From someone that works for Honda... Having owned and put the i-VTM4 system to work off-road to see what the limits were I can tell you that it is quite disappointing off-road and the rear clutches overheating, which results in them fully disabling and putting you into FWD-only mode, is not...

SH-AWD is the same as the i-VTM4 system in the Pilot/Ridgeline, the only difference is that the SH-AWD system is tuned to provide better on-road performance and the i-VTM4 system is more tuned for all-around use. Neither SH-AWD nor i-VTM4 are going to provide full-lock to any rear wheel and...

Two things I would take a close look at are... Transmission AWD system Depending on where you go one or both of these could be an Achilles's heel. Low-speed off-roading with a CVT or a DCT will often times result in the transmission overheating in short order. Off-roading where there's a...

I've had fewer problems/bugs with my Android device than I have with my Apple devices, but ok...

I mean, that's not a HAM + GMRS radio, that's a 2m/70cm (144/430) dual-band radio. Yes, I'm sure you can enable the ability to transmit on both ham and GMRS bands but if that radio is sold that way out of the box then it's not FCC compliant. Whether the bands are expanded by changing software...

Other than this fellow saying that sulfur adds lubricity the video is pretty good. You would probably want to mix some Diesel Kleen in with the kerosene to bump up the lubricity or do a mix like he suggests, but other than pump wear concerns there's no downside to running kerosene except maybe...

The near-incident I had with BFG MTs was when there was light snow/slush on the pavement, the lack of siping meant the tires couldn't "bite" and it's that lack of siping that makes MTs sketchy in mixed conditions or even extreme cold (tread compound getting harder + lack of siping). If siping...

If the vehicle is a strictly off-road vehicle then MTs can work great in the deep stuff. Problem is, they suck on pavement in the wet and in light snow/ice and are generally a poor daily-driver tire (I've run MTs on multiple vehicles and almost had an incident near Tahoe with light snow on the...

I'll likely switch back to the A/T3W once my Duratracs wear out (part of me hopes they have a short life because I really haven't been impressed with them), they were and continue to be the best all-around tire I've run. Quite, capable, great wear, ride and handle really well. Glad to hear...

That's a clean setup, just don't plan on using more than one radio at a time (not just TX, but powered on and tuned to the same band as another radio that you plan to TX with). Antennas/radios that operate on the same bands should be at least 1/4 wavelength apart to avoid problems. If your...

I'm currently sitting at 88k on my truck, if my wife's Jeep ends up getting into the mix for some of our travels then that has 110k currently.

My rig is a 2017 diesel (and my wife's is a 2016 diesel), fooling around with homemade diesel with these seems like it would be an expensive experiment. We do have B5-B20 at the pump here, though, so we do run a bio blend by default. One thing that is taking off more, but I haven't seen around...

Gotcha, the roof rails can pretty much be used however you want, either bolt through them, clamp to them, etc. Really depends on if the crossbar spacing lines up with what you're wanting to mount or if you'll have to mount a mount to the bars and then mount your stuff to the mount, etc. I...

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...
