Not sure if you're looking at the Expo or Pando, but this is what the roof rack of the Expo looks like (via the OGT website gallery) and below it is the Pando. The roof racks are rated for 1,000LB max load (presumably 200LB per crossbar).

Sure, I'm not saying they're all bad, but ARB also doesn't make batwing or free-standing awnings and ARB products tend to be a lot more expensive when comparing apples to apples, some of that is differences in quality and some of that is paying for the brand. ARB also has a history of providing...

Unwashed produce tends to keep relatively well as long as it's not exposed to hot temps while stored. Farm-fresh, unwashed eggs don't require refrigeration either. Store-bought eggs will need to be refrigerated. If you have a dutch oven or something to bake with then that opens up more...

As much as I'd like to agree and believe that the China-made awnings are made to vendor specs, I've not seen that to be the case myself except for cosmetic differences (fabric colors, logos, etc). The 3 brands I listed all use the same fabric (280D), the hardware all looks the same, and they...

Thanks @SpikeMD and @ndamico, I appreciate your comments and professionalism. I'm not trying to create any drama, I've just seen these style awnings bend/break in a strong gust of wind if not properly secured so I get the excitement at the prospect of there being a stronger awning that doesn't...

Thank you for your honesty. Yes, they are freestanding for setup and teardown and for use in calm weather. The issue I have is with the claim that it is fully freestanding with no need for the legs unless the walls are attached, which is false and now you're also confirming what we've said in...

EDIT: For clarity, SpikeMD is one of the founders of Overland Pros so this thread and their posts are ads for their products. I stand by what I've said about their claims. Again, I feel like Overland Pros is misrepresenting a product clearly not developed by them. They claim the legs are...

That was going to be my next comment, I don't understand how they can be charging more than other companies for the same product. I wouldn't say 23Zero is the best, but they are well-known and would be the most likely to capitalize on brand recognition by charging more so for a lesser-known...

Hate to say it, but that seems to be misrepresented by the company. It looks like a clone of the 23Zero 180-degree with different material and it clearly has the same legs strapped to the arms like the 23Zero. Same loops. Same awning arms. Overland Pros' site even says "Includes rigid...

Sorry, but no. You cannot get 90-degrees of twist out of a standard ball coupler. The maximum is approximately 30-degrees, 1/3 of what you claim to have experienced. So, using your term, "this is just spin." A 1-7/8" ball will provide a little better max twist angle than a 2", but none of...

I haven't run one of these myself, however I've heard that running them off of kerosene instead of #2 diesel avoids a lot of problems with soot build-up and pretty much gets rid of the risk of gelling in the cold. The diesel heaters have no problem running kerosene and it burns much cleaner.

Perhaps some of the reason this debate/discussion is a bit contradictory is because we're either assuming how large of a trailer they want to build (they haven't said. Maybe a small 4x8, maybe a home-built tear-drop, etc) based on what we own or are simply sharing our experience and suggestions...

Mechanical/ride benefits of indepdent, axle-less suspension aside, that picture is a great example of axle-less suspension clearance and a great way to visualize the impact of an axle beam greatly reducing ground clearance. Just draw a straight line between the hubs in that picture, that's how...

Congrats! I still love my fenix 7, only possible complaint would be the display being too hard to see in dimly lit areas without using the backlight, which isn't a big deal and not something you'll experience with the OLED display. I'm living with my original silicone band for now, it's not...

Price...location...

Yeah, I had to visualize in my head what would be changing and realized it wouldn't be changing the compression of the spring with the load of the truck on it, only lowering it and changing at what point in the strut's travel it rests at.

Indeed, and I'm hesitant to mess with the front coilovers. The only adjustment for height is to reduce the preload and then that will make the front softer, which is already sorta-soft since the spring rate is less than the factory coils (coilovers setup for a gas Colorado/Canyon when I have a...

Alright, probably my final update on this thread. I pulled the trailer out of the garage and took it on a test loop with some roads that I know were awful with the previous shocks, some lower speed (45MPH country roads) and some freeway speed (75MPH over some rough, chunky overpasses). I'd say...

Ok, update time! Partial update, anyway, since I haven't testing towing yet. After an order snafu, I received the proper shocks today and put them on this evening (What should be a 15 minute job takes about an hour thanks to GM engineers and the location of the DEF tank). Due to my lift...

You should have an A-TRAC button, though. A locker is certainly nice to have, but A-TRAC works amazingly well on its own. Sorry to hear about the VW but glad to see you have a new platform to build out!
