.. Especially if you previously had a different JB RTT like Evo, etc. I'm trying to understand if it's easier to set up and take down compared to EVO (but in the words of an actual owner). I have the Evo on my older jeep, but on my new jeep I want to add either Ursa Minor J30 or JB Odyssey...

I think RTT's definitely fill a need for a group of folks. For me, I used my RTT a *TON*, even just for going to the beach on the weekend. But two things change over times: the kids grow up (and dad gets wider!) and where all three of us could fit up there when they were young, not so much...

I've had my JB RTT now for about 4 years. I made a few upgrades today that have been long overdue. 1. The netting connected to the top shell is/was waaaay too loose. I would put things in it and it would droop down a lot and not give me a lot of vertical space. I ended up taking out the stock...

I was going to re-ask the 'engine swap recommendation' in a new thread, but thought I'd just append to this to keep stuff in the same place. I have a 2008 JKU rubicon wrangler. I've added 37's and regeared to 4.88. Stock engine I believe is the 3.8L v6 (the 'gutless wonder' as I call it). It...

Sometimes when I have something break I take it as an opportunity to at least open it up and see if I can get it sorted out, as I have nothing to lose at that point especially if it's out of warranty. I once had a flatscreen TV that was flickering in and out and I noticed that after reading a...

Hi, I was able to successfully test my new Weboost drive reach OTR over the weekend in a low signal area. I did so by temporary mounting the antenna just to make sure it works. I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler, and my ham radio antenna is mounted front drivers side, and my CB antenna is mounted in...

I live in San Diego and we have a number of beaches that you can pull up to on the 101. For that reason, and that reason alone, I went with passenger side 270 tent. Just keep in mind that if you have a roof top tent, your ladder will need to be opposite side of the 270 awning. Yes the downside...

Cleaned up the wiring, here is the Victron 75/15 controller, I mounted it inside jeep cabin, above passenger seat, using heavy duty velcro. My engine compartment is pretty full with the dual battery so I didn't want to put it there. This also reduces the wire length from PV to controller to...

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised at how it works when I run fridge off of the load output. If the fridge is pulling low amps, less than what the solar panel is producing, it pulls from pv and if anything is left over, that goes to battery. If the fridge is pulling high amps (like the first time...

Probably the last of my COVID pandemic projects, but the one I was most excited about. I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler JKU with a James Baroud Evasion hard shell RTT. I use a Genesis offroad dual battery system which lets me keep my ARB 50 fridge running for about 3 days before I have to start the...

I actually coordinated with Kinsmen Hardware to have their awning installed on my jeep will at Overland Expo West 2019 this year. It is a pretty remarkable awning, I've used it about a half dozen times already and I'll provide an independent review after a few more outings. For me, my priority...

I did the morryde jerry can holder as well. Oddly, the nylon lock nuts were not the right thread for the bolts but other than that it’s awesome. Good mount point for ham radio antenna to boot! I will get one for passenger side as well.

Yup, I think this is the problem I was having. What I was doing at the end of a cook was I'd shut the propane off at the tank, and burn off any propane in the line. I was leaving the stove valve open (tank valve closed) and then I'd disconnect the line and stow it. Then the next time I'd us...

Looks good... that pic totally answers my question of how to do an over-fly for a JB RTT.. I've got a number of hammock tarps that I can mount over the RTT. I was wondering what to do if you're stuck in the rain (or snow) for more than a day since you'd want a fly system so you had some coverage...

Thanksgiving week in Ocotillo Wells! waking up seeing the sunrise over Salton Sea.. awesome.

I was going to run some tests this week but since I live in San Diego it would be a dork move to fire up a propane grill with the high winds 'n all. Winds have died down so I'll test tomorrow. I also have a 20# tank that I use for a fire pint and I know it's about half full so I'll test with...

Correct, the propane line from the tank connects to the rigid regulator that came with the stove. Since it's a freshly filled new talk I'm going to burn off some gas and see if that helps. I guess I'll need to do a test with some pork belly slices. As some type of yummy scientific experiment n' all.

I have a Camp Chef Everest two burner stove that I've been using with the 1lb high pressure green bottles. I really like this stove since I get 20k BTU per burner so it's great for searing steaks with a cast iron pan. I've recently purchased a 10lb bulk propane tank which I mount to outside of...

I'm in the same boat: I have a rhinorack with JB RTT and I'd like to see if i can modify the FRO table slide to work under my RhinoRack. I'm not particularly optimistic due to the low profile, different rack mfr.. and even if I could get it to work, I'd have to take the RTT off to mount it.

Possible, yes, but the frame is fairly rusted and heavy so I'm looking at selling it off and replacing it with something lighter weight.
