Not to get too far from the XV which does look nifty, but what are the reliability issues with the 2.5s? I'd like to know what to look for as we have a 2006 Outback about to hit 110,000 miles that hasn't had a problem yet. Replaced the timing belt at about 100K per instructions and that has been...

Here's a couple: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/47516-LATEST-PROJECT-Truck-Drawers-Sleeping-Platform http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/69403-Show-off-your-Truck-Shell-Top-Modifications-and-Add-Ons-!#post1010968

I'm in Roxborough (south of Littleton.) It's a shortbed and a 2011. Why they had to change the bed dimensions so older caps won't fit, I have no idea. I need a 2009 and up 1500 or 2010 and up 2500/3500 cap. Merry Christmas!

Caveat: I am not a serious biker, so no help in that regard, but I have major Colorado Trail aspirations. I live down the street from the easternmost trail head and have dreamed of walking out my front door and heading for Durango with my backpack. As a biker, you are going to have to look for...

As it doesn't fit into the family budget nor down the chimney, I really doubt I'm going to get the topper I want for my Dodge 2500. Maybe next year... :)

I've had good luck with RailRiders over the years. Fit varies with the models. I haven't tried them yet, but I have friends who really like the Versa-Tec series which have some well thought out pockets and features. Heck, I wear their Backcountry Khakis every day of the week for teaching, and...

I've owned Snugtop and Leer, both were mid to high end models at the time. I liked the Snugtop but didn't like the glass door on the Leer. It simply wouldn't seal well. Need a new one and am looking at an A.R.E. XV. Their "value" line XV is at about as low a price point as I can find, but the...

Nice shots. Looks like a fun trip. I'm jealous of your mpg. So far I'm running about 12-13 around town. We did 10 from Denver to Grand Junction over the Continental Divide (some long, big pulls) and 11 coming back while towing about 7,000 pounds which actually isn't all that bad. It's the empty...

Glad you fixed yours, but for anyone in the market, I HIGHLY recommend that Weber. Picked mine up for $1 at a garage sale twenty years ago. With a bit of bending of the support legs in a vise and some stainless screws to replace the broken welds on the lid handle, it has survived a roll-over...

I did not vote. Circumstances simply vary WAY too much to make an easy call. I say that having tried pretty much everything but the minivan option. These are just since we had kids and listed in chronological order: FULL SIZE TRUCK 1/2 ton Chevy Extended Cab: Great truck, suicide doors sucked...

in the Denver area for very little money ($275 obo). Took my new Dodge 2500 shortbed over and it was close but no cigar. It came off of an older Dodge but I'm not sure what it was originally made for other than some variant of full-sized short bed. Looked like a heck of topper for the money with...

I'd imagine some mosquito netting and adhesive velcro would do the trick for that. You could use magnets along the bottom to hold it tight to the tailgate and make for easy -- more likely easier -- in and out.

I like the tall and narrow tire on trucks as well and at 12" wide, the Nitto is wider than I'm shooting for. Options just seem very limited but I've just started looking myself so I'm sure there are choices I just haven't found yet. I'm finding mixed reviews on the Duratracs and big trucks. They...

Sapper, awesome rig. Have either of you looked at the Nitto Grapplers? They have a 305/70/17 E rated AT that looks promising. Seems to be a problem finding tires that hold up to heavy duty use (truck/towing weight) and offer good off road traction. I'm giving them some thought. Wish I could...

Hi, I've been a long-time lurker here through a few vehicles but my latest 4x4 is a 2011 Dodge 2500 ST Cummins Crew Cab so I'm keen to see what mods come about for your vehicle. Mine is a daily driver/camper puller/backwoods explorer so I'm real interested to hear about tires that will stand up...
