Jeep owner once told his wife. "Thats what sports bras were made for" LOL he hasn't driven the jeep in a decade it sits under a pile of parts and dust in the garage. I don't advise taking his approach. Ha

For reference the LG 285 watt panels I'm putting on the house were $270 a piece and LG charges a premium price for there panels. The more I learn about this gear the more I see very over priced gear when being sold as a package. The two Renogy panels I charge my little trailer set up with are...

I run 87 in our 4.7 around town sea level. Going through the mountains I run premium it runs nicer and better power. The stainless exhaust cracking is something pilots are familiar with. Taking it easy on the engine till its warmed up generally helps avoid the cracking of the stainless exhaust...

I recall seeing one in San Francisco about 06 07 time frame brand new for about two weeks during my morning commute. Could be the same truck, I cant imagine there being very many on the west coast. It was not CA registered!!! I can promise you that much, CA the state will not register a non US...

Interesting about smitty built kit. Been trying to decide what to assemble or build thats set up like an overlander trailer but on 13in wheels and light for a Infinity Sedan to tow. Dad wants a camping rig but wants to use the G 35x as the road machine. This could beinteresting.

I came to that conclusion when we replaced my 5spd Subaru and the new 6spd manual had all sorts of odd throttle nanny stuff going on making it a dog especially on San Francisco hill starts with a load. The old 5spd cable to throttle body Subaru would just snap too and go. The new car bogged down...

Initially I would see us putting a nice clean cap on it and using it like we use the Subaru today which tows the Lifetime Tent trailer when we go camping, or no trailer on road trips to see family. Few yrs down the road I can see my self putting a flatbed FWC camper on it and it being the dad /...

A team member at work is in Latin America has one also. Its very similar body wise to the North America one we have in the states. But GM did lots of reworking of mechanicals to clean it up and quiet it down for the Soft "Americans" ;-) Ha.

Having posting issues. Agreed if a full size worked for me I'd have one already. I've been using my Subarus as trucks for yrs because I can find parking when I need to park. The colorado/canyon has my interest because I wouldn't be impacting my parking options greatly, get the range/mileage, get...

Just for ideas and giggles check out the new Tiger Moth idea the Cricket trailer designer just came up with. Its too small for the family but is an interesting spin on the smaller offroad trailer ideas. Pull out kitchen, gear stowage, and hard sided sleeping accomidations sorta a RTT alternate...

The manual is a rare thing today. I miss mine. Though given the trips I've done the past few yrs a manual would have been miserable thanks to traffic jams. The simple basick truck with key 4x4 gear is pretty much gone all the makers like boosting the profits by forcing you to the higher profit...

I like manuals if I bought a new 2016 Taco it would be the manual. If I bought a 2017 diesel canyon it would be a Auto. Different machines different engines. The small modern diesels are awesome, but their power band makes manuals tricky especially off road use. You either have nearly zero grunt...

Jeep cant make em fast enough. Toyota is simply going after the percieved "Active" life style. The 4runner and Taco are Toyotas products targeting that market. I'm not a GM guy never owned one. But the recent GMs in the family are proving to be pretty good. My Toyota hasnt been any better than...

I dont know anything about these, but might be worth checking into http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/rvd/5292849442.html

I have a snowball chances in hell of getting a Taco with wifes approval. Interior comfort would be an instant deal breaker for her. On the other hand the mileage and interior in the Diesel Canyon would be an easy sell. As for the comments about 300,000 miles? We have more Domestic brand...

Check out the Jumping Jack too. I think they were the creators of the original Life Time tent Trailer.

We just sold our family cabin on Eagle point. Grandma was one of the stock holders of the Ski resort special front row parking the whole gig. Wifes family. I made a few trips up there one winter trip. Big Bear is like a really really small and run down Tahoe. Ha ha. Snow isn't too bad they can...

I want it so I dont look like the typical soccer mom on the weekends in my Subaru!! Cool truck. Good luck some lucky bastard will buy it.

Your solar set up is just like the one I built. Same approach using the output side of the controller to avoid killing the battery. Same deal 20 amp max input or output limit. But works great. I run a small deep cycle 18amphr battery stuffed into a 50cal ammo box, with the controller and fuse...
