I tell you . . . there's always someone around to squash your brilliance. :sombrero: I do have the factory blow up spare, which will give me a tire, but I haven't yet done the test of seeing what the computers think of the diameter mismatch, though limping somewhere at low speed will likely...

Photos, as promised . . . 255/60R19 Goodyear Wrangle Adventure All-Terrains on 8.5 x 19 Sport Edition WX5 rims. The truck is a 2012 Cayenne Twin Turbo. The combination of options--PASM/air suspension, PDCC, and PTV Plus--means it can have something over 11 inches of ground clearance and the...

Well, there's a sound idea. I'll take some tomorrow and post them.

Off-pavement wheels for a Gen II Cayenne Turbo The number of people who'll care about this is probably vanishingly small, but had this information been available to me from the internet, it'd would have saved a lot of time and anxiety. So as a public service . . . I have a second generation...

I once mounted the 'Roo on my Samurai's 27" wheel by basically folding up the lower 40% and trapping it between the bag and tire. Strap modifications, as discussed, did the rest. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good, and nothing matches the Trasharoo's value . . . gigantic well-made bag...

i got one put in the back of my Stahl service body trailer. I found it handy. It was way easier to get at your stuff than if it was inside the 4x8 bed of the trailer. It also made loading, unloading and, especially, tying down a motorcycle a lot easier. I made liberal use of stabilizer jacks to...

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. Always a pleasure to see the Bullet, which Sue and Evelyn were very taken with . . . so I'm pretty sure they'd be eager to see me work some sort of trade that would get Bethany in the hack. And by the way, while Jeremy acts the aficionado by posting up that...

Dion's messin' with you, Jer. There's a clause in the contract that says he only gets to make changes after getting my approval. Though who wouldn't approve of a spiffy new LED light bar. We haven't, however, come to grips with the best use of those two pairs of round holes molded into the nose...

Thanks for sharing all of these resources. It's great that you took the time to do this for us. Couldn't tell where you were from. Is this a trip in your backyard, or did you travel a distance to do the OBDR?

I have had one each of their men's shorts and pants. A nice product with excellent workmanship, and the zippers and flaps they designed to keep the nefarious away are excellent for stopping things like the truck keys from falling out. Worth your consideration, IMHO.

Solidly in first place in ExPo's Most Optimistic Question of 2015 competition. :sombrero:

I don't know why, Jer. You sat squarely facing the driver's side, so the window was behind you, where it wasn't even comfortable to lean against. Must be those eyes you have in the back of your head. :sombrero:

Thanks for sharing the excellent photos. Very nice work.

I know it's a little boring around here, but it's not from a lack of things getting done. I had a really good conversation with Dion yesterday afternoon and was impressed with all the progress that had been made. He's just concentrating more on doing the work than on putting up pictures of what...

Sprinters floors are pretty high off the ground, but I think it would work to have your kitchen pull out from the floor through the rear doors. If you built a full-width pull-out unit about 10" high, then set the fridge down into it and had, say, an 8" drawer and set the stove on top of that...

The answer is complicated by the fact that the window (or sheet metal in place of the window) is set back into a considerable recess. It's a thick as three inches front to back (a bit less toward the top) and, more to the point, about two inches vertically all the way around. So the distance...

Paul put it together with some very clever touches, and it's proving even more and more livable as time goes on. Probably the easiest to live out of of all the half-dozen campers I've had. It's 26.5 inches. That might be about 3/4" higher than a dead stock on because my tires are a bit bigger...

Thanks for the kind words. Let me know if you need to come over to see it or take measurements of some such.

I'll be following along. Good luck with the project. Careful with the Amazon account, though. Jeff Bezos made enough off the build stuff I bought from Amazon to buy the Washington Post.

Thanks to all those who, like Brian, have written up useful comparisons of the two models. It's very useful to share actual user infformation, and it's much appreciated.
