Quick answer is no, and the second is a question of vehicle and axle.

I concur with Shizzy, 5.3Ls are plentiful, lots of options/accessories, and you wont confound anyone trying to work on it. Plus they are solid motors that run quite a long time if taken care of. If you really want more power, a 6.0 can be had for a little more and you can mate it to an HD...

I picked up a pair of vibram toe shoes for warm weather hiking a couple years ago, and they're the best gripping things I've worn. Makes sense that their winter boots would be up to par. Great timing as I need some cold weather boots!

I've got an XP-1. No diesel so it works quite well for me!

SCORE! saves a lot of money for other gear!

I've kept everything for resale as well. I go through vehicles and trailers a lot, and having maintenance records is gold. but its a pain to dig through when trying to figure out when you did something, or where you bought a part.

How Long did it take you guys to build that?

And I was complaining about a few icicles!

I did the same thing when I bought a new tool box combo. brand new it looked like I had it years :smiley:

I really need to scan all my receipts, that would save a bit of searching headache.

@Scott, how many people are you cooking for? I'm looking ahead for gear, and I dig the skottle, but it will mostly be me 100%, wife 50% of the time.

Id use this as my starting platform. A couple dirt bike chalks in the back. Have a matching trailer done for campsite set up to leave me free to roam.

after playing on their site, trying to figure the cheaper way to go (who doesnt have an extra storage bag/box?) I found the shipping went up ordering the peices vs. the kit. So for $3 more I got bag.

FYI, shipping is pretty bad. From WA to IL its $42!! I'm debating getting a jack locally, that drops $60 ($50 for the jack and $10 less shipping) Sears has 8 or 12 ton bottle jacks for $40, instead of 6 ton.

I've used a come-along (3 guys two winches) to pull a wrecked dodge onto a flat bed. That was miserable, and took forever. Not too different than being bogged with the extra resistance. I also had a hand winch on a trailer to operate the metal gate/ramp. I liked it so much I put a harbor...

A lift will get you A. room for bigger tires B. more articulation (travel) if you go suspension. If you just got a set of tires, go with armor and gear. Once you're used to those, you should know what kind/height lift you want.

I like it for the ATV carrying ability. I was thinking that if you dont leave the RTT on full time, but wanted full time coverage it would be a good option. But it would almost require putting in slides. I had a camper shell, but didn't like the cargo height restriction, and the visibility cut down.

if you're thinking you'd like to tour multiple continents here is some basic info on shipping a vehicle. And you can get custom quotes like most companies. http://www.sims-waters.com/blog/cost-to-ship-car-overseas.php

safe storage is always a handy thing to have!

Amazing. Really well written. My family (wife, motherin-law, dachshund) and I did 2 years in a toy hauler camper, that all made sense. But we easily had 4 times the room you guys do!
