    Stoked about the new Gofast camper

    I think you could put both the smaller panels at the back so each person could have their own exit on their side if needed.

    How often do RRC's need head gaskets replaced

    My 3.9 has been pretty solid other than needing headgaskets. A fair amount of other supporting maintenance has been needed but the mechanical engine itself hasn't let me down.

    How often do RRC's need head gaskets replaced

    My 1990 lasted for 23 years and 130k miles before needing replacement. The previous owner's obvious lack of maintenance work probably contributed to that.

    Jump in the bed of the truck and then up into the platform sleeping area from inside.

    Anybody still carrying a Hi Lift Jack?

    I've used mine a few times, mostly to help recover other people's rigs. The wheel lift attachment is a crucial piece of equipment with the jack in my opinion. I had to help a friend recover his Silverado that sank to the frame into some melted out permafrost on a section of trail. We used a 6ft...

    OPINION: Single or dual ARB compressor

    That's the compressor designed solely for air lockers. The single piston compressor CKMA12 pushes 66lpm at 50% duty cycle and is suitable for tire inflation. I've done my 33s plenty of times and other people's 35s a few times. It will obviously be slower than the twin since it has half the air...

    SMS Text and Email via APRS using APRSdroid

    SMSGTE works great with my 710G. I set up an alias for my wife's cellphone so I'm not broadcasting her number every time I send her a message or she sends me one. It's nice to have up here where there are a lot of areas with no cell service but within range of a digipeater base station or...

    Broverlanding 3rd gen flatbed Four Wheel Camper Tacoma

    I like how you added all the stickers to increase the engine's power output. That's a clever way to make up for the 3.5's shortcomings, especially with all the added weight.

    Stoked about the new Gofast camper

    When you figure a quality reinforced aluminum cap is around $2000 and a hardshell popup tent is $2000-4000, the combined package is a reasonable price.

    TJM Pro front locker cheap

    Not affiliated, just saw a good deal, thought someone on here might want to snag a locker for $400. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tjm-168pl12/applications

    DOWNSIZED AND UPGRADED

    Are you planning to add a front bumper? 886s will give you an excessive amount of lift and a very stiff ride with no added weight on the front end.

    storing a flip-top soft RTT on edge - comments/concerns?

    I store mine on its side strapped on a cheap furniture dolly from Lowes. I don't remember what the orientation is now or what it was last winter but I haven't had any problems doing that.

    Locking Rear diff

    I don't see why you wouldn't lock the center and rear. If you're locking the rear I'm assuming you're in a low traction situation and locking the center would ensure both axles are getting power, so at least three wheels would be trying to move the vehicle.

    Range Rover Classic Upgraded Steering Parts

    Glad I could help. They're even a nice looking touch of color under there if you care. Mine looked good for a few weeks before the leaking oil pan gasket and steering box coated them in oil and grime.

    Range Rover Classic Upgraded Steering Parts

    I have the Terrafirma track rod and drag link on my RRC. They are much heavier duty and come with greasable ball joints that thread in like a normal setup, not the combination thread/clamp oem style.

    Tacoma/Tundra; Trd Pro?

    Magnuson had a teaser promo photo of a third gen Tacoma with the insinuation that it was being used to develop a supercharger. If you're worried about power the Tundra is the safe bet. Skip the TRD Pro packages and go with the TRD Off-Road if you want the electronic locking rear differential...

    Blue Sea ML-ACR Contra Switch, worth hooking up?

    I opted to not use the cabin switch for a few reasons, the main one being I just didn't want to run the wiring and find a place to put the switch. I have only needed to pop the hood once to manually connect the batteries when I killed the starting battery by leaving my lights on all day. Other...

    dual battery system

    I went with the Offgrid Engineering dual battery setup, one on each side of the engine bay. With the engine running they are tied together and the Blue Sea ML-ACR automatically isolates the batteries after the engine is turned off. I left my lights on one day at work, killed the starting battery...

    Who chopped the back off your minivan? Can't leave anything parked at trailheads anymore I guess.

    3000lb everyday towing? Tacoma

    About 11mpg towing 3500lbs of trailer and snowmachines. My truck is also lifted with a front tube bumper, sliders, roof rack, etc. Neither the truck nor trailer are aerodyanmic at that point. On downhill grades in the winter I will shift into second at times to control speed rather than using...
