There's sort of two questions here: 1) What design of RTT is the "best" in 2025? 2) What company has the best execution of said design in 2025? The reason I split the questions out is that there has been a lot of innovation in the RTT space over the last decade. It used to be that everyone was...

Even more evidence that you got an incredibly good deal! I think that's the truth of it - the raw price of the vehicle is irrelevant but the price relative to other vehicles is very much an important factor; they aren't charging the value of the construction +10%, they are charging what the...

Congrats on the great deal! Toyota doesn't deal often and not to the degree that Jeep does. Occasionally they want to move last year's models so there can be deals had, but, we don't often see it in the 4x4 space with Toyota because there's usually not a lot of 2024 models of, say, the 4-Runner...

It's great to see so many folks who have been well served by their Jeeps! But, individual experiences with a particular vehicle aren't relevant to other buyers really - they are only relevant to the buyer who had the good experience, and maybe a trusted friend or two. I'm not surprised...

This won't make you feel better but I can promise they didn't say that to your daughter because she's an American. They say the same stuff to us here in Canada all the time! For example - my throw out bearing went after about 25,000 kilometers on a new JK and was told that I'd have to put up...

I have the Mini and have been testing it the last few months both at home and on a big trip. It works great for 99.9% of the time, and my obstructions are minimal for the most part and I would describe them as similar to yours. I have 98.47% ping success rate, but it doesn't work great for video...

Hang on, I gotta pretend to be a Toyota hater for this joke: If they are so reliable and long-lasting why'd you have to buy so many of them? ;) I am kidding of course, I love Toyota's contributions to the 4x4 world. All jokes aside, no I don't think Toyota has lost it's mojo (though I am sorry...

The beast has a nice racing stripe on the hood. The beauty looks great in the background. ;)

As Expo's resident "Mid Size Evangelical", I will chime in here to say: Prices are similar, and so are specs - I've shared this before but the differences in payloads can sometimes be a scant couple hundred pounds. In some cases, there are full size 1/2 tons with lower payload than mid-sized...

I generally prefer cooking over gas - induction can be faster to boil a pot of water, but gas is quite versatile for all sorts of cooking tasks - but I also 100% appreciate the OP's question as I despise having to carry multiple fuel types with me everywhere. ASPW of 4xOverland on YouTube did...

Part 2: Good Tent Details: The tent fabric is good and as advertised, so let's talk a bit about the features of the design: It's got a great big skylight with a clear plastic window on it. Our prior tent had skylights but you'd have to remove the rainfly to see the sky; with this tent you can...

Hi folks, We've recently acquired ourselves a new "Summer Home" in the form of a Go Overland Canada Expedition XL tent. We've only got 6 nights in it so far, but I wanted to share a bit about our really positive experience with this tent. Part 1: (Forum Word Count doesn't like longer threads)...

I ran a Gobi Stealth on my JK, and @NatersXJ6 summed up the pros and cons perfectly, but I'll add one more con: Weight. The Gobi Rack is heavy for what it does, partially because of it's advantages (tying into the frame) but also partly because of it's disadvantages (the ladder that doesn't work...

Grateful for you sharing your experience. When we buy equipment from any vendor, it comes with some expectations, and when those aren't met it takes someone posting up their experience to teach others with that same equipment what to look out for on their own kit. I like the "one is none and...

That's an exceptional total camper weight for a rig this size, in my opinion. I'm on a mid-size rig and I'm not too far below that myself, and the fact is a bigger rig = more material to box it in = more weight, so that's another testament to your design, materials, and build. Very cool rig -...
