    Alibaba campers

    Looks kinda cool. Interested to see what it ends up looking like in person. I cant imagine it is all that different from the US camper companies. I imagine a lot of the components are from over seas.

    Callen Style Truck Campers

    Quite the sad story and demise of Callen Campers. I saw they got bought by some young guys after they closed shop and they tried to revamp it but it didn't last long.

    Do you need to tell your vehicle insurance company (liability only) about every little mod?

    Paraphrasing everything here. He said it doesn't change with Liability since parts are considered property. He gave an example: (again, paraphrasing) "if someone gets hurt when you're using a winch, it's covered. If you are deemed liable for whatever accident, then it's covered. If the winch...

    Do you need to tell your vehicle insurance company (liability only) about every little mod?

    This post has been on my mind for a few days now. I talked to a good friend of mine who is a State Farm agent, he said that it completely depends on your insurance carrier and what they will accept. Replacement cost and deprecation are the name of the game. His example was if you spend 5k on...

    Do you need to tell your vehicle insurance company (liability only) about every little mod?

    I have AAA for my car insurance and my insurance guy said that they will cover it if I let them know before and claim is processed and can show proof of purchasing it new, not used. I'm cheap and buy most of my stuff used so I left the conversation at that. Not sure if it has changed. This was...

    Winter Wanderings: Ironwood, Anza Borrego, and KofA

    Sweet adventure! I have always wanted to give the offroad trailer a try and do something like this. Moreso for the kids but would still be fun to try it out.

    What a cool project.

    Ford CEO Promises A New Affordable ICE Pickup Truck Coming (if you're patient)

    Maybe in 2WD. In my area, you're lucky to get out the door high 40's. Some dealers are asking mid to high 50's for 4x4 STX. Absolutely ridiculous. Pre covid STX prices were 41k tops. I miss those day.

    '27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

    I got into a deep half argument half debate on if this is basically a rebel with a few add ons or if this is a real power wagon. The guy I was debating with I think was a die hard PW guy and my position was basically your argument here. There is a significantly larger crowd for this version of...

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    Nice looking jack mount. I also have a badlands jack and have been trying to figure out best solution for it. Like you I also don't want that much weight on the bedsides. I want like a bed stiffner, spare tire carries and jack mount all in one. Haven't found anything I like or want to pay for so...

    Honesty time, are they worth it?

    I've been following them closely as well and I think they are so awesome. If you want some real info, go to the ineosgrenadier reddit page. I imagine you'll get significantly more information on there than you would here. I don't think there are too many on here right now for the reasons you...

    Camp Chairs

    I'm officially in the market for a new camp chair or two. I have been using my trusty tommy Bahama Costco chairs for well over a decade. Was camping recently and everyone had a nice chair except for me so I want to upgrade. I have a $100 gift certificate to REI that I got for xmas so my intent...

    How are you communicating on the trail or on the road?

    I went with Midland MXT275 because of how popular it is. Affordable-ish, works well and can be delivered to your door via amazon overnight. Everyone I wheel with has one, or another GMRS. It's just simple. I don't have a desire or need for anything more than that. On the rare occasion someone...

    Atl-atl's Alaskan 650si documentation thread!!

    You in So Cal now? Pretty sure the first pic of the camper on the trailer is at my exit in San Diego. Edit: Ah, I see you picked up at TCG.

    If you drove a EV truck, with a camper top

    This is literally only something an EV owner would be upset about.
