    Is it a sign that I'm just growing up or getting boring?? Soon to be Wrangler-less...

    Well after driving nothing but JKs for the past 12 years (07 JKU, 2012 JKUR, 2010 JK), I just committed to buy a 2014 WK2 (5.7L Hemi). Really wanted a diesel, but given that I drive my work truck 90% of the time... figured it sitting for weeks on end would be even worse then a gas vehicle doing...

    2010 2 Dr JK Trips and Build

    Hi. This thread is just to keep track of the build and trips. In Jan 2019 I sold my 2012 JKUR. I found I wasn't wheeling as much as before (like barely going out at all) and decided to be responsible and sell the toy to fund a house purchase. So I sold the JKUR delivering it to someone in...

    Heated Steering Wheel - Wrangler JK

    So Jeep has the heated steering wheel in the Cherokee and GC, but naturally they use a different steering wheel for the JK. I'm completely clueless as to why they wouldn't give this to us as an option. I mean when I ordered my JK, I easily would have paid several hundred dollars to have this...

    Lateral movement while camped

    So something that has been an issue the last two years since modifying my trailer from it's initial setup to how it is now, is a lot of annoying lateral movement. When I roll over, the whole trailer moves. At 235 I'm not skinny... but this is still annoying. This change only became an issue when...

    FS 1997 Volkwagen Transporter Camper Van (diesel, manual)

    My parents are selling this. So I decided to post a link here for them. They've had it for ~7 years, and work has picked up so they haven't been using it as much over the last couple of years. Attached is the Craigslist, Kijiji and autotrader ad that has a bunch of pictures...

    SOLD!! A Pillarguards and 6" 35w HIDs

    I have a pair of A Pillarguards made by trailskinz.com (a friend of mine down in Van) and 6" HID lights for sale. Both are used (have been on my JK for ~2 years), however both work just fine. These are version 1, so the bracket is slightly different than the picture. Here's a stock picture of...

    Review - James Baroud Space Evolution

    This here is my review of my James Baroud Space Evolution RTT after setting it up and my first weekend camping in it. When I bought my m101 trailer, it came with a Tepui Kukenam RTT. Not a bad tent... but not the one I wanted. I wanted something that was faster to setup/take down (most of my...

    How do you decide - kitchen/lid access positioning?

    Okay... So how does one decide as to which side of the trailer to place things (kitchen, lid opening, tent access, etc)? Am planning on a pull out kitchen from the front quarter panel. And I would like that to be covered by the awning. Tent will be a clam shell type so access could be on...

    Could someone take a measurement on a m101? - kitchen planning

    My trailer is in storage for the winter. But am looking for the distance between the front of the box and the front of the fender (at the bottom of the box/fender), and the distance between the bottom of the box (box not frame) and the bottom of the angled part of the box. Basically the...

    Looking for a trailer build - m416 with slide out stove/kitchen

    Hello. I'm looking for a trailer build I saw on here. It was a m416, with an rtt. I think it was green or camo in color. I can't remember if it had a lid or a canvas cover. The main thing I remember (which is why I want to see it), is a slide out kitchen/stove out of the front driver side...

    Horrendous Customer Service - Wild Boar

    So after getting the name of the manufacture of the Wild Boar Camp-n-case hard sided roof top tent, I found it rather interesting, and decided to look into it a bit more. I've always wanted a hard shelled tent, and figured that in addition to James Baroud, Autohome and CVT that this would be...

    Phoenix Jeep Pulse pop up

    I was wasting time at work today... err, I mean I was on lunch, and came across this interesting concept. Looks like a cross between the Action Camper, the Earth Roamer and the Ursa J30. But it comes in with a much lower price tag - 18k. I don't think it comes close to providing the same...

    Jeep decisions

    So am still having issues with the JK overheating under load, and have more or less resigned myself to the fact I have zero faith in the dealer to fix it. I'm now trying to decide how I want to proceed. Do I sell it, and go buy another 2012/13/14? Buy a 07 and put a new engine in it? Buy a TJ/LJ...

    Better Mantels for Propane Lanterns ??

    Okay... so when camping (at least down south) I use my propane lantern... however my mantels only last the time I'm in that camp site. They don't seem to like getting bounced around on the back roads. Other than buying more mantels (which I'll do for this trip), I'm curious as to what others...

    Matching Wheels

    Okay, not sure this really deserves it's own thread... but so be it. Having just ordered a set of wheel adapters for my M101 (from stock to 5x5 pattern) I've been looking for a set of wheels. Mainly looking in the lower mainland or northern Washington as I'll be down there next week (and odds of...

    GPS to Notebook ??

    I'm not sure how possible this is... but figured I'd ask here. I was given a Garmin etrex 20 for Christmas. I'm doing a road trip next month, and plan on doing a lot of exploring around the back country. I always take a laptop with me (13" HP tablet - HP touchsmart tm2 Notebook PC - win7). I...

    Cascadia Vehicle Tents

    Anyone know anything about them? Looks like they're competing with Maggiolia tents and have their own trailers. Tents are 1500 & 2400, and the trailers are varied, $5600 (looks like the base model, and are used rental units), 9k, or 10k (they have 2 different models). Both have a pull out...
