Probably a good idea to make your order and deposit soon to reserve a spot in line. They are out to late spring 2019 production dates right now.

Mine has been great. If you want to maintain truck functionality I don't think you will find a better camper option. The wait time is stretching out six months or more with the number of orders they have. I hadn't heard if they were starting to offer them for F150s yet either.

The stock 2nd gen rear bumper and hitch weighs about 90lbs. Depending on what style of aftermarket steel bumper you go with you might not gain much if any weight. A Pelfreybilt with integrated hitch weighs 85lbs, high clearance version with a lot more steel weighs 130lbs.

I like having a dual band radio. For friends without ham licenses I have used it to communicate with them by lending them a Baofeng HT. My dual band (710G) is set to monitor whatever GMRS frequency they want to use and transmit on a 70cm frequency that is never used around here. They transmit on...

You talk about facts but completely disregard the fact that momentum plays a huge part in penetration. Kinetic energy is nice, but kinetic energy isn’t the be all end all. A 50gr bullet from a 22-250 has far more kinetic energy than anything we’ve discussed but no one would say that’s good...

No need to be rude. Nothing in my post is made up at all. I didn’t say the BO has less energy, I said the lighter weight expanding bullet is not a good choice when maximum penetration and bone breaking force is desired. An expanding bullet is great for hunting. An expanding bullet is terrible...

I'm considering the characteristics other than energy. Bullet weight, momentum, construction and penetration are more important in this case. A lightweight expanding hunting bullet is great for a broadside heart/lung shot but a poor choice when penetration of heavy bone and muscle is the intent...

It has nothing to do with fear. Some people like to be prepared for when bad things happen. The same reason I wear a seatbelt even though I’ve never been in a wreck or carry a fire extinguisher, survival kit and medical bag in my truck and haven’t had to use any of them.

300BO is a terrible choice for bear. I’ll take a .357 or .44 with hard cast bullets all day any day over that underperforming overhyped cartridge. If you want to use an AR a 450 Bushmaster with handloaded hard cast is a far better choice. Or just carry the 12ga with Brenneke black magic slugs.

I’ve watched bears with completely destroyed hearts run 150yds after the shot. A heart shot is not going to stop an attacking bear before it is on top of you. I obviously didn’t mean shooting a bear in the foot would save you, that’s why I specified the major joints further in my post. No one...

Central nervous system and skeletal structure. A bear with a hole through heart and lungs will still kill or seriously injure you before dying. I carry 305gr hardcast in my .44 and my wife carries 180gr hardcast in her .357. The intent is for the heavy, non-deforming bullet to punch through and...

.454 only works if the user can shoot it and most can’t accurately and have any sort of speed on a follow up shot.

Any updates to this? Considering picking up a light trailer for cheap locally and playing with it a bit.

National parks should have the same carry policy as the state in which they lie. I carry in all the Parks I’ve been to since the change in policy. Buildings in the Parks are Federal buildings and carry is not permitted in them so keep it concealed if you choose to go in the visitor center or...

Not everyone. You could give me a brand new Tacoma and I'd still sell it and have the money to put in my 2nd gen. The engine is terrible and added fluff tech in the cabin does not make up for that.

Pick up a good holster and carry the 357 with HSM or Buffalo Bore bear loads on you all the time. They will work for two legged predators if need be, work well for black bear and be marginal for brown bear. Buy an 18” shotgun and Brenneke Black Magic slugs to keep around camp. Get some bear...

If you want proven reliability and don’t mind a slightly dated interior get a late model 2nd gen. If you want fancy interior gadgets and factory warranty at the cost of a weaker engine and potentially troublesome drivetrain then buy a new 3rd gen.

A legal expert on gun laws in CA must be in a constant state of frustration, anger and amazement at the utter stupidity in that state.

This looks like a good time...

The GFC is supposed to open and have the struts support a 75lb weight. If you added stronger struts it would hold more weight open but be harder to close. Not sure on the Drifter but I imagine it’s similar given the similar wedge design and gas struts to open.
