    Two for one accident...

    Short of a serious injury, that kind of wreck is a nightmare. These rigs are worth alot more to us than the insurance guy thinks. Only thing worse would be if it were stolen and having to accept "book" value.

    Awning Recommendations

    I have an 80. I like that Foxwing, but it wont work for my needs. I am often towing a trailer with bikes, and the awn would deploy in the hitch area. I need one on the side. The CVT one looks very interesting too. Close to $400 to my door makes me want to carefully look at other options...

    Awning Recommendations

    I'm in the market for an awning ... I think. First, our intended uses: 1. We dirt bike ride as a family in the desert, a fair amount. These are often long day trips, not overnighters. Which means while resting/ eating, we either sit in the sun or I lug an easy awn or something else with us...

    Rooftop Tent Alternative

    The 2 main reasons that i have never pursued a RTT: 1. Cost. I just cannot cost justify a 1k++ investment on it. 2. Wind. Much of our camping is in windy desert conditions, where I am using my rig/ coolers/ tubs/ whatever as wind breaks. I cant imagine forgoing all that to assume a higher...

    Any Ex-Jeep Guys Miss Their Jeep?

    On a really nice, not too hot, not too cold day, cruising around town kinda deal, yes I miss it occasionally. We typically run long haul trips so getting to and from the trail, as well as on the trail, no I dont miss it so much. I can also take my WHOLE family with me in the 80, which is what...

    That's the head scratcher about the Oz market. 18m people down there and they dont ALL offroad ... do they? Thats not a very big market really but all the good stuff ends up there.

    Best current option for LC80 integrated rear aux. fuel tank?

    I was out at MAF a few months ago and mentioned that the idea of a bigger tank interested me but the hangdown issue and the price were the big turnoffs. The sales guys then tells me that they have some used ones in the rafters, which were factory options in Oz. MAF had them sitting in the...

    Pintle vs Lock&Roll vs Max Coupler

    Good info, thanks guys. I don't find the pintle to be all that noisy, at least when loaded. It doesn't sound like for my uses that the maxcoupler would be that big of an improvement. I guess I'll have to just practice backing up more.

    Pintle vs Lock&Roll vs Max Coupler

    I have a M416 trailer with a pintle system. I have been reasonably happy with the pintle. I don't take my trailer on really extreme stuff, but it has been in many tight places, off camber trails, and over its share of large rocks. Overall, it performs really well. I love the security of the...

    LOCK N ROLL Hitch

    Dave, I am not ll that familiar with that system. How does it compare to the basic military pintle? Is it more flexible but more vulnerable as well? I have a M416 with pintle that I take everywhere with no issues like this. I am familiar with the trail to DollHouse, nothing all that extreme...
