    Sneak Peek….Dodge Mid Sized Pickup Design Leaked!

    What I think would sell faster than lemonade on a triple digit day , is something that would really shake things up : A mid sized mini Power Wagon with Dana 44's front and rear, 35's & a triple range transfer case ! The ZR2 Colorado, Raptor Ranger and the Gladiator Rubicon need some more...

    Off-Road Off-Grid RV Camper Tech Needed

    As with most jobs, it starts out as one thing. Then someone keeps adding things to your job description until they quit, from being underpaid, overworked and the responsibilities of others are placed on the new person. I am retired now but the exact same thing happened to my job. Started out...

    Anyone try the new Renogy 300 ah mini Core ?

    This is all great information. Thanks for the help. It seems that the older I get the harder it is to keep up with the latest technology and what's good and what's not.

    Single burner propane stove that can handle full time on the road!

    We have been using this with great success: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-3-burner-high-output-propane-stove It can simmer but also REALLY put out the heat. We simply got tired of 10,000 btu burners, on windy days. I have also had my eye on this one...

    Anyone try the new Renogy 300 ah mini Core ?

    The thing is, I already have 3 AGM gp 31 batteries and one of them is getting up in age. Believe it or not, I purchased it in 2006, it's a Sears Die Hard Platinum Marine battery, made by Odyssey for Sears, and it is still holding 13.6 volts. It's been in 3 different trucks electrical systems and...

    A.R.E. CX HD for the Chevy Colorado......

    So, I just got a call from the dealer that I ordered our truck cap through. Apparently someone at HQ decided to stop offering the tilt in window option and also the sliding window option. It is either a non opening window or no window at all. Almost every truck now has a sliding rear window...

    Better sleeping pads and mats?

    I am like the princess and the pea. What has made all the difference for me is, using 2 air mattresses. I make one firmer and one softer. That was the ticket. I sleep as good or better camping than I do at home in my adjustable bed. But we vehicle camp. No backpacking. Also, I found that I sleep...

    DC-DC charger as an alternative to generator?

    I just can't understand why the manufacturers don't make a solution for our trucks ? So many people work from their truck and also use truck for camping/overland. People don't want to spend the money for a new truck and find out that in order to make their truck work for them, they will void...

    Energy Efficient food prep: sous vide all in one method.

    Something that I have done in the past is : on previous vehicles, not on our 2023 ZR2 Colorado yet, is use a 700 watt microwave to reheat previously cooked food, on inclement weather conditions days. We got asked all the time, how do we prepare dinner so quickly when the weather is horrible...

    Troubleshooting Renogy DC-DC charger. Is there anything else I can try?

    Glad you figured this out without a fire. I am no expert as I said but I almost had a fire in our brand new 2017 Toyota 4RUNNER OffRoad, due to undersized wiring and a bad 12v socket connection. I was literally seconds away, it had already melted plastic and the burns on my thumb and index...

    Kona Fire Mountain 45% off, opinions needed.

    Old thread but that's a fantastic price. I'm 62 now and absolutely love the Specialized Status 160 I bought a few years back. It's more bike than I will ever use but I love it. I can set it up soft to soak up every urban bump or stiffen it up with a little more air pressure for actual offroad...

    New bikepacking/shredpacking rig!

    Congratulations and enjoy ! I am still loving my Specialized Status 160. It's more bike than I will ever use but I absolutely love it and love the suspension. I can adjust it soft to soak up every urban bump or firmer for trail use. Love it.
