    Accidental BFG KO2 "DT" tire review

    I bought some BFG KO2's (load E) about a year and a half ago from Discount Tire and purchased non-"DT" KO2's, but what they put on were the "DT" version. It wasn't until a few days later that I realized this, and at that point it wasn't worth it to me to have them all changed, so I just let...

    Guys i need help!!! stupid roof rack question

    So pretty much all of the Rhino Rack stuff uses T-Slot Bolts, and most of the other new modular type racks do also. That doesn't mean you can't fit it to your rack. You could do some jury rigging with the provided hardware, OR....just buy this adapter: #31103 - Batwing Tubular Rack Bracket Kit...

    Roof Track Slot Nuts

    A really cheap way that I use because I ran into the same problem with my Rhino Rack rails is to use elevator bolts and just trim a sliver off the sides so that they slide into the rail. It's about 30 seconds of dremel work with a little cutoff wheel per bolt to trim them. The nice thing is...

    A new hope.

    I have been pleased with it. For a basic no frills option it seems to work well. My favorite suspension addition though were the Firestone airbags. Absolutely love those. Look forward to seeing your build.

    A new hope.

    Nice Nice truck man! I also have a Nissan Frontier. I went with an OME shocks front and rear and front medium duty coils, with an add-a-leaf and airbags in the rear. Gave me about 1.5" of lift all around. I use a Leer 180 topper shell with the mid height rise. I agree with you, try and...

    Almost Classic Nissan Build

    Nice! Looks great. I used to have an old Isuzu Rodeo that was a 90's model that looked really similar.

    Lumber/Ladder Rack Inspiration

    I like the expanded metal mesh idea. Would work very well basic security. Good to note on the RTT. You could make all sorts of cool mounting brackets on the roof then for mounting stuff.

    Lumber/Ladder Rack Inspiration

    I find it interesting that the sides don't angle in to fit the general contour of a vehicle. I would imagine it would look very square and bulky at the top where it will stick out over the sides. Anyways though, I think a blank canvas ladder rack would be awesome. I would do one of two...

    Roof Top Tent or Ground Tent?

    From an objective standpoint ground tents are by far the more logical choice. From a subjective standpoint RTT's are cool and I want one. Ground tent pro's: A standard decent quality dome style ground tent can be had for - depending on RTT price - about a 1/10th to a 1/20th of a RTT. They...

    Diehard battery

    As much as I dislike walking into Walmart, their Everstart batteries have always performed well. Watch the Project Farm video on YT regarding batteries and I think Everstart was the best bang for your buck. Also in the video testing was Diehard and Optima.

    Shell vs. Leitner Bed Rack

    Was speaking to a regular truck bed rack/ladder rack. Not a topper. Yes, a new topper will easily be the price of the Leitner system if not a little more.

    Shell vs. Leitner Bed Rack

    I vote camper shell. If you are going to be leaving a RTT on there then there is little sense in using a Leitner. It looks cool and lets everyone know that you OVERLAND (Bruh!), but the main draw is that you can move around and rearrange the top bars easily or even push them fully forward and...

    Recovery rope vs recovery strap

    All I can say is that I just bought a kinetic rope after binge watching this guy haul every type of vehicle under the sun out with them; big, small, slow, fast, jerking, not jerking, sand, snow, mud, towing. It seems to hold up to it all and act as an extremely versatile device.

    Cascadia 4x4 VSS (Vehicle Specific Solar) System

    That's pretty rad. A few considerations that come to my mind: Big monetary investment for an 80-100 watt panel, has the same problem as all fixed panels (poor sun angle, unable to park car in shade, exc), will get very hot due to the fact that it is adhered directly to the metal hood and thus...

    Hey there from Arizona

    Hello all, I'm from Arizona where you can always find an awesome place (and weather condition) to travel and enjoy. Really love the Southwest. I'm a pretty regular camper and roadtripper with my wife and kiddo (soon to be kids plural). I travel in a Nissan Frontier that has been moderately...
