    Expo Vehicle MPG

    My mildly "overland" build Chinook averages around 9- 10 mpg....stinks but way better than a deep sea fishing boat or cruiser....at least that is what I tell myself at every gas station:)

    Is this the Correct Forum to Inquire About Tiger RVs?

    Anyone know any details on new Tiger coming out in October, I see they also moved manufacturing to Dawsonville, GA from Columbia, SC. A one piece molded body would be nice but probably cost prohibitive.

    HIgh-way and Light off-road tire recommendation

    Thanks all for advice, last week I had the Falken Wildpeak 235/85/16 tires installed with alignment and bearings packed. The tires replaced Goodyear Duratec that were great but I didn't need a tire as aggressive any more so I purchased the Wildpeaks which seemed like nice compromise between the...

    HIgh-way and Light off-road tire recommendation

    I have the Defenders on my 2024 JGC and really like them, I ran Nitto Grapplers for 100's of 1,000's of miles but realized I didn't need tire this aggressive on my daily driver so went with Michelin Defender, only have 20k on them but so far so good. For my Chinook I wanted a bit more aggressive...

    HIgh-way and Light off-road tire recommendation

    my rig is a dually and current size still rubs a tad so I don’t think bigger would work., plus don’t want expense of new rims.

    HIgh-way and Light off-road tire recommendation

    The Falken Wildpeak AT4 looks real promising, Cooper Discover AT3 could be good also.

    HIgh-way and Light off-road tire recommendation

    Hi, since 2018 I have had Goodyear Duratec AT tires on my lifted Chinook, the tire size is LT235/85/16, rig weighs about 9.500lbs. These are great tires both on and off-road in all conditions and held up great but due to age I am looking to replace. However, since I regularly drive 3 - 8 hours...

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    Seriously, with all the well known and documented state of RV build problems there, do you think they can even put a team together in Elkhart with true craftsman that actually care about build quality? For example, EC takes pride in wiring, not sure anyone in Elkhart can or would be motivated...

    Changed to a Cassete Toilet

    Black Tanks Matter......the Wrappon would be second. I looked into both composting and cassette and both had drawbacks that were deal killers, based on our uses/needs. Give me my porcelain water flush goddess or give me death!

    Frustrated Dealers May Succeed in Getting Corp to Reduce Ram Truck and Jeep Prices

    I just found our original window sticker to our 2004 JGC we still have, it was 2wd but had the 4.0 high output engine, cost was $30k In 2004. My how prices have risen, price doubled in 20 years. At time I could not afford both the H.O. and 4wd so got the HO as most driving was highway...

    Tarp Under Tent - Common Practice?

    Actually tents are heavy, bulky and unnecessary. Just go with a tarp, properly set up with ground cloth and it has many advantages over a tent - I did this for years.

    Frustrated Dealers May Succeed in Getting Corp to Reduce Ram Truck and Jeep Prices

    A few months ago my 2014 WK2 (330k miles) went kaput, so I immediately needed to get a new vehicle, choose a 2024 Grand Cherokee again but went with Limited as I hated the Overlands problematic air suspension system. Sticker of my 2014 WK2 Overland in 2013 was $48,985. Sticker on new 2024...

    Turning a Street Sweeper into a Overlander / BOX RV (2007 Freightliner FC80)

    Great build, are you including bathroom or just pullout toilet somewhere? I am always fascinated by people that have the skills to tackle projects like this, can I ask your background or where you picked your mechanical know-how?

    How is highway driving with a 2024 4runner TRD Off-Road

    Hi, I am looking at a 2024 Four Runner to replace JGC, I know the 4runner is awesome off-road but how is the long distance highway driving? I average 30k miles a year mostly on highway with many drives 7 - 10 hours on highway/interstate. Will these long drives get old in 4Runner. Thanks
