    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Only have about 2500km on the car so far, and averaging about 8.0L/100km, between both highway and city (during the winter months with winter wheels and tires). I'm also in Calgary and travel to the mountains, so I've really yet to have a tank where I didn't do large elevation changes on it...

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Just picked up a 2014 Crosstrek Hybrid. Not sure what mods to do so far. I was going to install a hitch, but might be rethinking that for a roof top basket and LED light bar.

    Subaru XV Cross Trek Hybrid

    I just picked up a Plasma Green like the pictures. I test drove both the Sport and the Hybrid. The hybrid gives a little more kick accelerating, and I like the Start/Stop nature of it in traffic. Yes it costs a little more, but it also feels more upscale than the Sport's (at least in Canada). In...

    FUEL CELLS FOR CAMPERS. FUTURE GETTING CLOSER

    Thanks for sharing. Thats pretty interesting. Still a little pricey for our off road style trailers, but great for bigger trailers. Hopefully the technology will continue to improve and the cost come down a bit more.

    JKMike's Kakadu "build" thread

    Ya, we were just passing through Quesnel when I saw the trailer and pulled a u-turn. I think I saw Matt post pictures from that trip on his FB page. Anyways, yes, more mods to come. I'm heading out camping this coming weekend at Burnt Timber. Hopefully the next time I'm home I'll get the tongue...

    Propex Heatsource furnace question

    Reviving a bit of an old thread here, but I have some questions for those running the HS2000 in their RTT. I have a Bushranger 200 tent and I'm wondering if the HS2000 would be sufficient or if I should bump up to the HS2800. I'd like to extend the season as much as possible and get out more...

    JKMike's Kakadu "build" thread

    ok, back to the build portion of the "build" thread. The PT 2x4's for the spare tire mount servered their purpose for the first year, but it needed to go. I decided I would mount the tire to the back gate of the trailer. Here is my "test fit". Tire & mount are being held by my cargo rack...

    JKMike's Kakadu "build" thread

    Hey Guys, So I thought I would post some progress as I go through "building" up my trailer. It's more so modifying the existing trailer to suit what I want to do. By no means doing the sort of builds that many on here have done. I bought the trailer just over a year ago, and have made some...

    Quicksilver expedition trailer.

    I didn't see you mention it above. With how the box is sitting and the wheels now mounted, it looks like there may be a conflict with any fender that you run. (or do you have a solution already)

    Would you buy a RTT with air conditioning/heating??

    I'm going to be hooking up heat to my kakadu this year for extended camping. Nights in alberta don't get too hot but they can certainly get cold. While mine isn't quite a RTT it's close enough.

    Tent heater for the Springbar Vagabond 7

    I'm looking at going with the propex heatsource. Yes, quite expensive, but with the size of my trailer, and the winter camping I want to do soon, I think it'll be the best option for me.

    The Great Camp Chair Debate

    Made one of those chairs in cubs as a kid. They are pretty comfy, but yes, a cushion on the bottom would make it even better.

    Rubicon 10th Anniversary

    Love the colour. Bumper looks cool. Not a fan of the stock wheels now. They look too chunky IMO.

    Headlight upgrade?

    Not sure if they would fit, but I think TruckLite makes some LED replacements.

    How to weld with dual batteries, jumper cables and a welding rod- video

    Saw a guy do this on the trail once. Had to scab together something (can't remember now what it was) on his front axle/steering. We used random bolts/scrap metal we could find in our trucks. He managed to get off the trail and onto his trailer. Definitely a cool site to see.
