    Anyone using an GMC AT4 or any other GM pickup for overlanding?

    Dead thread revival. Anyone making progress on their GMC rig lately? About to pull the trigger on a Sierra 1500 and other than the ExpO truck haven’t really seen too much.

    2005 Nissan Xterra VK56 Build Thread

    One of my favorite motors. I plan on going full NA on mine with cams and variable intake manifold. Good luck with the build!

    Oh, the joys of vehicle shopping....

    In the mid 2000’s we actually had a Toyota dealership stick a v6 emblem on the back of a new 4 cylinder Camry and try to send my wife home in it like we wouldn’t catch on. I wish I was joking. We stretched out having our co-signer actually sign as long as we could (3 months) and then gave the...

    Welcome to capitalism. I hope you enjoy your stay.

    $160k hot potato :( Hope it works out for the OP, and that the next buyer knows what’s what’s before going all in.

    I love overland vehicles that can do double duty at the local racetrack!

    Diesel for overlanding- are you happy with the choice?

    It would be an F350, so in this particular case 1 ton vs 1/2 ton. I’m not a big 3/4 fan. The wear n tear on a 15+yr vehicle vs a 5 year old vehicle is definitely worth considering, but I think it balances out with the dramatically different resale value. And I’d be going with an...

    Diesel for overlanding- are you happy with the choice?

    I’m currently torn between a ‘15 Titan Pro 4x gasser or a ‘01-03 7.3L PowerStroke for our next truck. It will be our main overlanding vehicle but will also serve other purposes as a secondary DD. Prices are comparable between the two ($20k), but depreciation has probably topped out on the 7.3...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    I’ve had several, personally. I’ve watched 2 installs myself. The last was on my 2012 GT500. That’s what makes my opinion somewhat valid. That’s been my point the entire time. You never even had one, you just: Saw a few setups at work 20 years ago, allegedly Have an idea how the work Have an...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    We’ve already addressed this. The offer was for you, since you’re the one bashing Ravelco and are the only one with the self-proclaimed skills to defeat this vehicle alarm “easily”. But I did admit that I would honor the offer if he wanted to take me up on it (on a professionally-installed...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    Keep calling it “easy to defeat” to make yourself feel better, it’s already been clearly proven that it is in fact quite the opposite. There is no “secret” to Ravelco. They clearly state what they do and how they do it in all of their marketing material. You just think because you “know the...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    I’ve got one, no complaints. But I didn’t expect miracles out of a $300 14” 12 gauge shotgun. Shoots pretty much the same as the 18” model 500, just with a funky handle and a little more recoil. I prefer the grip over traditional for vehicle carry, you can shoot from a much higher hand position...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    Sure, but if you’re that serious about doing it you should just put up a youtube video since you’d be the first and would make more $ that way. My comment was more intended to reveal the absurdity of describing the system as “easily defeated” Read: I don’t care enough to set up the proper...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    So you’ve never defeated one yourself, either. Got it. Just like all the other internet armchair-quarterbacks, you have an idea how the system works and you chime in with your opinion that it’s just a simple system that can be ‘easily defeated’. You still haven’t shown one instance of it being...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    Please show me once single instance of a Ravelco system being defeated. You sound like you’re familiar with the brand, so I’d love to hear why you think it’s “not exactly crap”. I have no affiliation with them, but am particularly allergic to disinformation. I actually laughed out loud at...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    I use Ravelco. Not going to stop someone from physically towing/ hauling your vehicle off, but 100% guaranteed way to prevent them from starting it.
