    Newbie needs assistance with tire choice for new to me 2020 F550 4x4 Overlander

    that's a fact! drove past an over lander with two flats every day for a week while he waited for a commercial tire dealer and mobile repair truck to come from 200 miles away. i bet that was not cheep. the nice part of DRW's is that you have three spare tires in a pinch and 19.5 tires can be...

    Thoughts on registration and new diesel laws in California

    agree, we use the AAA office for almost everything. only have to go to DMV for DL issues. which in this little town is no big deal anyway.

    Camper Builder Comparison (UNICAT vs. GXV etc.,)

    150 gal in my GXV. more then enough. if you find a camp ground you just hook up, shower, do laundry, and split. daily showering when out in the bush is just way over rated. wipe all your dishes down after use and you wash up a pan two plates and the flat wear with less then a gallon. water is...

    the fewer the better. two well placed windows are all you need in my op. the are cold and need cleaning, and let bugs in and. any way. we have duel pain glass with built in screens and shades. i would not recommend any thing less then that.

    Deciding between Webasto and Espar for heat and hot water and where to mount it

    we have a webesto in ours. live and play 4500-8000 feet ASL. when i bought the GXV the system was intermittent to say the least but after i took it apart and cleaned it all up it has ran trouble free for two years. the big issue with these diesel heaters to make sure they get long run times and...

    Overland Exped Vehicle Rear Motorcycle and Tire Lift

    2 & 3 are mounted to the house so you get all of the vibration absorbing of the house mounting, much better design imho.

    Overland Exped Vehicle Rear Motorcycle and Tire Lift

    i mounted two storage boxes off the frame of my GXV. i am amazed what a beating the stuff i put in these boxes takes. the vibrations that the cab and house mounts adsorb is amazing. the stuff in these frame mounted boxes just gets hammered. just a personal observation.
