    INEOS Grenadier

    I was in Colorado Springs during Christmas, and stopped by a dealer. First, they had 30+ on the lot, and all but 4 had sold signs. The sales lady told me people were flying or driving in from surrounding states to pick them up. An older gentleman from New Mexico was picking one up. He told me he...

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    After not driving my TJ much for the last two years (2019 Overland Expo East was my last trip with it), I recently drove 3,700 miles for a Jeep/camping trip. I ran the Rimrocker trail west to east (south of Moab to Montrose, CO), among others. Rimrocker was fantastic ... about 170 miles, mostly...

    Jackery Explorer 300 Review: From Jobsite to Campsite

    Nice review. I have the Jackery 240, and I love it for the price ($200 when bought). I simply use it to recharge iPhones, MacBook, camera batteries, etc., on trips, and easily charges while driving. Plus in an emergency it will power my Snomaster fridge (42L) for about 8 hours.

    National Luna Split-Charge System Charging Issues?

    Yes, I'm bringing this old thread back to life as i wanted to make an update/comment about my National Luna split charger that I have installed in a Jeep Wrangler TJ, originally installed in 2017 to power a Snomaster fridge. First of all, the system has been flawless. Since then, I've also...

    Budget family overland rig. I built this setup for our year long overland adventure for less than $60,000, my friend shot this walk around.

    I too just found this...What a great family and I hope you've had an enjoyable time and safe travel. I really like your Tundra with the FWC. The trailer makes a lot of sense to, especially for a family and on the road full-time. Thanks for sharing!

    Living in my Tacoma + Four Wheel Camper: The Build

    Thanks for video and I hope to see more! Your humor is fun. These are totally cool and would be a lot of fun. The brown is nice with your truck color, and I too wouldn't have gotten their stove since it can't be taken outside. I was going to buy one as well for my Tacoma long bed, and I would...

    Should FWC's Swift & Fleet be marketed towards Tacomas?

    I just spent a week long road trip with my 4Runner. I get home, go to get into my Tacoma and I hit my head on the entry... as I have to duck to get inside it! I'm okay with seat positions (I'm 5' 11"), in fact I think over all the seats are more comfortable (better padded and fitting) than in...

    Tundra - Transfer Flow 46 Gallon Tank - Wheelbase?

    ^That's better then I expected! My Jeep TJ that with our without my trailer gets a solid 12. My safe range is 175 miles. I plan my trips by gas stations, and I've also started to carry at least one 3 gallon rotopax for peace of mind. :)

    Should FWC's Swift & Fleet be marketed towards Tacomas?

    I bought a Tacoma TRD OR access cab last November. Its payload is 1140#s. With that being said, I attended Expo East last fall and talked to the FWC dealer from Maine. They rent the Tacoma below with a custom suspension and it has rather favorable reviews as to how well it drives. I'll note that...

    Snomaster TR42S or CL56D for 2016 Jeep Wrangler (JKU)?

    This might help you... here is the interior of my 42 as it's currently in my garage as a beer/ water fridge. It currently has 14 beers (12 and 16 oz.) and 14 water bottles, which I never carry this much of either in it when we travel. In the top basket at the bottom of the picture, I usually...

    Snomaster TR42S or CL56D for 2016 Jeep Wrangler (JKU)?

    ^I'll add that I guess it depends on how much you cook (need fresh ingredients), and as well are away from even at least a minimart for basics? When the wife and I go camping, we usually only cook once a day (dinner) as we just like to keep cooking to a minimum, including to do more prep work at...

    Snomaster TR42S or CL56D for 2016 Jeep Wrangler (JKU)?

    I have the 42 in the back of my TJ. The reason I bought it is the limited space that I have. It fits under a rack and I still have space to the left for stuff. For my wife and I, the 42 is plenty of interior room, and in fact more room then we use to have with an ice cooler. I recently bought a...
