    Rivian does the Trans America Trail

    They must have spent extra days hanging out in hotels waiting to get charged. Or had large generator trucks meet them.

    fridge... battery..solar..questions

    ARB wiring is fine. No idea on venting requirements, my fridge lives in the back of my SUV. I guess when the doors are closed and windows are up, engine off, its not vented. Gets hot here in the summer, but not Phoenix hot.

    Gen 2.5 6G74, Timing Belt parts list

    There is no kit that includes cam/crank seals. There is some debate on if the NTN Hydraulic tensioner included in the Aisin kit (TKM003) is OEM or not. I believe it is, but not 100% certain. National and Timken seals are OE quality and available from Rock Auto.

    Am I insane for buying a used 200-series right now?

    Wait until mid 2022 if you can. Chip shortage has hampered every manufactures ability to build new vehicles and therefore all used vehicle pricing has skyrocketed. Used vehicle pricing won't stay high (relative) once the chip shortage clears up. ie: if you pay $45k now for a used LC that in...

    Stuck in 4x4

    Correct. When the vehicle is off (or no vacuum for any other reason) the front differential jackshaft clutch is in the engaged position.

    Gen 2.5 Air conditioning missing.

    Wow, a ton of work. Can be done, would be best to have a donor near by. Not a USA Truck I'd assume.

    1993 Ford Ranger Camper (Not Mine)

    Great price, hard to believe the truck only has 7k miles on it. So much over spray freshening the black bits. And mold on the camper canvas.

    Batteries for portable pack

    Grab a Group 31 Trojan or Deka AGM (Duracell). Great life. probably 100aH, The Duracell from Batteries Plus have a 4 year replacement warranty. That is going to be about it for warranty length on batteries. Like others have said - for best life any lead acid battery only likes a discharge...

    Possible Montero sport cv upgrade?

    There is a reason that there are Toyota CV replacements. They are so much weaker than Monteros (plus there are a LOT more Toyotas imported over the years). Except the LC - those are pretty good.

    One-Man RTT Mount / Dismount?

    When I had a RTT (soft sided) I shoved it up on top of my rack several time by my self. I'm short, truck was tall, it sucked every minute. Sold the tent (and that truck). Mostly sold the tent because I hated the amount of effort required closing it up on top of the truck. Damp mornings and...

    awning - NE USA

    Unpacked mine last night. It is PU coated ripstop polyester - much thicker material than I imagined. Very happy with it. Machining up a couple brackets to be able to attach it to my popup the way I want it. Well worth $99.

    awning - NE USA

    No doubt the fabric is different. ARB uses PU coated poly/cotton 300GSM and the NAPA awning uses polyester ripstop 220GSM. Different, but not sure about 1 being better than the other.
