    Health Insurance on the road

    We travel full-time and use World Nomads for travel insurance, which includes emergency medical and dental, everywhere except within 100 miles of your "home". It also covers other stuff like bag delays or theft, trip cancellation, etc. It might not be the cheapest option depending on how you...

    Roadtrippers Road trip planner APP

    I like Roadtrippers a lot. During a trip I use it to find POIs along the route-- especially things like museums, abandoned stuff, etc. that might not pop up on Google Maps without specifically searching for it. It's also great for route planning, since you can add your waypoints and it will...

    Tent Bed Options for Sleeping Together

    My wife and I use a 2" foam mattress topper that we cut to fit the shape of the interior of the Jeep. We usually just sleep in the Jeep, but we also use it in our tent and it's incredibly comfortable. We put a fitted sheet on each side of it to protect the cover. We use a Sleepingo double...

    Gas can storage

    I keep a 5-gallon metal Jerry can strapped to my roof rack, and it seems to seal pretty well. And at least in North America, 5 gallons should be plenty to get me to a gas station if I run out. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GIL64I/

    Storage box options

    Plano makes different versions of the 108 quart totes. I think Home Depot only carries the 1819, which is much flimsier than the 1919 (which is the "heavy-duty" version). I have 2 1919's bolted to my roof rack and they're really solid. They also have a channel in the lid, where I glued some...

    CAD help

    I like SketchUp for certain projects, but I believe the free version doesn't let you export as anything other than an image. Plus it's only available in the web browser, which means you need an internet connection to work. But it's super easy to learn, and pretty convenient in most cases...

    Plywood platform for a 2010 JKU

    This is awesome, nice work! That thing looks solid. I did something kind of similar in my '11 JKU, but left the rear seat in place, and made the front section removable so the rear seats can fold up. I have a full write-up here...

    Some decent Plano totes at Home Depot

    I use the 108 quart sportsman totes, and they're great. I have 2 mounted to my roof rack; one to hold all of my cooking stuff and the other for tools and camping stuff. Super sturdy, and totally waterproof and dustproof with a little bit of EDPM weatherstripping around the lid channel. I also...

    Kitchen Kit/Chuck Box

    I use a Plano Sportsman 1919 box for all of my cooking stuff, which I bolted directly to my Gobi Stealth roof rack. They're more than sturdy enough, but inexpensive (especially compared to Pelican-type boxes). Plus, they're water and dust-proof (at least after adding some weatherstripping...

    Front Runner Wolf Packs

    +1 for Wolf Packs. I use 2 of them on my Gobi Stealth roof rack. I've mounted them a few different ways, but recently I bolted some metal corner brackets to the rack to keep them spaced the way I want, and then I just use a tie-down strap to hold them down. Since they're not locked or bolted...

    What are you using for a coffee maker and coffee brand when camping/overlanding?

    I generally use a JetBoil with the french press attachment, or boil the water in the JetBoil and make coffee in a BruTrek travel mug with a built-in french press. For the coffee itself, I generally just try to buy a bag of something local from the supermarket wherever I am, and keep it in my...
