    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    Any luck with the spacer lift? I have done countless research on 11+ Touareg and Cayenne lift options. You seem to be the first one to attempt it.

    Aliner/Chalet Off Road

    I am moving away from a Tent style Trailer. I owned a Kamparoo weekender, and while it was nice and amazing offroad it lacked a few features I want now that I am getting older. We also camp a lot in inclement weather, and canvas must be aired out to prevent mold. A hard sided is a lot more...

    Aliner/Chalet Off Road

    Hey everyone, I recently sold my Kamparoo Weekender (excellent trailer for off road use) to upgrade to a trailer with a few more amenities. I have been looking at all kinds from Fibreglass (Bigfoot/Casita/Escape) trailers, to Aframe trailers. The Fiberglass trailers seem to be a bit expensive...

    FS: Kamparoo Weekender. Vancouver BC Canada

    That video @ 1.10 is about how long it takes me to open it alone, except My roof rack/floor is bolted onto the trailer. It is very quick and easy. The big awning+wall is about a 15 minute ordeal. It also has a surprising amount of storage. My bedding/pillows/kitchen stuff/utensils/propane...

    FS: Kamparoo Weekender. Vancouver BC Canada

    If you are a fit guy, you can open/close it easily without the hand crank. Without the hand crank I can open it and have it set up in 2 minutes or less. Closing you need to ensure the canvas is tucked inside so it's about 5 minutes with 1 person. 2-3 with 2 people, maybe less.

    off road capability of stock 3rd gen vs. stock 4th gen

    Also, the 4th gen does NOT have A-trac like the FJ cruiser or Tacoma off-road. They have a center locking diff and regular traction control. It sounds like you are not a hardcore wheeler, so you will be fine in either truck. If you are adding a small lift, I would hands down pick a 4th. You...

    Tacoma 2008 long bed and FWC

    No need for a new truck. Much of the Tacoma's low payload comes from the horrible stock leaf springs. Add airbags or a new set of leafs (OME Dakar, AllPro Expo) and you will easily be able to handle the weight. Quite a few guy's here run the same setup, check out the "pop-up camper" section...

    off road capability of stock 3rd gen vs. stock 4th gen

    I owned a 99 with rear elocker and a 2004 V8 sr5. I will say the 3rd gen is great offroad with plenty of ground clearance and way more wheel travel. The 4th gen lacks clearance and travel. The 4th is by farrrr a nicer on road truck, and I would easily buy another 4th gen over another 3rd.

    4.7L V8 reliability?

    That is the best part above the 4.7L. I have yet to see anyone say anything other than it was one of their favorite engines to drive. The 4.0L is reliable and has some power, but just doesn't feel as powerful and refined as the 4.7.
