I was just told to start planning our Yellow Stone trip!! Never been always wanted to see it. Rig will be our 2010 2.5 Limited Subaru OB. Tires are at the wear bars, just ordered BFG T/A Advanced Sports, basically a slightly more beefy and harder compound rubber touring tire. I put 50,000 on the...

Side note on the tall expanded metal rear trailer gate. Its a giant hit to mileage on the highway. I convinced a close friend to remove his during a trip. His mileage average jumped 4mpg and he didnt have issues holding higher speeds in big head winds. ;-) Great for around town mow and blow gigs...

Hey wanderer, that tool box do you slide it out partially when working so you can access your tools? Just curious.

The little cummings is probably running 3rd world fuel system so probably low tech, and why the numbers are lower. J80 is heavy, and draggy beast at least mine was. I think the little 2.5 Cummings would be to small. But in a light jeep that would be interesting, but costly as pointed out. I...

I have a wilco carrier. Bought it when they were still Hitchrack. Shipping adds substantial cost its a solid heavy piece of gear. I used it on my J80 so I could bring the 285 spare on road trips and still have room in the back. So basically I only used it in the summer, then the spare and the...

Temps for the ceramics is a good point. They need higher temps to give good brake performance. Drilled on a heavy expo type rig not ideal the drilled aspect can weaken the discs. Slotted I'm not sure what it would ever do beyond look different.

Our local hardware store has the rubber step pads.

I revert to oem especially if I'm having issues. It helps eliminate parts that might be contributing to a problem.

It was already a crate motor overseas. They were probably trying to encourage a US market with Nissan. But its been a long time. Cummings might be getting tired of waiting to get 2.8s off the shelf. LOL The larger 5L was co developed with Nissan so chances are it cant be sold outside of a Titan...

Its been around for yrs. Very well known engine in the marine biz. Nissan did that Frontier teaser two yrs ago with it. They mentioned a new head in that video. Chances are it had a different head because they had to de marineize it. 2yrs later Cummings is testing the market with a crate motor...

Same here. The Habitat is pushing 9k after tax and such. Looking at contractor caps also nice Aluminum high top runs about 3k. That might be more realistic unless my small side biz goes better than expected.

I asked about that thing a few months ago. Drool.........

No drawer system the 6ft LB Canyon would give me a nice spot to park my mt bike under a contractor cap or tacoma habitat. Either way a cap like that and some what clean roof line shouldn't impact mileage much. The FWC guys are reporting about 25mpg with the fwc. So 28-30 shouldn't be out of the...

I was just eyeing typical chop saws on Amazon last night. They have low rpm chop saws now set up to cut metal. I was surprised and thought cool. Read some reviews sounds like they work pretty well.

I have two kids. Thinking more and more about the Canyon slt 4dr LB diesel, paired with a tacoma habitat. Add kids pipe cot bunks on the ground floor, mom and dad get the penthouse. But also watching the pu bed drawer development. Which would be really nice for locking out of sight storage, head...

Smooth sandy track in a Subaru? Dude thats 40+mph terrain. Our rough logging roads around here tend to keep the subie checked in the high 30s. ;-)

Nice job! The owner should be really proud of it.

Grew up as a country boy horses the whole bit. We kept our SF place because we loved living there. We'll be back after the kids move out.

I spy a sun fish. Great explorer rig you dont need to paddle. ;-)

The midisized rigs are the same width as my Subaru. Actually narrower than the new Pilot, highlander etc by a smidge. The F150 is a wide rig. I just took the kids to SF yesterday. Rode BART. It took two trips around the lot to find a spot we could wedge into. I had to laugh there was one full...
