Well, that's not strictly correct. There was a line up of people who had all paid deposits. The number of people wanting an XP was way more than they were producing with some waiting around 18 months or more from paying their deposit, a fact which put people off way more than the price. I know...

You could potentially change this line: ".. please recommend any companies that make a poptop camper of good quality yet somewhat affordable..." To: ".. please recommend any companies that make a poptop camper of good quality that might be within my budget .." I know what you meant but .....

That was my concern. I will always be loaded as the camper will be attached 24/7, but even then I will be off road and don't want to be in the middle of nowhere with an expensive Fedex delivery from the US to replace the bags. So ... you just remove the bottom bracket and let me sit in the cup...

I have a Ram 3500 and camper and was about to pull the trigger on some Firestone Ride Rite 'Red Label' Air bags and Daystar cups when i happened to call the mail order company and ask whether they were suited to each other. I was told they were not as the Air Bags were connected top and bottom...

Does the Inreach download maps via satellite? I had planned on ensuring I was stocked with the relevant maps prior to moving on out of cell service but if there is a satellite option if I don't have something then that would be great. I have an iPhone 7+, which has a fairly large screen. I am...

Thanks, is there a reason that people get a GPS device plus a tablet or similar that already has GPS on it? (Ignoring the InReach emergency / messaging options). Everyone seems to be tethering a GPS to a tablet. Is the GPS simply better and more accurate on a Garmin for example or is there...

I am just delving into the GPS, comms, mapping topic and reading through these threads (and most overland threads actually) it seems that there is no 'one answer fits all' for almost any topic. So, I thought I would lay out my info and get some feedback. I want a fairly clean setup that will...

BUMP Would be interested in an answer for this.

Thanks. I am heading towards the Carli Steering Upgrade Kit, that comes with the ball joints and trackbar as well as a steering stabilizer in one kit, presumably at a slight discount to purchasing separately.

Thanks. I think I might run with the Mopar one, from what i have read the steering braces seem to be more compatible with that version too. Is the Synergy Steering upgrade the same as the Mopar Steering 08.5 upgrade?

Hi I think I have dialled down some upgrades but wanted some input. The truck is a 3500 Ram (2007 5.9 Cummins), recently serviced and as expected requires some front end work. The service items that were flagged are: Track bar / Tie Rod / Sway Bar / Ball Joints. As I am going on a fairly...

Thanks. I am not keen on going cheap at all. I guess my main worry was being able to rebuild when required if I am in the middle of nowhere. With a disposable, albeit a decent one, I expect I would be able to find a reasonable replacement a lot easier than a rebuild. If I was staying in more...
