    Will James Baroud / Adventure Ready stand behind their Warranty?

    It is apparent that James Baroud and Adventure Ready have no intention of honoring their warranty. Tom the owner of Adventure Ready blames James Baroud. Antonio of James Baroud takes no accountability for how their certified dealer Tactical Application Vehicles (TAV) installed the tent. Photo...

    Will James Baroud / Adventure Ready stand behind their Warranty?

    Agreed when dealing internationally there are challenges. This thread has generated quite a bit of interest and there is a US based distributor being Adventure Ready. The FTC with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides quite a bit of protection for consumers. At least that what I'm being...

    Will James Baroud / Adventure Ready stand behind their Warranty?

    Today at 3:54 MST, Tom keeps mentioning mounting. Unfortunately the design was approved by JB or Portugal. Then the rack had no cross bars, unfortunately the cross bars support the width of the tent. To me it feels that Tom / Adventure Ready does not wish to support their customers. Problem I...

    Will James Baroud / Adventure Ready stand behind their Warranty?

    Update. So far it has been 2 months with NO indication from Adventure Ready or James Baroud. I have taken very detailed notes from every conversation. Initial indication is that Tom does NOT want to warranty the tent claiming it was not securely mounted. Problem with that statement is that the...

    Will James Baroud / Adventure Ready stand behind their Warranty?

    I have been in contact with Ernesto and Tom at Adventure Ready for a James Baroud Warranty. Issue is that the tent canvas started wearing through after it was installed by Tactical Application Vehicles in June 2018. Indication from Ernesto was that Adventure Ready is unsure if they would see a...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    Thanks for the input. When closing the tent the fabric will be pinched between the upper and lower shells, the foam helps but does not solve the design flaw. The dealer initially thought there was an issue when closing the tent, till he saw how I was operating the tent which is when Walt from...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    This tent has already been warrantied out before with the same canvas failure. The threads holding the canvas together are already worn away. Along the dotted line the canvas has become thin and will continue to cut along the bottom shell of the tent. The tent was purchased through Tactical...

    Has anyone run 9.00 x 16 NDT on a M416 or M100?

    Great question! With 7.00x16" on the trailer it has about 2.5" to 3" of clearance to the trailer frame. Ignoring height, the difference in width between the 7.00x16" and 9.00x16" is 2.1". Or figuring the tire is centered on the rim 1.05" less clearance between tire and frame. Between the 7.50...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    Just returned from a weekend camping trip having a great time. When opening the JB Evasion I was extremely disappointed seeing a hole in the fabric. Tent is only a few years old and would like to see how others have repaired / replaced the canvas.

    Telescoping rack question

    2' of over lay I'd say is plenty. Assuming 4 legs that would be 8' of total overlap with legs on each corner. As an example, for mountain bikes only 4" of overlap is needed for a seat post. With a telescoping rack is there any binding / friction with multiple legs?

    Tongue Box Ideas for 1/4 Ton Military Trailers

    With a M416 trailer, I was considered mounting a have a harbor freight tongue box with a 1-1/2" sub frame raising the box clearing the pintle mount. Currently I have an old ammo box mounted and converted to a tongue box. I really like how the converted ammo box matches the trailer. With the...

    Dummy here, trying to build a M416

    Ah, that makes sense. I made an incorrect assumption with hot rolled tubing... 1. Plan is for the RTT to rest on top of the trailer lid box 2. Attaching (If the tubing worked then drilled and screwed into the trailer. With 80/20, have an upper and lower box (inset into the trailer, also bolted...

    Dummy here, trying to build a M416

    Background: A few years back I picked up a M416 with plans to build an expedition trailer taking the RTT off the Tacoma and putting it on the trailer. While I can turn a wrench, I don't have access to a welder. Initial plan was to have a flip top lip, but then access to below would is limited...

    James Baroud Fan Failure

    Thank you, I have already called and spoke with you. Replacement fan is in route. From initial trouble shooting it appears that there is an issue with the motor. I'm planning on doing a full write up on the tent along with fan troubleshooting on a pending website.

    James Baroud Fan Failure

    Blade was completely removed, yet the noise remained. This was done initially as a suspected cause. JB seemed responsive today when I spoke with them. We shall see how this goes. I just sent a FB request to join the group!

    James Baroud Fan Failure

    After troubleshooting a second James Baroud solar fan, I am curious how much noise it generates on everyone else's rig. Initially the fan was very nice and quiet, not it thumps all night long. I'm hoping to get in touch with them Monday morning. Does any one have first hand experience replacing...

    so school me on xterras

    I had a 13 Xterra but sold it as my old 96 Cherokee proved to be more capable and reliable. For most trails the Xterra is fine but for more aggressive terrain I would choose a built Cherokee.
