    How much light would you say is "enough"?

    I can not speak to 'max' lighting, but I find yellow lights, as low as practical are great for fog, snow, rain and just general good contrast. I modified an Oracle Lighting Skid Plate * (pn#5883-006) I had for my JT to work on my Ram. It also serves very well as a skid plate for some of my...

    Super single tire conversion dilemma yes/no?

    WOW you have to be a 'snowflake' 5 months out of the year o_O 😇 Standard tires certainly would be the best choice in your case; snow rating, availability, cost (more $ for Tim Hortons), low key look, not having to find unobtanium wheels, and so forth. I will say that a big plus of the...

    Super single tire conversion dilemma yes/no?

    Large super singles in 22.5 are super easy to get in my area (Southern Oregon), with >20 in stock at my local Les Schwab tire store. And under 2 hours to get a used 80% tire to use as a spare (from another Les Schwab). Both @Photomike and @Pacific Northwest yetti are spot on. So the only thing...

    Same here, Level 2 w/sunroof Power Wagon and I sure love those 'unnecessary option'. This has become my FTOAT (favor truck of all time), mostly due to the prior owner getting everything (suspension, 40s, AEV stuff,) all dialed in perfectly so all I had to do is enjoy it. My poor Kodiak is sure...

    1994 Nissan Atlas Camper EXE 4WD 5-Speed (w/turbo), on BaT, N.J.

    I camped next to one of these at the PNW Expo this year and it is amazing how much room they have inside. I was expecting a 'Japanese size' living space, but I am 6'4" and found it to have plenty of headroom and a very open feel. This one with an upgraded NA engine to an intercooled turbo should...

    Ex army trucks - Are they worth it?

    Good thing neoclassic kinetic art such as Casa Azul which exudes harmony, clarity, restraint, universality, and idealism are certainly exempt from man's arbitrary rules.

    2021 RAM 3500 Tradesman | AEV Prospector | FWC Grandby

    You will love the Rieco jacks. I used the 14042 (4) with my EarthCruiser GZL-300 and four of the Rieco Heavy Duty (2000 lb each) jacks with my Kodiak's 'fatpig' (4060 lb) composite camper. Awesome in both applications. And even handy for other applications where you need lifting capacity...

    C5500 (Kodiak) - Composite Expedition Build is Underway

    I like your 'rear window delete' (y) Are you planning a walkthrough or just a "we don't need no stinkin' window"?

    The Tradesman with the Power Wagon package certain can be a killer deal. All the meat and potatoes of a Power Wagon without all the 'unnecessary' options. My buddy was looking for a "stripped" Power Wagon (no such thing) and I found him a brand new 2024 Tradesman/PowerWagon in the color he...
