    What are the limitations of a really large expedition vehicle?

    The rig is neat and all but I think one must consider them impacts such a heavy vehicle has on the environment. Some rigs are simply too large and literally teraform the trails and roads as they meander through them. Tread lightly will be impossible after a rain with that much weight displacing...

    RTIC 65 vs Fridge

    You could fit a pretty large fridge there. Excellent spot. I have an ARB but if I could do do it again I’d go Engel combi (fridge freezer or both) I feel like the arb is not very efficient with energy. But that’s a whole other can of worms discussion.

    RTIC 65 vs Fridge

    You lose more space in the cooler after you add ice. No man in existence ever says “Wish I went for that regular overpriced cooler instead of the fridge.’’ Unless of course you are a boater/hunter etc who needs portability. The volume sizes are indeed confusing accross manufacturers, coolers...

    Elevate Portable Grill

    Thanks for taking the time for the review. I like it. My Weber q is amazing but takes up way too much precious space.

    lightweight awning options?

    My camper shell has rain gutters so any water that drips off the canvas makes it’s way to the gutters. However, there is a bit of sagging between tie down points (I just use paracord or bungees) and enough rainfall may overwhelm the gutters but I honestly don’t care, I can just shut side window...

    Shiftpod tent

    It’s literally a pop up ice fishing shelter. Perhaps built a bit better? CLEVER marketing.

    WATER JERRY CAN WITH TAP - BY FRONT RUNNER

    My front runner leaks from both ends. Guess I’ll try the brass cap to fix one of them.

    Cheap tricks and solutions - product modifications, DIY, or repurposed items- not on-sale items

    I second this mod. Run mine through a base camp water heater and have a valve to use only cold (kitchen sink sprayer). Best mod yet! Powered by a yeti 150 I never understood the more costly complicated setups to be honest. But then again I like to remove the tank if I need to use the pickup as...

    lightweight awning options?

    Sure thing. Here’s the amazon link as well to the canvas and cleats. The canvas is quite robust but it does smell badly for a while due to whatever treatment. It’s hand made here in the good old USA. Progrip 832220 Black Hide-a-Hook Anchor Point - Pair...

    02 Taco for $17k...this is getting out of hand.

    Everything is all wrong man. Good for the seller I guess? Tacos are amazingly congruent with real estate when it comes to irrational pricing.

    lightweight awning options?

    I picked up a heavy duty canvas tarp off amazon (some local tractor supply stores have them too) and installed tie down cleats to the roof of my canopy. Two tent poles from REI (heavy duty type) and bobs your uncle.

    Two fridges... how to run(temps) maybe overkill?

    Agreed. But also agree that this line of logic applies to virtually anything... fuel...water...etc.. based on the guys uses it seems overkill. However he also mentioned he needs good healthy food which is remarkably difficult to come across these days. I think maybe one large fridge? I suppose...

    OVRLND camper topper

    This is really a great idea. The market is flooded with Pre-built campers that are “turn key” but configured in the mind of someone else (driving costs to the msrp of the truck!). The greatest fun I have is tinkering and customizing my aluminum camper shell for MY uses. And it can still be used...
