    RTT question

    Considering a trailer with a RTT for the jeep. The tent pictures I've seen all have WIndow and door awnings and what looks like roof flies. Living and camping in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts I have a major concern. How do these trailers stand up to wind. Wether it's 110 in summer or 18 in...

    Neighbor offered me a Suburban for $1000. Trying to say no...

    So my neighbor mentioned she wanted to get rid of her Suburban. It's a 91 2500 Silverado 4X4 says "Fuel Injection." on the tailgate. The paint is lousy and she says the engine leaks/burns oil even though it was rebuilt before she got it. On the plus side it's cheap and since we live in the...

    Rant on my vehicles

    How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time... My elephants are the Suburban and the jeep. It's not that anything to be done is too big. It's that it all came at once. The jeep needs tires, top and there is something in there somewhere that will drain the battery in two days. The top and...
