I don't have a good name for her yet, so this will have to do for now! So, I was fortunate enough to find and buy some land in the Allegheny National Forest, about an hour from where I live. I'm very happy with it, but overall, with all the cars and rigs around my house, I don't have anything...

Good morning! I have hypothetical questions about camping. I believe I'm looking to take a pop-up camper and outfit it as a platform rather than add a rooftop tent to my rig(s). I recognize this is heresy, but I respectfully ask that you all stay your torches and pitchforks. I like the idea of...

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one of their Super Lite tents in the near future. I love everything about it, but I have questions, and I figured this would be the place to ask. I guess Personal messages are ok if you don't want to post something publicly. How is their quality on the...

Good morning! So, I have one of the Rough Country switch controllers, and although it's been in for a while (and gets power), only yesterday did I begin to hook it up. I attempted to wire two Nilight 51w floods to it. The switch panel has a fuse and relay already as a part of the line, so I...

Good evening! So, I'm about to pull the trigger on this item for my truck: https://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Industries-90133-Chase-Tail-Light/dp/B01NCNGODI Since it will get mounted in front of my spare tire, I need it wired with a connector I can disconnect whenever I have to change the spare...

Good evening! I purchased something nice from Xprite a couple of years ago, and am now ready to place it in my bumper. This is very exciting! However, the Xprite item has a connector that simply is plug and play for a Jeep owner. However...I am not a Jeep owner. I have something else, and will...

Good evening. In the past, I had a small 4x4 that I rewired, with a lot of help from folks here and elsewhere. Sadly, once the electrical was figured out, the entire engine went south, and a replacement wasn't going to be possible. That vehicle, a Daihatsu Rocky, was small, something I sought...

Hello! Some time ago, I was attempting a build of a very small 4x4...and after two head gaskets and associated other worries, that little oddball has retired to the boneyard in the sky. Or is now razor blades. About the time I punted that thing to the boneyard, I looked for the heck of it at...

Hello to all. I just posted this question to the electrical board here, as they have been awesome with helping me navigate and understand what I will do with my electrical system. This does include an electrical question about a compressor, and while this isn't a straight recovery question, the...

So, a lot has come together recently. I have a Daihatsu Rocky, and the offroad bits for it can be hard to source. I'll keep to the point for this thread here: I finally found a locker for my rig. Even though the Rocky rear end is essentially a 7" Toyota, you can't simply throw a 7" in there...

Hello to all, and happy holidays! I have build threads posted in a variety of places, but since this particular item is specific to the outdoors/overlanding plans of the future, I thought I would ask here. I have a 1990 Daihatsu Rocky. My build thread is here, linked below...

More details to come, including my plans for it, but here it is, road-legal as if yesterday afternoon for the first time:

Years ago, when I had a full-size Suburban, I saw a nifty large blue box that included relays and fuses that could be fit under the hood to run all manner of power to and from. The Suburban is long gone, but my new mini expo rig (for short expos, of course!) is a Daihatsu Rocky. My electrical...

Hello there: feel free to delete this thread if needed, but I saw what looks like a unicorn where I live: a 70-series flat-bed with a nice camper and euro plates. Definitely did a triple-take when I saw it! However...it was by the side of the road at the state line between New York and...

Condensed story: had a K5 Blazer, couldn't kill the electrical gremlins, I junked it. Had a 1986 V20 Suburban, and loved it, but it was lacking a lot of creature comforts, and I did not have the barn doors I wanted. Plus, I wanted to throw our old minivan off of a cliff. So, I looked and looked...

OK, so I have the rails on my roof like everyone else. I saw this thread here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/90241-Homemade-ATV-ramp-roof-rack ...and I'm intrigued. However, I get worried about the crossbar, and then the rack on top of that. Can you simply bolt it to the...
