    Surfboards on truck camper??

    Ok, following up on this. I ended up making a custom rack using 'Airline Track'. It's super sturdy, permanently mounted and just did 5 weeks in Baja with no issues.

    Surfboards on truck camper??

    Indeed. We lost a bunch of boards when I was much younger. Came off somewhere near Catavina. Never did find them. That was the last time that ever happened.

    Surfboards on truck camper??

    That's what I've been thinking. Possibly using L-track? Thinking of 2 tracks mounted vertically. Could use various mounts to attach anything. Hoping someone has already pioneered something I can borrow from.

    Surfboards on truck camper??

    I'm trying to come up with a good way to carry a couple of SUPs on the outside of our AF990. The roof is out as we have tons of solar and starlink up there. Inside is less than ideal as they have to come out every time we stop for lunch or.a pee. Anyone come up with something that is easy to...

    Greater On-(Dirt) Road Capability

    We run about 12-13k loaded. I’m running the Nitto Ridge Grappler in an F rating. Great tire and I can air ‘down’ to 30 without issues. Handles Baja washboard at 25mph with ease. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Dometic DMC4101 10 C.f. Refrigerator

    I had one of these. Sold it with my last rig. It was great. Worked a charm. I’m 90% sure it was 24v capable but you had to open it up and either clip, or connect a wire. Maybe intact the company and find out. Overall a great unit for a good price...

    On-demand global weather via SMS ???

    Yep. In Reach does have weather. I have the SpotX and at the risk of starting a flame war still find it to be the more cost effective and robust platform. I have no interest in switching at this time. I would like to find a service that can SMS a weather report...and I think there used to be one.

    On-demand global weather via SMS ???

    Not sure where else to post this so here goes. Long ago I recall a service where you could text your lat/long and get back a weather forecast. Does anyone know if this still exists and if so, where can I get info on it? If it does not exist, it should! I'd like to be able to text my location...

    Talk Me Out of an OBS as a budget overlanding rig!

    I have ABSOLUTELY nothing bad to say about our ‘02 7.3. It’s not an OBS but it is a great truck. CCLB 4x4 in near pristine condition. Not sure what your budget is but we paid $10k for it. Reliable, great support globally, decent MPG, and a ton of power. For the price I’d buy it again in a...

    Wide vs. Narrow tire size for Truck Campers

    I’m reasonably certain that they carry a Bigfoot 1500 series camper with their truck. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Wide vs. Narrow tire size for Truck Campers

    No. You’re not missing something. He’s got no idea what he’s talking about. He just put your truck into a computer and it said that those fit. And they do fit. But not what you want. I shopped around on the web looking at manufacturer data for lots of wheels before selecting the Method wheels...

    Wide vs. Narrow tire size for Truck Campers

    Super happy with my Nitro Ridge Grapplers. Very quiet on the road, air Dow great, and carry my 4k# camper well. I’m personally running a 35x12.5 18 load range F. Other sizes available though. Just be aware of load rating as different sizes of same tire can vary. Sent from my iPhone using...

    I really like the idea!! Best place for a winch. Unfortunately I carry my 35x12.5 full sized spare under there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Tire speed help

    Well, I do run 315s at max load. I was sensitive to temps for a bit until I got familiar with them. Temps are definitely the important factor. More critical than the speed on the sidewall. I’m sure the OP can run a little over max speed while empty. A check on temps would be a great check. Ymmv...
