    Input on VW IRS for Off-Road Trailer?

    I was playing around with this idea a while back. I was going to ditch the torsion bars in favor of an air bag setup. There were a few ways I was looking at, either using an aftermarket housing or build my own. By not using the torsion bars, it's not to build your own housing. Figured I...

    Problems with Magellan Crossover

    For those who are having problems, have you installed the update? It's a major update which I did within the first week I owned mine. So far in the 10 months, I have only had the Outdoor mode lock up once and the Street Nav "loose" the street maps display twice. Overall we have been very...

    C.Shontz 2001 Jeep Cherokee (Progress)

    Just an FYI, you can get a little more droop out of the suspension if you trim the shock mount on the axle where the lower control arm hits. Look on your pic where the arm hits. Most aftermarket arms are built so they don't hit the axle mount without having to trim. When I put my JKS arms in...

    Overland Journal Trailer Comparison

    I agree about the weight listed (since it was my Kamparoo in the test and XJ). These weights are manufacture listed dry weights, I believe without options. I haven't dragged mine to a scale yet but I know loaded up for a trip, it comes in about the 1400# range or under. This trailer is light...

    Pett Potty Review

    We have been very happy with our PETT and Pup tent. You are correct about the Pup being "light" but the added bonus is that it is light and small to pack. We have found using an old cat litter plastic tub with lid works great for storing the used Wag bags until disposal. It's great because it...
