    LED tail light woes!

    Yup me too. Except I consider the others slow and mine just right. :)

    2016 Colorado Diesel

    Not that it really matters to me. In fact I never noticed this before. Now I can't stop looking at every vehicle on the road to see the shape of their wheel wells. Damn you...

    No whining, just wining...

    We were in shirt sleeves at sunset in mid October on the coast. Makes no sense. Leavenworth WA I believe. About 2 hours out of Seattle on the east side of the Cascade range. It is a beautiful area most any time of the year. Fall colors made it seem like I was driving through a giant salmon...

    No whining, just wining...

    Found a quiet place between two vineyards to spend the night. Off to the coast to spend the day. The FUSO is heavy for the beach but held its own as the sun set.

    No whining, just wining...

    Not an epic adventure but bugged out in the FUSO for a few days. 1200 miles or so from Seattle to the wine country of Walla Walla WA to the Pinot country of OR and off to the coast. The trip this time of year through the cascades is beautiful. About three hours away are the Palouse Falls...

    Do you leave your camp stove out overnight?

    I will leave it out in all areas except when bears and other 4 legged animals may get too curious. I voted as always, given the bear deal is an exception.

    Large capacity water tank ideas

    +1 on the size issue. 40 gallons is a lot of water. But that said I have 50 in my FUSO but have a shower, two sinks and a flushing Thetford. I carried 25 in my Tacoma rig with a rarely used external shower and only an outside small tap for water. I never came close to using it all. I would...

    Ford Transit Quigley vs Sprinter 4x4?

    Well my two pennies. Having spent time in a Sprinter off pavement in Peru (albeit a 2wd but got an good sense of the suspension and manners) and having owned and driven the Expo West Taco both off pave and offroad there is simply no comparison between those two in both what you can do and how...

    Most common things to break

    Without a doubt non factory items have caused me the most grief. Seems like the more cool stuff add the greater the liability.

    Trasharoo, first impressions....

    The mounting system is poor IMO. I dreaded taking it on and off. I have always thought that a sleeve or pocket mounting system that slipped over the top half of the spare then tightened from the bottom would be easy and ideal. . This is a trash container. Not sure if any have failed when used...

    Ford Transit Quigley vs Sprinter 4x4?

    I'll ask out of ignorance. I was very impressed with the sportsmobile 4x4 transfer case and their full front and rear locker system in general. It appears like both a far more capable and more robust system. Is it not possible to go with their system on the transit over the quig?

    Embarrassingly basic question

    Just a reminder that if you are going to Alaska in June or July you will need any of those lights. Just sayin.

    RTT Regrets

    I have never regretted not being able to see the sky from inside my tent. Warm and dry are the top requirements for me.

    A challenge to the "lead sled" ADV bikes offered today

    Yes but with 4-500 mile oil service intervals and 800-1000 mile valve checks, it is not practical for any sort of traveling.
