    JKU Rhino Pioneer Rack system?

    It was in my initial post. Now I probably won't even do the solar panel.

    JKU Rhino Pioneer Rack system?

    Interesting chain of events there. I just got back from a week overlanding (Kentucky Adventure Trail) in 20 degree temps. I slept inside on the right while my fridge and gear were on the left. I fit just fine. What was bothering me was having to put the starlink up on the roof to get a good...

    JKU Rhino Pioneer Rack system?

    That's just a rebranded Rhino right?

    JKU Rhino Pioneer Rack system?

    I finally have a house with a 8' garage door and looking at expedition racks to hold a solar panel, traction boards, starlink, and roto-pax. The JK pioneer kit looks pretty good. Any one with first hand experience? Or should I look at something else? I'm looking at the Rhino Rack Pioneer 5...

    Best water containers for truck bed?

    143 gallons? Plus I'd pop that with the ladders I carry in the bed for work. How about a 2-5 gallon plastic container that won't tip over?

    Best water containers for truck bed?

    I want to keep some water containers in the front of my truck bed full time. Something low and flat that won't tumble all over the place. Can handle freezing. I was reading up on water bricks, then found reviews saying aqua bricks are better. But both are years old in coverage online. Maybe...

    Super budget trailer ideas? I know there's runaway...

    I have thought about that. I'm quite handy- so I could insulate it, roof AC, I already have a Honda 2000. Then I could build out the solar/battery/inverter system. I can't be rolling around on little 14" trailer wheels though. Maybe but a beefy 45 degree drop Dexter axle in it and 30's?

    Super budget trailer ideas? I know there's runaway...

    So several of my overland fellas are pulling Runaway trailers- very affordable. Basically a climate controlled box to sleep in. I'd like something very similar but they only have 4 and 6 foot widths. I think 5x8 is the right size for me. Plus I would love to have a rear galley area which those...

    Best privacy tent/shower/toilet enclosure? Best compact "toilet" for WAG bags?

    I ordered the clean waste toilet, I already have the bags. I'm thinking for my next solo overland trip to pack the family 6 person REI tent and use that instead of my 2-person sized ultra-light backpacking tent and also setting up a toilet privy. Until I get to the point where I have the gear...

    Best privacy tent/shower/toilet enclosure? Best compact "toilet" for WAG bags?

    Well in a crowded parking lot or group camping area, there's no digging holes. But privacy tents are all over the place.

    Best privacy tent/shower/toilet enclosure? Best compact "toilet" for WAG bags?

    That looks perfect for me but I can’t find one. Amazon and Walmart out of stock. Seems the truckers are buying them up according to reviews. Upon further review, it's been discontinued.

    Best privacy tent/shower/toilet enclosure? Best compact "toilet" for WAG bags?

    Looks like Nemo Heliopolis is the privacy tent to get. I like to get good stuff. I got more research to do.... The 3 legged thing is the clean waste suitcase right? Do you like the restop wags better than clean waste?

    Best privacy tent/shower/toilet enclosure? Best compact "toilet" for WAG bags?

    After the last multi-day off-road rally I attended with group Porta-pottys, I'm going to be bringing my own. I have a Jeep, so space is tight. I want a privacy shelter to set up along with my tent (yes, I'm a tenter). Easy set up and break down, good in wind, and if I can use a shower in it...

    Fridge mount for F150 bed?

    In my 2018 I used 4 L-track domes and bolted them through the bed. It worked, but I had to drill 8 holes in the bed and the domes were something to deal with when sliding cargo in and out of the truck. Are there more elegant solutions for my 2023?

    Ideas for cargo in back of Jeep- adding slides for boxes and fridge?

    I have a 4 door Wrangler (JKU). It currently has a 3/4" plywood platform bolted down. I have the ARB 50qt fridge with quick release tie downs. I'm now wanting to get a cargo slide for the other side so I can stack in boxes (maybe frontrunner type) and pull them out. I also want a good solution...

    Your favorite ground tent that will fit in a Jeep?

    I need a tent that will fit in the back of the Jeep, is heavy duty, fast/easy to set up, and tall enough to sleep on a cot. I have a tent collection, but they're super light weight backpacking tents or I have a jumbo 6 person REI dome tent which takes too long to set up solo. I really like the...

    ARB threaded power outlet- what kind of plug and where to get another one?

    I was planning to use an all-in-one lithium battery thing (I hate calling them "solar generators") like a bluetti or Anker. Good point, I wonder if the plug can be opened and upgraded to 8 gauge wire.

    ARB threaded power outlet- what kind of plug and where to get another one?

    I have my Jeep wired with the ARB threaded outlet (ARB 10900027). I'm planning the best way to run a Lithium battery bank to power the fridge, then use the ARB outlet to charge the battery while driving. I'd rather drain the lithium than my Jeep battery. Is there anywhere in the industry to buy...

    Is the roof tent trend over?

    My overlanding set up. In all fairness to RTT's, my brother had one on a Tacoma in NorCal and told me he and his wife woke up to a bear ripping open the cooler and popping his collection of Bud Lights. He had the muddy paw prints on the cooler to prove it. He was happy to be off the ground.
