Nice, clean looking install 👍

101 F. Yesterday here East of the Mississippi in Illinois, and about 115 in the factory🥵. I’m ready for cool weather

I enjoyed the pictures…..thanks!

Thank you 😊 I hope you get some help. I’m right in the middle of my build… I built my own tracks for my LED light bars, and made aluminum diffusers to block the harsh white light and to create a shield from the curtain fabric. I tested them out the other night. The light goes up, bounces of the...

Below: I cut back the masking tape to sand the surface of the gel coat with 80 weight sandpaper, and cleaned the surface and the plastic vent flange with acetone (per instructions on the 3M 5200 marine adhesive. Below: Push the trim ring in from underneath - but not all the way flush. For...

Here’s pictures following the install : Below: The highest point and I layed it out in the radius where the center and rear support ribs are. Be sure to leave enough room for the outer diameter as the bottom of the vent lays flush with the roof. Below; Protect the fiberglass gel coat with...

👍 h2opup - I don’t leave it on there all the time😀….. more for farm use and special jobs. Something smaller would be better for long trips (I’ve seen the illustration of using the hilift Jack for pulling. Might get a guy out of a jam (and light weight)

Oh….I've got that covered😉 17,500# and a large snatch block

I plan to install it this coming weekend…… I’ll be sure to post pictures? I’ve been cautious, and keep evaluating where I think I want it to go - once I cut the hole there’s no going back?

Also, if you have a welding machine or a friend who does you can make adapters that won’t let the bottle Jack slip. I have them made for all four corners of my truck. These are for my 20 ton bottle jacks (air assist) that I use in my shop. I still use Jack stands and don’t forget to chock the...

Along the same line as collard greens, my wife and I stopped at Lamberts (where they throw the rolls) We each got white beans which came with a side. My wife ordered ham, and I ordered jowl meat. “Ooohh, that sounds disgusting” she said. I told her when I was growing up we did our own...

Yep, the only good thing about getting old “er” is learning to work smart and not hard?

In the 60’s - Still a kid, but remembering the neighborhood, teenage hippie girls in my block — huh, I don’t seem to recall any hippie guys ?

I found these, they work perfect! Super easy to set the temperature, but reads out in Celsius only. Two wires in (power), two wires out (load) and the temperature probe…… doesn’t get much easier than that! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08QZ5VRYC?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image I got rid of the...

I ending up buying this. Upon request West Marine sent me the Marinco full manual to read before buying. I’ve opened it up and inspected it, exactly the size I wanted. With the camping base installed I’m only looking at roughly 176 cubic feet. I’ll post some pictures once I get it installed...

That’s the ticket! Thank you, think I found exactly what I needed at West Marine?

There’s not much structural integrity to the topper roof and is just a single layer of fiberglass w/ gel coat and didn’t want to cut that large of a hole?‍♂️ realize it has cut outs for the windows but the cubic foot of the space is pretty small. and I would think a 6” flu (fan) would remove...

Has anyone done a DIY, add of a small 12V roof fan / vent to a topper, small box trailer, or slide in camper that they could recommend? I am wanting something small for like a 6” hole. I’ve seen options on Google and Amazon but the reviews aren’t very favorable. So I thought I’d ask if anyone...

Can anyone recommend a good 12V thermostat for wiring into my water tank heated pad? I bought these pads, and they work, but the little thermostats that came with it are junk……pad came on in the warm weather right away (I followed schematic- red wire hot / blue wire ground…….China...

I’m going to fast forward a bit to the outside. I got a great deal on the Leer topper a couple years ago, but I had to put a lot of elbow grease into it. Pressure wash outside, scrubbed mildew and pressure washed the inside. Bought new keys. Changed gas struts on the back window, and replaced...

superduty, Sorry I can’t give you any “first hand” experience yet. It’s in the works. I have watched a ton of you tube videos and in one of the videos saw it done this way: While it might be a little more work my plan Is to buy or build a step that hangs over the tire. I’ll use the outer rear...

Hopefully this will help any members on Wander the West who own 99-03 Power Stroke Diesels. I’ve done a lot of upgrades to my Diesel since buying it in 2018. It is a 2002 and after 20+ years things get wore out and tired. I have removed the bed, and replaced the bad support channels, pulled...

Sounds like a solid plan?. After all, hopefully most of my time is spent on the water, in the woods, ot around a campfire?

?? Not that I’m aware of…… I’m a pretty light sleeper. I don’t ice fish yet, although I would like to go up North and give it a go. So that’s a No for now? I will try to figure out what some of the loads are that I ‘might’ add. A 12V television and small microwave to “reheat” for torrential...

^^^^ Jon R, I’m starting to buy components - what would your recommendation be for positive (+) cable size from the house battery positive post (and fuse size) out to the positive bus bar and loads), given your reply above? Wondering if the #6 is too small? (As we discussed earlier for the dc...
