FEEDBACK –  

Mark Carrera 

Once again, I have a comment on your last show.  At one time, I considered a Subaru, but reality reared its head.  I need to carry stuff, either in the vehicle or towing a trailer.  I went with a Ram 1500.  I know a huge change.

I wanted a drawer system but can’t afford a manufactured version.  I built one.  Living in New Mexico, I don’t get enough rain to test the weather resistance.  But I did take a trip to Wisconsin last September.  It rained for two days, and inside, the drawers were dry. They are not dustproof but have kept out the little snow we got in December.

I covered the top with bed liner.  I added some sand to reduce cargo movement.  In front of the drawers, I added space for a second battery, a DC-DC charger, and a 2000 watt inverter (when I can afford them).  I ran conduit between that section and the back for some DC outlets and an AC outlet.  I am attaching some photos.

Dan –  Went to Alaska and shot a caribou.  Met Daniel Grooters ( and “helped” with the race Xterra. Met @car_jeep and @rogueoverland. Then on a whim finally met Jerry from Tembo Tusk. Cut my roof rack in half to add 12″. Went to the Hammers.  Saw awesome things. Also saw the new Bronco. Met one of the Gary’s from the NWJeepcast team. Had Covid but survived. Still don’t know where I’m moving to this summer.  Installed Milestar Patagonia A/T Rs on the Ram truck.

hi dan. listened to every episode and love the show! saw this meme and started cracking up at the xj stereotype. Keep making an awesome show and tell rich one of my life goals is to meet him.  i’m so thankful for your show dan, it’s completely changed my outlook on camping and exploring. every night my girlfriend gets an earful about everything learned today on the 4×4 podcast. I have a 2008 Explorer that i always shamed for not being capable but now i shame myself for that outlook. even though the aftermarket is terrible and i can’t for the life of me fit 33s on it, i still drive it up the moutain and have a blast cooking dutch oven pizza! Hope to meet you and crew someday

FEEDBACK –  Mark Carrera via email

The latest podcast reminded me of a suggestion for you.  Have you ever checked out Kent Rollin’s youtube channel?  This guy is the real deal cast iron chef.  He used to cater meals to ranches during cattle working from a real chuckwagon.  I think you would enjoy him.  BTW he beat Bobby Flay in chicken fried steak and won on Chopped Kitchen Grilling Edition.  I do like his saying, you can’t get full on fancy.
