    Expedition Portal at the 2012 Outdoor Retailer Winter Show

    Goal Zero is also working on a charge controller that is a stand alone unit to be wired in between any solar source and a vehicles battery. I saw it at OR and it is a clean simple design although the unit I saw was a prototype ready for production. It should be available this spring. Regards Brian

    Hi Pete, What are the details of the situation? I would recommend trying PM, email and phone. Then ask if anyone has had any contact with "name" but do it without implicating or accusing, just say you are trying to reach them. We have very little control over the buying and selling actions of...

    Don't Buy This Hitch Pin!

    I had the same thing happen with the same style pin. We had just pulled off the blacktop after about 700 miles and started our way up a very tame but rocky trail. Whump! and the Chaser was nose to the ground with no hitch pin to be found! At first I thought that style hitch pin was cool but I...

    Forester: ExPo Subaru Project

    Hey Rob, I can get you the roof and rack measurements. I need them anyway in preparation for a rack and tent. We plan on using a Thule system, towers and bars, to mount a tent to. As for the Turbo question, it was really a combination of availability, cost and the intent on keeping it simple...

    Forester: ExPo Subaru Project

    Bumpers? We're going to replace the front and rear bumpers due to a bit of damage on the current ones. I've been looking but the only aftermarket bumper I have found is from SubaExtreme and I don't believe they have any distribution into the US. Does anyone know of other options in the US...

    Forester: ExPo Subaru Project

    The new/used engine in the Forester is sounding really good. I think it was a successful engine swap! We have about 125 miles on it since installing the engine, about 35 miles around town and the rest on the highway. We're taking it easy and double checking a few things every few days to make...
