That Nacho looks like a rebranded Auxbeam. Even the sticker pack looks the same.

The Auxbeam switch has solid state relays, at least the AS series I bought. Quick glance through their site, I think they all are. One pro/con I have heard discussed about mechanical vs solid state relays, in the context of offroad rigs, is that if a mechanical relay goes bad, it is a quick...

I need to tidy up my wire bundles yet. The hose for the ARB is a bit long, but that is what I had on hand. It goes to an outlet on the cowl. Both the 813 mounts were easy to install. The pump mount takes a little creativity to set the bottom bolt, but he gives you hints on how to do that in...

Here is my power distribution setup. If I need to get at the battery, I can discount neg and pos leads, undo the two bolts on the fender, flip the whole assembly to the outside. I leave enough slack in the lines to do that. My goal was to isolate all accessory circuits. Prior experience with...

We got to the mine, but because of time and weather we held off going up the short distance to the fish pond. One of the guys is an avid fly fisherman. Really wanted to razz him by going there. :)

I lead a group over a short segment of the AZ Peace Trail the week of President's Day (15th-20th) Left Kingman on Sunday am. Came out in Parker Friday night. Following is an edited version I posted to the Peace Trail's FB forum. This trail was originally setup by SxS groups, so parts of it are...

Already did one trip to western AZ a couple weeks ago. (It has been acting like spring here in MT.) Over the Haulapai Mtns from Kingman to Alamo Lake then over to the Swansea area. Parts of the AZ Peace Trail. April is a trip to Death Valley area. Slate Mtns, Ballarat, Pleasant Canyon, South...

Agreed on getting it weighed. This was just a random exercise to give me an ballpark idea. There's a public scale nearby. I just have not hit it when loaded and it is open. And I am a bit above that standard driver number. :)

Thanks! Did not realize that.

Ran some numbers on my 2025 Willys out of curiosity. Wanted to know what my typical load was for weeklong camping trips. Likely the food/camping gear number is low. (With the wife along, we carry way too much junk!) This was a bit wild when I added it all up. Did not include the wheels, tires...

Still common in rural Montana at least. Kind of rude if you don't wave when driving anything but the main roads here. Usually just 2-4 fingers raised from the steering wheel as you pass. And we have problems with 'traffic jams' all the time. Folks stop and chat for 30-40 minutes. Last spring we...

Looks good! Congrats!

I had no idea what a Micro2 was! From Google... " In summary: "Micro" is a family term for sub-miniature fuses, while "Micro2" is a specific, widely used two-prong, 5-30A fuse standard in newer vehicles. They are not interchangeable with other types like Mini or standard ATO/ATC fuses. " Have...

You can get a fuse tap at just about any auto store. Micro size fuse. Tap into the "cigar" fuse in your fuse box. I cannot recall the number off the top of my head, but there is a diagram on the inside of the lid to the fuse box. Fuse taps are simple. Pull the fuse from your fuse box. Plug in...

Thanks! Yes, I assembled the Deck system myself. Easy install. Another set of hands would have helped but easy to leverage it up into the bed by myself. Putting it in before I put on the SmartCap would have been a whole lot easier! Had to crawl in to get to the corner turnbuckles.

I made a loop out of bright orange tape with a snap. Put it around the steering wheel with text "UNPLUG!" written on it. This after the wife 'missed' seeing the card on the dash.

Sumo vs Timbren? Have used the Timbren's on several trucks and SUVs and been happy.

2025 Willys here. Mine were in that bundle in your photo. Had to peel back a feel layers of the fabric tape.

I put on a RSI Defender (model with no windows) last summer. Love mine. It has been a great addition. Assembled it in my garage solo. A second set of hands definitely would have helped! And definitely needed help putting it on the bed. I could get under it and lift, but maneuvering it onto the...
