I connected the charging port of the new Dometic lithium battery (PLB40) to my auxiliary battery (Optima YellowTop) and then connected the output of the Dometic battery to my fridge. I was careful to make sure the power cable is secured so that it can't get pinched in the fridge slide (have...

I've got several threads and ideas scattered around this forum, and I'm thinking I should consolidate them into a single Jeep thread. But in the meantime I wanted to post about some experimenting I've been doing with pressurized water ideas. First the failures: 1) I tried to pressurize my...

Well, they aren't actually night-vision lights . . . but they are lights that don't ruin your night vision while at base camp. I got the idea after a trip to an observatory where everyone was issued flashlights with red cellophane taped over them. I've been working on the project for more than...

Here are some photos of the cargo system I designed for my 2018 treks. I am trying some new things this year and wanted to share my ideas since I have learned a lot from this forum!

I know this is a thread topic that is on an endless loop, but I was so fascinated by all of the suggestions that I decided to test them myself in the field! So hopefully this thread provides some additional details and ideas to the conversations. I have a Tepui roof top tent (Autana Sky) and...

Thank you to everyone who has provided advice and suggestions so far! I started this thread so I can post updates as I make further progress on this project. I truly appreciate the views of this expert community, so please keep the feedback coming.

This is a new product design I am developing. It's a single piece and easy to install. I am interested to hear opinions and feedback from this expert community of Jeep enthusiasts. It will take me some time to develop an estimate on retail sale price, but first I'd love to hear what you...

Finally got around to trying this little trick that popped into my head a month ago. I have always wanted to find a place to keep my kinetic rope since it would be super helpful if I ever need to yank another vehicle out of mud or snow. But it's too big to fit under the second row seats in my...

I wanted to share the quick-mount design I built for my fridge and cargo shelf. The fridge and slide are sold by Dometic and the rack is an Olympic 4x4 kit that I modified. Both the fridge slide and the cargo rack can be installed and removed in under five minutes, with just five bolts. My...

My 2016 Rubicon weighs 5,800 pounds without any people or cargo in it. The 5,800 pounds includes half a tank of gas, my five 35" tires, AEV bumpers, skid plating, roof rack, roof top tent and other accessories. I have an AEV 3.5-inch DualSport SC suspension system with frequency-tuned...

I've always wanted to use the water tanks in my AEV rear bumper, but couldn't stand the thought of hassling with the hand-pump dispenser that is required to squirt the water out of the tanks. So I spliced a spigot onto the connector hose at the lowest point. The spigot tucks up inside the...

I have a Olympic 4x4 cargo rack in the back of my JK that is supported by horizontal bolts that I drilled into my roll bars. So the rack is extremely solid and can support a LOT of weight with no sag. I want to install a fridge, but have only 20 inches of clearance under the rack. And I have...

I saw a post where someone used onboard air to pressurize the AEV bumper tanks that hold 4.8 gallons of water. I'd like to pressurize mine, but use my portable 12V compressor instead. I think it would be straightforward to punch a hole in the tank cap and add a spare tire air valve into it...

These shelves set up in less than three minutes and hang from the channel in the back of my Sunseeker canopy. They provide some nice extra horizontal surfaces under the canopy.
