I looked at them early on in my search for a trailer, I ultimately discounted them as an option due to construction (who,what,where), but I believe them to be adequate, attractively priced units if they fit your needs. They are not "off road " trailers. In the end I spent 4 times as much money...

Not purposefully, no. That is in fact an accurate albeit brief description of my findings. You might suffer less sticker shock due to your current exposure. Since I still live in a place that largely meets my criteria for freedoms and fails only my temperature desires profoundly, I'm just...

I have not watched the attached video, but I am familiar with the event. Heavily bogged, lifted full size 4x4 pick up that they attempted to rececover with a similar vehicle using a severely dropped (10" or so) receiver ball mount. Due to forces imparted during the attempted recovery the...

Be prepared for sticker shock. When the Canuckistanis closed their border to the "unvaccinated" they cut off terrestrial travel to Alaska and as a matter of consequence my plan for summers. So I started looking for lower 48 options(that are cooler than TX), that have a political climate that...

When people can reliably depend on the government to take your money and give it to someone else in the name of "social safety net" then many if not most will choose to sit back and let the man do their stealing for them.

Big box stores (and most smaller stores) sell the same cheap shit, from the same place that Amazon does just at higher mark up. During the coronahokum I could order whatever I wanted from Amazon without crazed Karen asking/suggesting/demanding I participate in the insanity by wearing a mask...

That's awesome, I very nearly did the same thing. I see that you share my propensity to over-engineer / build things. Works great in stationary applications.

Winch is the top of the list. Don't ever put it in 4WD until you can't go further in 2WD and you will likely never need recovery gear

Aching for a B model Cummins.

More government is never, ever the answer. Never.

State and National Park campgrounds are very handy for an overnight stay while traveling elsewhere. Water and electric and sometimes a shower reminiscent of a prison. We met a friend in Utah a couple of weeks ago and spent 3 days in what was effectively a city park for $45 a night 50 miles...

You're experiencing this whilst there is a global(ist) full court press to encourage EV uptake. Now imagine how joyful it will be once they succeed in convincing some significant number of people to accept them and they are no longer interested in improving uptake. EV is not about your...

If you are planning on anything sticking to anything that has or has had oil in or on it you are going to want a strong de greaser/solvent. Brake Clean or similar chlorinated will work on most oils, synthetics maybe/maybe not. Potential for success in a JB Weld repair is only slightly above...

Has anyone looked at the undercarriage of a Rivian that can express general design ? Is it body on frame? Independent suspension? Are stub axles and CV joints primary design components? More important(by far) than the means of power generation is the design methods used to transfer that power...

EV's are a polarizing subject, even more so when people feel like they are being compelled (not in this thread no, that isn't happening) to utilize them by less than organic motivation. EV/ICE is that point where everyone decides what is "overlanding" to them, and whatever that is it is correct...

I'd pick up beer cans first.

I can't wait until Matt's Off Road Recovery and Trail Mater mount a 20KW diesel generator with straight exhaust so they can go rescue EV adventurers.

You need to buy some wheels and and ply ratings like D-8 E-10 F-12 are no indication of actual numbers of plies in the construction, and that rating is dependent on inflation pressure. For instance if all tires are the same size a C,D,E ply rated tire all have the same actual ply count and all...
