  1. Big aux battery for overlanding?

    The 'teacher notes' was to make it easier to understand what I was responding to, not to come across as a 'teacher'. I dont know about you but I appreciate it when a community of people weigh in on a question that I ask as it helps me make the right decision for me based on experiences of...
  2. Big aux battery for overlanding?

    Mmmmm..... I have some comments in red here. This is just my .02. I dont mean to discount or talk bad about a lithium system or a persons choice to use lithium, but there is a lot of bad info out there and unnecessary 'hate' for AGM without valid or true reasoning IMO. Lithium is great in...
  3. Come on, do something.

    Just be careful. I'm not as old as the other two but I'm old enough, and body is broken enough, to have realized much of my early days of life was spent far too much at work, and not enough making a life. You dont want to have regrets like that when your retired. A person can always make more...
  4. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Well that is great to hear despite the sad news. Loss is tough, theres no easy way about it. But hopefully soon all that will remain is the happy good memories and none of the sad. If it were me, I would be taking a trip to my dad's favorite place. For whatever that is worth to you. Cheers...
  5. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Oh man..... I'm sorry, terrible news. I know words dont help much, but I hope some Jeep therapy helps to give your soul some peace it needs. And nice sticker on the side mirror.
  6. RTT and canopy turned camper

    Hey Mike would you be willing to share with me the width of your bench seat (the part on the right side of the canopy) as well as the foot room or knee room between edge of seat and the face of the cabinets, and then the depth of the counter top? I just want to try and see space wise what your...
  7. RTT and canopy turned camper

    Is there by any chance anyone out there with rendering/drawing skills willing to assist in visualizing a few ideas? Here's an example of something Jeff did for me a long time ago.
  8. RTT and canopy turned camper

    This did make me think a little more about the situation as lay awake at 0200. The tent - for sure. I probably will end up sticking with the one I have since they are supposedly sending a new mattress and new fabric. But I also like the 23zero copy. I have modified mine for the hinges to be...
  9. RTT and canopy turned camper

    Maybe if I was using lithium, but that would extend my wire run pretty significantly. Remember my main distribution block is all in the right rear of the bed. I just finished rewiring a bunch of stuff and would like to find a way to make that work. As for the water can's, I purposefully stuck...
  10. Aging Mopar lift needing replacement

    That looks like a 7" lift. Either that or your on stock 33's. Man I would not be a happy person if I paid thousands of bucks to have something way higher than advertised. I think the consensus is Clayton and almost all of the other lift companies have a net result that is 1-2 inches taller...
  11. RTT and canopy turned camper

    I was definitely thinking of doing this, but I need to sort out a few of the existing mounting locations of some items first to somewhat free up some space.
  12. RTT and canopy turned camper

    That is most likely what I will end up doing. I just need to find ones that work, and probably get a couple of them to stack together. I tried a different solution a few months ago and it really didn't work out how I had hoped. Part of the issue too though is I have far too many tools than I...
  13. RTT and canopy turned camper

    I am definitely not planning on rushing this. Although I would love to have it ready for this summer, more realistically it will be next winter's project. It makes sense about 'starting over' but I hope to find a way to not have to completely do that since it is costly and time consuming. But...
  14. Gladiator Expedition Rigs

    It's really too bad too. Looks like a remake of the old Toyota Chinook camper It's a shame too. I would bet a years salary that all the work involved and needed to force these EPA regulations from environmentalists actually causes more environmental harm than would a European version of the...
  15. RTT and canopy turned camper

    Since much of this inspiration has come from @Mules project, I wanted to steel from his thread to discuss a few topics while I wait on answers from a fabricator and develop/design the layout. Since I don't have rendering skills, or CAD, I stole this drawing above to reference from. I like the...
  16. Come on, do something.

    Yeah sounds all too familiar. Same story here despite being a different agency.
  17. RTT and canopy turned camper

    Yeah man is it a tough decision. One thing about the pass-through on any vehicle that is a huge downfall is the extra noise. I have heard a lot of van-lifers talk about that, or those with the big fancy RV's. Every clank of your dishes in the back can be heard up front. So one has to really...
  18. Come on, do something.

    Let me guess. "That's operator level maintenance". :LOL: Man I can't count the number of times the Lockheed contractors I worked with used that line on some super technical stuff those of us with a TS clearance still didn't get the info on to actually fix things. Sounds like the DoD civ...
  19. Help me Decide - DIY Mopar Lift or AEV Dualsport

    Here is what I did Post 49, 65 https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/destination-unknown-2022-jtr-journal.66430/page-4 I just got home from a 900 mile round trip today (all in the same day), and considering my medical issues practically zero driver fatigue in some windy and bad road...
  20. RTT and canopy turned camper

    I have made the decision. It is happening. Thanks to @WILDHOBO for the encouragement to go wild and crazy. Also thanks to inspiration from @Mules who has a great thread of good info (page-39) and @Dan Grec. I love my tent, aside form the mold situation. I also really like my canopy, despite...
