    Pequod - A 2019 Ram Power Wagon Build

    my '17 2500 has the laramie trim bench seat instead of center console. i love it. if you have a gf, it's definitely the way to go. that's all i'll say about that! the comment about fuel tank size is spot on. it's sad. i'd really like to figure out how to double the capacity

    What you look for in a portable power unit

    My system is 306Ah and I think designed by idiots. I’m about to redo it. I got a large inverter and 99x out of 100 I am just using it to charge a laptop or something and it just wastes a ton of juice. I occasionally need something stronger so the idea of two inverters makes sense to me...

    bunch of questions about e-bikes

    i have been reading a lot about them, but don't have a place to test drive so i have lots of n00b questions. any insight would be appreciated. what happens when the battery dies? does pedaling require more force due to the drag of the motor or do you essentially free wheel? are some...

    SONICMASD's 98 Montero LS Build & Adventure Thread: Black Betty

    cool thread. brings back memories. i had a 1983 montero, 2-door, stick, mud tires. years later i had a 1995 montero SR which was basically a land cruiser wannabe. both were awesome vehicles.

    how to inspect jerry cans

    may sound like a stupid question, but I see repeated recommendations to inspect your jerry cans, presumably for rust or corrosion or something but no instructions. My camper has four total, with two used for water and two for diesel. None of them are leaking. So what's the procedure...

    my imagine trailvan initial review

    so i just finished 10 days in Nantahala NOC and Tsali taking a wilderness first responder cert class. Few more updates: It rained a lot every day (river was way up which made the river rescue scenarios fun) but no more leaks so I think I've got that sorted. With the rain and parked in shade...

    my imagine trailvan initial review

    James and crew continue the excellent support... Yesterday I managed to rip the jack wheel thing off the tongue of the trailer while going through a creek. Basically destroyed the bracket, but the wheel and jack mechanism was fine. They had an extra bracket in stock and shipped it to me...

    Sleeping in Walmart parking lot with roof top tent

    last weekend i pulled into a walmart parking lot in western NC around midnight, with my truck and trailer. It was like fast and furious. every teenager in town had apparently removed their muffler and suspension to pawn them for money to buy neon lights. they were like roaches huddling in...

    my imagine trailvan initial review

    it's a normal double bed (or close enough to it that the sheets fit) find one in a mattress store and try it. my guess is a couple would be ok if they like to cuddle in the winter. two big guys in august? no.

    my imagine trailvan initial review

    I ordered the two-bed model last year, just after the overland expo east, and then picked it up in Pittsburgh on Feb 24. I don't want to act like I know everything about them. I've ony had it 2 months and taken it on two short weekend trips, the first of which was to Gatlinburg and Cades Cove...

    There's an AEV Prospector XL conversion Ram 2500 chassis for sale in N. Georgia!

    pretty sure that's stock paint. i think they call it prairie or something. however, it does not appear to be an XL model as stated in the title of thread (also, not sure what they did in '15, but in '16/17 if you wanted grill to be body color instead of black or chrome, then you got the...

    air powered bottle jacks?

    ok, follow up questions for those of you who have used the bottle jacks.... 1. instructions say (literally) that you need to oil them once or twice a month. seriously? 2. have you used the jack in freezing temps? what is the operating temp range of the jack? I looked in both the manual...

    steel mesh for mobile 2/70 antenna?

    hey Bill, are you bringing the drool-worthy keysight stuff to CFW? I will be lucky to get my 2m/70cm antenna installed by then. tarheel stubby will probably still be sitting in garage. trying to figure out where to put it on the new rig. thinking about putting my j-pole and long wire tuner...
