Swap out the fluorescent tube for an LED tube and you're good to go.

yea that's his plan. I'm surprised it didn't break as is.

 

Are you guys still happy with your Whynters? Looking for a fridge and they are one of the few Amazon or anyone will ship up here to Alaska.

 

dude. I love it..

I bought mine from someone that had dropped it and didnt want it anymore. He bought another one.

Hasnt given me any problems

 

I love mine too man. Good bang for your buck!! Mine has been working great for the last 3 years!!

 

We love ours. Going on 4 years with no issues.

 

Only used it one season and around the house. No complaints!

 

I don't know if this is anti overlanding or not.
But my last purchase is a we boost so when we need phone or internet we can get a better signal.
And so far works great. all cell phones are line of sight so sometimes the signal is just weak.
I navigate with my Ipad and hot spot with Verizon so sometimes I need internet to get gas station locations ect and ck weather.

I know the cheap one works but we went with the good one and I got the longer antenna.
So far tested it going to Memphis (10 hr drive from WI) and when I lost signal turned it on and never lost signal again.

When overlanding I know we are suppose to be leaving all that behind but, I also use it for navigating and checking conditions.

I've got the rear set up just about dialed in. Gonna test out the whole thing this weekend in Anza Borrego. It's supposed to be 90+ so the water can will be getting some work lol.

I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out. Thanks again for answering my questions @tacomgee

Oh and @inv3ctiv3 I got a small electric water pump. Thanks for the advice!

 

Actually a really good idea.

 

Got my prinsu rack and oz trail awning installed this weekend... I'd forgotten how big it was. But I'm hoping it'll work with the tent on the back it goes from the snorkel to just before the end of the tool box so I'm hoping I can set the tent back and they'll be fine. If not I'll ditch the awning and get a smaller one

 

If your RTT won't fit, you can try rotating it to open over the tailgate.

 

My rtt sits pretty far back

The foreword most edge of of the tent doesn't go past the tool box lid, and the awning doesn't go any further back than the tool box lid... it should work with the drivers side drop I'll have to haul it out of storage next weekend to test it though

 

Does the tent you have cover the whole long bed? I was thinking about changing mine, but not sure. Also does the ladder still work? Id think that tent was for a full roof like a 4runner or a Jeep

 

Yeah entire bed. Sticks out too. Ladder works fine. I got the adjustable one.

 

that is what I was afraid of. I have the FSR Canopy version now. I dont like how it sticks past the bed. I guess I will be sticking with my current RTT

 

I have tried to get in contact with FSR on both Insta, Facebook, and Email and have yet to get a response...

 

Have you called? Probably super swamped, but when I called in asking for a quote they answered immediately.

 

before I bought, email took 2 days to respond. But when I called, they picked up and were very helpful

 

I rarely like to call, only reason is I like to be able to go back and reference the answer that was given to me.

I know they read the FB message I sent though lol
