    Do we really need a spare?

    In general I keep a “doughnut” spare in the stock location in my Jeep Cherokee. It doesn’t seem like much but it takes up a lot less space when it comes to day to day use of an already pretty small SUV. When we are going camping or far off the beaten path I put the full sized spare back in...

    Anyone heating camper shell with heater core?

    Hello folks, I have recently acquired a camper shell for our pickup, and we have been messing around with setting it up for, well, camping. I was looking at heating options like a diesel or propane forced air unit, maybe building a diesel heater-in-a-box to use to heat the camper as well as...

    Good source for windows?

    Spent a few moments getting the top set on my truck today, still needs to be affixed to the bed but it’s a start anyway

    Good source for windows?

    Let me measure it out and see if those would make any sense thank you. Some good ideas. I think we have a used camper parts store here in Bozeman but they may have gone the way of the dodo.

    Good source for windows?

    Hello folks, I recently picked up a Gem Top to be used on our old truck, and I would like to add more windows down the sides. Trouble is, I can’t seem to come up with any affordable options. I have been searching for things like RV windows, camper windows, topper windows. There are plenty of...

    Tired of Old Junk but no Interest in Newer 4x4s

    It has been said but I really recommend an XJ if you are thinking about another SUV. I have owned my Cherokee since 2005. It was my first car, and it had been totaled by our neighbors daughter so they passed it along to my family to repair. In fact it has been a little unlucky. A week after they...

    WTB: Old Trail Tech or Baja Designs 8" halogen racelight

    Hello folks, I know the technology has come and gone, but I am on the hunt for either a Trail Tech or Baja Designs 8" round race light for my motorcycle. The old school, halogen bulb type. I added a photo of both types in case that jogs anyone's memory of what they might have collecting dust in...

    SheepnJeep's CJ-3A Thread

    Seems like a long time coming, but I finally made and added taller hood blocks to space the windshield up higher when folded. The wiper arm would touch the hood with my first set of blocks. Hood took a slight wack to the paint at one point and I had to remove the wiper arm before folding the...

    And here’s yet another promise to bring more affordable EV trucks into the fold

    I see something like this as still a great opportunity for retrofits, given that you could presumably put batteries in place of the engine, and somehow get the weight balance correct again. Take my F100 for example. Yes, we put tons of town miles and close by town miles on it a year, but...

    Brainstorming ideas for 120v cab heat

    I do like the idea of adding a seperate cab heater, and the aircraft ones are definitely the coolest choice. I will persue the idea of hooking up the normal heater fan to a 12v power supply. I’m assuming the heater would simply run at full blast?

    Brainstorming ideas for 120v cab heat

    Don’t forget to fuel up your Mailbox ? I have considered putting one of these in the back and using it to heat a camper shell setup. Maybe run a vent right into the cab as well?

    Brainstorming ideas for 120v cab heat

    I was also thinking about computer tower fans. Probably not enough airflow to blow air up the defrost vent however. I was also thinking about a bilge fan that is meant to be added inline to a 2” hose, but can’t seem to find a 120v version. I will look at aircraft heaters. This would be something...

    Brainstorming ideas for 120v cab heat

    Hey folks, Winter has arrived in southwest Montana and I have been thinking on an idea that’s been percolating for a while. I have a Katts tank style engine block heater installed in my pickup. For those not familiar, unlike a freeze plug block heater the tank style is a separate unit that is...

    Any longtime riders quit for good?

    I never really followed up with this. I did end up selling the motorcycle last year. It really effected me personally for a couple of days actually. In fact I sort of set it up so my dad ended up selling it in Minneapolis (bigger market than the Upper Peninsula) and that way I didn't have to see...
