    Dometic PLB40 Review

    Bottom line up front: If you’re looking for a compact battery to run a fridge and charge devices for 2+ days without marrying a dual battery system to one vehicle the PLB40 is for you. Add a solar panel and some cable and you can run it as long as you care to. Negatives: Cost, won’t run an...

    T100

    Unless something changes I’ll be picking up a clean T100. It’s got a lot of highway miles but it’s super clean and has the 5VZ-FE. I’m going to keep it stock and use it for forest trips. It’s been well maintained and there are no glaring issues. Anything I should plan taking care of or be aware of?

    Truck Bed Utilization

My trusty Viair...

    JKU / JLU as a family travel vehicle

    I’m buying a new 4wd in the near future and had pretty much settled on a Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi. Really like the Ram and the convenience of the large bed. However, I recently had the opportunity to drive a JLU for a week and put 500 miles on it. To sum it up, I loved it but don’t know if the size...

    GMT400 - a love/hate relationship

    I thought I’d share my GMT400 adventure. These trucks are plentiful and cheap right now, but that won’t always be the case. Back in the beginning of 2018 it was apparent I needed a truck. We could only afford one newer vehicle so I decided to go for an early GMT400, preferably a K2500 or...
