    2014 Xventure XV-2 - $13k

    What makes it even more difficult is, that I am not that far away from you. I am around Buffalo. Good luck with the sale.

    2014 Xventure XV-2 - $13k

    Awesome trailer. I would have this sitting in my driveway by now if I had the money. But it just isn't in the cards right now. Someone needs to buy this. They are the best offroad trailers I've ever seen.

    sPod Burned Out

    Yeah, things that can cause a fire ain't no joke. You are always better off to err on the side of caution & if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, pay a reputable shop to do it for you. We almost lost a brand new Toyota 4RUNNER to an electrical fire. It was literally seconds away...

    Need to find solar parts in Baja!!!

    I am sure that everyone knows or at least heard the phrase, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When traveling to remote areas, it is worth every minute of your time to ensure you bring hard to find parts you might need with you. Also, specific stuff that you may need depending on...

    Colorado ZR2 Bison Build

    I'm still leaning hard towards the Dirtbox Canopy Camper for our 23' ZR2. I called & got some details. What I was told by authorized dealer: $2000.00 down and you also have to pay for any & all options up front, at the same time you put the money down. Life is happening but that's still the...

    Is anyone else waiting.......

    Almost any truck on portals looks cool ! Very expensive but it gives you the offroad trifecta: lift, ground clearance and lower gearing, for bigger tires.

    Litium batteries for winching

    We had a 2008 Dodge Power Wagon. It had a winch and a 160 amp alternator & 1150 cca battery and it was unbelievably inadequate for running the winch. The charging system light would start flashing after 10 seconds of light duty winch work. Only thing that solved it was a 370 amp alternator and...

    Victron Orion DC to DC charger cooling

    Well, heat and moisture is the enemy of electronics. I have had 2 power amps loose a channel because of heat. That was in the days long before non contact thermometers, lol. But yes heat is definitely the enemy over long periods of time. If you can easily reduce the temperature, it is time and...

    One Bad Battery

    Technology is great. The whole world advances everytime someone invents something new. I have 3 agm batteries. One is from 2006. The other 2 are Cabelas X-900 agm .They are all still working and charge to 13.6v. Sometimes simpler is better. Sometimes not.

    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    Whether it's reliable long term or not remains to be seen. But I love our truck and yes, compliments and questions every time we go out. Even our mailman said it looks angry, Lol. We also had a 2019 red diesel ZR2 and a Power Wagon w/G-56 before that. Once you have lockers, you just don't...

    ❇️ How To Super INSULATE 12v Chest Fridge / Freezer?

    Just my 2 cents, yes, you can insulate it, and even get creative. Just don't forget to upgrade the actual exhaust of the heat that motor produces. I always have run an extra fan on our ARB fridges in hot weather. It would run nonstop in 100° heat solo. The extra fan helped a lot.

    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    Still loving our ZR2. I have had some challenges with dealer and recalls. Seems I am the Guinea pig. If you have recalls done, make sure they do the multi module one first and follow the directions to the letter. It took 6 days for them to change the oil and filter, rotate the tires and...

    Suspension system for coolers in truck bed.

    Great idea, I just don't know if a cooler suspension system would actually keep your beverages from self destructing ? I strap my fridge/freezer/s very tightly, so they don't move. I am sure you do too. I have had things move around inside fridge but never a failure of a container. Maybe if...

    Ultimate Camping Pan, 12" Carbon Steel Wok!

    Thanks for the write up. Isn't it great when you can find something fairly inexpensive the punches way above its weight class ? I know I sure do, lol. Makes you feel like you found a cheat code ! Lol I also really like the 17" Lodge dual handle skillet. You can cook a little bit or a gigantic...

    Outdoor cutlery

    JICYDK, Cabelas has a new line of fairly priced bushcraft line that consists of a machete, large knife, small knife and a hatchet, all made from 5160 spring steel, which I absolutely love. Fairly priced but once sharpened, holds its edge really well. I picked up the machete. Grind was slightly...

    3way portable fridge

    Lehman's Store in Ohio is the biggest place in the USA that I know of who sells propane fridge and or freezers. But be prepared for sticker shock. They are very expensive. We have 2, ARB fridge/freezers. Absolutely love them. I had propane rv fridges for 20 years when we had campers. They...

    Schutt XV-F Toy Hauler

    I would actually call Shutt Industries and ask. It is a specialty trailer, so many times people will contact company that they bought it from, to resell it on consignment. GL finding your trailer.
