I installed the Hamilton in my 2021 LC about 5 months ago. I love it! Having CarPlay (and more importantly all the CarPlay apps) is awesome. Of course, the screen is not the largest to the brightest/most contrast. But it works well enough. I use Google Maps, Waze, Gaia and Trails Offroad...

Thanks for this! I have been frustrated by the volume of phone calls being much quieter than the volume of the music. I had never dug into the System Settings for the Hamilton. I just did and found a lot of things I could tune. I'll need to play with it to get the best balance for me but...

These are not the best pics of the Defender 275/70R18s as they are from a distance. I have my snow tires on now so I can't get you a current pic. But maybe they will give you an idea. I have been running the 275/70R18 (XL) for nearly 2 years. Before that I ran 285/65 E BFG KO2s for about 8...

Did my own install on a 2021 LC. Went fine, works well. It took me a little over an hour because I have never done something like this and I was being very careful. Even after watching a couple videos multiple times I used one while going step by step through the process. The only thing I would...

Never mind. It appears that it automatically resets. All good.

So I’m on a trip and had the same issue trying to charge a Jackery 250. If it is the breaker, how do I reset it?

I routed it down the center then out near where the trim ends and the carpet begins on the passenger side. So it is essentially hidden under the carpet. Not necessarily easy to access but I don’t plan to use wired CarPlay. The video seemed to suggest routing it into the back of that little...

Installed mine this afternoon. Took me about 3 hours as I had multiple "interruptions". I am very pleased with the result for what I need and was hoping for. That said, here are some things to be aware of if doing the install yourself. When you go to watch the install video, there are two of...

I also found the installation for the Beatsonic product to be helpful. They also go through how to disassemble the dash. Very similar process. But they offer a few additional points of advice regarding removing parts. The Hamilton install looks a bit simpler as they only have one "box" to...

For me it is primarily about offloading and overlanding and long road trips (which we do a lot). Gaia, Trails Offroad specifically. The ability to download/save maps and routes offline. The type of information. Trail guide from Trails Offroad. On X works as well though Gaia and Trails...

Thanks. I’ll keep all that in mind. And I’ll take a look at that accessory panel.

I just ordered the Hamilton kit for my 2021 HE. I watched the video a couple of times. I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to messing my my cars but I have installed the Redarc trailer brake controller and a couple other simple things. The only part that worries me is taking apart the dash...

Dang. I just went to Discount Tire and had the 275/65 SLs put on. Oh well. They should be fine. And I am in a bit of a hurry as we are moving from Oregon to Colorado in two weeks and have a ton of stuff on our plate to get ready.

Thanks, Geoff. I never had my KO2s higher than about 46 PSI. Hope you all are doing well. Still towing that Lance 2185? We switched to a Lance 1995 4 years ago and the tongue weight is nearly 200 lbs lighter than what I had with my Lance 2285. So we should be good with C Load (or what they...

I am about to do my seasonal snow tire swap from Nokia's to my KO2s. I noticed the KO2s are a bit torn up on the inside. And given that I don't expect to do any rock crawling in the future - just forest trails - I am considering a lighter tire. I don't need E-rated. But I do two a 6000#...
