    Cummins 2.8L Diesel "Repower" engine kit

    I'd love to have the 500+ ft lbs of torque in the 5.0 V-8 CTD in our 2008 Power Wagon but don't think i will ever be able to afford it. Super Charger looks better all the time.

    3.73 vs 4.10 in a 3/4 ton

    Yup, this. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We had a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 w/4.10s & auto trans & it absolutely sucked for towing our 10,500 lb Toy Hauler. Great truck but the transmissions gear ratios were all wrong for HD work. I installed a 1 ton 24 row trans cooler & a 21"x12"x1.5" engine oil cooler...

    Homemade Hilift accessories

    Hey, I have one of those !!! LOL It also works with the First Responder Hi-Lift Jack that I have. I have been meaning to cut teeth into the one you made for me but have just not got around to it yet. Nice to have options. I have used mine for some crazy things, like helping my neighbor on one...

    Arb fridge

    I got both of ours from OK4WD. I got lucky & hit the trifecta. Free shipping on both, free transit bags for both and a free remote 2 fridge monitor from ARB after a mail in rebate kind a thing. I run ours on a 120v inverter when in the Power Wagon & the factory one in the 4Runner.

    Odyssey vs. Diehard Platinum

    My 2008 Huge Die Hard Platinum Marine is still rockin as my 2nd batt on the Power Wagon. I do take it out 1 or 2 times a year & hit it with the 60 amp charger & then hook it up to the Odyssey charger & let it go through the complete cycle of all the things it does.

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    Our 82 qt ARB has also been running since the day we got it, as an overflow fridge. The 50 qt spends a lot of time in the 4Runner when we go out, shopping or whatever. It is so nice to see something you can't get around where you live (foodwise) & just buy it & put it in the ARB till you get...

    Low Profile Ice Chest

    I know you said you can't afford an ARB, but before you spend a lot of money on a cooler, you should seriously consider the ARB for the long haul. Once you have one, you will wonder why you put up with the ice & water routine & how you ever got along without one. Yes, they are that handy. We...

    Has anyone seen the Opus Campers?

    Build quality looks really good to me. It is a great idea (air inflate). Depending on where you camp, animals may be something just to consider with any tent camper.

    3/4 ton fuel economy?

    2008 Dodge Power Wagon, 5.7L Hemi, 345 hp & 375 ft lbs, 4.56 gears, G-56 manual trans. 8-10 mpg empty or towing our 2016 3500 lb camper. Don't seem to matter much. Have gotten as little as 2-3 mpg when towing our old 2005 10,500 lb Toy Hauler up long steep grades. My overhead computer is dead...

    duffel bag gear organization - how do you do it.

    Cabela's has many sizes of gear dufflel bags. The XL one fits the 8 man Alaskan Guide Geodesic Dome tent, & extra floor liner with room to spare. The sizes can be had in different colors to help identify what you store inside of them, if that helps you at all ? I like dedicated duffel bags for...

    Cool new cooking ideas from the most recent Outdoor Retailers show.

    I am an absolute fan of pre-cooking the meat before a trip. That said, we are NOT minimalists. If I had $10 for every time we camped in bad weather, or not, & a camping neighbor asked how do you prepare meals so fast in inclement weather, or not, I could take my wife to a nice restaurant & pay...

    Refridgerator pickles

    Well, the corn relish was also outstanding. I love it. Just got done trying refrigerator spicy pickled eggs. I'll get back to you all as soon as I can. I used some pickling spice, some cloves, black pepper corns, green cardimum pods, cinnamon, bay leaves, my hot pepper poweder & ground them all...

    Water Proofing

    You could always call a company, such as Undercover Truck Bed Covers, & ask if they would make one to your dimensions. You can put bikes, rack, baskets on them too.

    XV-2 Axle Rating Advice

    I absolutely agree. Especially if it is a multi purpose trailer. You could be way over weight one weekend hauling stone or sand, then way under weight when camping the next weekend. I got the pleasure (or displeasure) of watching a leaf spring on a trailer break one time while at a stone quarry...

    XV-2 Axle Rating Advice

    Upon watching their video closer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0Jkeg_LNkw , it looks as if they cryo the rubber torsion springs before installation ---(i assume, to shrink them slightly, for a rattle free fit ?). So maybe switching them out yourself would be impossible ? It is at the 1.28...

    XV-2 Axle Rating Advice

    I would ask them if the end user can order the heavier duty one, then adjust/remove 1 or 2 of the rubber torsion rods themselves, for lighter loads & less bouncing. Not sure if that is even possible after it leaves the factory but it does not hurt to ask.
