    Earth Cruiser -DEF

    @ScottPC, my point was its not DEF that killed the diesel earthcruiser, perhaps all the events that lead up to DEF being mandated taken as a whole.. but DEF in itself is rather trivial in these calculations and in itself not responsible for the death of the diesel engine.. If your in a place...

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    All done and ready to hit the road, I decided I wanted more strength so I drilled out the M8 Rivnuts I installed earlier, drilled all the way through to the inside and put an M10 Rivnut in.. then got some 60mm Stainless Steel full thread bolts and locking nuts.. this thing has no chance of...

    Earth Cruiser -DEF

    You dont have to actually delete it, tuners can override the lockout countdown and various other things so if you drive far enough away the DEF dries up you can just keep driving w/out it.. otherwise if you fill the tank up it'll use it, just might not inform you when the tank has run dry, not...

    Earth Cruiser -DEF

    Yeah when towing it really chews through DEF, I filled it up at several truck stops before... they got em at the pumps, you dont needa carry em with yeh, its cheap as ******** too.. full tank was like $8, wallmart was like $12.. If you leave North America with a Common Rail Diesel yer in for more...

    Earth Cruiser -DEF

    DEF isint that big of a deal, its pissing into a pipe.. literally, the only thing that sucks about it is the lockout from driving it when its empty or has some sort of fault.. but its just a pump, a nozzle, a catalyst, and a couple sensors to for tank level and to make sure its actually UREA in...

    Almost done w/the portable panel install, put some boat handles on the panel so my wife and I can carry it around and bolt it back down more easy out in the field.. also to add support when traveling and aid in removal/install I added a small shelf we can sit the bottom on.. its nice and sug...

    Wife needs indoor accommodations....what is worth buying?

    I rented a Taxa Cricket for the Eclipse and a couple weeks in Yellowstone area, concluded it was too much money for what it was.. perhaps if it had a nice aluminum chassis under it to match the body but the leaf suspension on the flimsy steel frame that was already rusting all over just noped me...

    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    You could be on to something there, I've got a DC charging system from the factory.. I dont think any of my electronics are exposed to the raw alternator output so its likely getting cleaner power w/less RF noise.. Ive got onboard hotspot/3g cell/433Mhz remote for Webasto and probably some other...

    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    ah yeah thats what I get for typing before morning coffee... just standard cat6, non shielded.. it does have an isolator inside to keep the pairs separated.. I use the DTMF mic and audio sounds perfect.. I just used normal T568B, didnt realize Kenwood did anything different. There was a little...

    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    I just used some standard CAT6e I had lying around, put a punch down box on one end and a crimp on another... then a choke right out of the radio.. Sounds great on my D710G

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Never seen a minivan that was designed for towing but its not least but uncommon for European SUV's to have 8klb tow rating.. pretty standard stuff, not the least bit uncommon, you'll have a harder time finding one with a low tow rating.. Domestic SUVs, you wont come close to that until your up...

    I count 51 models listed, 8 of them exceed the max weight ratings of a Cayenne, half eh?.. and CanAmRV has been modifying this chassis since ~2004 for carrying extra tongue weight.. here's someones feedback from the mods.. Lets see, Will it stop it? the Porsche has 6 piston brembo calipers...

    Likewise, sucks your pickups are such garbage you gotta buy the biggest one they make to actually tow comfortably, but thats what you get when you drive huge pieces of ******** that are not even very good at what everyone thinks they are built for. all you guys with your underpowered domestics...

    That Cayenne is a better tow vehicle than anything you've been behind the wheel of I have to conclude given your abundance ignorance.

    You have zero idea ****** your talking about, I dont even use sway bars or WD, cuz you know air suspension is better than that garbage and I've never had a white knuckle experience driving across Kansas with massive sidewinds.. that airstream wont budge that 5klb suv doing 70mph, there's a whole...

    lol that Cayenne on air will pull that airstream better than any domestic truck.. I know because I tow a 7klb trailer with a diesel engine on that same platform and its a ************** dream, Ive towed with domestics, hundreds of thousands of miles, and that lil German SUV whops the crap outta em...
