    I don't worry about pin striping something as ugly as a jeep either.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    I don't get it. Rover already makes yuppie girl SUV's. Why make another one? It's like, as if Dodge wanted to compete with the new Bronco, so they slap a Ramcharger sticker on a Caravan.

    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    You can always use a hitch carrier and then keep your small spare in the stock location. That's what I'd do. Any open rear diff should be able to survive miss matched tires at low speeds for short periods. I'd try to upgrade my OEM spare for a 35 if was running 37's though. At least try...

    Pop-ups with inside showers?

    If you going fullsize, definitely check out the Bundutecs. The short bed camper have the overhang rear, but it's pretty high up. You ain't going to drag it. The long bed versions sit completely inside the bed. And the tray models are built however you want. I'm not sure what the Tremor...

    Lag bolt length for tent stakes

    Overlanders always step on my Ti stakes in sand, knock the rope off, making the buried stake impossible to find in the morning. I use railroad nails: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-3-8-in-x-10-in-Galvanized-Spike-Nails-10HGSPKE/100187580

    Bilstein 5165 vs 7100

    We just used air on race shocks since they got rebuilt so often. I suppose I'd use N on a truck shock expected to last a few years.

    New Lightweight Hardside....

    Waiting for the Kanai version. The Olympic looks great, but I don't want an RTT.

    Fullsize truck? 250+?

    Should you still buy a Fuso in North America?

    If I need a garbage truck, milk truck, or tabloid paper delivery truck for a tight city? Maybe. If I'm going cabover crazy, I'm getting one of these and putting a little TT on it's back:

    Pop-ups with inside showers?

    Bundutec. I have got to have a shower. Half of my campers use is travel, not overlanding. So while a indoor shower isn't needed at the beach, campground, state park, or desert, it's indispensable if I'm parked at a race track or shooting range.

    Nissan throws in the towel, ending US production of NV and NV200

    I want them to go away so I don't get issued one at work. I've had a dozen. Econoline, Express 3500 short and long. Every single one of them was a death trap that screamed ''disposable technician that we don't care about'' when I got to the jobsite. Exhausting to drive compared to my...

    Nissan throws in the towel, ending US production of NV and NV200

    If they offered 4wd on the 3500's I'd let you win. At least until the trans fails, or the van bounces off the road and kills all of us. We have a bunch of the chassis cab vans now. They're pretty scary to drive. No idea why the van bodies can't go on a truck frame? And drive in an...

    Trade F-150 for Tundra - Overland

    And gears. You'll want more than 4.10 with 37" tires. Older PW's had 4.56 which was very nice. Which is why I didn't go that route. I'll add exactly the gears and front locker of my choice, this way.

    Nissan throws in the towel, ending US production of NV and NV200

    Good riddance. Now we need to kill off the gm express vans. Chassis cab truck with a box is soooooooo much better.

    Trade F-150 for Tundra - Overland

    Wish someone would get a Tremor and mod it, so that I won't have to put Raptor running boards on my 250. Ebay has a set under $300. My card is in a pretty big block of ice though.........

    I guess it could always compete with the Porsche Cayenne. Albeit, compete slower. Battle of the Suvs with low profile tires.

    So using the wheels and tires for scale, 16.5" rocker clearance? My truck has 28" clearance there, and 18" under the trans crossmember, which is the lowest point between the wheelbase. And it's barely enough for overlanding here.

    Trade F-150 for Tundra - Overland

    Nope. It's the same truck. There's very little difference between the two. I'd lean towards the F150, because the Tundra is a bit old fashioned at this point. Ford's have plenty of aftermarket support, just add the word ''Raptor'' to your search. Full underbody skidplates available...

    All the effort, and they put street tires on. Lol, they better not complain that ''Cooper tires blow up in gravel.'' or something.
