The "statement" is accurate, it did lose the connection for manual control, important in some but not all situations. As I stated it did still function with last saved settings.
The new app is very intrusive from the privacy standpoint but not I am not too paranoid about it. I just don't think...
I would stay away from the curt blue tooth, left me without a remote connection one time due to a phone app update being required. It did work with last settings.
Since you specifically mentioned the slide out kitchen I'll fill in some more details.
It worked ok but the add on shelf for work space was always a pain to deal with. Had to be removed from storage spot to access fridge. Was smaller than I needed anyway so just left at home.
The stove was...
I have gone through a few options:
Intech Pursue. I really like the Intechs, we just wanted something with more headroom. The back barn doors may not latch and come open going down the road if you are not careful. Not an issue if you get the ramp. The original design for the kitchens can also...
Other than standard tool kit...
App for navigation without cell service: Avensa, Gaia, Onx, etc. and download the maps.
App to ID stars and constellations.
You may not have pit toilets, so wag bags.
What is your route out?
If going the southern route maybe Palo Duro Canyon could be a...
Back in the covid days the original owner had to buy the uncoated version and did a DIY coating. Still adheres well but wearing. Transitioned to a cap so no longer use.
With mounts for bed track.
Driving in follow the river to Moab on 128, gps usually takes you by the airport on 191. They filmed Horizon in the area of 128.
On 128, Onion Creek is a nice easy trail, not technical but the scenery is good. Its probably out and back that time of year. Also Dome Plateau Overlook is an option...
Can an awning be attached to the drop rack? (ARB).
Is the weight capacity the same as the standard rack?
Gladiator dimension, L - 51.18, W - 51.18, H - 5.5
Would a longer one work ? L - 59.45, W - 51.18, H - 5.51
The lesson I learned on my first trip is you don't need a modified jeep to have fun out there. It can improve the trip as you have noted but I continually run into people who say they can't afford Moab but spend thousands on their jeep.
That said I did put an ICON lift on mine before the last...
I always charge my Jackory using the AC Since the charging input is current limited. The ac brick puts out 19v vrs the 12v from the cigarette lighter so more charging watts from the ac plug
Obviously depends on your route selection but I highly recommend Highway 12 through from Torrey through Escalante either to or from Bryce. Don't have any good pics on 12, was raining/snowing on our trip in March. We drove it from Bryce to Green River. (The Green River Holiday Inn is new and the...
If you are going 70 west from Moab, Black Dragon wash pictographs are a short side trip and an interesting trail through the San Rafael Reef. Who knew the early residents of that area had TV's.
some rack systems are based on t slot extruded aluminum. I have used it to add to my billie bar setup to have a small rtt at bed level and awning and shower on the sides...
