    Baja, Zion and cold weather camping

    If you havent seen "Hal the van" over on the sportsmobile forum check it out, he does a very in depth build, and there is some great info on insulation options.

    INSTANT OVERLANDER: Mikey's Transitory Sprinter Camper

    Nice! If it makes you feel better Ford announced the Transit wont be out until next summer 2014, with other sites saying fall 2014 at the earliest. You should keep buying and outfitting Sprinters for our entertainment if nothing else, I love your threads.

    I want your opinions on the Ecoboost.....

    Its ok girls, I will ignore you, you can do the same with me. Clearly reading comprehension is tough for some of you, as the comments were not directed to anyone in specific, and if anything were directed to the vehicle, not engine comments. Yes, it is annoying to go into a thread about an...

    I want your opinions on the Ecoboost.....

    Ugh, nothing more annoying than coming into a thread specifically about ecoboost and reading about dodge, chevrolet, etc. Lets keep in mind lots of people will be viewing these threads, so if its specific to ecoboost lets try and keep it that way, there are plenty of other threads on which...

    I just spent four hours with the new 2014 GMC Sierra....wow!

    I dont think it looks bad at all. Just need to get rid of or blacken the outer headlights, it looks "diamond studded" with the led's.

    I believe thats 3.2L I wouldnt hold your breath on AWD regardless to what is said, though I suppose its easy to say down the road, and wait to see what the demand is like. People have been talking about the sprinters AWD for years....the reality is it will probably never happen, I dont see...

    Hindsight = 20/20...what did you wish you had left behind? What did you need?

    I just broke down near the entrance of a desert here in Colombia almost a month ago, and am thankful that I was lucky enough to limp back to town more or less and dont have a story similar to yours, its very easy to end up in that situation. I was really looking forward to driving several hours...

    Hindsight = 20/20...what did you wish you had left behind? What did you need?

    I had some guys try and rip my awning off without tools, woke me up at 4:30am. They were unsuccessful but I would say that keeping things on the roof will always provide a bit of risk...dont put anything up there you are not willing to lose. Good advice. I would add SPOT messenger for any...

    2Guys1Truck: Astro Van through Central and South America March 2012

    You know, that has a nice ring to it. Also, I was able to get 41 more days on my Passport as you get 6 months per calendar year according to the people in Santa Marta, so it resets on Jan 1st. The DIAN is also giving me 10 or so more days so I can get the van shipped back. As usual in...
