I don't know the skiing side of things, but for all your other needs, you should check out the HPG Umlindi. It might push your budget, but it will last you forever.

May come back to the tough track, but I'm going to give that Mob Armor a shot. Like being able to easily transfer to my wife's car. May go with a single mount to use my current RAM X grip set up and the tablet. Thanks to all for the feedback.
2013 Silverado 2500HD. Looked at this base, and it appears to really be a cellphone only solution.

I came across the Proclip stuff. Intrigued, but wasn't sure how it would hold up in the bumpy stuff, and the investment is higher with no help for my tablet involved. Have they been pretty solid for you?
Trying to find a sturdy mount for my cell phone and came across this RAM tough track stuff. RAM bills it as suitable for pretty much any vehicle. It appears the extruded aluminum version gets a lot of play in the marine market. While I'm loathe to drill into my dashboard, it does look like a...
I have owned several Wiggy's. On the positive side, they are durable and U.S. made. However they are VERY heavy for the warmth provided and I would take the temperature ratings with several grains of salt. Not a fan at the price they ask, especially if lightweight or compact factor into your...
Forest Service roads, which tend to, but don't always, support full size vehicles. There are lots of rough tracks on the Uncompaghre and Grand Mesa that are passable by full size vehicles -- pin striping sometimes unavoidable. Many of what were Jeep trails in those areas are becoming more UTV...
Keep in mind that lifting IFS trucks properly is not an inexpensive venture. Factor that into your budget. Also consider the axle ratio in your initial purchase if you plan to put larger tires on at some point -- generally associated with a lift. Many of the half tons come built for maximum...
Had some lifestyle changes due to back surgery and very reluctantly traded my JKU for a 3/4 ton truck. It will see rough use on Colorado FS trails, but won't be rock crawling. It also fit in with some of my wife's plans, and we have a 2012 Northstar 850SC that will ride in it from spring through...
Looks great. I really like how clean the Bundutecs are.
I don't care for microwaves in RVs. They add a lot of weight while detracting from storage space. For something only used rarely (almost never) with full hook ups, I find them to be a negative.
Jeep JKU Stealth Mount for 48" Hi-Lift Jack. This includes the optional Quick Fist spreader bars to hold a shovel and another tool as well. Works great and keeps your jack clean. Tools are almost invisible from outside, and do not obstruct your vision. No more Jeep, so I don't need it anymore...
On the wood construction, opinions definitely seem to vary. The "how" seems to be more vital than the "what."
As to us, we ended up with a used 2012 Northstar 850SC. It had two crucial criteria: it was local and we were able to buy it with the cash we had in hand from selling our trailer. The...
This is all good to hear. Jenn has been great to work with. She makes you really want to buy from them, and not in a salesy way, just by being super helpful and nice. Need to get our camper sold and see what we can pull off.
Very reluctantly I just traded in my JKU on a truck. Went through multiple back surgeries and just driving it around town was too rough. A 3/4 ton IFS Chevy is just enough smoother for me, and is going to be dramatically more comfortable on the washboard FS roads in the area that I frequent...
Bumping this up to see if you've been able to try yours out and what you think of it. I haven't priced all the other options out there, but considering the included roof rack this does seem like a bargain.
