Aluminum frames sweat my boat interior has stained teak from sweating like this also. Trust me leaks are much much more obvious. Every few years I bleach the stained area and re oil it and it looks fine again. My parents Alaskan this vintage had a saggy roof from snow loads, rough road...

Yeah I thought the same they are a hybrid tread. More AT than highway thats for sure. A muddy trip to the dump with 1800lbs of trailer changed my view on these tires. I drove right past three stuck pickups two with typical big 4x4 chunky tires on them. I think especially in the “Overland”...

Do you really need the hard core off road tires? I switched from the BFG Rugged Terrain to the more mild hybrid BFG Advantage Sports on my much heavier Sequoia and I really like them!

The Armadas are crazy cheap thats for sure. The V8 is solid and the old AT is decent. For the cheap pricing its a good value. They aren’t as roomy regarding length compared to the others.

Most battery boxes are ABS plastic. West system Gflex epoxy is designed for plastics and flexible materials. I used it to bond my Carbon Mast on my racing sail boat. Amazing stuff.

I I crossed the Pyeernees in a fiat Panda, in February during a snow storm. It was like a driving to Big Bear in a Spring snow shower. Drove all over Spain two weeks. The Panda was perfect I could go anywhere and park anywhere. Another couple in our group had a VW Golf yeah way better car but...

6? Your a white van guy in Italy. If you like trucks so much shoulda pulled the cords at 2.?

Budget seems to be a big factor which case the GM options far far more possibilities for finding a clean lower mileage deal vs the Toyota which will be expensive either way. The Expedition lower numbers so harder to find a super clean well cared for one but still possible vs Sequoia no way...

I know that DC3!!! Check this out

Never said that “quality ie materials” Toyota interior is superior to the GM. I nearly bought a 2019 denali two weeks ago the materials were still not that great. The GM twins also all have old school 60/40 split benches non sliding seats just like the Sequoia. The only difference the GM twins...

Thats why we used a trailer to carry 8 bikes and camping gear for 8 in my Gen1 Sequoia on Labor Day weekend.

There’s a reason the base lot cars are always being sold.. Save your money don’t buy another super expensive truck right before your stationed over seas. Sell the current one. Buy a used clean rig over there and if your smart one that can be brought back. And be sold for stupid money here. I...

I just spent months looking at the options. Full sized SUV rigs aren’t trail rigs thats for sure. If your shopping used the Sequoia is basically the only one with OK trail capability and more or less top trouble free reliability. But lack of rear locker means you want the newer 2generation...

I think most cases when you go from the highway hybrid M+S tires to the heavy luggy off road tire its a solid 2-3mpg highway mileage hit on most trucks. I switched back to a m+S hybrid tire after 5 yrs running a BFG off-road tire. I don’t have much interest going back to those loud heavy tires...

The easiest way to think of it is amps used vs generated. Watts aren’t really useful in this situation. Your just trying to get a figure on whats going in vs out regarding your Amp hours.

What fridge do you have? I recall that most of the typical truck fridges burn 3-4ish amps per hour. So # hours running x amps per hour used gets you rough amps burned say over night. 22amps generated in rough theory should get you roughly 5-6 hours of fridge run time. Keep in mind how your...

Im on my 3rd year with these...

My old J80 will probably be rebuilt 3 times and still doing 11-12mpg when my expedition is scrap but it doesn’t mean it was a better vehicle for my needs.

I bought a 2019 Expedition last week. Its far more luxury and unwanted bling than I wanted but its a nice rig. Its it a trail rig? Hell no. It can tow a trail rig. Lol

Or a Kenworth
