The XJ is one step above buckboard with one oxen pulling. The OB is actually a modern car. LOL Youll never do a road trip in a Jeep again.

Lol Grant when you have kids I predict you slow to about 1 build every 4 yrs😁 Oh the formed flip down flatbed gear boxes were brilliant! 👍 One of the top favorite build ideas you have done.

How big are you? The 1150 was a tall beast. Too tall for my weight and size. Many friends had them only the big dudes still have them. Cool bikes! But The bigger guys are the only ones to hang into them after a few yrs. As they say Size matters ha!

Vtd is a mechanical system replaced by the crazy impressive brake vectoring done today which is paired with traction monitoring and hunting logic. All the new Subarus actually get brake vectoring actions to help rotate the car when turning. Its impressive stuff. The AWD in the manual was pretty...

For a few yrs the Forester sat on the old Legacy platform and got the 2400lb rating. Prior to the 2400rating it had 1500 because it sat on the old impreza platform. So yes its true. Subaru did this when Toyota upped the Rav 4 to a v6 option and increased its load / size. So Subaru had old legacy...

I’d rather get the new Ascent. More modern rig, better awd system lower price tag on new rigs. The new explorer hasn’t been the most reliable rig and Fords track record for fixing flawed cars is pretty bad. Wife has a Ford it’s been good. But I don’t trust the company hence our huge warranty on it.

3.6 is a nice engine. Not a power house in terms of modern engines but a nicely done package. If I lived at 6000+ ft the 3.6 would be my choice. The 2.5 easily gets it done though. Realistic Load hauling ability doesn’t change between the two engine choices.

LOL Ozro must like trolleys😂

The Ebike stuff is hitting the folding bikes right now. If your thinking transportation at camp etc you might like the ebike options. Pricy as heck though.

The cowboy types in my family have the truck that haul stuff. When they arent hauling livestock, feed or some other junk they all drive cars. LOL

Im on my 2nd EJ 2.5 I don’t worry about it much. My 01 actually had the real HG issue single layer Subaru replaced it with a multi layer gasket at 62k. One day job. Litterally beat the crap out of that car for 180,000 towing sailboats etc. sold it with zero issues to a neighbor kid in 2010, he...

Toyota not Fiat😜

The First gen cvt Forester with the FB engine had oil consumption issues. Its also on a different smaller lighter derated Impreza platform. The earlier EJ powered versions sat on the OLD legacy platform with a higher load rating. Old platform was rated for 2400lb towing the new lighter impreza...

Neighbors 35yr old jeep is using a 2013 ECU and a 2013 engine. Because the 35yr old stuff was a disaster and costly to replace and still wasnt very reliable. Soo?? The Cumings 2.8 swap kit is kinda the same deal. Better reliability, cleaner, more efficient better power etc. There will be more...

Very nice! My dad had an alaskan camper when I was a kid. They havent changed much but even 40yrs ago the old camper we had was always a warm place to go on s cold night. The flatbed approach with the rear seating area and side entry really changes the usable space. Sure beats a Rock and dirty...

High quality kitchen garbage bags are tough. Dump the trash every time you see a can. The potette bags I had several times even in our old LC J80 I simply shut the loose end of the tied closed potty bag in the tailgate with the bag sitting on the bumper. Easly covered 100miles paved with no...

Last big tip. Kids that age do not stay in sleeping bags. Warm pjs and a sleep sack is king keeping little kids warm and also some what immobile at night. Extra warm blankets you can throw over them is nice to have on cold nights also. My go to back up are our thick/heavy costco beach towels, I...

Invest in a box of bandaids and first aid kit. Our rules to avoid injuries that often require stitches. No jumping off rocks and such while hiking kids want to jump off everything. They are short and its crazy how a stick can reach their face when they land on the end of it. Err yes my brother...

Ok so first off this hands down is the best bang for the Buck. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0016KV73W/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1513635818&sr=8-3&keywords=potette&dpPl=1&dpID=51YAK6sJIbL&ref=plSrch My daughter and son have spent many moments on the side of the road reading a book and...

Are you crazy? LoL When they hit teens you’ll want them in ground tents away from the general camp area anyway. Keep the bunk rig a little longer and add two ground tents to the kit. Let them set up the tents, but dont be surprised if they want to sleep in the bunks. These worked great with a...
