JCR bumper kits welded and finished by me. JCR XJ roof rack. Custom built swing out tire carrier by me. 31x10.5x15 Wildpeak tires. 2" lift, Fox shocks.

Mine is a Tab A 8" SM-T350. I've been using it for over a year now with BCN Pro. I haven't had any problems with the GPS. You will have to download the the maps to have access to them without WiFi.

Samsung regularly has tablets on sale for under $100. I recently picked up two Samsung 7" Galaxy Tab A LTEs for $90 at Best Buy. I supply them to my techs loaded with parts and instruction manuals. With a good case they hold up very well. I use the 8" version with BCN in my Jeep.

That depends on what you are fishing for...;)

Best advice I can give: Be a parent, not a best friend. This is the important one. It's not your job to be their friend. It's your job to raise a productive, responsible, member of society. It's OK if they don't like you very much on occasion. Be consistent. Lay down the law and stick with it...

I can do that, but it may take a couple of days.

I bought the C20 from Amazon for $239. It's not large, but it's big enough for me when I'm out by myself. It's also large enough for a water bottle to stand up inside. The smaller one isn't. It weighs about 1/3 of my Basecamp 43qt. The problem with it was the location of the temperature sensor...

I bought one. It works pretty well but required some adjustment to get it to work properly. The temp sensor for the thermostat was mounted too close to the cooling coil causing it to short cycle. After modification, it works perfectly so far.

Pull the radiator. It doesn't take long to get out and makes everything else go a lot faster. The fan clutch tools can be rented from most auto parts stores.

The trailer is about 1000 pounds, the car about 1500, so 2500 pounds. The 4.0 has gobs of torque and moves it a long very well. It's nice and stable as well. The only reason it's squatting that much is the back was full of crap as well.

I did make it work hard this weekend. No great camping trip, just to the track for a couple of days. About 200 miles round trip.

I also used the 3M Adhesive Remover. I have used the 3M Eraser wheel as well. Both of them work well.

I have hated the faded nasty plastic bumper corners since I bought this thing. After looking at all the options and not really liking how industrial the aftermarket bumpers are, I decided to replace the plastics. While I was at it I stripped the failing side molding as well. Before After...

The table is 48" X 24" and is adjustable from 22" tall to 36" tall. Folded it's about 2' X 2' X 3". The cabinet is a made by Rubbermaid and carried by Lowes. It's supposed to hang in a closet. I have my doubts about how well it will survive the heat of summer, but we will see. I did add some...

They make some propane firepits. I don't personally have one, but I've seen them advertised. Here is a link to some reviews. Portable Firepit.

Just a FYI. The HF tongues will fail from flexing. A gent on another forum had one fail on I95 and it spread his trailer and RTT all over the median. It broke right at the trailer frame. I think the tall, short profile and the extra weight of the RTT that high up, caused a oscillation that...

A little got done today. I decided to get the fridge up off the floor so I could store stuff underneath it. Namely a folding plastic table. A table goes a long way to making a camp more than primitive. A little digging through my stash of wood and I whipped up this. That gives me some...

This is not going to be a large tire, go anywhere beast. BTDT. I'm over it. I'm building this to run the GA Traverse and eventually the Trans American Trail. Mostly cruising dirt roads in the national forests and camping. It will eventually end up as a TOAD behind my 56 Ford bus, SanFord. It...

I just bought another 200 watts for that reason, even though I don't have a particular use for them. I did just read that one of the Chinese manufacturers has decided to build a US plant, so maybe the prices won't balloon too much.
