Raft guy weighing in. We use high volume compressors. Leaf blowers can work. DeWalt and Milwaukee make these small 12v blowers that are small and handy. If your only blowing up that dingy once in awhile you can make do with your compressor. I use a shop vac to compress the raft and put it...

Good looking Spaniel. I have no doubt he approves of your beer capacity.

In Whitewater world we mostly use Partner Stoves. They are heavy duty aluminum and can take brutal beatings, sand and water intrusion. They are also infinitely rebuildable with readily available O Rings. The downside: expensive and relatively low btu.

I have. I believe there was some overlap on the frame horn but nothing to worry about. I had to loosen both front body mounts at the same time to get the clearance I needed in there, It was a pain lining up the bolts for the cooler mount.

Monster Hook (MHI) is a sponsor on the site. I know Marco owns his CNC machines, runs them himself, and has original designs. I've been happy with his gear but havent had to hang from a waterfall or anything yet.

I got to meet all the Morrflate guys (Travis and company) at an event about 8 weeks ago, and go wheeling with them. Super nice guys they demo'd everything and they do a ton of free recovery at King of Hammers every year. I want to switch over to their stuff and would not hesitate to do business...

The former risk manager in me squirms at some of the stuff Amazon sells. This might be fine, but your rig and someone's life will eventually rely on this in a sticky situation. Amazon does not and will not be held accountable for the things they sell. Amazon does no vetting of the products and...

Monster Hook, a sponsor here, makes a solid metal replacement for the OE recovery point on the rear of the Bronco. I just got some, need to bolt them up. They are for designed for soft shackle and bolt directly to the longitudinal frame area.

Of course you need a fridge and a death spork and a skottle. A good rotomolded cooler can also keep ice for a week. We can go 10- 27 days on river trips too, but not everyone can manage that well. Here are some universal tips: Ice Academy Have fun with the build.

I got to meet Marc at an Overland show in Flagstaff, and Monster is an innovative company that puts their heart into their work. These are the companies I love to work with when I can. At the end of the day while not every innovation may be a home run it's the innovators that enhance our...

There stuff looks good, but I haven't seen it up close. I noticed you can't open the lid with the handle extended. That's why ours is placed differently. Ours also has almost twice the insulation of the other name brands. Otherwise we focus on square shapes, and recessed cam actuated latches...

The rotomolded coolers dont have huge margins. the COGS are Ok before freight. They also require a lot more hand finishing then injection molded items. The last mile shipping is the real killer. We ship empty boxes all over the world and the high relative volume is punished by freight carriers...

You have limited room, I don't know your dimensions but the Jeep, and FJ crowd (and even Subaru) gravitate toward the 35 qt coolers. Certainly no bigger than a 55 qt. A fuller cooler also has less airspace, so the ice last longer too.

Thats exactly what I did. I paired it with the speedflate 2 tire system. I needed to add a third line to reach things the way i wanted to. Also the speedflate bag has these pull strings that get tangled in the coils of the airline. besides that it has been a good setup. the VIAR gets hot doing...

Mud, what mud ? I bashed mine enough at speed that the winch isn't presently working. Got a new controller via the RC Warranty, diggin into it this Saturday. Still happy I went this direction versus a high mount. If I were to start from scratch I'd stick the winch in the back and get an...

I recall drooling over these at Overland West. Weirdly my Wildtrak only has one loop. More a question of when not if I get a set ! Love watching your innovations.

Are you publishing your notes on this beauty or selling it ? I have to tear into my hidden winch this Saturday and replace the controller.

He makes gorgeous innovative stuff.

They do, it's just not very good.
