The super bright LED cargo area light conversion really help finding the needed ingredients for the soup - beer. We always like to cook with beer, and sometimes we even pour a bit of it into the soup Karl (_N8C0067 (Small).jpg) Attachments ---------------- _N8C0067 (Small).jpg (54KB - 7 downloads) | ||

This allows me to glance at the map, and for my navigator (wife) to read the map while I trek down the road without be dazzled by the white light in the cab - disregarding the the damn GPS ... Even though I have updated my GPS often, it continues to tell me to drive, among other places, directly into the Puget Sound while drive along the Straits of Juan de Fuca here in WA State. Go figure! There are no roads there, just off the cliff into salt water. I do love my LED lights. I buy them at a local boat supply store. Tom | ||

Do you like the clamshell? Yes, I do like the Hannibal set-up together with my now aluminum built tent carrier. You are a bit more protected from foul weather under the clamshell and it's quite cozy in there. I do like the fact, leaving the bedding in there when closing the tent and be ready quickly for the next G-wagen adventure. Very easy access with the new G-wagen rear access ladder (shameless plug) http://www.g-wagenaccessories.com/Pages/roof%20ladder.htm but I couldn't reach the Engel fridge from up there Karl | ||

That's the only way to fly. I used to stand on the spare tire and shoot as far away from the truck as possible or climb down and stumble around for a nice spot but have since realized that's for the less civilized.... | ||

I was also standing on the spare wheel, but I do feature the nice Spare wheel cover on my rig - below! That why I have the new 10 Gallon water tank close to the spare wheel, and remember that water tank spigot has a hose connection.... Karl | ||

I have the new 460 version Baja ladder on my G, and love it. Thanks to Karl I now have the roof rack AND the ladder. It is a great combo for my LWB G. I have send Karl some photos, but will post here if I can figure out the method. Best wishes, Tom | ||

Sounds like a great idea. As simple as just swapping out the original bulb(s)? Or more to it? Thanks, -Mo | ||
