    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    FYI Cayenne seats don't fold truly flat, not like a Rover. One crappy thing about the Cayenne. What chassis Cayenne are you looking at, 955/957('04-10), or 958('11-19'ish)? I can tell you that if you moved both front 958 Cayenne seats forward, and you fashioned a platform for each of you...

    F550 SRW Suspension kits Buckstop / DBL

    So what I'm reading is that their adventure option is still hugely overpriced. Copy that.

    Gassers: Ram 3500 6.4L vs Ford's F350's 6.2 and 7.3 Godzilla for overlanding

    Haha, azz! I've had these 4gal Rotopax's (in black vs red mind you--special edition biznatch) longer than you've been driving off-pavement. ;) But you are correct--not much extreme cold weather use yet. But, being petrol, I'm limited in aftermarket choices. Especially since you didn't like my...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    Tacosalad!! I'm loving the Mom's Attic. Well done sir. Driver rear gray water tank; what about putting a simple v-valley/trough in it for the 2 fuel lines to sit in? Like this pic of an aluminum fuel tank here?;

    What will happen sooner... a Ford Gas vs Diesel dilema

    You can have a custom pass-thru made for the truck cab, that's what we were going to have professionally done (replace the rear windshield with an aluminum plate with upper crawl-thru, then have a lower crawl-thru cut, all nicely framed in). Any reason to not consider a slightly used truck (if...

    Gassers: Ram 3500 6.4L vs Ford's F350's 6.2 and 7.3 Godzilla for overlanding

    Continuation from the other thread... @ScottPC have you considered a Ford chassis-cab, so that you can get the 40gal aft-of-rear axle fuel tank? Pics of my it on my old rig with such a tank here...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Still no answer from Maxxis on the 3ply sidewall confirmation. I'll have to call them again and try to get through to technical. Snowflake rated if possible is nice, or just get real winter tires to be safe. Ah, synthetic line on your winch, I missed that--good to hear. I'll add the gauge mod in...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Thx for the info Peter. Maxtrax are heavy? Compared to a winch as a "stage1" recovery tool(after a shovel)? ;) Glad to hear on the Yoko Geolander X-AT's in deeper/fresh snow. Thanks for the tree clearing video. Looks like that's been the main use of the winch thus far. How are you getting up...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Thanks for this video P&F. When you were winching out of the snow field, what tire pressures were you at then? When did you have F&R lockers engaged during your trip, if at all? Do you carry Maxtrax or the like, and if not, do you think those would have helped? How about chains for the rear in...

    (Another) 2021 Ram 5500 Build Thread

    https://liquidspring.com ? Neither cheap $ I understand. Interesting business tactic to keep DIY'ers out of the equation, if that's specifically why their instructions suck. My $0.02 from this industry, it's more likely laziness. When you're 1 of 1, or 1 of 2 in the market, some just don't push...
