    Possible to have a rtt sit flush with the roof (Tacoma) as well as a 270 degree awning mounted higher?

    Anything on the market that I’m aware of will put the awning too low interfering with the tent.

    Largest RTT that will actually sleep 4

    An iKamper, Roofnest Condoor, Torro off-road, or similar fold out hard shell is going to be a little larger than a king bed. Think king bed width with Cali king length. It should suffice for 4 people, 2 of which are kids. You could probably fit a dog in there too. I think they are 76x95 when...

    What's your ideal RAM with mods for overlanding with ~2000lbs payload?

    If you are going to put a camper in the bed, you need a 3500. Period. The coil spring rear end is not suited for that type of payload. Even with airbags, which if you’re adding airbags to a 2500 you really should have just gone with a 3500 in the first place. Plus you get the better...

    Ford just trademarked the Excursion nameplate, looks like it's coming back

    Didn’t Ford put hundreds of millions into Rivian at the end of last year? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Awning idea- extruded track and a folding tarp with poles and guy wires?

    I’d look into a tarp made from DCF (dyneema composite fiber) It won’t stretch like sil nylon, and is inherently water proof while being incredibly strong and light. Also that tarp pictured looks to be loose. I’d stake it out tighter. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Highway robbery with half tons

    It usually depends on the rebate. A lot of times the dealers are double dipping on the manufacture and leaving the buyer out to dry. Rebates are typically paid to the dealer from the manufacturer when you buy a car so you just have to call the dealer out on their shady business. Sent from my...

    2nd Gen Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins / The “Puller” Project

    I would just be concerned about sending unfiltered or soapy water through the water heater. You could potentially clog it up or ruin the element very quickly without clean water. If you filter the water before the water heater just make sure the filter flow rates are greater than your pump...

    Highway robbery with half tons

    I kind of see the argument for dealing with it if you keep the car for 10 plus years. But it’s a risk. All I really know is I absolutely hate paying interest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Highway robbery with half tons

    It’s really not that hard to qualify at 0%. Usually it means a 740 credit score. But you are correct in that the stars have to align for some people. It just depends, you have to shop around. 0% is smart if the retail price ends up being lower than a “deal” after a few years of interest...

    Highway robbery with half tons

    It’s only irresponsible if you have a high interest rate and don’t put any money down. 60 months or higher is smart if you put a big down payment and get a low to 0% rate. It’s foolish not to take advantage if you know how to properly invest your money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New 270 Awning available.

    I’m surprised no one makes a rear 180 awning that is around 72” wide when stored. I’m also surprised no one makes a rear and side awning that connect creating a 270. One of the coolest set ups I ever saw was from Howling Moon. They had a 270 awning that integrated into a tent creating an...

    5th gen RAM AEV

    All the photos they’ve posted on Social Media about ordering a 5thgen show it with a rear bumper. And I’m almost positive that AEV has said publicly that it will work on the 4th gens. But they will cover turn key trucks before they do any for aftermarket. Per usual. Sent from my iPhone...
