Ehh, round peg, square hole, GM things, but to each his own.

AEV has always been grossly overpriced. But yes, most will simply buy the parts they want and modify their current trucks, myself included.

It's funny; they've been talking about this since 2022. Four years later, they finally release it, and I couldn't be more underwhelmed. Over on the Tremor forums, it's not getting much love. It's going over like a wet blanket in the middle of January. I had high hopes for the fenders and...

As a former PW owner and current diesel Tremor owner, I feel like I am the target market for this vehicle. Back when I owned my PW, my two biggest complaints were that it lacked a diesel, and the payload and towing were pathetic. Sadly, you can't have your cake and eat it too when it comes to...

And they still couldn't figure out how to add a winch.

I miss the 200 at times, but not to the degree that I thought I would, and honestly, not that much at all. We have a GX550 Overtrail in place of our 2022 GX460 now, and it replaces the 200 in many ways, and in some ways, it's much better. I am still somewhat active over on Mud, but only in the...

I have been drooling over the Grenadier ever since it came out. We've done two test drives but never come close to buying, yet they still eat at me. I just can't comfort myself into the unknowns of their long-term reliability and resale. Does the company have staying power here in the States or...

I received a Badlands 3-Ton off-road floor jack as a gift over a year ago. It sat in the box ever since, as I didn't have a way to safely and securely haul it in the bed of the truck. I had gone back and forth on mounting it to molle panels on the side of the bed, but I don't like the idea of...

Yea, different strokes for different folks. I still find many things about the FWC appealing as well. No one make is perfect, you've just gotta pick the one that checks more boxes for you and your personal desires.

I've been in both as well, and I have to agree here, they are definitely on par with one another in terms of build quality. Very drastically different design concepts, and that's subjective, but a buyer should be extremely happy with either product.

Makes me miss my PW. Love the build, keep up the good work!

I've lusted after E-Series builds for many years. I lived in Austin back in the late 2000's and just around the corner from me was Sportsmobile. I'd drive by there daily, drooling over their creations. I still kick around the idea of building one, but I'll be into it some $70K+ for something...

I forgot these had live axles up front, pretty cool. Love the idea behind the use, should make for an affordable yet capable off-roader.

I loved mine, but the misses wasn't a fan, and it certainly didn't allow for the dogs to travel with us, so it went on down the road before it reached its full potential. That said, if I could have one on the side for solo travel or short trips with the misses, I'd do it again in a heartbeat...

Our place has lots of rocks and cedar, it tears up the SxS's in short order, but we have dedicated rigs out there, so this one rarely sees much use there. That said, one of those machines is down, so I'll be dragging it out there next weekend.
