I believe you only need 91, most stations should have 87 or 89 so you should be good.

Land Rovers do it, but you need to know the load your Jeep gutters can take, old Defenders are 300lbs when moving. Lots of others are sub 100lbs for the same, jeeps are about 85-90lbs all up including the roof rack, so that guy is pretty massively overloaded. The cross bars will be about...

I have thought about this for a while, I think part of the problem is a mental disconnect in that people think a hard pull is required. If you think about it, we all know a winch is a slow pull, a tug should be the same thing, a slow pull to assist the stuck vehicle in getting some movement...

Some stuff is good, some bad and quality control is pretty marginal on a lot. But as with @rruff I have had more good than bad experiences with the cheaper stuff from China

Tepui offers a weather cover and an inside insulating setup. My Tepui Ayer 2 has not leaked heavy rain in the PNW, without a cover and it was ok at -10c and high winds. But I do stake the fold-out portion of tent down. Still around on amazon Tepui Insulator for Rooftop Tents Thule Tepui...

I have had one for years, here in BC the commercial freq and ham freq are separate and require different licenses and radios. I use it to call my KM on logging roads, so they know I am coming and call back, it works really well for that.

@jscherb @AggieOE Having set up a few rallies they are a ton of work, and you need the teams to be in the same location each night. The same campsite covers logistics, making sure you have no one missing, you are responsible it is your event. Even club rally events take a lot of work. But...

Right between 95 and 100 it is the same basic tent as 2 person Tepui Ayer 2 roof bars/rack count as roof load too.

Note UK premium is 89/91 octane in North America - different rating systems. 91 is as high as you need to go.

Mine runs at about 230F at the outlet, I used a hard flexible aluminum hose for my initial connection and it is very hot to the touch. After it hits the black it is fine.

@pappawheely PVC melts the output is quite hot

Out for a drive with the local rover club

I think you are facing an issue of most events are club based and local to their area. So my club in BC has been having a 7-8 day overland trip through southern BC the last couple of years, averaging about 1200 miles largely off-road. But there is a limit to how many trucks can go, mostly camp...

Harrison Lake BC this feb.

I never used disposable stuff, I travel solo so a single plate, knife, fork, and maybe a spoon. A pot and frying pan to cook in. It takes very little water to wash those up maybe 1/2 a plastic water bottle (do not carry those either). A drop of soap bio-friendly soap and done, as to grey...
