    Are there any good fully enclosed travel trailers?

    Escape trailers in BC if you like fiberglass Boler style. We r looking at the 19. Tandem axle, 15'8" body inside, front dinette that becomes a bed and a fixed rear queen bed. Cot option for up front if you have small kids. Bumper to hitch is 19' or so. They also have a 21 NE that's the same...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Must be camera angles, plus I'm watching on a phone. Looks way more than 1/4". If that's what it is that's not bad, but I'd personally still put flares to protect paint. I'm not a fan of flares either but I generally run small tires so hasn't been issue so far. I hear you on the XL for...

    Why are other full size SUV's not used in overlanding/offroading as often as Forerunner/Landcruiser?

    Man I wish I had MTVR money. This forum always makes me feel poor.

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Wow second thing I saw is how far out of the wheel wells those tires were.

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    What are you going to install for wheel flares? Have you decided yet? Good to know about the 4.30 equalling stock ratio on 37s.

    He may not be, but I'm drunk and loving this thread! Lol "You don't get to whine that I'm not a real racer because I didn't work in a Pennsylvania foundry making my own brake rotors. I'm using Roush engines.....so what? Is there a rule that I have to make conrods out of my own bones or...

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    That is an insane amount of bolts for the lower valence. Truck looks better without it. But wow, why so many

    Vehicle choice

    2015+ xl/XLT F150 with base V6. Put Falcon shocks on it, maybe and add a leaf if you have a lot of load in the bed at all times. Should be borscht cheap used, "nobody" wants the "underpowered" base V6 trucks. They are slightly lighter than the V8/EcoBoost trucks and the high trim jobs. Weigh in...

    2015 f150 transmission issues?

    What is the frame lead connector, and what/how does it fail? I have a 14 6R80 so maybe should also be concerned now. Thought they were a good transmission

    Nissan throws in the towel, ending US production of NV and NV200

    I smiled when I knew I'd never have to drive an E series ever again. I drive a Transit 250 3.7 now, and while it had a long list of issues, it still out performs every E250 4.6 2v and 4 speed ever. Nissan ******** itself not offering 4x4 on those vans. Less room than MB and Ford tall vans, more...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Man I wish 93 octane was even available where I live, never mind being able to afford it. 91 is $1.12 a liter right now. That's a sweet torque bump!!

    Small cross-over SUV functional for adventuring?

    Cherokee Trailhawk, but fuel economy isn't great, and reliability isn't fantastic. But 3 wheel drive is pretty sweet, especially with a locking rear end. I also think the newer ones look good. Also expensive. Compass Trailhawk is also heavy and unreliable, but underpowered as well. We looked...

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

    For the 3rd time ever since I purchased the truck brand new, I have exceed 19 US MPG. 300 km of 110 kph not towing, and then 50km in town with light traffic. Generally the only long highway trips I take involve towing, so this is one of few occasions where several hundred highway only km were...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    The idea of dealing with a warranty claim and not having the rifle for many months on end doesn't excite me. If, when I ever get the chance, can run a variety of ammo through it and see what's going on, and still have issues, I'll just pay for a Smith to look at it. I'm still working 60 hours a...

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

    Thanks. Sounds like you have a SCAB of your own now. All you need is 1.5-2" up front and 1" rear and some larger tires, and armor, and your ahead of the game as.you have factory locker, more gears, and more power. With stock wheels you could probably run 285/75R17 and it would look better and...

    R Pod

    I'd bet money they just say the trailer was loaded past GVWR and thus axle isn't warrantied. That isn't a surprise, but is some serious **************** they are using a 3k axle and not 3500lbs. Even at 3500lbs for the axle, that leaves near nothing for margin when the trailer is a few hundred from its...

    R Pod

    I'd accept the quality of an R-Pod if it's actual sale price was about 12K Not the 25k my dealer was asking and that's two years ago now. They wouldn't budge on price even on a 100% cash sale, because they know somebody will come in and buy the heap on payments over 10+ years and they will make...

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

    Well, my "Hot Core" bag was like $99 CAD when I bought it so basically that's $50 USD. It works for the weather I backpack in, which is why I bought it. Friday night was 6 Celsius I think and with my thin fleece blanket and mid weight base layer for sleeping I was fine. Bag is rated for "-10...
