Michelle nails it. I am making some finishing touches on a few projects for our rig and we will be miles from the nearest people for at least the second part of April and first part of May. Seemed to me like the right time to get lost.

At the risk of hijacking this thread slightly, I have a relevant question (I think) about the weboost units. I recently purchased a weboost drive unit - this model...

Oh boy, now I would image that would take a bite out of things. The "biggest" thing we've towed with our KW is three atvs on a single-axle trailer - which when you think about it is a blip considering our truck is waaay way under GVWR. A full water tank adds more weight than an atv. I...

No kidding? I would assume something as small as a Rubicon wouldn't even get noticed by your rig. Interesting.

Sweet Aussie. I can tell you that if you are coming off a SMB you will find the Patagonia to be a great extravagance! We were so used to being miserly with our power and water usage we actually thought all our gauges were broken! Nothing was going down! We spent a week in it and went from...

Indeed. And I have to assume - or rather I saw it plain as day with GXV - that not all aftermarket manufacturers support their products equally. These builders likely suffer the same challenges we do as consumers and struggle to get support from some companies and get great service from...

Nothing significant enough to call out specifically. Anytime you have humans with hands assembling things something will get missed. When you add to that the fact that In many cases they are installing products from other manufacturers, stuff isn’t going to work. I've been quite vocal in the...

Yeah. We had a couple of must-haves and the first was an inordinate amount of windows. The one thing we absolutely loved about the SMB was the 360 deg view it afforded when the top was up so we were very fixated on the most and biggest windows we could fit and GXV made that work. There is no...

RAM, I may be way off base with this assessment but there appear to be 2 main categories of people that go through this process. And It's probably more pronounced with GXV since they approach it from a "customization" perspective more than say EC or ER generally do. Some people seem to...

Worth every penny you paid for it..... ;)

I picked up a pair of Orvis upland pants many, many years ago on some closeout sale rack because they were unhemmed and as a result were long enough for my inseam. I can't think off the top of my head, another piece of hunting hear that has outlasted them. I still wear them and I still...

As a contrast to Greg's (excellent) outline, our truck is a little different in that our Webasto Dual Top is located in the rear compartment - otherwise called the 'underbed storage' area and has ducts that snake up to the front cabin area. The main reason we had the heating unit installed...

Nice rig.

Its a standard ATV trailer that has been reinforced and upgraded slightly - from a suspension perspective - to be suitable for some rough territory. It's not uncommon for us to take the GXV down fairly rough roads to the point at which it becomes a point of diminishing returns to an extent, and...

Well, I don't tow a jeep but I have towed 3 place and 2 place atv trailers with zero issues down some pretty nasty roads and it worked perfectly.

I hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet, If it's a duplicate let me know and I'll take it down/point to the original. Its fun watching the build process on all sorts of trucks.

Thanks for responding. I am pretty dense, I don't think I understand still. Does the little door open up and have a screen behind it (to keep out flies)? And this is done for security reasons? Assuming the potential security threat isn't a small person so-to-speak? Thanks again and very...

I have moved away from havalon for my hunting knives (I still use them for all my trapping skinning duties- can’t be beat) Butafter having a blade break off inside a deer cavity which subsequently cut the ******** out of me while fishing around for it I switched to outdoor edge razor-pro knives for...

We have only about 7k miles but almost a hundred nights spent in the truck. We use ours (currently) for short semi-local trips to the backcountry so many weekends spent in the truck with short driving to get to/from our sites. We purposefully went "simple" and that ethos is paying off and...

Very nice dfs. How are you liking your turtle? My wife and I love our Kenworth GXV truck.
