    Impact of Congress voting to sell Federal lands?

    IIRC, there have been other threads about this recently with some facts presented. Short version is that the Feds do a better job managing our public land than states. Poster child is Utah, where they have sold or given away virtually all of the public land they were given at statehood. People...

    6th Gen vs 5th Gen 4Runner: My Perspective: 10,000 Mile Update

    Switching my RVs house battery to a LifePO4

    "Many"? AFAIK no RV converter/charger sold in USA will damage a Li battery. If you have seen actual reports to the contrary I'm happy to learn of them.

    Switching my RVs house battery to a LifePO4

    Even if your converter does not have an Li setting, you can still charge to 90+% w/o hurting anything. You can buy an inexpensive stand alone Li charger to use at home before a trip if you want to squeeze in that last bit of charge. In other words, the conversion could be as simple as swapping...

    Sold: Radica Moonlander - 1st Gen Toyota Tundra or T100

    What does "reserved" in "reserved for sale" mean? :unsure:

    Maybe they should think about exercising some restraint if they can't afford the toy? It's not the same as financing a house when you need a place to live.

    Hopefully people aren't financing these toys so interest rates might not be much of a concern to the RV buyer.

    As usual, if something doesn't sell it's priced too high. ;) Seriously, a small tent on wheels for the price of a full featured camper will have a limited market.

    Set Me Straight

    The molded fiberglass/egg trailers like Scamp, Casita, Escape, Oliver and Bigfoot have very good quality construction but share the same marginal appliances as the stick and tin brands. The shells seem to last forever. Stock, they are fine for most Forest Service maintained roads but people have...

    Margaret Holmes & Glory canned veggies & stuff

    The Glory "Seasoned Southern Style Blackeye Peas" are about as good as it gets for canned food, IMO.

    A little guidance please

    I think a gravel bike with 38mm or wider tires and no suspension would suit. You get easier gearing than a true road bike and usually a more relaxed fit. I have a Cannondale Topstone I like. The Giant Revolt is another good choice. I like Panaracer Gravel King slicks but there are lots of...

    A.R.E. DCU Unit - Build Quality

    Thanks for posting, cautionary for sure. I'd never thought about how many things could go wrong with metal vs molded fiberglass.

    parked campers homeless takeover

    There is a thread going in Expedition Vehicles: Other. Yep, just as random and inexplicable selection of sub-forum as this.;)

    Lux campers taken over by homeless

    As usual, probably more to the story than the headlines. Nevertheless, letting crazy people roam around unsupervised wasn't a good idea in the 1980s and doesn't make any more sense nearly a half century later.

    Maverick or Ridgeline? 🤔 I’m stuck…

    Ridgeline IMO. Isn't it a step above the Maverick in capability, more comparable to the Ranger? I don't know if there is a difference in long term reliability (if that matters) but the fit and finish on Hondas is something you'll appreciate every day.

    "Cowboy" canvas bed roll? Good, better, best?

    Been close to a year to ponder. Which did OP choose?
