Dont get crazy with the tires and easy driving can return pretty decent mileage in the burbs. Father inlaw had yrs and yrs of gas up and mileage records he regularly saw 20mpg.

Use double sided tape where the rain guard us dripping. Dont use house hold silicon on your paint it will eat through and generate rust.

No doubt stated value policy. Not a big deal and really the only safe way to insure a vehicle thats not stock or is a rare bird. We do the same thing in the sailboat world. There are lots of boats worth more than their depreciated original age/condition. As such we simply set the replacement...

Cool set up. One thing did you box the battery in some way to prevent loose gear from contacting exposed terminals? Curious what you did given I'm eyeing a similar idea.

Man I wish... I have a 06 Sequoia with 80k.. Wana trade? Wife wont part with the Sequoia errrr Mini van.. Bummer

Fun times. Your brother has the rig I want. LoL I had a 80series for 9yrs loved it, moved to a Sequoia its been nice. But our dang Subaru still is queen of the big trips. Primarily due to comfort and range. I'm thinking the LB diesel Canyon, fliptop style cap, with the cooled seats would be the...

TD one thing is for sure overlanding and sailing its not the rig its the time thats the hardest thing to get. And plenty of people have amazing rigs but work like slaves to simply have them vs use them. Lots if folks have paid off low cost sticks and bricks houses and can put money into fancy rigs.

As mentioned an fwc owner had his dog roll out of a side window. Harness them so they stay on the floor in a bed and your ok. Free run of the camper isnt recommended.

One dog owner had his pooch take a header out a side window of his camper on the highway last yr. He said she survived, but suggested they not be left unrestrained in the camper if they ride back there. Harness and teather to keep them in their bed etc.

Fun to see people are still doing this. My buddy in college sailed around the world with his parents, brother and sister in 75. On a 55ft sailboat his dad built. The stories he has are pretty good. I built a plane with my wwII vet gramps in the 80s. Flew that thing all over the place. Then...

My dad has a 99. No joke 320,000. All orginal. Every single part is equally worn out. LOL.. I stays local does around town stuff. Prior to the 99 he had a E250 conversion van with the 351. That thing finally quit at 220,000 after being stolen and recovered. LOL That 2nd gen explorer with the 4L...

I moved on from the LC to a Sequoia. Needed more space seating for 5+.

Had both. Loved the LC. 4runner was mehh didnt keep it long. If you have passengers? Hands down LC.

Thumbs up... As long as it hauls your crap;-) thats what matters.

^ yup

Great combo. Sorta silmilar to ours. 4x6 Lifetime tent/utility trailer and 2.5 Limited OB. Almost 90,000 on it though! We typically do 21mpg trip averages with the trailer. Bikes on the car roof knocks us down into the 18mpg averages. Its been a fantastic combo. Great road machine that can get...

Wow nice set up. I like the bunk option for the kids. Some advice check out what we call "lee cloths" on racing sailboats. Done right they tuck under the bunk coushns when not used and a flush fit hook device on each side of the bunk to hang them when in use. Fancy lee cloths have pockets for...

Lol my 2.5 cvt has done just shy of 90,000 with zero issues. 1800lb boat + gear for 3yrs. And the last 3yrs two kids, dog and 1300lb 4x6 trailer. WOT is rare to zero it hauled the 1800lb 21ft racing boat at 70mph easily. Your SX has impressed me though. Built really well for its price point for...

Thumbs up! 30mpg you bet people are eyeing that combo!

I think all the smart modules detect if your system is 12v or 24 and handle the battery side as such. The solar side as long as its within the top max input limit your fine. My cheap O $30 controller does this. Its max input is 20amps then its crispy fried. But my little set up is only 2 10watt...
