Why not the standard Crew Cab, long bed with a bed? You can sell the bed and tailgate. There is a box delete option for $100, but the bed/gate is worth $500-1500!! The pickup model has a boxed frame which is wider than the Cab/Chassis and stiffer. It has a 50 gallon tank, no option for the...

I don't think this mount has changed.

The price is very reasonable. If sold at the EC factory it would be significantly more.

I have an Earth Cruiser EXP (pop top). It has a very low center of gravity. No sway bars in the suspension, only leaf springs and it still corners very flat. The box is fixed at the front with spring hold downs to the rear. I never notice the box flopping around. It does have some 'frame...

Having the pivot at the front and fixed points at the rear just looks wrong. It makes the box pivot and flop around way more than necessary. It also puts all the stress at one end of the frame. The front axle has no contribution stabilizing the box. It seems much better to have the fixed...

I carry a Bosch battery saws-all with a 12" blade. Easy to carry a blade for metal and an abrasive for hardened steel. Very quiet and if the blade gets stuck, I pop it off and mount another one.

Lots of room under the bed.

+1 on Bushwacker OEM flares. Very easy install. No drilling.

My 2013 RAM/Cummins - worst mileage was 14 mpg. That was loaded with a Fourwheeler type camper, pulling a 7x16, 5000 lb load, enclosed trailer and running into a 20 mph head wind at 65-75 mph. Generally, it got 16-17 towing and 18.5-21 empty. I'm currently buying my 5th RAM/Cummins, but a...

2021 Overland West was in the fall, so dusty. If you were parked near the entrance road, you'd hate it. Otherwise, very nice weather until leaving Sunday morning. We pulled out about 5 minutes before the rain. In 2019, it was in the spring, like it will be this year. Had a few light...

Dang. Well, glad I've got mine.

Yup, Open Street Maps. In the West USA they are very accurate and detailed. Works great in my 276Cx and as the base map for Garmin's POS BaseCamp. http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

West in Flagstaff is probably the bigger event. Camping location can be good or bad just depending on the dice roll. You get assigned a spot on arrival. It can be dusty or snowy depending on the weather gods. If you've never gone before, it can take the entire day. I'd just get the middle...

Depending on where you camp, bring a mountain bike. It can be a long way to the show.

I've seen home made tanks across the front of the bed. A 58 wide x21 tall x4 thick" tank holds 21 gallons. 58X21X8" would be 42 gallons. Just move your camper back a few. Easy to plumb, easy to remove after sale, not expensive to have fabbed up. I could probably get it all done for $300.

Method wheels are a great choice. 37's seem a little big for towing. But, looks great.

DS = Drive Shaft? The Core models have a different transfer case. It's like the Merican pickups. In 2WD the power passes directly through, no gear stack to move the output drive shaft to the bottom of the case like the Fuso. Also, the gear train is stationary in 2WD, the shaft just passes...

My Toyota pickup was the most unreliable vehicle I've owned new, with terrible mileage and terrible ride on top of it. Oh, and BTW, Dodge hasn't made a truck for ten years.

I re-read the comment that I was referring to. You are too subtle for me. I thought you were talking about powering some four wheeled adventure vehicle with a battery and charging it while on the road without support. I do know how that would (not) work. Now I think you are talking about a...

If it is still under the 200 deg. F range, it's good. Above that, like 250 F, the oil will degrade quickly, like 20k miles. Above 300 F, oil is done. If you're running close to max weight, it's expected.
