    How good are Subarus?

    Road trip machine stick with the higher load capacity Outback. The 2010-2012,'s the cvts are good but a torque converter part issue resulted in some not all having a failed torque converter which many dealers ripped off the customers claiming they needed a new cvt and charging for one when the...

    Buyer Beware - Flipped Sportsmobile for Sale

    Most states have a max limit of personal vehicles you can sell in a year as a private owner. Once you exceed that limit your required to have a dealer license. These illegal dealers are also typically selling roll back ODO cars and totaled / cleaned title cars and flood cars especially in CA.

    Revised Frontier coming in 2019

    What he said ^ not to mention Nissan has two key and badly needed re designs they are missing major market share. Leaf and Frontier are so old they are nearly giving them away to move them. Both redesign hints were big news two+ yrs ago then Nissan went silent. I think Nissan ran into trouble...

    Wow great trip! We are sort of hitting the same parks but one a summer we spent 6 days in Yellowstone this summer. Oh and I lost a bag of dog food by breaking my rear window rule.. I didn't close it via truck key at the hatch during my final walk around. Thank goodness it hit me about a mile...

    Family camping in a TC

    Lol towing a double is 2x as much effort than a single trailer. A good friend does the double haul 2-3 times a yr. It's not easy and his 2nd trailer is a 1000lb racing Catamaran, not a heavy power boat. The big issue is length it's a major undertaking once you exit the highway, unless your in...

    Ranger Raptor...

    Its all realitive. If your a v8 or high strunng v6 type thats the same type of feed back you give the Subarus too. Tough 18yrs with the 170hp Subarus has been fine plenty fast and gets it done without any drama. The 4cylinder toyota types that went Diesel canyon or colorado all seem to like the...

    Roof solar panels, go 2 50w or 100w

    This is what I was thinking. Better shade tolerance with two 50's. The commentery about wiring two vs one is just silly talk. I run two 10watt panels and I'm pretty happy with the set up.

    Ranger Raptor...

    Would Ford have a supplier for shocks like what GM has? Those special dampers on the ZR2 seem to be a really big part of the ZR2's ability to perform the way it does.

    High Efficiency Air Conditioning Units for non-generator powered campers

    Crazy amount of work. Most people who rack up a large number nights out simply head to cooler spots. Out west? Im an out west camper. At most the fantastic fans in camper rigs or low draw USB powered mini fans make up 99.99% of the off grid non generator camp cooling needs. The only AC types I...

    How much room between cabover and truck roof?

    Just depends on flex or how much rock movement the camper might have. You kinda want the smallest gap you can get away with.

    Land cruiser straight 6 vs V8?

    I know lots of old married types that hike together just fine. The husband often goes off with the boys to burn fuel on dirt machines.

    Land cruiser straight 6 vs V8?

    If trails require winches, and 1000lbs of armor I thumb a ride in a built trail joloppy trailered in or opt for atv or dirt bike. Trashing road legal vehicles on goat paths is expensive and seems to lead to closed access due to damaged watersheds these days.
