    rtt vs slide in camper

    I have been lusting for a 4 wheel camper for years but... You can get a roof top tent for about $600 and have it delivered within a week. I have a cheap smittybilt and it is a LOT better than camping in a ground tent in my opinion. A 4 wheel camper shell model is north of $15000 and had a 6...

    High milage on 2015 4x4 F 150

    Do Full Sized Vehicles Make Good Overland Cars?

    A v8 crew cab f 150 would be perfect if it didn’t have to go back to the shop so much. A 36 gallon tank and 17 mpg Loaded down on the highway at speed is twice the range my wife’s 4 runner. and it cost less, came with a locker, can tow twice as much, has a lot more payload and space. just...

    2004 2WD Chevy Tahoe, what are my options.

    I will also say that it was not the lack of 4 wheel drive that made me switch trucks. It was because I had babies needed room for car seats.

    Is This Even a Thing? New to Overlanding

    do the work yourself. Just figure it out. Seriously You will not learn anything worth knowing from bubba with a neck tattoo at 4 wheel parts. He doesn’t know anything. He was selling vacuum cleaners door to door last week.

    Is This Even a Thing? New to Overlanding

    4 runners have TINY gas tanks so be careful with lifts and tires. It really stinks having to stop all the time for mo gas. Also be careful of weight. Bumpers are heavy. You don’t want to have to stop for gas every 100 miles. lockers are wonderful things. Skid plates are good to have. A 2 inch...

    Is it stupid or will it work? Charging aux battery through 400W inverter?

    I mainly use it for power tools and a blender for margaritas. but was thinking it would be nice to have installed more permantly with some outlets in the bed but figure I might as well have the dash plug too.

    Is it stupid or will it work? Charging aux battery through 400W inverter?

    So I am glad it worked out for the op do any of you with the factory inverter think it would be possible and practical to replace it with a real one and still use the plug in the dash? my f150 does not have the factory inverter. I do have a dual battery setup that powers my fridge and...
