    Post up your drawer/storage system

    I decided against drawers with slides for 3 major reasons: Time consuming and expensive to build Loss of space due to drawer slides (4 slides over 2 drawers eats up more than 2" of potential storage space width) Inability to easily move / transfer complete contents Instead I used straight...

    Diesel Disco II conversion

    Will be very interested to see how you spoof the rest of the injection system like MAF and O2s It's not just spoofing so there's no lights, the transmission ECU relies on load tables etc from engine management to shift properly.

    ARB Fridge question - Is it running too long?

    It being half full is part of the problem. Was the stuff you put in it pre-chilled or was it all ambient temp? Based on your description Im guessing you loaded it up with ambient temp drinks and the fridge had to work for a few hours to cool down the mass to a stable temp.

    Tire of Choice....

    What size is that, 275/60R20? I have the same size on my Range Rover and it does ride dramatically different than the all season/luxury car tires that were on it prior. There is no escaping the stiffer ride from a thicker, heavier sidewall and stronger tire. What pressure are you running?

    needed: leak proof but readily modified connectors for camper water systems

    What kind of hose clamps are you using? I have never had a problem using high quality, all stainless, knurled clamps. Auto parts store clamps are junk - I wont use them anywhere.

    New Industry Standard Winch? (Superwinch EXP Series)

    I dont know if you've been living under a rock, but Warn has been junk for about a decade, save the 8274. Superwinch has been at this for a long time and puts out a far superior product at a far better price point than any other. However, I'm disappointed by the EXP gimmicks and whizz bangs and...

    MPT80/81 Tires on Rubicon Unlimited?

    Seems like you've overbuilt yourself into a corner. Any heavy truck tire like the MPT or a Michelin XZL might work, but will be so thick and heavy it won't air down well on a light weight Jeep. Can you fit 16" wheels? If so maybe try to find some 11.00-16 Michelins. That would be a tall skinny...

    Land anchor

    Interesting for the desert I guess. Useless anywhere with rocky, rooty, or clay soil. It could take all day to dig a hole big enough, just to earn ~2000lbs of anchoring strength.
