Trip: Merus Adventure Park

It’s a non powered ice chest not a fridge unfortunately. That would have been really cool to use one of the rechargeable dewalt 20v to run it or something similar. It’s a gobi rack, no drilling, I have an optional removable panel that covers the front part of the top but without it installed...

I agree, tons of variations of this idea out there.

But do you have the ice chest?

New camping gear system in the works. Dewalt Tough System 2.0, boxes, drawers and once chest.

Project: Building A Base Camp Jeep Realizing that MTB changed my life, I figured out real quick it was going to change my jeep. My receiver hitch bolted to the savvy crossmember was woefully I’ll suited to the leverage of a fully loaded 6 bike rack. Working with a local Jeep shop we devised a...

Story: Big Life Change, MTB In 2019 I had some health wake up calls at the age of 33. My eating changed and I started trying to figure out what active thing I could do to get off the couch and out of the office. Late in the summer I bought a used MTB and started riding around my neighborhood...

Project: Rock Slide Engineering Rocker Guards and Savvy Aluminum Half Doors After realizing my factory rock sliders were rotting from the inside out, I sought out some good sturdy rocker guards. These are the ones with no electric step. Install took a little while, but I am very happy with the...

Project: Teraflex Tire Carrier Pattern Hi Lift Mount I had a Teraflex Hi Lift mount but it just seems weak overall. So I set about designing and building a better one. Again, measure, design, cut, bend, weld. This one I am very happy with. i later added a handle Isolator and metal handle hook...

Project: Shovel/Quick Fist Mount This was a minor project I did early on and I am no totally happy with it. Its still sitting in the shop but it felt a little like a solution looking for problem rather than a real solution. None the less i kept it on the jeep a while. It uses wing nuts to bolt...

Project: Engine Skid Still being on the low end of jeep cash but with my resources and skills at work I designed and built an engine skid that worked with the RK long arm front crossmember. Instead of trying to build and figure out front mounts, I called MORE and order their and it saved a ton...

Trip: Queen, NM Late in 2016 I got to do some actual jeepin’. Unfortunately it was a day trip. No camping this time. I had smaller kids at the time and family time is very important to me so Jeepin’ was hit and miss and still is is for me. Drove out by myself to meet a couple friends and check...
