    OzTent Owners, Carry Bag Question

    My bag happens to be empty because my tent is setup in my garage. 78" long (to the seams for the end panels) 20" high 12" wide at end panels (looks like a circle when viewed from the end- with tent in bag it looks more like an oval). Hope this helps. I probably won't put it back in the bag...

    Rainy night in an Oztent

    I recently spent a very rainy night in my Oztent RV-5. It rained almost constantly through the night- heavy at times. I didn't have too many leaks, but I did have a couple. One leak was from the door zippers. I did not put out the awning and I think if I did, I don't think it would have...

    OzTent Owners, Carry Bag Question

    Everytime I put my RV-5 back in the bag I cuss about how if the bag were just a little bigger it would be so much nicer. Instead I'm wrestling it back in the bag, squeezing it together so I can drag the zipper 4 inches, squeeze a little more and drag the zipper...... Having 2 people helps, but...

    2013 Expedition

    I don't know much about 2013s, but my 2000 has a throttle cable, and the cable can stretch and not open the throttle plate all the way. Once I took up the slack, it felt like a brand new truck. The Triton motor isn't a huge powerhouse. Nobody is swapping Tritons into various projects like the...

    Upgrading to clutch fan, brand recommendations?

    Which all sounds well and good until you realize that cars, trucks and vans have had electric cooling fans for decades. They seem to run just fine on them. Brand new F-150s, from the factory, come equipped with with electric fans- not fans hanging off the water pump.

    Upgrading to clutch fan, brand recommendations?

    My experience: I recently replaced what I can only imagine was the factory fan clutch in my 2000 Expedition. It probably had around 200k miles on it. I replaced it with a Hayden. It seemed to be engaged more when cold than the factory clutch. But it worked. Drove around for like 30k miles with...

    2002 Sequoia Limited 4WD

    That looks like a great tool roll. I have this one in my Explorer: https://adventuretoolcompany.com/product/shoproll-tool-roll It's nice, but I think I like the Bucketboss where it has more zipper pouches- the ATC roll only has one. I need to replace the plastic box that the tools came in that...

    Colorado ZR2 Airbags

    So you get personally offended at someone mocking an inanimate object like a car brand? Sounds like a reasonable response........

    That initial quality only applies initially. Drive it off the lot and you roll the dice.

    GMT800 Suburban Towing issues: Gearing or power?

    Octane requirements also decrease with increasing altitude. Ever wonder why the gas pumps at sea level have 87 as the minimum octane yet in Denver and above the lowest is 85? And likewise at sea level the highest octane is 92 or 93 yet in Denver it's 91? It's not a conspiracy against those...

    GMT800 Suburban Towing issues: Gearing or power?

    You’re assuming he pays retail. I don’t know what he’s clearing, but he seems to be doing just fine. Business is steady for him and really picks up in the spring when people get their taxes back.

    GMT800 Suburban Towing issues: Gearing or power?

    You mean similar to the IFS that my Explorer had (when it was stock) that he regeared? Or the 10th gen and up F-150s that he's also regeared? You just need to pull the front axles out, disconnect the driveshaft, unbolt the front axle center section and carry that over to the bench. Watched him...

    GMT800 Suburban Towing issues: Gearing or power?

    He does have acreage. About 5. What's the catch? He doesn't have the overhead that a shop does. It's just him. https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/07-17-jeep-wrangler-jkre-gears/6669647048.html I can't find his same listing for F-150/F-250/F-350/Excursion and other full size vehicles, so his...

    GMT800 Suburban Towing issues: Gearing or power?

    You can tell who reads everyone else's response first before replying, and who does not. Like I said, I know a guy who makes his living regearing Jeeps and trucks out of his house. Local to Martin and I. $850 installed. Front and rear. He did my Explorer.

    GMT800 Suburban Towing issues: Gearing or power?

    Gears. I know a guy that will do them for $850. Front and rear. Installed. You may want to budget for new bearings (probably an additional $150 for each axle). I've been thinking about 4.10 gears for my Expedition. And I don't tow. I can't comment on whether or not you can keep your G80 or...

    Unfortunately the trail to the Alpine Tunnel was closed due to a rock slide. And yes, the aspens are just starting to turn up there.
