My 270 amp alt should help with the power draw. I just like the fact that it is portable, from one vehicle to another in a jiffy, water resistant carry case & has its own air tank.

Thanks for that info Duck. I absolutely HATE wasting my money, as i have no money tree in the backyard !!! LOL

Check out MTM case gard.

Or---get rid of that wife & have a happy life. LOL J/K---no hate mail please. Everyone has their comfort level. It is important to respect your partners comfort level & be realistic. The older you get, the less you will enjoy set up & take downs. I try to work smarter, not harder as i get...

My plans are this: I already have a Rigid 18v impact gun. It easily removes the lugs (135 ft lbs) on our Power Wagon. It will only tighten them to around 120-130 ft lbs though, which is perfect for me. I will carry my torque wrench when traveling. I also already have a 5 gal aux air tank that i...

My $.02, Do not fear the gear. IMHO, it is not worth the time, effort or money to go up one gear size.

I used these on our Power Wagon with excellent results. http://www.jegs.com/i/Hellwig/207/3527/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710550337&CAGPSPN=pla&gclid=CJPqrcf5t8sCFdU7gQodvhQFhw

Yes, it was an option in 2006-2008, then it stopped. We ordered ours new BECAUSE we could get the 6-speed manual trans. We had an 04 2500 QCab w/Hemi & 545RFE trans & it sucked for pulling our 10,500 lb toyhauler. Same 345hp Hemi. The G-56 made ALL the difference. It pulled our toyhauler easily...

What size impact wrench is the ticket with this set up ? 3/8" or 1/2" ? I know nothing about air impacts other than the specs forward & reverse in ft lbs.

Another vote for the Power Wagon here. We have a 2008 QCab w/G-56 6-speed manual. LOVE IT !!! Yes, it gets horrible mpg, in fact, I think my particular truck gets the worst 8-10, whether empty or loaded about the same, except on hills, where i saw 2 mpg pulling a long 20 minute hill at 6% grade...

So, what is the deal on the Toyota frames that are being replaced under warranty for rust ? Is it the Tacoma's or the Tundra's ? Asking because i took a cruise through the Toyota dealer yesterday & saw 7 brand spanking new frames & 8 rusted out frames behind the shop. When i asked, no one wanted...

Looking for input from those that have one or have used one, remember, this is the kit with the air tank inside a waterproof case. Does it work relevant to it's price ? Does it need a bigger tank to use air impact to remove tires for a roadside repair ? Is it worth the money ? Thanks for your...

And then there is this: $$$$$ http://www.toyotaofbatavia.com/new/Toyota/2016-Toyota-Tundra-batavia-f1e2dd310a0e0ae77546168a97c48745.htm

Does anyone else think that 28-31 mpg from a 2.8 turbo Duramax is dismal ? The 1500 Dodge Crew Cab Eco Diesel i drove got 28.9 mpg. That is one heavy truck compared to a Colorado. Engine is about the same size. I figured the GM would get close to 40 mpg, empty @ 55 mph.

Bottom line is this: If you are somewhat prepared for things, an emergency will become a mere inconvenience. You can take this philosophy to what ever degree you are comfortable with & can financially afford. Things people have told me that i find useful: Prepare for the worst but hope & pray...

I know this is not practical for 90% of us but i have this, the complete set up. Cot, air mattress & foam pad. It is more comfortable than my bed. No lie. I sleep longer & more sound & feel way more rested when i get up. Cabela's Outfitter XL cot Deluxe cot pad Outfitter XL sleeping I put the...

Bump........................... for updates or new news on the Xventure.

I had MANY people tell me this exact thing. I am sure glad i inquired about it before i bought mine. I know 5-6" does not seem like much, but the little extra height is worth it's weight in gold. I am SO GLAD i got the MX series with the extra height.

Thanks for the input. We have since bought a small camper, single axle with a good lift from the factory. I know, this is definitely NOT an "off-road" camper, but it fit all of our needs for now. If I ever do want a true off road trailer, I will be getting an M1102 & build it myself.

Yes, a fuse is an important safety feature. The beauty of the Anderson Power connectors are: when you need it, you plug it in. When you don't, you just unplug it. NOTHING TO FAIL, which is important when you are in the middle of BFE. lol I have a 270 amp DC Power alternator in our Power Wagon...
