    Looking for a weatherproof battery status gauge for my tent trailer

    Saw this one the other day. It is made by NOCO Genius. They say it can be mounted on an ATV, so I'm guessing it's weatherproof. http://www.geniuschargers.com/GC015

    What happened to the sierra 4x4 thread from yesterday?

    I flew up to Provo to check out Moby1 about a month ago. We spent about half a day at their shop, and also visited their frame and suspension manufacture's facility. We had given Moby1 a refundable deposit to hold a production spot for an XTR, contingent on our visit. If I recall correctly...

    Tacoma seat covers?

    I'm using Marathon Seat Covers I've been using Marathon seat covers for the past 2 months. They are a bear to install. I've subjected them to several trips. They are comfortable and do an excellent job of protecting the seats from spills and dirt.

    Interest in a Hannibal awning group buy

    When are you pulling the trigger on this? I'm interested, but I need to decide which trailer I'm purchasing. Won't know that until I take a look at AT's teardrop in late November to early December. What is your deadline for order placement?

    I have a REALLY stupid Max-Coupler question...

    Max Coupler Difficult? I have a Chaser that is pretty difficult to move when loaded and off road. It typically takes me about 5 minutes to align the truck and hook up the max coupler. (one person operation with a backup camera) The hitch alignment is almost always done with the vehicle...

    Just received a similar setup from Relentless Fabrication....after being on order since February. :Wow1: I assume your bumper is 3/16" plate steel. What is the weight unloaded? (i.e. empty swing away)

    Firearms in Expedition Vehicles

    Maybe a subject for a class at Expo? Don't know how much interest there would be, but could this possibly work for a class at Expo? Maybe the class could cover transportation issues specific to overlanding, conceal or open carry, national forest regulations regarding weapons, common...

    Bigger Badder Tires with Minimal Performance Loss

    Take a look at a power curve for your engine. A larger diameter tire, in effect, gears your vehicle higher. (i.e. if you were running 2500rpm @60mph before the tire swap, and you change to a tire that is 10% larger, your new rpm's at 60mph will be 10% lower, or ~2250) You want the vehicle's...

    what happened to Sierra4x4 trailer tread.

    Sierra 4x4 thread, gone?! :lurk: Hopefully the mods aren't protecting vendor's business practices at the expense of its community members. I can't imagine this IS the case. I appreciate ALL the information and experiences shared in this community....not just the sugar coated, self promoting...

    Tent Trailer to Teardrop- Anyone made the transition?

    Thanks. The Adventureduo has written quite a bit about their transition. They sound to be very happy with the switch. I'll search for comments from Strega and Hildweller.

    Tent Trailer to Teardrop- Anyone made the transition?

    I am considering moving from an AT Chaser to a teardrop. I'm looking for real world experience, from those that have actually made the transition. Is less trail capabilty worth the extra comfort and setup conveinence of the teardrop? What's the biggest advantage, disadvantage, and/or...

    Aluminess - 2012 Tacoma Bumper Available

    Pictures of the rear bumper? What, no pics of the rear bumper? Do you use the stock, rear hitch? I assume the rear is aluminum, correct? I like the looks of the front bumper. If I hadn't already placed my body armor order with another vendor, that front bumper would definitley be in the...
