    Whoops! Out of Juice? ? Call AAA! ?

    It’s actually really easy to find a charger. Not as common as a gas station obviously but not difficult either. If I use a public charger it’s generally accompanied by bathroom break and quick walk around to stretch out or get some food. If I’m not traveling then it’s usually a charge while I...

    How to wire 2 12v Lifepo4 batteries such that they stay 12v and not destroyed.

    I don’t see an inverter listed. Is your air conditioner unit powered by 12v DC power? If it’s one of the Dometic RTX units those advertise a draw of 19amps in eco mode and a max of 50-58amps. Given those numbers you could expect a fully charged 400AH battery bank to last between 6-18 hours...

    Scammed

    Are you his friend? If not then why would you chose to make payment in a way meant for friends that offers no protection at all?

    I'm SOLD

    So far acceleration in ice hasn’t been an issue, no difference in tire soon from a normal vehicle. Slowing down and stopping can be a bit more dicey. Most EVs let the driver operate with only the accelerator and almost all the braking action is the electric motors regenerating power by resisting...

    I'm SOLD

    I do have one. No real off-roading yet, just some minor forest service roads. It handles well, traction is always excellent and it has the torque to crawl over anything smoothly. Suspension is decent, better than my Tacoma but not as smooth and supple as my TRX - to be expected since it is a...

    I'm SOLD

    1559lb payload on mine. Not bad for a fairly small truck.

    Vagabond Outdoors Drifter

    If they go with the typical online store these days they are just drop shipping from manufacturers and making a couple bucks without doing much work. Might be a decent way to get some cash flow for them without committing much time to that side of the business.

    Vagabond Outdoors camper patent

    Vagabond may not be around for long enough to worry about the patent given their difficulties in producing campers and communicating with customers, many of which who have made full payment over a year ago with nothing to show for it.

    Got Scammed by SAMUE

    As stated - pretty much the only use for Zelle is to send money to friends to pay for lunch. Maybe for a face to face deal in which you have your hands on the product. Never for an internet deal where you are relying on trust for the other party to ship something.

    Dedicated Starlink and mobile 4/5G thread

    I have the same question, unless it's some fancy heavy duty pivoting mount that we can't see under the dish. Mine will not function if the dish can't automatically align to find the satellites.

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    There are incontrovertible facts that must be recognized. Covid does kill people. The vaccines do help prevent this. It is a virus and constantly mutates as it spreads which has always been known and expected. In light of those facts it is a given that planned, expected or known courses of...

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    It’s sad that the issue was entirely politicized instead of just being represented in a purely healthcare and scientific way. The vaccines do help but are by no means the bulletproof solution some make it out to be.

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    It is likely accurate that there has been millions of deaths of unvaccinated people worldwide since Covid was first recognized given that there’s only been readily available vaccines for about a year.

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    Millions die every year, it’s how life works. Part of life is the freedom to make your own choices which includes getting a vaccine or not.

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    Covid in one variant or another is pretty much a given for the duration of our lives and probably the next few generations at a minimum. Get a vaccine if you want, wear a mask if you want but most importantly just get on with life and enjoy it. Other than being forced to wear a mask at work my...

    Arriving at a fair price for my 2019 Tacoma Overlander, 3300 miles

    Oof. You really went full retard on the build just to find out it won't work. Might be cheaper to get a new wife... In all seriousness though, start by selling the aftermarket stuff separately. It will be a lot easier to sell the canopy camper alone for $10k than trying to sell a Tacoma for...

    Off-road office set up

    I've used an ARB awning room in cold weather and with a Buddy heater or portable diesel furnace and it stays very comfortably warm.

    Sat phones?

    I haven't used mine in about a year but used it frequently for four years prior to that. I never ran into a time based restriction on messages. They send as quickly as you can type them and your recipient replies.
