    Continued from above... I recently discovered another organizer from the LastUSBagCompany that looked like it would work perfectly to store our clothing in the Mule Bags. I've been running their seat back organizers for years (See page 27) and my orginal unit still looks like new. They call...

    Storage Organization. For the past 4 years I've been running Overland Gear Guy storage organizers in my overhead Adventure Wagon Mule bags. The Mule bags are absolutly awesome but they are just giant open caverns and hard to keep anything organized in by themselves. The Overland Gear Guy...

    Scout YOHO Fridge Hold Open Mod. When opening the lid on the fridge the bed cushion keeps the lid from being able to stay open on its own, resulting in having to hold the lid open with one hand while loading the fridge with the other...not the most convenient setup. Time for a fix! Supplies...

    Time for a mattress upgrade! The 3" mattress that came in the YOHO is waaaaaay to firm for our liking, making for an uncomfortable sleep. We ordered up a 5" Gel/Memory Foam mattress in Medium Firm and set to work installing it. Supplies used: Note: Some of the links below are my Amazon...

    Always look & listen to what your vehicle is trying to tell you! Recently I installed a new fan/clutch assembly and afterwards was listening closely to the engine as it was idling, giving everything a good looking over. I could hear a very faint growly noise that would come and go, coming...

    Time to update the rear hold down points. For the rear I ordered the Total Chaos bed stiffeners, they are very well made and tie into the frame with the bed bolts like the mounts I built for the front. The braces came well packed and ready to install with all hardware. Supplies used: Note...

    Continued from above.... Making sure I got the hole drilled in the correct location. Yep, still fits perfectly. Rounding the corners. Once marked I use the Portaband to remove most of the material, then over to the sander to give it the final touch and clean it up. One side...

    Project Overkill! - Stronger tie down points. We have our YOHO on a 2012 Tacoma which uses the plastic/composite bed. The OEM tie downs just don't give us a warm fuzzy feeling as they are small and only attach into the plastic/fiberglass itself. When tightening down the straps you can see...

    A little maintenance. My wife was driving the van around town in 90 deg weather recently and when she got home she said "there was an alarm that came on saying Coolant Temp on the Scangauge while she was at a stop light with the AC running". I set an alarm of 220 deg F on the scangauge...

    Fridge clearance. The door on the fridge hits the window frame when you open it, so you end up having to slide the fridge over away from the wall. But the next time you go to use it the fridge has worked its way back against the wall again and you have to slide it back once more. Time for a...
