    School me on toilets

    What bags are you people using? I've tried the lugable loo bags with the Ziploc seal, smell leaks through pretty bag. I'm using a small dometic chemical toilet, zero smells even after a rough week of wheeling around the forest. The toilet is pretty small, one of the smallest out there.

    New battery cable help

    Try some local battery shops. They will cut and crimp any size length you need. The place I bought my deep cycle battery had a nice setup with any connectors one would need. They were not an auto shop, just a local place that sold deep cycle batteries and such.

    I would refrain from pledging. Kickstarter has no guarantees on delivery. Kickstarter gets a cut of all "donations" right off the bat. Here is one scam that raised 400k in the past on there...

    Factory Jack Replacements

    I like the Toyota bottle jack as well, had to use it a few weeks ago. I carry a different bottle jack with a larger base. I got hung up on a rock at the rear diff and couldn't squeeze that bottle jack under the axle. I couldn't get enough height lifting from the frame. I was stumped and finally...

    Custom Pop-Up Truck Canopy - Help!?

    I installed a round fan in my shell. Its an A.R.E. MX series and only had cardboard up there, no wood at all. I used a Bosch T130RF1 jigsaw blade and the carpet cut just fine. I wish I would have gone with a 4WH popup truck camper shell or a contractor grade metal shell. Every time I go to...
