That does sound pretty useful actually. now if the bronco puts in the same system as the f150 maybe we could get some healthy competition/innovation speeding up development. I hope toyota is just in super secret dev mode because they are woefully behind but could probably do this EV thing...

imwas just reading about the 4XE. Not really feeling the 25mi plug in, would rather see a hybrid. This system seems too complicated for Fiat to pull off. I keep seeing that it makes more HP than the Bronco which has me wondering if its something was was rushed to slow the bronco orders. a...

The thing with charging that people don’t take into account is that it is passive. You don’t have to baby sit it while it charges. It can be charging while you eat lunch, get groceries, or visit Old Faithful. You start from home with a full tank so that is one less stop that ICE can’t do...

How do you back out of trail with a trailer? Thats the video i want to see. I don’t think you see it very much because the risk is not worth the reward. Kills your offroad range, is hard on the truck and trailer, it’s just not that enjoyable to deal with.

Mira Mar Motor Sports is really not that over priced. I shopped them and ended up grabbing a dealer creampuff From Carlsbad and building my own but didnt think they were too out of line with pricing. They tack on maybe 1k or 2k extra for the aftermarket stuff but if you were to pay someone to...

My experience.... porta potties are great if you have a truck bed, trailer or outside place to store it. Wag bags and a seat, i have the one you posted and it works well, if you have an SUV. Both need to be used correctly or else they stink. Wag bags will smell if filled with TP and seals...

had this California lake all do ourselves for 6 days a few weeks ago. So warm it steamed at night. The known places are packed, key is to find a place that is not on youtube. This spot goes in the never share list.

A portable boat is something i have struggled with for a long time and have overlanded with them all. First off, inflatable anything pretty much sucks performance wise and is less than ideal in a camp setting. My inflatble kayak with a frame still sucked to paddle long distances, bad...

I pretty much agree that pure electric is probably not practical for what you described. The issue is really charge times, range is similar to ICE. The Rivian PU will have space for an extra battery that your can rent or buy, supposedly. If you can plug in at the ski resort, work, home and...

I got to use these refillable bottles on a 6 day trip and wanted to give thoughts. Put them in a sealed case, stored upright except one was on its side. Filled at home with the flame king fill kit. Went from sea level to 7000ft. Opened the case and strong smell of propane, no smell outside...

Got my 470 dirty for the first time after upgrades with a trip into the Sierra. Can’t believe how smooth and rattle free a 12yo rig can be, makes exploring so much more fun than my last rattle box f350. Had a lake to ourselves all week, doesn’t get any better.

The 8.2 rear end is a big positive for the 460 too. Especially if you are wheeling heavy. The 8.0 is a weak spot on the 470.

Exactly what I did. I was between the 470 and the 460 but a clean, dealer maintained 470 came up right up the street and went for it, put the savings into the build. If had another 10k i would have went with a 460 for the more modern amenities but the 470 Is still pretty loaded up even by...

Its a trade off for the v8 power and longevity. That 6500lbs tow rating comes at a price. Pre-lift with the skinny 255/80 tires was getting 16-17 on the freeway. From what i have heard is under amour has little affect but bumpers do. Mpg is the big trade off for the GX but otherwise checks...

GXOR facebook is a good place to look. How to buy one right... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/a-beginners-guide-to-buying-a-used-gx470.856541/. rust Is the biggie, look in the frame where the AC dumps.

i have noticed on my 08 that mpg goes way down for short city trips when the engine is cold. Another factor is using the computer vs hand calculated with larger tires. 2”, 33” AT tires, lightly loaded, I“m around 12mpg city and at 65ish lightly loaded 15-16. Above 65 and it goes down pretty...

i didn’t realize the LRA tank was illegal. Several people are running them on the GXOR facebook group page. My understanding was just the 460 had issues in california. The titan tank is Probably a better solution anyways.

Check out their videos, i think they do use an air bed. I agree with everything else but that can be fixed in later versions. Cost is crazy though and if you look at some of their videos closely you can see pin holes around the stitching. For that cost it better last a lifetime and have a...

I want the couch just not for $500. https://gentletentusa.com/collections

I made bar for my cargo door, put LEDs in the trim with translucent red plexi for night vision. I was weary of the side opening door but now that i have it i like it.
