Traded a 2014 (aug 2013 build) JKUR automatic with under 70k. Thing was great, comfy, capable, but engine ticked, 1st radiator replaced at 29k, always smelled like coolant, and had the oil cooler let go in the 40s. All fixed under warranty. Also had a 2015 JKUR, 6 speed, trans rattled a little...

x3. Our lab also had intranet access to shared drives with all of our project files on it, to go with the high horsepower PCs and software licenses. Get her a “good” but not insane MacBook she’ll use for everything else, that way if she loses it or it’s stolen or breaks it’s not a major deal...

Looks good. From a practical perspective, everyone talks about power, MPG, etc etc, but I want to know, how's the in-cabin heat?

I’d recommend 2 smaller tents over 1 giant one if you can figure out a way to mount them. I have a tepui kukenam 4 and it’s a beast to setup and tear down, but it’s huge. If you’re all good sleepers you might fit ok, but one roller or loud snorer and it’s over. My older CVT Mt Shasta was much...

We tow a non-offroad 5x8 cargo/motorcycle trailer with a RTT up top that we use as a base camp. We use it as a kitchen table/living room mostly to get out of the weather or bugs while camping. We could use it as a bedroom also if needed I'd just have to build a bench that converts to a bed...

Thanks, and no, no build thread. The 1 liner summary: 5x8 motorcycle trailer, all aluminum built by nhtrailers.com I built out a simple interior and put a tepui RTT up top. Keeping on topic, I really don't use our little awning over the entry door, I need to seriously consider a larger one...

If Tripplite builds these like they build their PDUs... inside will be cheap, and built for stationary use in a datacenter, not vehicle-mounted. It may behoove you to bench test it, then disassemble it and reinforce wiring and anything else that looks flimsy. Consider mounting it on some...

That’s a big family to keep entertained. I only have 1 but similar tricks should work. In the car we get coloring books - for a 2 yr old we get the invisible ink ones that turn the page different colors, it entertains her for about 30mins a piece. We also hide a small bag full of favorite toys...

Top of the wreckhouse in Newfoundland Apache Trail / Rt88 Outside of Pheonix Maine

I installed the rhino rack backbone on my '15. It was great - we used it with a medium sized CVT roof tent and it was quite enjoyable, despite weighing 120 lbs. Once you sleep up in the air, away from the water/mud/bugs/rocks, it's tough to go back. That said I also pulled the backseat, built...

Sell the RTT and buy this - https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/at-habitat-6500.212189/#post-2732316

We open ours to the back for a couple reasons - it mostly covers our rear galley/kitchen area and the “front door” of the tent (non ladder side) allows us easy access to the roof deck! We’ve found it to be pretty convenient in campgrounds because most spaces are designed for vehicles with...

The RTT does not need any support underneath the open side - by design. If you kick the ladder out it won't fold down past horizontal. Just don't use it as an engine hoist and you'll be fine. The ladder, properly setup, will prevent the open end from bouncing around though. To keep the...

Sell the Glad and get a ram 2500... can spec one with factory dual alternators, total output 440A...

I ordered a 5x8 motorcycle trailer. I had them upgrade the axle from a 2000# to a 3500# with10” electric brakes (also added a bunch of payload capacity). Other options were side camper door, a 30x30 window, fully insulated walls and ceiling, reinforced roof for walking on, roof rack for a roof...

I bought mine from https://www.roverparts.com/ (no affiliation). They don’t leak a drop of non potable water.

Want a lightweight aluminum 5x8 box ? Www.nhtrailers.com. No affiliation but I’m happy with mine. Can custom spec them with insulation, hard roof, vents, brakes, electrical, camper doors, etc

I had Proline trailers out of NH build my 5x8. They were super helpful and open to custom everything. Mine is fully insulated with a custom roof rack. They were a pleasure to work with. Www.nhtrailers.com
