    I probably missed it in your description, but where is the tent located? Thanks, Howard

    You might try these guys. I think they work with a crew in Europe. You don’t have to send your ECU anywhere as they work with your files after download. Howard Snell

    Isuzu npr 4wd

    Hello Gator70: Are you planning to fill two 37" tires off of compressed air stored in the two reservoir tanks without a compressor? I might have misunderstood your post asking if a three liter tank and 150 psi would fill two tires. I assumed you were looking at a small compressor with a 3...

    Isuzu npr 4wd

    Short answer is yes, but how long will it take? Missing information is output in cfm (cubic feet per minute). With a tiny tank of 3L the maximum pressure really isn't significant as the volume of a 37" tire is many times greater so you'll be filling tires directly from the compressor's output...

    Which synthetic winch line for a large vehicle?

    I've had three Warn 16.5Ti winches. I've used three synthetic lines on them - Warn's Spydura Pro 3/8", Samson Amsteel Blue 1/2" and Cortland Plasma 1/2". Of the three my least favorite is the 3/8 Warn Spydura. It smears on fairleads & rings leaving a deposit that is hard to remove. Being...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Great to hear from you Lance. I'm glad to see there is a path forward for you and Michelle. The trucks you designed and built which Heidi and I purchased brought our wanderlust to a new level. We're looking forward to seeing you guys. Howard

    GAIA issue - using up all my phone's storage

    I don't have a solution for you. I ran into a similar issue back in January when I decided to clean up all of my maps (iPhone & iPad) to maker GAIA more agile. Basically "archived" maps on my GAIA web account, then uninstalled GAIA apps on phone & iPad to clear everything out. Shut down both...

    Need ideas to carry motorcycle and bikes at speed. Off-road capable.

    I’ve owned several Aluma trailers which I like for their light weight and corrosion resistance. I’ve bought all of them new, and found the company (via a good distributor) very helpful in moderate customization (larger wheels/tires, different axles, etc.). They have a number of “off the shelf”...

    Synthetic Winch Rope - 2K Winch

    When you spool line onto the drum you might consider filling it to where the spooled line just clears those spacer bars running across the top of the drum, then remove two layers of line and call that a “full” drum. This leaves space for line to pile up on one side of the drum when a pull is...

    Synthetic Winch Rope - 2K Winch

    A roller fairlead can work fine with synthetic winch line, as long as the rollers haven’t been scarred by wire rope. Here’s a good video by Robert Pepper explaining how he preps a roller fairlead for working with synthetic line and why he prefers roller fairleads. If your rollers have ever...

    Any Tips, Tricks or Cautions for Vertically Mounting ROAM/Pelican/etc. Cases?

    I've not done what you suggest, but I have run a Pelican case mounted flat on a rack behind the seat of a Yamaha TW200. If I was looking to mount one vertically without support at the bottom (as mentioned by @jeffgsd) I would cut a piece of 6061 aluminum plate (1/8" minimum or maybe 3/16") to...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Early on I recall that the tents came from Australia, but I don’t know if they switched to a USA based provider. At the moment a friend who owns an earlier EarthCruiser EXP and is staying at our place says he has had repair work on his clear vinyl windows done by a shop in Albuquerque. He was...

    Users of Gaia on iOS phones: Old phone or bad Gaia?

    I recently had a long email exchange with GAIA technical support about a failure in syncing the data and downloaded maps onto my iPhone 11 Pro (512 mb) after reinstalling the app in an attempt to regain the level of performance enjoyed previously. After more than a week of trying all the...

    Better jack for a long travel suspension an Overlanding vehicle?

    Not sure it’s relevant, but I just drive my flat tire up on two of the 2x12” boards I carry for leveling our truck at camp. The extra 3” provided allows me to slide my bottle jack under the axle. If I need more clearance I just add one or two more boards. The extra 2’ of “driving on a flat...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    I'll agree that there's a point being missed. I'll disagree about who's missing it. But, that's OK as we're all different folks with various expectations, etc. One good thing is we all share a common Interest in getting out and about in the backcountry. I'm happy to attempt answering...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Waveslider: ECOG is completely independent of both EarthCruiser Australia and EarthCruiser USA. The group was started by an Australian before EarthCruisers were produced in the USA and is currently adminstered by that bloke and two Yanks. EarthCruiser USA has a proprietary web portal and...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    It's called the "EarthCruiser Owners Group" (ECOG) for a reason. You could easily start a "Potential EarthCruiser Owners Group" (PECOG) if you wish. Once done an announcement could be posted on ECOG informing members that they're invited to join PECOG and those that are interested would do so...

    What online tools do you use for long (road) trip planning?
