Friend is on 2yrs with his custom ordered LB 250 7.3 Tremor he went from a 2500 service bed Dodge Diesel. He loves it very happy with it. Uses it for his construction company and hauling his boat. He bought two more 250 7.3 service trucks for his company 1.5 yrs ago and all his guys really like...

Main bearings in the go device.

My 80 was barely even beyond new when I had it. Did a few trips but after a couple of long trips, it was relegated to local stuff only mainly due to lousy mileage and range which really sucked on a couple of trips out west. As for mileage vs reliability? All my buddies with the well respected...

The 2023 191mdb I looked at yesterday was $55,000 Dealer tagged in a town where the average 3bd 2ba house is $800,000. Prime example of just how jacked up and over priced these are. I bet they sell the 2022’s for 36k or less with the wrong glue used on the flooring which turns the flooring...

I like the modern design ideas and they are 7.5ft wide so beyond a well traveled road and say water run off bar, hump in the road they aren’t going to realistically do much beyond that. For my use the “Idea” is pretty good but price is not in realistic reality and that’s someone who can pay cash...

Seeing 2023 - 191msl the 221mdb and one of their fancy cruise models up close. My initial thoughts are other than the duel pane windows, Truma system and thoughtful design ideas the cabinets and exterior doors are nothing different than Geo Pro or say Wolf pup. Same gaskets, same sloppy cabinet...

Finally looked at a couple of Embers today. Went to see the 191msl. Liked it but really, really do not want a slide. My cargo needs aren’t heavy just bulky and need out of sight out of mind road mode storage which the MSL has. Definitely liked it. Not $66,000 down to $55,000 liked it but if the...

Here ya go… Way better than a 4runner for small travel trailers and way better on the pocket book.

Very few trailers other than racing boats with specific weigh in weights are ever 10-15% tongue weight. Unless the owner is splitting hairs towing with a TV thats on the edge of being too light in the shorts for the job.

I bet the flat bed weighs more than the crummy plastic bed Toyota uses in the stock truck. Unfortunately as mentioned going bigger wheel to fit bigger brake gear is the ultimate fix. The migration to big wheels in the modern stuff isn’t driven by the wanabe gangstas wanting 22’s ??. The new...

I like these designs but wish they would do the same layout only 16-18ft box so a dad could pop a simple kid bunk across the front East/West at the top edge of the hard side or N/S between the rear bed and front wall. My kids aren’t going to be into camping much longer but we need a...

The Amazon van has started to appear on our roads here in the Bay Area. The Rivian pickup is pretty small when you see it in person.

I had a 4spd late 93 build basically a 94 custom order 80. I was second owner. First owner was a lady with a Landcruiser crush. Bought it at 96,000 miles. The knuckle seals were junk, rebuilt those and the axle seals. Kept it stock suspension shocks replaced. Ran 285 KO 2’s on it. Had it 8...

The cheap imported mass produced stuff definitely has migrated to pretty poor quality. Also cost cutting has hit the point where spring length and the metal stock availability has lots of imported stuff running really short leaf springs and pretty low quality steel straps. Its a big combination...

? he added a real porcelain throne and granite countertops along with 800amp hours of lithium power.

6ft cut away fin 8000lbs empty. ?

Pssstt they are cheaper than these Chinese imports. By a huge margin!!!

The independent sp trailers especially the tall ones do have negatives especially those long pavement stretches between the short dirt parts. They don’t track as nice as the leaf spring trailers. Notice sway bars getting added to the Chinese stuff and lots of chatter about finding better shocks...

Likely ordered them from China with available/ existing equipment thus got them sooner. ROI’s big thing ie value add is their pushing for more NA centric stuff n the trailer.

The market definitely is goofy right now. Those who feel they have secure employment are buying when they need something and waiting for more market drop to jump on deals. Then we have lots of people who definitely feel the pinch from high food, gas and financing costs who are definitely not...
