I've got 4 rotopax cans and mounts now. I thought they were stupidly spendy, but..... Over time, they have proven to be amazingly adaptable and useful for fuel, water, diesel (for my teardrop diesel heater) etc. I picked up 2 of their gas cans on sale last spring with mounts for $99 bucks so...

I have the upper switch bank. In addition to being easier to manipulate at night, the standard size let me replace one of them with a USB dual outlet for my phone and gps tablet. No more cords hanging off the dash! I drilled the switch panel and installed 67 designs 20mm mounts on each end...

The RC switch covers are replaceable. Just pop them off and replace with blanks or custom. Super easy. I have the RC kit and like it...

I can't speak to the espar or wabasto models but I have two diesel heaters. I've got one (2kw) in my teardrop trailer and a 5kw in my workspace. Since the euro and Chinese models share the same form factor (size, etc) you can use the information available on the web (mostly YouTube) as a good...

Thought I'd post a quick opinion piece about my roof top tent mount saga for those contemplating that direction... The tent we have is the Smittybilt gen II standard (not XL) mounted so it folds out over the back, not the side. Reason for the tent is to add a bedroom for our 13 year old monster...

Made up a mic mount the other day: Came out pretty good. I'm happy with it. I have two mics, cb/gmrs, so I made the basic mount plus a bolt-on extender to hold both. The extender uses the small machine screws that attach the mic-holder on the base mount... Radios are piggybacked to a floor...

The Iron Rock kit comes with shock extension brackets. The whole kit is as nice as I've seen. You will need to add bump stop spacers. Either theirs or other 2".

I have a jtr. I'm running an "Iron Rock" 2 inch spacer lift with shock extensions. I would never argue that one or the other is "better". That being said, for my use, I find the spacer lift with stock suspension is just fine for me. It rides and drives as stock. I like the extra clearance and...

Yeah...I'll pick up a grommet for it. I've got a few but they are all too big. I considered just silicone'ing it in, but I want to be able to just pop the wire out if I need to...

I've been unsatisfied with my sketchy xm dropouts since I got my Gladiator and determined to fix the problem with a better antenna. After much research, rumination and addition of the Mopar snorkel, I decided to just move the stock xm antenna off the sports bar and see what happened. I won't...

Overlanding isn't a definition, it's a lifestyle. I like my trailer because of so many upside's there are too many to post. I think that it's important to mention that for many of us, the "overlanding" part first requires a couple thousand miles of "getting to" the places we overland in. For...

Wisconsin.... Close to the twin cities/MN line.

Norco RULES! 3 year old Norco Bigfoot fattie....

Don't know what "SMH" is. As to TMI.... I like to read and also give my real world experience. Some of the wrangler folks got downright confrontational about even the mention of cross section. That's not a problem for me, but it's unfortunate that everything has to be an issue for some. When...

I was mentioning Gale Banks earlier. Check out his video on YouTube about, oddly enough, differential covers. While it's clear that he's selling something, it's still interesting to see his tests of differential oil temperature while towing. That's something most of us don't think about. Food...

Take a look in the owner's manual at frontal cross section. I got run out of the wrangler forum on a rail for mentioning it, but the science is unavoidable. For those of us who like to get down in the scientific weeds on everything, Gale Banks has done some really interesting towing tests of...

It's not difficult to add a brake controller on vehicles not equipped from the factory. I added one on my JLUR. You've got 4 wires: One goes from the brake controller to the 7 way plug for brakes. (10 gauge wire). Two wires connect directly to the battery. (10 gauge wire). The hardest part (not...

My JL had, and my JTR has the biggest, most obnoxious rearview mirror of any vehicle I've ever had. Lucky for me, I have the low-brow cheapo manual version RVM without any wires. They just pop off. First thing I did with both vehicles was to take them off. I couldn't see around them without...

I think that after many trips across Ks, Ne, SD, Ok I can confirm that 100% of the time, the wind of Satan will be a headwind, no matter which way you are headed. Some day, I'm going to do a u-turn to confirm, but I'll bet its going to be headwind in both directions.....

Not sure if this applies here as the thread seems to be about coolant issues. I had a long-running code for misfire. I believe it was P0300. The code showed up at a couple hundred miles and was there for nearly a year. Took it back multiple times. Last month the dealer had it for a week and...
