    Need recommendation for camp kitchen utensil set

    I bought the Frontrunner kit and just used it for the first time on our 4 day trip through Death valley. It replaced our pieced together kit, so it is much more compact and the canvas roll keeps everything tight. I liked it a lot, but it lacks tongs. It's not heavy weight stuff, but then again...

    Whats's the new "best battery" for an overland vehicle?

    Odyssey = Die Hard Platinum. Same case even (just a different color) and a much better price point.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Kojack - did you ever get the H2 springs? I'm looking for a part number for them. I'm getting ready to add a bunch of weight to my Av (overbed rack, RTT, fridge, etc). I saw picture (somewhere) that had the PN but I can't seem to locate it anywhere.

    2002 Tahoe "Expedition" build

    Long time no chat. Looking good and nice job on swapping the 14 bolt. I went ahead and stayed with my 10 bolt but added 4.88s and an ARB air locker. I'm going to fab a truss for it to help strengthen it a bit. Question for you on your rear springs: Which ones are you running? I just found out...

    Nice job. If you don't mind my asking, what type of double sleeping bag do you have? Are you happy with it? I've been looking for one (I'm in the market for a Howling Moon RTT also) and cannot figure out which double bag to get as my GF gets cold (while I'm pretty warm). I can always escape to...

    Hi-Lift Mounting options

    I used Smittybilt Hi-Lift Jack Mounts for a roof rack and welded the two pieces onto the outer hoop of my fabbed dual swingout bumper. Works like a charm.

    If I could fit the 1.6 I would have already IMd on that. I'm trying to go overbed on my Avalanche, so I think the 1.4 is my limit. Bummer....................

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    You know anyone who needs the GMT800 front brake rotors? I have the Power Stop Z36 Extreme Duty I just took off - they are ~1 year old (8K miles). If you know someone in need, they can have them, the calipers, and the pads for $70 (the core charge I would get back if I send them in).

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    HUGE upgrade/mod list in the works - going all in........... // Question: I have the 4x4 NFE - which came with 4.10 gears, 17" wheels, AT tires, tow package, etc. It also came with Bilsteins front and rear. I had always assumed it was the Z71 suspension package - ya know, being a North Face...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    From HenryJ The parking brake shoe is improperly installed. You need a shoe caliper to properly set the gap when installing the park brake shoes. The shoe is adjustable. With the proper gap set you will have plenty of pedal. Too much gap and the pedal can never go far enough to apply clamping...

    Wait --- there's two different fabric options? This is all that's mentioned: •380-400 GSM (equivalent to US 450 Denier or 14 oz. fabric) Polyester/cotton ripstop material.

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Today - I addressed my brakes - again. I'm the original owner of this Av and since Day 1 I have complained about the weak braking and the damn near non-existent parking brake holding power. I took it to GM multiple times under warranty and they kept telling me that everything was fine. Well over...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    It has been awhile as I've been slammed with work and traveling a lot on business. Finally got to do a few upgrades on my Avalanche though. My GF got me the Spohn Performance tubular adjustable upper and lower rear control arms for Christmas. These things are really nice and extremely well...

    When you are using the annex and not going up in the tent, can you fold the ladder up to have more room to walk around? Or, does that leave the tent too unsupported?

    Frontrunner Awning

    I've HEARD that the ARB awning is the best bang for the buck. I have seen the FR awning in their showroom, but it had the really pricey pivot on it - that allowed it to be, well - pivoted from the back to any angle all the way to side of the vehicle. Such a cool pivot, I didn't pay much...

    OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo. Do the poles come with it to use it like an awning?

    Howling moon Stargazer

    Apparently my post didn't stick. He sells Eezi-Awn, Howling Moon, 23Zero, and ARB RTTs (all on my consideration list) - he sold his Eezi-Awn and now uses a Howling Moon. Said the wood floor on the EA flexes when offroad and loosens the rivets - and they have to be redone periodically. No such...
