    After 8 years in a full size, moving back to a mid-size - Recommendations?

    Congrats on the Frontier! I got the same thing 15 years ago- Leer makes good caps for them. These things do great off-road, the slightly longer wheelbase actually seems like a plus in more situations than not-- There is an aftermarket, and because so many elements are the same as the D40...

    Does HP trump range on a loaded EV Pickup?

    As someone who hauls crap around everyday for work, neither matter--price does. I need to get on the freeway at the speed of traffic. If I drive more than 50 miles in a workday, I'm doing someone a favor, because that isn't usual. If I'd have to add another 10-20 hours of work to my week to...

    Looking for the most efficient solar panel

    Solar Blanket; mythical efficiency, zero warrantee, $8+/watt and brought to you by a company selling $70 patch cables... I would pass.

    Frustrated Dealers May Succeed in Getting Corp to Reduce Ram Truck and Jeep Prices

    It's probably worth mentioning that the "freedom" to borrow insane amounts of money for years of indentured servitude has contributed to the stratospheric prices of vehicles and houses--valuations beyond their value. Without this "assistance" most of the country couldn't by a vehicle that...

    1999 Land Rover Discovery - Project Disco (re)Deux

    It can be a toss-up, some folks with money take care of their stuff, others can't be bothered to do basic things because the vehicle is disposable...

    1999 Land Rover Discovery - Project Disco (re)Deux

    Oily Dumpling? Blacksail? (It's a special kind of British mud) Part/Whole? Hard to say, we've hardly met- Looks like a great rig though, lucky to be in the hands of someone who will use it.

    (*Price Drop* $90k) 2018 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 144 4x4 Sportsmobile Portland OR

    All those pictures mashed together don't give a very idea of what's inside your camper. I know there's a size limit, but there isn't a post limit, maybe add a few whole pictures of the layout from a few more feet back?

    5th Gen Power Wagon - light bar with front camera?

    Moving &/or replacing the camera isn't an option? The best are 10% of the cost of a Baja Designs light...

    Engine-heated (Hydronic) hot water?

    Thanks for the build details, very helpful, especially with all the labels! I bench-tested my Hicalory Webasto knockoff today and had to spend a lot of time getting air out of the system, but once I did, it worked well, so I'm willing to find a place under the bed for it. I think I'll keep the...

    Engine-heated (Hydronic) hot water?

    Hadn't seen these before, is there a particular recommendation? I see 2 different 12v. versions, one discontinued and the other with a bunch of communication and wiring protocols I've never heard of. I think air & water temp, manual on/off, a temperature hold &/or a timer would be useful...

    Engine-heated (Hydronic) hot water?

    Brilliant! I'm really glad to hear the details of your system and the upgrades, I feel like I'm on the right track. I know adding valving adds weight and cost (so many fittings!), but the ability to choose heat sources and zones is really appealing, even if I ultimately settle on just a few...

    Overland Medicine

    Water purification, rehydration salts and blister care go most places with me. Benadryl, cortisone cream, good tweezers, emergency blanket and quick-clot and lots of gauze. Gloves, a few different tapes, eye drops, eyebuprofin, a knife and a lighter along with assorted band-aids & prep-pads all...

    Engine-heated (Hydronic) hot water?

    Hi, planning to build my pop-up with a small, insulated hot water tank for cleaning and bathing, principally heated with the engine coolant or a diesel engine pre-heater, & possibly 110v &/or 12v from my solar. Before I start I want to make a long-winded post to try and keep warm. I'm gathering...

    CombiBoil water heater from Autoterm/Tigerexped

    So it looks like nobody has made a small (<6 gallon) heater primarily run off engine coolant but also available with a 12v. element. It would be nice if there was a thermostat with a signal to shut off the element or actuate a bypass valve/ pump shutoff for hot coolant once the tank is at temp...

    ARB Zero gets too cold

    I had to replace the control board of my Snomaster a few years back because of erratic temps--I got sent a new one for free because that's not how they are supposed to work. See if ARB will warranty it (sometimes it's easy, sometimes they are crap... ARB that is), that display is probably not...

    2000 Frontier (Supercharged) Build and Adventures - Babe the Blue Ox

    I was happy to discover the D40 had the same cargo capacity in Oz as it does in America... except there they use Kg!... I don't always drive overloaded, but when I do, I drive a Nissan:cool: I like hearing about the brakes though, how small a wheel can 300zx brakes fit under? A 16"?

    Better vehicle external cameras? What is good these days in the aftermarket?

    Cameras front and back are great, and many head-units support an AUX in for the front, even if they don't call it that. To access it while driving, you often need to rewire the parking-brake signal-wire. I think the higher up you can mount the camera, the better view it provides--sticking a...
