    1st time making this, turned out fabulous.

    Yes, but I got a bunch of different kinds of olives. Some stuffed with garlic, some with peppers, kalamata olives, mozzarella balls, feta cheese. But yes, you could certainly use that.

    1st time making this, turned out fabulous.

    I just made a meal that hit about 9.5 out of 10, & could be easily made at camp. Angle hair pasta. Sauteed onion & garlic. Crispy onion & chili oil - store bought. Your favorite olive/motz/feta mix from the olive bar at supermarket. Francisco Ranaldies sweet basil pasta sauce. All I did...

    re-charging a big power station while driving

    I would look into the Bluetti. The reason I say that is I think I read that 1 model is capable of charging from 0 to 80% in 45 minutes and IIRC, is capable of 1200 watts solar and 120v simultaneously, which is why it can go from 0 to 80% so quickly. That's the thing about power stations, they...

    Schutt Industries - Xventure Owners

    Not sure what is going on but something doesn't seem right. Has it ever been in an accident ? I was doing 70 mph in our 2019 ZR2 Colorado diesel and someone passed us like we were parked on the side of the road, doing about 90 & was towing an X-Venture X2. It was not swaying at all. Is...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Good luck with your endeavor. Lots of choices and lots of pros and cons. Our kids are grown and gone. We have never had a RTT but we have our eyes on a Canopy Camper from Dirtbox Overland. We are saving up. Certainly not a done deal but it's our choice so far. Seeing one in person will either...

    Canopy Camper cap/tents

    We are hoping to make a weekend trip to Mainline Overland and actually look at a Dirtbox Overland Canopy Camper in person. But no sense until they have one in the showroom.

    12v portable fridge

    We have 2 ARB fridge/freezers. 50 & 82. Once you get one, you'll wonder how you ever got along without one. Truly liberating not being tied to ice or stores or when they close. We have had ours since 2014. Tips: DO NOT use wire less than 10 awg. & stay away from the box store 12v accessorie...

    Dirtbox Overland

    Dear Dirtbox Overland, Thanks so much for the replies. I am no expert but I do know Heavy Duty. Yours ticks all the boxes for both me & the wife. We are currently trying hard to save up for one and are trying hard to see one in person first. Life happens. Hoping to make it to a dealer and put...

    Overland Grilling

    What we have done in the past that has worked flawlessly for us and saved a lot of prep time is : Take the meat you plan to eat while camping and tenderize it with a hole poking device (tenderizer) , marinade it with your favorite stuff and vacuum seal it for a few days. Right before you...

    Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon Setups

    We have a 23' ZR2 and are also facing the age old dilemma of voiding the warranty. Starting to save up for a Dirtbox Canopy Camper and custom rear leaf springs to make it sit like stock even at max load. Also thinking of a bluetti system so I don't have to go into stock electronics but MAN are...

    LiFePo packs in unusual shapes?

    Have you given any thought to multiple 6v golf cart batteries ? You can get them in some odd sizes and they are pretty indestructible. Just a suggestion. In other news, I have seen some new 460-480 amp hour lithium batteries but they are large, and I am not sure of the weight but they have to...

    Canopy Camper cap/tents

    Thanks, I have never even heard of that brand but like you said it's not clear across the country, and is doable to drive there for a day or so. Another thing that I have noticed is that some are angled and some go straight up. I have heard people say to never buy one that is wider than the...

    Canopy Camper cap/tents

    I would like to start a civil discussion about the Canopy Camper style for midsize trucks. I am trying to educate myself on these. I have no idea what is good or bad. Or even what all is available. But arguing about brand names or personalities is NOT what I want. Not even sure that this is the...

    re-charging a big power station while driving

    Personally, I would not put anything under the hood unless absolutely necessary. Heat is the #1 reason electrical things fail. Had a friend who went through a battery isolator every year. Things I did in the past are not an option yet, that I know of. 2 trucks ago, I bought a 370 amp...

    To Pop or Not to Pop

    Everything has its pros and cons. First World problems right. We just took delivery of our 23' ZR2 in Sumitt white. This time we are strongly looking at a canopy camper style. It gives my wife & I the ability to sleep up top & have the porta toilet in the bed. Also a plus is: no ladder...

    Which side are shore power and water hookups usually, driver or passenger? Do camp spots have a standard?

    Yes, this is a concern of ours too. In NY STATE it seems to be common for drivers side. Many RV manufacturers use what ever they decide for what whatever reason. But also in NY STATE we have noticed that many Campgrounds dictate which way the camper can face and which way your vehicle can face...

    2018 Diesel Colorado timing belt swap

    We had a 2019 ZR2 diesel. Traded it in on the 2023 ZR2. The jury is still out if I actually traded up or down yet though. Old truck was getting 22-28 mpg all day long. New truck is up to 14.1, from 11. Truck is at 1400 miles now. Love the truck, hate the issues. Hate the mpg. 4/9/24 Update...
