    Bison Overland Camper Flatbed POP-Up on Ram 2500

    If I ever pull the trigger on one of these those are the top two requirements I'll have. Intended use includes regular temps well below freezing. Look forward to seeing Bison's campers evolve - they are the most promising combo of build and price out there.

    Fridge size for Jeep JKU?

    I think the Snomaster 42 dual zone is that right call! I have the Engel MT45 dual zone that is the same external dimensions and it fits perfectly, even with my tailgate table.

    Setting up Jeep Gladiator for overlanding. Power storage question.

    I have two 100W hard panels mounted on my JKU in a custom rack but that doesn't seem like a solution for you. You could try mounting somthing on top of your tent or maybe on a rack above the cab. Otherwise, I think these are the smallest, lightest, high quality panels you can get to setup and...

    Jku Engine Swap options

    @Dan Grec I really enjoy your content and your engine swap tale was all too familiar. A lot of time, money, effort and some stress along the way to getting it where it needed to be. For your use (Overlanding outside the USA) I'd never recommend it and agree 100% with your conclusion that...

    Jku Engine Swap options

    I've got a Motech L94 / 6L80 swap in my 2009 JKU and love it but it was not without it's challenges. If doing it today I'd do the Motech Single Module System and an L8T / 10L80. If you decide to go forward with an LS/LT swap ping me directly and we can talk - I've learned a lot over the last 3...

    How many running the Rhino Backbone? Have you found a rear cargo area rack/shelf that will work?

    I have the backbone in my 2009 JKU. I've run it with a Tuffy cargo enclosure / deck (no interference issues). For the height you are looking for I'd run this: https://vectoroffroad.com/collections/jk-wrangler-products/products/jk-highland-platform I ended up going another direction and...

    Anyone running Snomaster fridge in your JKU or JLU?

    The Engel dual zone makes it easy to switch from 70/30 (freezer or fridge) to 100% either. Simply remove the divider (and, if you want, the baskets) and adjust the temp. In my experience with mine using it for freezing, once it gets to temp there is very little difference in power use. Based...

    Anyone running Snomaster fridge in your JKU or JLU?

    I have (and love) the dual zone Engel MT45 (https://www.engelcoolers.com/engel-mt45f-combi-fridge-freezer.html). I chose it over the Snomaster 42 because at the time it was the only dual zone in this size. The size fits perfectly behind the left rear seat and it has plenty of space if you pack...

    2017 Chevy Express Extended 4x4 Sportsmobile

    Thanks for the height info - unfortunately my max height (which my JKU clears by an inch) is 82". I guess a van upgrade is going to depend on a move first.

    2017 Chevy Express Extended 4x4 Sportsmobile

    Max exterior height with the top down? If it's the awning can you measure without it as well? I'm wondering if this will fit in my garage (required winter condo parking). Thanks!

    Fridge size for Jeep JKU?

    FYI: As much as I love my Engel it appears that Snomaster may be walking away with this test series - worth watching if you are shopping! I'm looking forward to the final episodes and raw data...

    Fridge size for Jeep JKU?

    I do use the removable lid on the Engel since I don't have my slide mounted yet and like to leave it strapped in.

    Fridge size for Jeep JKU?

    I've got the Engel MT45 Dual Zone and my other top choice would be the Snomaster 42. Both have a tall narrow profile that fits perfectly behind the 30% seat on the left in the JKU and comes up level with the stuff I have mounted above the wheel well. They both fit the So Cal Teardrops slide...
