    Mounting an awning to a "roll bar" style rack.

    I used two 2" exhaust clamps (u-bolts) and a couple lengths of 3/4" x 1/8" aluminum flat stock bent to form brackets for my DIY awning. My awning is mounted to an MBRP roof rack that's made up of 2" tubing. Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk

    Frontrunner RTT Quick Release Mount

    Been looking for a source for those locking t-handle pins. Thanks for the link! Currently I use two clevis/hitch pins, two lockable hitch pins, some extruded aluminum angles and square tubing to mount my RTT to the rack on my Wrangler. The front two pins are hard to lock in place with cotter...

    Solar roof cable entry, how to get through the roof?

    Interior rear rack for a JKU

    DIY as others have done. For my shelf I used 3/4" Baltic birch plywood coated with Duplicolor bedliner and edged with aluminum c-channel. The shelf is mounted to the roll cage using: u-bolts; 1/4" aluminum plate; and 1/4" x 2" aluminum angle. A 37 qt fridge on a slide out platform sits...

    Lets See Your Solar Setups

    150 Watts through a CTEK D250S Dual (combination DC to DC battery charger and MPPT solar charge controller) feeding a 76 Ah AGM battery, and monitored with a couple of DC power meters to keep tabs on power/current from the solar panels into the house battery and from the house battery to my...
