with a demanding schedule at work. This has left no time for me to get on and share our progress. On that note, I will get...

    The XV-JP Needs Help, Please, from a Jeep Aerodynamicist. (Really)

    a very quick and inexpensive test you can do would be a mountain bike inner tube or two? Just slide them up there and add air. We used to do this between cab and bed of trucks with stereo boxes that pass through. It worked well as an insulator. It may have an effect on wind noise?

    Custom RTT Rack... Why don't I see this?

    Hi Jake! Your new rack design looks cool! The biggest issue I see and as you mentioned is the zipper factor. I store stuff front and back of my tent as well, and I have to remove it to get the zipper undone every time. Also, you may be mindful of the rods that come off the bottom of the tent to...
