    In-Bed Tie Downs

    Has anyone modified their Northstar, Hallmark, or Bundutec pop-up camper to tie down inside the truck bed the way that FWC and Phoenix pop-ups do? Just curious what that would look like and how difficult it would be.

    Phoenix Mini Max

    Looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see a version for a full-size truck. A larger one with some more interior space, storage space, and tank capacity might be just what I've been looking for to go on my F-250. Not sure about the center support poles, though. They look a little clumsy. One of the...

    Why did you choose your specific pop-up camper?

    Not exactly looking to start a "which pop-up camper is the best one" thread, but more of a discussion of the pros and cons of the various models. Of course lots of us will buy whatever happens to be most available and/or affordable to us, but assuming you are a person who compared different...

    Poison Spyder bumpers

    Anyone have Poison Spyder stuff? I know they mostly cater to the rock crawling crowd, but I've been looking for a bumper to replace my stock JK bumpers. I like the ARB and AEV ones, but they are so damn expensive. The Poison Spyder JK Brawler full width looks promising. Good looking, and...

    Ram 2500 diesel with FWC - any concerns with payload capacity?

    So I'm in the market for a new truck, largely to put a FWC (or similar) pop-up on for trips out west. I'm looking at diesel Rams, but the 2500 shortbed Ram with the Cummins only has about a 2400# payload capacity. A FWC Hawk is 895# base weight; that can easily go up to 1200# just by adding...

    Ford or Ram?

    I'm probably no more than a few weeks away from pulling the trigger on a new crew cab, short bed 3/4 ton truck. It'll be used as my daily driver (26 mile roundtrip to work), for camping and beach trips a handful of times a year with my wife, 2 daughters and dog, and for annual-ish trips out west...

    Lower mileage or later model year?

    Assuming similar options, condition, and maintenance history, which vehicle would be you be willing to pay more for? An older 100 series - say, a 1999 or 2000, with low miles (125k, for instance)...................or a newer 100 series with higher miles, say, a 2006 with 250k miles? Just...

    Rattle from rear of JKU

    So for a couple weeks now, whenever I go over a bump with my 2015 Unlimited, I've heard this rattle coming from the rear of the Jeep. It wasn't that bad and didn't seem to be getting worse, but it was driving me nuts. Several times I've poked around in the back trying to find out what it was...

    BFG MT's in snow and ice

    Bought my JKU new back in Sept, and it came with the OEM BFG MT's that all the Rubicons have: I thought several times about replacing the MT's with KO2's, thinking maybe I'd get a mpg or so better and longer tread life with the lower rolling resistance. I'd had BFG AT's before and loved them...

    Ford Excursion and $5k To Spend: What Would You Do?

    Last April I bought a 2002 Excursion with the V10 and 103k on it. It's very clean inside and out (with the exception of a fair amount of surface rust on the undercarriage, and a few small dings here and there), and it runs and drives well. Only problems are typical, minor annoyances like the CC...

    JKU hardtop reinforcement?

    I've always used Yakima crossbars and accessories to transport my kayaks and other cargo on my various vehicles, so I'd really like to install Yakma Control Tower tracks on my JKUR's hardtop. However, such a load on the hardtop is not approved by Jeep, and looking at the construction of the...

    Does this sound like a reasonable deal on a '99 suburban?

    Hey ya'll! Been reading this forum for a few years, but this is my first real post. I hate for my first post to be a request for assistance (and a long-winded one at that) rather than a contribution of some sort, but I could really use some advice on a potential purchase and thought no one was...
