OK, I knew when I went from a Toyota to a GM product, that there might be some differences in fit and finish, and most of the time, I'm fine with it (and to be fair, the GM stuff isn't as bad as I thought it was, and the Toyota stuff isn't as great as reputation sometimes makes it out to be.)...

Still trying to work out solar power for our camping rig but right now the biggest issue is energy storage, i.e. battery. . The SuperStart (Deka) that I bought in December is rated at 55ah. It is a Group 34/78 (i.e. it has both side and top terminals - this was a requirement for me as jump...

So, yes, I have read through the other "help me figure out a solar power setup" threads and I'm still somewhat befuddled. I also should point out that my solar needs are a little different from what most of the other people seem to be wanting. I'll apologize in advance for being somewhat...

A couple of folks here have said that the fuel pump on the GMT800 trucks can be problematic. I haven't heard of this before, what are the symptoms? When (mileage wise) does this seem to occur, and is there any fix other than a pre-emptive replacement? . I just want to make sure my Suburban...

For the benefit of those who may be considering a GMT-800 series truck (Chevy or GMC, roughly 1999 through 2006 or 2007, depending on whether you are looking at pickups or SUVs) I thought I'd share my "first impressions" here. . I got my new-to-me '04 Suburban back in December, the primary...

Is there a FAQ or something on R50 Pathys? . Toying with the idea of getting one as a DD/light ExPo (non-towing) vehicle. . Just looking for general info, like what engine/transmission combos were available, what kind of 4wd systems did they have, known problems/issues, options to avoid or...

Hey, I just wanted to add to the knowledge base here - I read about a mod over on the Tahoe/Yukon forum that might be useful to those of us with LT/LS/Base model GMT800 trucks (won't work for the Z71s). Should work for most Yukon and Yukon XL models, too. As for the Silverado/Sierra, not sure...

I just spent 3 hours wrestling the with stupid, idiotic, dumb, dumb, dumb spare tire hoist on my Suburban. :mad: For those not aware, the GMs (at least like mine) have a mechanism to hold the spare tire under the rear of the vehicle with a cable hoist - a setup that lots of trucks and SUVs...

FWIW seems like this topic would be relevant to other GMT-800 series trucks (2000 - 2006) Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado, Avalanche, etc. . Yesterday driving across town I happened to see a Suburban that had exactly the "stance" I want for mine. Unfortunately I was driving down I-225 at...

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced food vacuum sealer, preferably that runs off of 12v and is reasonably rugged? I want to start vacuum sealing food when we are camping. I think it will keep the food fresher and I think it will keep the fridge cleaner (no matter how many zip loc bags you...

Stock suspension from my 2007 4runner. Includes 2 x front coil springs, 2 x rear coil springs, 2 x front shock absorbers and 2 x rear shocks. $50 OBO. At this price it's not worth it for me to ship it so I'm looking at doing a local sale. PM or email me at martinjmpr@yahoo.com . .

Hi, Folks. I haven't been very active on the MC board since I ride mostly on-road, but I know we have a lot of other BMW riders and I wanted to pick the brains of those of you who are knowledgeable about BMWs. I have a 2002 R1150R that I bought in 2013 with about 50k on it. It has around 62k...

I wasn't going to post this now since there have been a plethora of BB trip reports lately but since someone asked on another thread I thought I'd post our report up. . INTRO: . I have wanted to go to Big Bend for years. Back in 2012, the wife and I almost chose to go down there for...
