    Schutt Industries - Xventure Owners

    In essence, the you don't get to use all the water in the tanks, because the pump is on one side. I ran out of water (or perhaps it froze?) at Expo East and I barely used any water, there is no way I went through even 11 gallons not to mention 22, Schutt basically said this was a problem, which...

    Schutt Industries - Xventure Owners

    I picked up an XV-2 2011 Essentials Plus Demo a month or so ago, directly from Schutt. It was ARB's demo, 2 battery system, 22 gal water tank, hot water heater, large tongue box, kitchen with built in stove and sink, and their upgraded wheels. I had them add the struts to the elevated 80/20...

    Chevrolet offering serious off-road performance parts for the ZR2 in 2019, never seen this kind of OEM support

    GM did announce a fix/re-calibration for the sensors for the side airbag deployments and are paying back folks that had their's blown. My truck is going in tomorrow to get the fix.

    Chevrolet offering serious off-road performance parts for the ZR2 in 2019, never seen this kind of OEM support

    Not only is GM giving the ZR2 some love with their partnership with AEV on the ZR2 Bison. The 2019 Accessories Catalog has been posted and there is about 21K worth of performance parts strictly for the ZR2. I'd love to see some other OEMs offering this kind of stuff. Jeep is close...

    Any experience with Warn Zeon series?

    I could be wrong, but my understanding is the Zeon series is waterproof/dust proof for the motor and gears and control box and can worked while being surmised. My guess is since it's a sealed unit, maintenance can't be done easily.

    APRS Dog Collar

    A co-worker of mine developed this: https://laelapsgps.com/ Mind you it's not cheap at $399.00 but take a look at what he's done, it's pretty much what you are going for. Laelaps is powerful yet simple. It transmits your dog’s location to a Long Range Transceiver using a powerful VHF Radio...

    2005 Honda Element Ecamper SOLD

    Very Cool, I have owned 3 Honda Elements very fun to drive with a manual transmission and all-wheel drive. You'd be surprised how well it goes with some good all terrain tires. Just don't expect to go far off trail as it only has 6 inches of ground clearance. A well taken care of Element will...

    Changing hubs on Xventure XV-2, need advice.

    I have purchased, but not picked up yet a 2014 Xventure XV-2 Essentials Plus Demo directly from Schutt Industries. As you can see in the picture the tires are not made for off-road and as this was a demo, I'm sure it probably spent most of it's time on a paved road. From what I can tell, the...

    Onboard Water Tanks, do you drink from them?

    So the MSR and Lifesaver meet the same NSF protocol 231, MSR doesn't mention who did their testing (their own company or an objective third-party), but let's say they are equal. The PUR Hiker, doesn't say it meets any standard and mentions not testing what so ever. The MSR filter is good for a...

    Onboard Water Tanks, do you drink from them?

    I'm picking up an Xventure XV-2 with a 22 gallon water tank, I don't plan to use the water stored in there directly for drinking, but plan on running it through a Lifesaver Systems Lifesaver Jerrycan 10000UF. "A robust and portable water filter capable of filtering 10,000 litres / 2,641 US...

    I have driven a diesel Canyon All-Terrain during a family and friends drive event at work, I work for GM in the Austin IT Innovation center and when I went to Denver to purchase a Diesel ZR2 (dealer was so bad, I ripped up the paperwork and flew back to Austin). The diesel has decent power to...

    It was 106 when I was test fitting everything that day, garage is air conditioned. So just took the tire off the roof when I wanted to leave. Luckily it clears the 7 foot doors with bare roof racks and just the platform. The floor is raised somewhat since there is an uncoupling membrane below...

    I'm averaging 12mpg, that means I would have to carry a lot of extra gas on deep excursions, and the supercharger is way to tempting with gas v6. That makes getting the diesel cheaper.

    Here's my ZR2, but actually trading in Jan for a ZR2 Bison Diesel, I originally wanted the Diesel, but ************ dealership killed that and end up with the gas v6. So the timing is right as everything I've done so far is removable and transferable. Basically it's just an excuse to get the Diesel.
