    Bought a Clam Quick Set Traveler screen room

    At that price point it certainly seems to beat an awning. And the bugs around here are horrendous. I've been using a tarp and tieing it to my roof rack cross bars on my topper as a hold over until I decided on an awning. This might make better sense. But it's not expo as ******* so I think I'd...

    porta toilets

    I've currently been using the Reliance portable toilet with "double duty" bags. #1 only for the wife when not subzero (she won't camp when below freezing anyways) I've used them for #2 when hunting/fall camping and winter camping, odour hasn't been much issue in those situations, but the price...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Probably just going to be from a local spring shop. Something comparable to OEM+ an AAL. Right now my main spring is super flat from using my truck as a 3/4 ton the first two years in fleet. Just slapped the AAL in at that point. Added 3" blocks after that when I added the Decked drawers...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Deposit on Escape 19 fiberglass trailer paid. Appointment Wednesday to buy out the Transit, which needed rear brakes at 40,000km to pass the safety lol. And to think I doubted the guys online claiming they needed to do rear brakes at 25k miles. Now to get driver side front spring bolt and a...

    Does it Exist? Newer AWD Tall-Wagon Van Thing You can Sleep In

    The 3.7 cyclone is reliable. I have one in my F150 and one in my Transit 250 medium roof. With a 2018 you should have the U joint driveshaft and not the guibo, but I'd crawl under and look. I'd also skip the factory LS and put something better in. Should be lots of choice for a Ford 9.75" With a...

    New Raptor..Ram killer

    Our complaints about giant tablets that are a pain in the ass to use especially on bouncy third world infrastructure like we have in my city, and look like they were tacked on as an afterthought are going to accomplish as much as yelling at a cloud. Look at how frequent mid lifecycle...

    New Raptor..Ram killer

    I agree 200% on the three knobs for HVAC and would love for some "features" to be dropped to keep price point the same but increase quality of vehicles. I guess I'm just an angry old man at heart.

    New Raptor..Ram killer

    Meanwhile I want a cyclone V6 Mustang lol Preferably an S550 but I'd take an S197 (Wife specifically said not allowed to buy a Mustang, period) Full bolt on cars can run low 12s (probably gears too if it's 2.71) Like, your grocery getter vanilla coupe NA on pump gas and bolt ons can do that, and...

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    I wonder what fuel economy will be once 34s are on the Chevy. 2 extra OD gears and different ratios might help some. Sometimes I think about going back to stock size for the fuel economy.

    New Raptor..Ram killer

    What sorcery has that Mazda rotary making that kind of HP without boost or juice?? I like how we are all lamenting about how under powered our 400+ HP production vehicles are these days. In high school I remember being excited about the Z06 Corvette, which if I recall was something like 400 HP...

    Thoughts on No Boundaries

    I think they got the size right. Lots of people looking for that larger than tear drop, smaller than a travel trailer sweet spot Something you can stand up in, but a bit narrower, bit shorter than the mainstream stick built. Something as a home base for when you are out cycling kayaking hiking...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Finally got a chance to shoot again last weekend. Lots of trouble with both .38 special cartridges I had. The 755 fps Remington and the +P were also Remington. Both were UMC but I forget what all details were for each like grains and velocity, bullet type etc but they had lead round nose or...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Ugh. I want an aluminum truck so I don't have to worry about cab and door rust. But since I'm buying out my 2018 Transit T250 lease in a few weeks, and we intend to buy a 2021 Escape 19 fiberglass trailer for the spring, that means I would need to have a loan for 5 years if I got a 2020 F150...

    Small cross-over SUV functional for adventuring?

    Impreza = Crosstrek Legacy = Outback Basically half of their vehicles are just a slightly lifted and modified version of their hatchbacks and wagons. Why Subaru dropped powerful engine options for many of their vehicles never made much sense to me, but it could be because of CAFE or something...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    This is a backpacking tent, it weights 1.2 lbs. We are doing a 60km hike in a month and a half so did some hiking with pack and gear etc. As a dry run sort of thing. Would also prefer a shotgun if expecting bear encounters but this rifle is far lighter and when in a group the expectation of bear...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Went out last weekend to get assaulted by a few hundred thousand mosquitos. Thinking I'd like an awning for the back of the truck. Not a big fan of the lightweight tent I have, set up is fussy and it suffers from condensation, and being so tight it's guaranteed you are brushing against the...

    Thoughts on No Boundaries

    Local dealer selling R-Pods for $25999 and wouldn't budge on price even with cash. I figure they are worth about 12-13k with the way they are built and the fact the warranty is essentially useless. XCvagn described and explained it perfectly.
