The strip that runs down both sides of a Renegade that incorporates the basement compartment hinges...I don't know what to call it. Is it supposed to have a bead of caulk at the top? Mile looks like it might have had some or has some behind it, but I am not certain. Should it be sealed?

Just tried out the sennheiser wireless headphones on a little road trip. Looks like that is going to be the way to enjoy a movie while on the road. It beats the heck out of the surround sound competing with the Detroit. Couldn't stand it. After upgrading the amber clearance lights, I had...

Heck, I think I already have those. I thought they were just to keep the grime out. Did not know they would hold pressure. The mopar wiring harness is in my Amazon shopping cart!

Wow, thanks so much for all the information. She hopes to purchase an '08 Wrangler Unlimited "X" 4-door. I like the wiring harness option. Yes, I refuse to alter the truck's air system. After sending SMI a photo of my truck's tractor protection valve, they agreed that their onboard system...

Out of the blue, my dw orders herself a used jeep through Carmax as a toad. Assuming the sale goes through, I am back in the toad business again! I've only got three weeks to get it rigged too. After revisiting the topic, I am more confused than before. I've taken another hard look at SMI...

That is a pretty slick setup. I'd have to agree about the siren. I'd see a trooper long before I could ever hear his siren!

Ok, forgot to mention that I upgraded the porch light to LED, and put a new motor on the electric stairs. Replaced both FM antennas and ordered new CB antennas, thanks to some helpful advice from BushPilot. My entertainment center project took an interesting turn. When I removed the trim, I...

I used the Bauer EM keyless. Seems to be pretty nicely made. Yes, finally I am making some progress. I've got 30 days remaining to finish preparations to be on the road for almost 50 days!

Ok, I've got most of the stuff on my list done. Unfortunately, I keep either finding broken stuff, or breaking stuff myself, which certainly slows my progress. So far: Dated outside entertainment center has been converted into storage with an entertainment "console" with a blue tooth compact...

very nice!

I've sent Dave at DeepSpace all the photos and measurements of my truck's lighting configuration. I hope he can build (and I can afford) a complete lighting upgrade, while also retaining much of the truck's original appearance. I completely agree with the previous remark about costly lighting...

That is a really sharp looking rig!

Photo of deep space fog lights installed.

One of the little yellow (and practically useless) fog lights in the bumper of my truck took on water and failed. While searching for a replacement, I ran across deepspacelighting.com and their customized morimoto led replacements. It only took about 30 minutes to install and adjust them last...

About two months and two weeks until our departure for AK. I'd like to impose on anyone here who has been up there recently in their TC to share your experiences. Any particular concerns, dos and don'ts, etc. We thought we were going to make the trip unencumbered, then we thought we'd take a...

We seem to have it pared down to a custom enclosed car hauler, instead of a stacker. There is no sense in putting any sort of AC or other accommodations in it because all of the campgrounds we frequent won't accept the length. That would put the trailer in overflow parking where we could not...

Ok. I got a pair of 25' 2ga. cables. I wanted to go with a larger gauge, but in American made, the next step up that I found was triple the price. Jump box idea abandoned for now.

Yes, the Jump n Carry truck pac and the Rescue 2000 were the two I was wondering about.

Thoughts? My limited research indicates that there are a few jump box manufacturers who claim their jump box will start a semi-truck. My research also indicates that good 1/0 gauge american made jumper cables are comparable in price to the aforementioned jump boxes.

Hello and welcome!

Yep, that is quite a place. Lots of money floating around. The very nice white haired gentleman next to me was sporting a Prevost, a new Tesla, a new Camaro, a tricked out golf cart, two lots in Bluewater, and a bride who appeared to be about ~20 yrs his junior! God bless him!

Very good. I'll add my tire plugging kit to to the emergency gear list.

Can a truck tire be plugged like an auto/light truck tire, or does it require a professional repair?

We stayed in Bluewater Key RV resort (bluewaterkey.com), it was great! Helpful courteous staff, absolutely amazing waterfront sites. We are already planning to return next year for the children's spring break. Hope we can get a site.

Took a quick trip to the FL Keys last week. With the whole gang onboard, a full tank of water, and my wife's little SUV on the trailer: Did four top offs in about 2300 miles. Overall average was 7 mpg. First leg at 75mph yielded about 5.7 mpg. Slowing down to 70mph brought the average up...
