Let me introduce you to the concept of CamelCase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case This practice stems from coding, but it is a habit that is generally helpful to aid both humans and e-readers scan text where spaces are not included. (URLs, hashtags, etc.) I bring this up because...

Not sure I agree with some of the assumptions built in here - both to the survey and your stated question. For example, there's almost no way I can respond to your survey that's accurate. Which combination of boxes should I select to indicate lift, A/T tires and factory AWD? In my case I've...

Zip - you responded to a new question on a two-year-old For Sale thread. Someone else commented on the price and construction of the vehicle listed in the original post - listed for sale at $74,500 and sporting a front winch made by Badlands which is a Harbor Freight house brand.

This is the problem with people digging up 2-year old FS posts. Half the respondents don't see the date and start addressing the original topic and context gets lost.

Nice truck. I wish more people had ordered them optioned thusly. If I were going with the truck/camper route right now, this would be a great option. GLWS!

I'm coming to this late, but generally you want to use the lift pucks in combination with the original body mount. Here's a shot of my 2" puck on my Astro body lift:

Looks like the lifting boards need some work, but the AWD Astro/Safaris are super easy to convert to true 4WD which is a nice bonus. This would be great for a couple or solo traveler...

Give that article a browse too. I figure seven years on the road makes them authorities! :D

For international travel in a gasoline vehicle, I would only choose a coleman stove (pick your needed # of burners), and just use vehicle fuel. A cleaning kit for the generator tube and perhaps the proactive use of fuel injector cleaner would also be advisable. If I had a diesel vehicle, then...

Perfectly valid travel advice, but I would say that choosing a route like that would make Propane an even worse choice.

This is nearly an understatement. Every account I've seen or read about trying to run Propane as a fuel on the PanAm indicates that basically every country (or even region) has its own standard for fittings. You either end up carrying 50 lbs of adapters to get their hose to mate to your...

I've used a number of things. The Drip Irrigation stakes are definitely the cheapest and easiest since they're pre-formed. The only bummer is that they're slightly undersized for the holes in most coroplast, so if you have items wedged tightly into the spaces (as I do in a camera case I did...

I bought a pair locally to use as fronts in my van. Haven't fitted them yet as the spacing of the mounting footprint is wider than accommodated by my current mount system (so I will need to build a new pedestal, etc.). I like the double armrests vs. singles like the Astro van has stock. The...

There's a subforum here explicitly for eBay listings. The mods can move it. Let's all keep it friendly.

Chuck, you can bang on about cognitive dissonance all you want, but that doesn't make your argument stronger, nor does it make trying to practice a LNT approach void. There's no dissonance in having the goal of minimizing one's impact in all aspects of backcountry travel. Maybe you aren't...

Yeah, I think this is a risky plan until you have an understanding of how much things are going to articulate.

Yeah, but then you're back to rinsing. I'm against leaving grounds behind in the campsite, and I won't want to rinse water into my trash bag. Paper filters work great.

Does your kiddo sleep in the upper bunk w/ y'all, or is there enough room on that lower bench for a sleeper?

Agreed that easy cleanup is a key feature here. We dry-camp w/o a grey water system, so any coffee system that requires rinsing grounds is a bummer for us. While camping I'll reuse a filter once or twice in the same morning, but yes, I'm not going to take the time to dry it and reuse it the...
