    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    My 2008 Dodge Power Wagon has "twin sticks", meaning a manual shifted transfer case & a manual shifted G-56 transmission. Even so, it still relies on electronics to work. There is a Transfer Case Position Sensor", if it is not working properly it prevents me from using the lockers. Stock, you...

    New Ranger/Bronco SFA rumor

    The trouble with Manufacturers is: they think they know what you want, better than you do. The result is usually a day late & a dollar short. They are still offering navigation when everyone has it on their phone. No matter how good the vehicle is, they kill it with all the electronic nannies...

    Tire chains

    I hear you. I also tried to access their website with no success. I figured they must be out of business or went to a different place (such as Facebook, etc..?) to do business ? Heck, I'm lucky i can use a computer, lol, I don't do anything else. Clothier was the ONLY manufacturer to put cross...

    Diesel question....

    Thanks Malibubts, that WAS an excellent summary. I have not drank the kool-aid of the whole global warming thing but pollution is bad, I will definitely agree. Lowering pollution, waste, recycling are all good things. But I would think the majority of that type of pollution would come from...

    GovPlanet 5 ton trucks

    For the life of me, i can't figure out why the US ARMY would NOT demand the ability to lock all the axles if need be. That's what makes the Tatra, Kamaz, Unimogs, Zetros , Maz, Ural, etc... such good vehicles. When **** gets bad, the ability to have TRUE all wheel drive, can many times, make all...

    Diesel question....

    Another thing is, many people buy their vehicle, get it paid off, then want to keep it as long as possible. It would be horrible to HAVE to get rid of it, and only get reimbursed for a small portion of it's actual day to day value for the owner. $5000 wont even buy a good used car these days...

    Torn between travel trailer, popup or folding

    We also have covered the gambit of camping. 53 now, been camping since I was a kid. Went from ground tent, to tent camper, to 30' ToyHauler & just downsized to a StarCraft AR One Extreme 18 QB. We are VERY happy. Set up & take down time is VERY short. We also seriously considered an X-Venture...

    Diesel question....

    What happens to people who own the VW diesels & now the accused RAM diesels that fail the clean air smog tests ? Are they stuck with a vehicle that they can not register or get inspected & therefore can not drive ? After all, it is NOT the consumers fault that the manufacturer did that. They...

    '08 Power Wagon

    Don't panic. But you GOT to get it fixed ASAP. I would not drive it at all. Some have oblonged the bolt holes on some of the front end components by doing so. Trouble is that most of the time, there is no 1 thing that you can point to & say "see that ?, there's your problem right there." It is...

    2017 Detroit Auto Show: Ford to Bring Back Ranger Pickup, Bronco SUV

    Probably doing this because the new POTUS has already said BIG tariffs to those making stuff overseas. Prob just be what they already make & sell in other counties, just rebadged for the US market and prob no diesel either. Ford never stopped making the Ranger, just stopped making it avail in...

    Winch anchor

    Most times, these devices have or should definately have a loop on them. Before it sinks/gets pulled into the ground, hook a chain or strap to it, so you can use your vehicle or winch to remove it after your done. Most times when pulling in the opposite direction, they will come right out. We...

    Question about Warn M1200 Winch

    Meaning the hand held, wired controller ? Or on the winch itself, under the plastic cover ? Part # ? This would be of GREAT help when going to my dealer, if I had the Dodge part #. Thanks. 3rd Gen 2008 Dodge Power wagon. Thanks again.

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    I am also looking at a ZR-2, diesel, for towing our 3500 lb camper. It only has 6 lb ft less than my 08' Hemi G-56 Power Wagon. It would be nice to have 2 vehicles to tow with. Maybe i will end up owning 2 vehicles that are record setters ! lol One that gets the worst mpg ever & one that gets...

    Exterior Kitchens

    Everybody's idea of camping, camp cooking & camp eating is different. Everyones comfort zone is different while doing those things as well. I am 53 now & have been camping most of my life. From tents as a kid, to US Army pup tents while serving, to tents again once married w/children, to a...

    Who would be interested in an Overland / toy hauler trailer?

    Too little, too late for us. We had a 30' Keystone Tail Gator. Had it 10 yrs. Kids are grown & gone, so are the dirt bikes & atv's. It needed way more ground clearance. Went to a place once that had a gravel road up the side of a mountain, that got 10" of rain in a short amount of time. There...

    New power wagon owner

    Congrats on the new Wagon. 16 mpg is a 100% improvement over my ultra low geared 2008 w/G-56 manual trans. . Stock Lo range crawl ratio is 78:1. A stock Jeep Rubicon w/manual trans, 4.0:1 Lo range & 4.10's is 64:1. I may actually get better mpg w/35's. lol
