I recently upgraded to a large 75L dual zone Dometic fridge. Nice unit and I really want to run half as a freezer. Problem is, my system is having trouble keeping up with the new increased power demand. I have a single 100W Renogy panel, Rover MPPT controller, and Renogy 100Ah battery. All runs...

I posted this on my Tundra build thread, but since it is more germane to camping gear... Well, a month later my new Dometic fridge still hasn't shipped. I was tired of waiting and the road to my cabin is clear, so I needed a fridge. I saw a great deal pop up on Amazon for the legendary Engel...

Elbert County is sort of a strange and cool place... It's not unusual to see a lot of pronghorns here... I have heard of elk around here but only recently saw them for the first time... Elbert County is a land of extremes. Severe weather. Beautiful ranches worth millions. Dilapidated...

After 5.5 years, my 47L ARB fridge has stopped working on 12v. It works on AC 120v. Anybody heard of this and have a fix? Editorial note: The fridge has been a stalwart until now. I'm very disappointed in the "legendary ARB service"... They have a web submitter thingy that is broken (but...

Some may recall this build I did 5 years ago... https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2006-1st-gen-tundra-doublecab-build.127252/ (where does the time go?) I decided to perform some upgrades to the solar system. I like to build my own systems and not do a Goal Zero or similar. Rather...

The full moon is out... Anybody going to watch the eclipse tonight?

We are getting some colorful sunsets due to all the unfortunate recent fires...

I spent a few days doing some casual trails near Buena Vista last week... Going up and back down the other side of Hancock was fairly tough and rocky, but the summit was very mild... Cumberland Pass was beautiful and easy... Tincup was gnarly... Gotta love the Wile E. Coyote...

Last night I was at my high country cabin. It's at 9,600 ft and when the sky is clear, it a freakin' planetarium. And last night, the stars were just amazingly bright. I noticed I was actually getting a small solar charge LED indicator. Anyone ever had that happen?

Anybody hear anything? Will we finally see a Gen 3?

So, who has some juicy insider info? (and not just a close-up of an 18" rim like Toyota blasted out today in advance of the NY Auto Show)

It sure was a great few days... Met up with Senor Buckwheat. Here we are at the top of Imogene 13,114 ft.... We did some of the more obscure trails. Governor Basin was incredible. Here we are at the end of Yankee Boy beneath Mt. Sneffels... One really spectacular trail was...

Just got back from a great trip to the Ouray/Telluride area. I have some cool videos to share including Black Bear but I need to get those processed. In the meanwhile, here are a few pics... Imogene was spectacular: Gotta love that stretch of Ophir that looks like Tibet... The...
