I had my ARB mounted in my trailer for a couple of years. No worries on durability; did fine. Now I have it mounted in my JK; sooooo much better for how we overland. We sometimes leave the trailer at a remote camp site and drive off without it; so having it in the vehicle is better. Also, the...

Some possible answers... Hello JOXS2... All good questions, but specific and solid answers require us to know "what" type/design/make of trailer we are talking about. Here's some general answers: 1) Lots of folks put their Roof Top Tents (RTTs) on their trailers. It's easier to get in/out - not...

I personally have (literally) every off-road tire deflators on the market. If you wish to have "Automatic" style (all four tires at once/don't have to tend them), then these are my pick and the ones I recommend to my students: http://www.coyoteents.com/deflators-sizes-and-specifications.html...

Forgot to mention... I also have a spare cover with zipper I'll include in the price.

I have an ARB Simpson III Roof Top Tent for sale in Northern California (Gridley). Asking $900; very good shape with brand new cover and zippers. I am writing a series of "InfoBooks" on 4WD training, one being on overlanding. For this book, I now need photos of a hard-top/clamshell style tent -...

These are WONDERFUL overlanding trailers! If I had to do it all again, XVenture trailers would be one of my top considerations. Congrats XV enture for building a finely crafted and well thought out trailer!

Now... if you decide to purchase a Hi-Lift Jack, I personally would never mount it inside my vehicle since if you really use it, it will get very dirty, muddy, etc. Also, it's so heavy should you roll (no matter how it's mounted inside your vehicle), it could become lethal. I like the options...

IMHO, before you decide to purchase/secure a Hi-Lift Jack, do you really need one? Or, is your purchase based on "everyone else has one." Your stock jack may be perfect (and perhaps safer) in most situations. If you add a lift to your JK, then you do need a way to "reach" the vehicle with your...

Dear Jeep Skunk Design Team, pay attention... Please, Please, Please don't abandon us as LR and Toyota has. Don't buckle to IFS or IRS, or eliminate other Jeep Wrangler legacy valued design points – removable top/doors, and an erector-set approach to adding aftermarket parts/buildups. If...

Very good info from everyone; and thanks! I switched in both of my off-road vehicles to the Sears Diehard Platinum's some years ago. I switched from Optima. Four years ago, with a brand new Optima in my TJ, it melted down in a millisecond. First my Check Gages light came on, then "poof" my...

For the full low-down... Hello srschick... You ask GREAT questions about the Hi-Lift Jack. Really, the complete story (answering your questions and those you don't know to ask) and use of the Jack is in a chapter of the new book I'm writing for Overlanders and Off-Roaders. If you would like a...

I too have a JKU Rubicon; but a 2013 so I don't have the rear speaker problem. I could not Overland without my ARB Fridge. (Well, I could, but it would not be as easy. I hate nursing ice when on a long backcountry excursion.) My ARB makes ice when I turn the temp down; have to be careful with my...

Curtis... Do you have a photo of your privacy hoola hoop and shower curtain idea? Would love to see it. I have a pop-up privacy enclosure that I sit right next to the shower box.

Hello Curtis in Texas... Thanks for the post reply. Yep, I'm really happy with the way the Pelican case Shower Box turned out. It's a quick set up. That said, I want to give a hat tip to 60Dan here on the Portal, and the ingeneous guys at AT - Adventure Trailers. I saw their kitchen box (Pelican...

No worry of heat on plastic... Hello Brian... Good thought, and thanks for your concern. Are you familiar with the Triton hot water shower unit? I engineered the system so that the Triton camp shower is never used when the Pelican case/box is closed. In fact, you have to be "camped" to connect...

More Photos - Shower Box Here's more images...

I was tired of dragging out my tankless hot water shower from the inside of my trailer and it's storage box. I was also tired of setting it up, plus connecting it to water and propane (there was almost always leaks due to my set up haste). Typically, this effort would take about 10+ minutes...

60Dan... Very (VERY) nice rig. Were you at CruiserFest? Where's this photo taken? How's your kitchen box working out for you? We find ours is so convenient and easy. Cheers mate...

Nice tug vehicle and tailer Mizzle. Do you head into the Sierra's much? I see you ventured above Downieville; I've been up there many times myself. If you are interested in wheeling together, send me a message back. Regards, Bob
