I'm done looking. The price for me is just too hard to swallow. Current fair market value and what I am willing to pay is too far off. 5 years ago yes. Not now. I built mine for a few pennies on the dollar compared to a used 4WC and am blown away at how capable and comfortable my rig is...

That is a very puzzling statement. Manufacturers have to care what the end user wants. If they don't then vehicles don't sell. The hot selling models move quick. No one ever has to "settle" for a new vehicle. There are so many choices it's mind boggling.

I went in another direction than most and did a simple build that is super duper cheap. I already had the truck. All in for overloading build including dual battery setup with 250 amp alternator, 300 watt solar generator, 100 watt folding panel, solar charge controller, 12/120 volt 30 quart...

That is a very nice rig Kenny!! There is just no way you are going to get that quality from a production RV. OTOH the 4WC campers are pretty darn well built serve many people looking for a light and compact turn key solution. I was looking for a used one a few years before all this COVID crud...

The problem with any "fanless" devices is the inability to efficiently dissipate heat. With inverters it's the drop in available watts as the ambient temperature rises. The temperature derating of these inverters can be drastic to the point of inability to sustain your required watts. A...

It will help to know what year and model is your truck and what winch you plan on getting ? I can tell you that a 95 amp alternator is not going to put out enough amps for heavy winching. Here is what I did to my 2005 GMC Sierra...

You are describing exactly what I am doing with my truck. For a little test run you might want to go up Maple Springs and try out all those roads going up to the peak, down to the cabins and into Corona. I also went up the backside of Big Bear up Coxey road no issue. Where it got shaky but still...

If your rig is a daily driver then TruTrac all the way. Selectable lockers are and not as reliable or seamless. Trutrac can work like a selectable with a little dancing on the brake or using the E-brake. Now if you plan on frequent rock crawling and getting a wheel chest high in the air then the...

You won't be sorry with your locker!! In fact that is exactly what I have done to me 05 GMC Sierra. I installed 3:73 gears and a TruTrac. I am running 265/75 x 17 tires and could not be happier. I have had a few sketchy encounters but overall my rig will go in most places a 4wd can go and in...

I have the lightweight X-Bulls from Amazon mounted on my bed extender. My rig is 2wd and pretty light compared to other full size trucks. I don't see a situation where the expensive ones are going to be any better for my application. I have managed to get my truck into most places a 4wd can go...

And while It's more driver than vehicle the, brand and style are very personalized. I don't understand how someone can hate a vehicle without ever experiencing it? You are going to be hard pressed to find any vehicle manufactured today that has those features regardless of cost. The OP is very...

I cannot imagine it not being sold after more than a few days of posting. The 44E bare bones standard model goes for just shy of 200,000.00 plus tax. With all the high end modifications and service that's been done it's a steal at that price.

I will tell you a cannot stand shopping at places like Cosco and Walmart. But man those prices and warranty are worth sifting through the crowds. I had no idea those Dodge trucks had such huge batteries.

UHAULER, There is also a possibility he will get what he is asking for it. Right now overland vehicles are a hot commodity new and used. With the wood, steel, and chip shortages and prices spiking, prices are through the roof. I have been following the motor vehicle market for years. This year...

Join date has nothing to do with how long I have tuned into Expedition Portal and followed the threads. It's an open and public forum that anyone can tune into regardless of membership status. Trolling me then Ignoring me just shows other members what kind of people post on these threads. I...

That is a hard deal to pass up. Considering Costcos are in darn near every town that's a no brainer.

I highly recommend the Deka 34/78 for your truck. They are made by Penn and are the same ones that Sams club sells under the Duracell name.

If you followed the "For Sale" section here for as many years as I have you would understand where I am coming from. This thread while having some childish and rude replies is a lot more mild than some of the ones posted here over the years on other items up for purchasing. Point I'm making is...

That about sums it up Dave.

Rando I do see what you point of view is. However it takes more math steps to convert a measurement of forced energy into the actual power of electrical current. As far as I know I have never seen a Joule meter being used or sold in commercial or consumer level. And at my level of math education...
