My first experience with the Alu-Cab canopies was on our first overlanding trip to Africa where we rented an outfitted 79 Series 4x4 with an Alu-Cab canopy with a RTT (https://bushlore.com/). The fact that these canopies are in a rental fleet said a lot and that’s why I picked one up when it...

Who doesn’t have a “project” or three? 🤣

I had the very first Alu-Cab camper installed by AVO. It is still working great and I have zero issues with it.

Now I can understand why a shop charges so much for this install!

Chances are that the scratch is so minor that even if someone else is going to paint it it will not result in a complete repaint of the fender… I’ve used this compny to get matching touch up paint and it works good...

OK guys I think Dan has gotten the message how everyone feels. I think he was just thinking outside the box and was wondering if anyone had come up with a viable solution he had not thought of. Im sure he puts his family safety above all else.

I think you’re referring to AMW not AEV… https://amw4x4.com/

Howdy neighbor! Given your situation where 99% of your driving will be on paved roads you can choose any of your options and be fine. If, as you mentioned, you’ll most likely be going to 35” tires then the 4:10 gearing will be your friend. There are those who say otherwise but since the...

It is. I mentioned to Dan if there is a possibility of installing a bench seat but he didn’t think so. Has anyone else heard of that possibility?

Merry Christmas Eric!

If you have been on the fence Harbor Freight has been having their 12 days of Christmas sale where one item is drastically reduced and today (and today only) the Apex winch with synthetic rope is $399! This is the day to treat yourself! Merry Christmas!

Not speaking for Eric but we’ve taken ferries from Marsaille France to Algiers and from Tunis, Tunisia to Genoa Italy.

Maybe they’re making room for the 5.7!! Don't shoot me. TK told me so! Haha

There re a lot of guys that have navigated Overlanding in Africa (including me). As with any place in the world there are places to go and places to avoid. The key is doing your homework and from their past travels it certainly seems that they know how to do that. There is also another guy that...

Love that last picture!

According to a friend in the “biz” there has been a trend over the last decade or so to run the engines hotter to improve fuel economy. I’m sure this is fine for the average driver but when you start playing at the edges by doing things like hauling heavier loads or super charging then helping...

I finally found the original thread… https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/so-i-built-a-rear-seat-delete-platform-for-less-than-100.36228/

If you look up my old thread on the subject you’ll find that I (and Goose Gear) use 1/2” Baltic birch plywood. This is not the plywood that you get at your big box store. It is what is used to make high grade cabinets. The wood had 7 or 8 plies instead of 3 or 4 and comes in 5’ by 5’ sheets. You...

If you look back on this forum I posted a thread a few years ago about building one for less than $100 in wood. I’m sure the price has skyrocketed since then but the price Goose Gear was and is still asking is just ridiculous. I’m glad to see other companies stepping in and offering other...

I have a second battery (100AH lithium) that is set up in the bed of my truck that is charged through a Redarc BCDC controller and can be charged when the truck is running via the alternator or solar if I’m parked for several days. I’ve taken 6 week trips and it has held up great running my...
