    2015 Colorado. Any plans for a review?

    They have cars in Germany right now getting 65 mpg w/3 cyl diesels. They are avail in 70 countries but not here. There is no reason why a small truck can't get 32. I test drove a Dodge eco diesel ccab 4x4 for 30 min. City & driving up to 80 mph on rural roads. I cleared the fuel mileage thing...

    slsbl77, & Markimus Thanks for the pics. Please bear with me here. Is that Goal Zero also a/the 12v battery ? If not, where are the battery/ies ? Also, have you used the arb single compressor much ? Curious how well it works. I figured i would need the arb dual compressor & an air tank for...

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    Done and done. It is in fact a 7 pin. The 4 pin is a totally separate plug in a separate location. Brake controller already installed. :)

    If i was to get the complete elec system with battery, does the battery charge from the tow vehicle while driving ? My truck has the standard 7 pin plug.

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    Can the entire 4 uprights & rack be removed from trailer ? So i could make my own hard top & bolt it on ? (My thoughts are for a 63 qt or 80 qt ARB fridge & not sure how much space (vertically in inches) i would lose with the Cargo Glide. Also love the fact that it could be used as another...

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    You are the person i need to talk to. I am an options oriented person. I like options & being able to use one item in many different configurations. I will apologize in advance for all of my questions. Can it be had with 8 x 6.5" steel rims (6" backspace on my Dodge PW rims) on the 4200 lb...

    Anyone living or have lived in there trailer?

    The first thing that comes to my mind is: you mean remotely & continuously ? If so, water would be a concern. As would food. How would you ever carry enough for a year ?

    Long time lurker with some questions about my new to me Dodge 2500

    I have a 2008 Dodge 2500 Power Wagon. Most of the same front end parts. Be prepared. Dodges have absolute crap stock front end parts. I had to do a total rebuild at 18,500 miles. I bought truck brand new, ordered it. Dealer said nothing was wrong---even though i could not keep it in my lane...

    My M1101 and M1102 Buying Experience and Build Thread

    That is an AWESOME deal right there !!! Many Power Wagon owners with 8 on 6.5" use hummer rims, have the centers machined out to fit & use them as a cool wheel on our trucks. Newer PW's may have switched to metric, not sure.

    My M1101 and M1102 Buying Experience and Build Thread

    Please, do tell, what you would change & done the first time around ??? This is a GREAT thread. I would LOVE to get a M1102 in mint condition with bars & tarp/cover also in mint condition. Most are junk here in NY State. Dented, cracked lenses, missing parts, brakes f'ed up.

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    My M1101 and M1102 Buying Experience and Build Thread

    Yes, they are the exact same trailer, but i think the difference is in the "torsion rubber" that is inserted inside the axle. There are 4 pieces for each wheel on each side. They either use 2-instead of 4 for the lighter weight rating, or they use different durometer and/or compound of the...

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    The thing that keeps me from actually getting a M1102 military surplus, is the brakes. I don't think i can register it in NY State with surge brakes. Also, where the heck would you get parts for it ? Elec brakes are my choice. I am 51 yrs old. Tic-toc. How is price ? $9999 + water tank...

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    Looking for some feedback from anyone who owns one. Thanks in advance. I know they are expensive but i really like the fact that they have elec brakes & you can get them with a 4200 lb load rating. I know the mil surplus are much cheaper but are 24v & have surge brakes. My fab skills are very...

    Boom. The 2017 Ford Raptor has landed.

    This cetainly goes for Power Wagons as well. I had to rebuild my entire front end at 18k. My dealer kept insisting that there was nothing wrong---even though i couldn't keep it in my lane when towing the camper. :Wow1: $4850 in parts & labor & it is now fine. Drives fine, tows fine.
