    New Bronco

    It all depends on the numbers and final package and line item add ons they allow in the end I guess. If the difference between the base and what I want is 10+ grand I am quite sure the aftermarket can provide gears, lockers, and a swaybar disconnect for less than 10 grand. But upgrading the...

    Parking heaters at altitude

    Some wiz with an arduino needs to make an open loop map with a fuel injector and user inputted altitude for one of these or a closed loop with an O2 sensor or MAP sensor. With how finicky these things are and the price for the original non-Chinese knockoff versions I am surprised they don't come...

    New Bronco

    Two things I wonder if anything has heard about? 1. Manual and Sasquatch package? First they were not then they hinted they were but nothing shows up in the configurator online. I really just want a base manual with 4.7 gears and lockers and the uprated front diff without a whole giant package...

    Camp shower advice needed

    I do the same with dual fuel stoves and an essentially unlimited gasoline supply. Nice to not have to worry about the fuel supply EVER. In the winter I use a small wood stove. Just use pots I already have. If I have a camp setup I will put the collapsible bucket in the sun to help it heat up...

    Maximum Lift on IFS Vehicle?

    You got tons of great info. I would add to also remember nothing is guaranteed. I was shooting for 2.5-2.75 inches of lift on my truck. Spring A was supposed to do that for how my truck was equipped. It didn't. After sagging I only got about 3/4 inch of lift. So I upgraded to spring B and...

    "Solar Generator"

    The capacity is nice. But the charging input seems severely limited. I don't really understand why someone cant come up with one of these that will allow decent amperage for DC charging. The real killer is even the solar charging needs at least 26V so you can't even charge this from one 18V...

    "Solar Generator"

    Says the guy that posts scintillating on topic stuff like the above lol. You are just as bad as anyone else is. Consider getting over yourself. Worry not about further interaction as It's clear you belong on my block list.

    Can the iPad really be used as an out-of-signal range, off-road GPS device?

    For me its total no brainer as signal is not an issue at all these days. Go take your phone into the basement and see how good the GPS signal still is. The fact you can stick a SIM in the tablet and use it as a backup phone also trumps the GPS receiver.

    Parasitic drain?- In need of some guidance/help

    Does it have a key fob? I have had two different vehicles that if I locked it with a fob the factory alarm or some other module would stay awake but if I locked it by the door lock it would not kill the battery and sit for 6 months fine with no battery drain. Otherwise it would only last 2-3 weeks.

    Gaia...Got To Be Kidding Me!

    I would be fine with that. I think they are prioritizing the route but since the route fills itself in as you go it probably isn't needed. I am all for changing it/getting rid of it. But they are not invisible, not even close, and it doesn't stop me from doing anything. It literally added zero...

    Ratcheted Tire in Stock Spare location.. Yes/No?

    I love how no one these days actually considers actually running the max size tire that fits in the stock spare location. The extra 1/2 inch of clearance usually doesn't make or break the vehicle. My absolute favorite is buying a swing out tire carrier then trying to store water or fuel where...

    Gaia...Got To Be Kidding Me!

    I test made a route with 10 different layers and I don't get what is stopping you. You can definitely argue that it is making it more transparent than it should, or the user should be able to configure it but the waypoints are still visible and if you turn on the labels even more so.

    Need help picking a new truck!

    I like Tundras and sure they are pretty reliable... But paying premium money for anything with over 200K on it is mental.

    Tent with Stove Jack AND floor

    I have a stove jack and a floor in my RTT annex. Over the years I have decided the floor is utterly pointless. In winter the snow and ice melts making the floor slide around and potentially pull the stove over as you try to walk around. Without the floor the ground will eventually dry out and be...

    Scepter MFC vs Wavian NATO fuel can

    I don't get why people mess with spouts for either brand. It's way easier to siphon or use one of those dirt cheap battery pump things. I see dudes bear hugging their heavy filthy Jerry's and leaning up against their dirt encrusted rigs with everything instantly sticking to their sweaty skin and...

    Goodyear Aquires Cooper Tires

    Goodyear should throw away every off road tire they make and keep the Cooper line up, but they probably won't.

    Goodyear Aquires Cooper Tires

    NooooOOOOoOO. Makes me want to order a set of ST MAXX and store them in case they screw them up going forward.
