    Let's talk colored area lights

    So, I have a bed slide in our truck and am looking at Baja Designs S2 mini lights. Going to mount 1 on a HD homemade double extension light mount in the bed & 1 on passenger side of bed caps roof rack/basket. We do a lot of camping but I do occasionally work from truck into the evening till job...

    Fridge cover...yes or no?

    Yes. But both our ARB transit bags were free. Even if they didn't help with insulation, they would be worth it to keep your investment from getting banged up during house to vehicle or vehicle to garage trips.

    M1101 M1102 Trailer Wiring Issue

    My limited experience with led lights is that they simply do not last anywhere near the claims. I know there are many different kinds & some are supposed to be far superior to others, but I have seen many a brand new vehicle with leds out. So yeah there's that. The next thing I would check is...

    Experiences with running fridge off main car battery overnight for a few nights in a row?

    First, make sure that the 12v plug you are using has enough gauge to support the power you will be drawing. Many factory wiring is not. Our Power Wagon and our 4RUNNER would not support our 50 qt ARB fridge. I can strongly recommend the ARB 18' direct to battery wiring kit. Our 4RUNNER almost...

    Lets See Your Solar Setups

    Anyone using the Zamp 180 or 230 watt folding panels ? Do you think it could keep a good 12v deep cycle battery charged with a 50 qt ARB ? How about an 82 qt ARB ? Thanks for the input.

    This is VERY concerning to me. Loving our ZR2 Diesel so far. I have had ours loaded up to the max. Hope this doesn't happen to us. I was actually thinking as I was taking delivery & doing the walk around: "well, ain't that a dumb ass place to put an oval hole in the frame. " I guess we can...

    Diesel for overlanding- are you happy with the choice?

    Diesel's - you either like them or you don't. You either need one - or you don't. While not a full size, we have a mini duramax, our first diesel. So far we are loving it. Tows our camper great with truck loaded up too. Right at the 5000 lb limit of truck. No issues. 13 mpg towing at max on...

    And now....for something completely different....

    Necessity is the mother of invention. I guess if i lived & traveled in the middle of nowhere, where a breakdown could be life threatening, I may have a few of those along my most frequently traveled routes.

    Small full-featured hard-sided stock trailers modified for slow off-pavement trips: surprisingly rare

    This thread is right on the money. We currently have a 2016 Starcraft AR One EXTREME. We do love it. It sits up high, tows fabulous. But we just today, looked into trading it on a 2019 Starcraft Launch 16RB EXTREME. Only to find out they are no longer available & that THOR just bought out...

    2019 ZR2 Diesel

    Don't get me wrong, it will be a cool vehicle to be sure. It's rated to tow 2000 lbs more than our new ZR2, but we won't be able to afford one new. Adjusting to life at half pay is challenging as well. But we would rather adjust than to go back to work again.

    2019 ZR2 Diesel

    Yes, have camper already. Yes, that is the dry weight. Towed it already with the 2018 ZR2 diesel we had for 2 days, that the dealer let us take home & tow with. It towed it with no drama at all. I was impressed. Thought it would be constantly upshifting & downshifting, like most modern gas...

    2019 ZR2 Diesel

    The diesel & f&r lockers are the reason it's sitting in our driveway. Add the diesel to the Gladiator & it is out of our price range. Probably $60k +. We paid just shy of $20k less than that.
