    Possible to store roof top tent ladder under roof rack?

    A James Baroud style ladder may work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    I didn’t say that in the least. A rifle is fantastic, and preferred, for defense. But that Marlin you posted would be very difficult to conceal and not be a very wise choice for defense due to a number of reasons. Plus, as we agree, leaving it in the car is foolish. The post is intended to...

    Cracks on James Baroud Evasion

    I did. I don’t think Antonio does anything more other than approving or denying warranty claims. You most likely need to contact AR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cracks on James Baroud Evasion

    So JB in Portugal sends all their tents to AR in Seattle. From there they are shipped out to dealers, from what I understand. So mine was shipped in a massive stock of tents to AR in Seattle. From their AR inspected the tent and re packaged and palletized it. Then sent it to me in GA. It was...

    Cracks on James Baroud Evasion

    Oh man. It’s been an experience to say the least. So in July of 2019 I contacted JB. It took many months and emails and phone calls and social media DMs but in November of ‘19 I was told I would be getting a replacement. I gave them photos and a description of the issue as well as a video in...

    EPA Diesel Engine “Delete Tuning” Crackdown...Is It Here Now?

    I was not aware the Ford line did that. Either way, my statement still is true. The engine has to be tuned for the octane. So running a higher grade fuel will not improve performance, unless other metrics are met. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    ARB Awning - Re-waterproofing?

    Go to any outdoor store and buy the DWR refinishing product and seam sealer designed for tent fabrics. Double check the label to make sure it works on your awning since it’s not 100% sil nylon. I like this brand: https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/productselector/waterproofing.php But this is...

    EPA Diesel Engine “Delete Tuning” Crackdown...Is It Here Now?

    That’s not how fuel works. All the octane rating does it tell you how resistant the fuel is to early ignition. It does not make an engine perform any better than a lower grade unless the engine is tuned for a specific ignition timing like a high performance sports car. If you run premium...

    EPA Diesel Engine “Delete Tuning” Crackdown...Is It Here Now?

    Sure there will. But only as battery technology improves for EVs. Batteries are the current limiting factor right now, well cell phone networking too if you consider self driving as hand in hand with EVs, and if you think diesel is bad you should look up what a lithium mine does to the...

    EPA Diesel Engine “Delete Tuning” Crackdown...Is It Here Now?

    I think we all agree that rolling coal is lame. But back to the EPA and cracking down, personally I think it’s another government over reach. But like others have said, until the laws change or people in office change we will not have better options than grin and bearing. At least until the...

    Wind noise and the daily driver

    I’ve seen a few people use ladders for Ursa minors because they were in the same boat for interior space. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Wind noise and the daily driver

    Jeeps are pretty loud to begin with unless you’ve added material inside to help mitigate this. The iKamper would cover the whole roof like any other hard shell unless you got one of the newer 2 person versions which is significantly shorter packed up. Wind noise is a function of...

    Georgia just recently impounded several dozens of vehicles that were dodging tax in the state through that loophole. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    EPA Diesel Engine “Delete Tuning” Crackdown...Is It Here Now?

    Oh no! Seriously though, the warranty support from GM and Chrysler are jokes. Besides, in 35k miles the warranty is gone anyway. I’d rather increase the durability and practical operation of the truck than have to deal with super costly maintenance and replacement issues. There are so many...

    EPA Diesel Engine “Delete Tuning” Crackdown...Is It Here Now?

    I’m pro delete. Specifically EGR. But I’m okay with DPF and SCR deletes as well. Now I’m not a big power tune guy. I think a stock tune is fine with a delete. The economy, efficiency, and durability gains off a delete, in my opinion make up for the increase in emissions. Personally if I...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Yea it’s very expensive. According to goose gear they are working on keyless integration now, and will soon have a headboard and folding side option. The PCOR is more refined, but I don’t like the ¾ canopy option and still having to use a RTT. Now if they offered an integrated tent with the...
