We had a cheap one from Amazon about five years ago, but it developed a leak right at one of the creases. It could not be filled more than half full at that point and it leaked water. Now I keep a Jetboil for boiling water.

I was on a ride a few weeks ago and a ZR2 at the front of the group was having a rough go of some muddy moguls because he was getting bound up with his spare dragging in the mud. I made it through with only light high center dragging. The difference between our trucks was his stock tires vs my...

Back in November-December, I received my Relentless Fabrication bumper and swingout tire carrier. It was a pretty straightforward install: remove the factory bumper/hitch receiver (four bolts per side), remove the spare tire and the hoist/heat shield, and then put the new bumper on. I also...

That looks so much better. That would make picking a line a ton easier. Wolf packs are awesome. At the moment, that battery is 100% solar. The only time it hasn't been enough was a couple days of nonstop rain during the bleak wintery days of November and December, but here in North Georgia...

1100 lbs.

I think CargoGlide lists it at 140 lbs.

Thanks. This setup is pretty decent. If I were buying the cap for the first time, I'd get an Alu-Cab Explorer's Canopy. It's only 125 lbs, so I'd save a lot of weight, and get more strength. At the moment, I have a spare truck battery in the bed that is charged by a 100w panel and it runs the...

Family of four here, too. We have the 10x14 Kodiak and it goes up pretty quickly with a helper. I like the idea of an impact drilling in lag bolts as pegs.

After wearing through two Trasharoos because they just fell apart, I jumped on a recent group buy on another site for a Last US Bag Company Oscar's Mobile Hideout. They aren't cheap and if I had to pay retail it'd be a tough pill to swallow. However, the materials and features put it ahead of...

I had it set properly. The battery was already dying without the fridge's help. The LVD turned the fridge off once due to it setting over a long, hot weekend of camping. The Jeep cranked just fine. The last time the LVD turned the fridge off the battery was already toast and no amount of...

I had the full length of the ARB wiring kit used when I had my ARB 50 mounted in my JKU and the LVD only turned off a couple of times due to low voltage. When it did it was near the end of the battery's life, and I let it sit over a particularly hot weekend. The last time it did the battery was...

I've got a 2019 ZR2 V6. I bought it this summer, so haven't had a ton of miles on it yet. I'm coming from a Jeep Wrangler so that impacts some of my likes and dislikes. Currently, I'm running a Leer topper with Rhino Rack platform on it, a CargoGlide 1000, aux battery in a battery box, and ARB...

LA, if you've never mounted the curb to get around some moron in traffic, I imagine this is going to open new worlds for you, especially if you're in LA. Just send it.

And you can pre-cool them using an extension cord before you head out, which means you use less power from your battery. BOOM!!! Buy the fridge.

You don't need the slide. It makes a nice thing even nicer, but it isn't necessary. I manhandled my ARB fridge in and out of the back of my Jeep for years before I bought a slide for it. Now that I have a ZR2, the fridge was the first thing to go in the back with a spare battery I had laying...
