Just to clarify, that is opposite... More than double is common for 5 series pickups. I don't think switching to super singles would dictate equal loading. The front tires would simply be way below their capacity. Using LT tires on the front seems like a sensible way to go, but don't recall...

The main rails on the subframe are C-channel and it will not be very stiff in torsion. How will you deal with habitat bounce?

Oh they weren't welcoming to me at all when going north! My beat up rig and long hair and beard must have gotten me profiled. Me and my GF sat for hours while they picked over it with a fine tooth comb. Seriously... they were doing detailed inspections of the dirt in the carpet. I started get...

I built a camper in Canada many years ago, and they wanted to know all about it when I crossed into the US. No tariffs then, though. They surely have photos and videos of when you went north, so it would be simple to check. I don't see how it would be any different than loading up all sorts of...

They'd have to get rid of windows... which I'd favor anyway. I don't understand the obsession with so much window area in campers. I can see why it would make it easier to sell; makes it feel roomy and you can look at the view! But if I want a good view, I'll go outside. If I'm in the...

Which alloy?

^Yes, but lots of overland equipment is marketed to people who are not very price sensitive. I guess the comments indicate that some are failing to see any point in paying more at all, which is fair.

The people who suffer from easy access to low wage workers, are US craftsmen and by extension the infrastructure, education, and experience that used to make us self sufficient and efficient. Individual businesses need to optimize their bottom line for the environment they find themselves in, as...

Form should follow function, and for a camper a box shape is simple and gives you the maximum space. Large radius edges added to a plain box will also give low aero resistance. That would be superior to a 45 deg angle on top of the sleeping berth. The ST HT doesn't have radiuses, but at least...

Terrible MPG though. Look at the Cooper Stronghold AT, similar tread pattern but less gnarly, better MPG. Not cheap. https://www.coopertire.com/en_US/tires/discoverer-stronghold-at/24982.html

But I bet you'd rather pay $400k base than $500k base for your Earth Cruiser. Exploitation is a silly word to use. Those workers aren't going to be worse off with this business vs without it, that's for sure.

I never heard of TC using XPS. They used PU in the beginning, pretty certain. At any rate, properties of these structural plastic foams isn't very different for the same densities, and R value is between 4-6/inch. The light ones are typically 4-5 lb/cu ft density, compared to common XPS foams...

Oh trust me... buying the shell instead of making it from scratch avoided a whole lot of ass pain.... (y) :p

I remain skeptical regarding the weight and price, which are not mentioned. The All-New Ram 1500 Ramcharger delivers innovative performance with a liquid-cooled 92-kilowatt-hour battery pack paired with a 130-kilowatt generator. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine generates mechanical power, which is...

I did swirls on my aluminum... with 60 grit in an angle grinder.

What was the setup and use, and what did you not like?

No, I did drive GM and Ford 3/4s before I bought the Tundra, but so little can be gleaned from that. We'd really need to optimize both for a particular load, price point, and performance, and do side by side comparisons on road and off. I'm quite happy with my truck's performance, but I think...

If by "a ton" you mean $2,000 for shocks and rear leafs, that's probably a fair estimate. But that will perform better than a stock 3/4 ton too. And I don't know why you think an upgraded suspension on a 3/4 ton would make it "significantly more comfortable and capable" than a 1/2 ton that has...

If you need to haul around "all the comforts of home", then it's going to be heavy. Website says starting at $43.5k...

Your answer is right above my reply. Anyone can read it. Your conclusion was wrong, because your assumptions were wrong. The change in psi is not trivial, it's in fact the main reason why heavier vehicles take longer to stop. I had no intent to mislead anyone. Gearing down works very well on a...
