I just can't understand why the manufacturers don't make a solution for our trucks ? So many people work from their truck and also use truck for camping/overland. People don't want to spend the money for a new truck and find out that in order to make their truck work for them, they will void...

Yup, a simple on/off switch that can handle the current/amps is your friend. Simple, easy peasy.

Something that I have done in the past is : on previous vehicles, not on our 2023 ZR2 Colorado yet, is use a 700 watt microwave to reheat previously cooked food, on inclement weather conditions days. We got asked all the time, how do we prepare dinner so quickly when the weather is horrible...

Glad you figured this out without a fire. I am no expert as I said but I almost had a fire in our brand new 2017 Toyota 4RUNNER OffRoad, due to undersized wiring and a bad 12v socket connection. I was literally seconds away, it had already melted plastic and the burns on my thumb and index...

Old thread but that's a fantastic price. I'm 62 now and absolutely love the Specialized Status 160 I bought a few years back. It's more bike than I will ever use but I love it. I can set it up soft to soak up every urban bump or stiffen it up with a little more air pressure for actual offroad...

Congratulations and enjoy ! I am still loving my Specialized Status 160. It's more bike than I will ever use but I absolutely love it and love the suspension. I can adjust it soft to soak up every urban bump or firmer for trail use. Love it.

If dealer tells you something will void your warranty, what difference does it really make ? They are telling you upfront that they are NOT going to have your back. How many people can really afford to fight city hall ? It tells me that they have such little confidence in their vehicles that...

I am not an expert nor an electrician. Having said that this is what I know. Heat is the enemy of ALL THINGS ELECTRONIC. From stereo amps to 12v refrigerators to battery chargers and dc to dc chargers. The cooler they run the longer they will last. Wire size is extremely important as well...

I am not in the financial position to make it happen right now. But I wish I could. I think that a used one is the only way we will be able to get one. We are on the east coast.

Thanks. I am severely disappointed in the build quality of our ZR2 Colorado. My original plans were to get a Dirtbox Canopy Camper or the Tune M1. But the people who have done such and actually go offroad with them have seen issues such as spot welds popping and sheetmetal ripping. I...

Well, we have a 23 ZR2 Colorado and I am in the same boat. The conclusion that I have come to is don't. I went even further and planned on front bed mounts reinforcement and rear bed side stiffeners and had a custom aluminum piece made to help stiffen the bed rails and transfer the bed rail...

Here's a twist of a question : What about putting a Canopy Style Camper for a truck on an XV-2 ? Like a Dirtbox Canopy Camper or a Tune M1 ? That way it would be enclosed yet accessible from 3 sides and a huge bed up top. Has anyone ever thought about or actually done it ?

While visiting relatives in Ohio, we stopped by WhiteFeather Meats (the bearded butchers on YouTube) and picked up some fillet mignon. OMG, the most tender I have ever had in my 62 years. Had it with sweet potatoes with brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Wife made a salad and I picked some of my...

GLWS ! This trailer has me written all over it but sadly I am not in a financial position to make it happen right now. I am a US ARMY veteran and have seen the civilian versions in person. I have climbed in them, on them and under them. They are without a doubt the most HD well built offroad...

I am certainly NOT an expert, and I have no idea why other than safety. IMHO, regardless of why, the easiest thing to do is to buy a Blue Sea on/off switch. That way you just turn it to the off position for storage and to the on position when in use. Just make sure to get one of the proper amp...

Lol, we live in Western Ny and my 82 year old Mother recently moved back here from Florida. We recently made a trip to Florida to visit relatives and my Mom said she used to love that brand of Okra and stewed tomatoes. It is not available here in WNY, so we picked her up 4 cans while we were...

Lots of great info in this thread, thanks again for it. That's why I love the interweb. I really kinda like the Salsa Stormchaser with suspension. But life keeps getting in the way right now. Also makes me wish I wouldn't have sold our 90's bikes. Had a GT Avalanche for the wife in mens, I had...

We ordered a 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab with 360 Magnum V8, 31" tires and 3.92 gears. It was a good truck except for the fuel mileage and the transmission. It got 10 mpg empty and the transmission went out at 38,000 miles and I only towed our tent trailer 4x, & it was only 3000#, truck was rated...

Planes and helicopters seem to be less safe than they used to be. People seem to not do things that they used to do well. I have never had a truck with more issues than our 2023 ZR2 Colorado. Dealer/s seem much less willing to admit/fix problems with their products. It seems like humans are...
