Very well put. The group with more time/experience becoming angry and lashing out at new people is spot on. No matter what is is, people tend to develop an ownership and become "protective" with what they think is theirs. They refuse to share. I believe part of this is new people not doing...

I've run both on my old hard core rigs. Full body weight on a steel skid does slip a bit easier but had a skid made from 6061 aluminum and I didn't notice much dragging. From what I understand 5052 is a bit softer, easier to work with and will probably drag more than 6061. My TJ skid was 1/4...

Old surplus duffle bag with a trash bag inside. That's been my go to for years.

I always have. But I also always use new hardware.

I spend quite a bit of time out there (Mojave) and I can say this, some parts have gotten real bad with the "SxS" crowd. Its starting to look like Ocotillo. Did you get any info on Cerra Gordo?

Again I was not defending and its obvious to me your knowledge is lacking. Wild excuses? You obviously don't understand thermodynamics (properties of heat). If you did, my over simplified wording would have not only made sense but you could have expanded on it. We mock what we don't understand...

OW. Seems I offended someone with my opinions. If you actually read my first statement I said I not only don't own one but would never own one. Second, don't confuse an analysis for defending. I don't know who this U-Tuber is but based on what I see on that one video, he not only...

SO... What Battleborn is saying is, If you move too much current, they installed a safety feature to keep your battery from igniting? Sound about right? These customers are pissed because this safety feature has engaged when they moved too much current? My first question here is, "did the...

Lets not forget the "Samsung" phone and laptop debacle. I agree with grub for mounting location. I would love to fit my batteries in the trailer. They sit in the box on the tongue. One of my buddies lost his travel trailer to a lithium fire. Parked outside in an Arizona heat wave. Temps inside...

I'm not going to bash battle born for that. The video shows they double nutted the connection. Maybe a shake washer under it would have been a good thing. Like anything, it takes time to find the flaws. What made me sad was, the guy who did the video didn't analyze the issue, he just pointed out...

This combo is what I ended up with also. I have mine mounted to my vehicle for driving. Most of the time I keep the Starlink on standby mode which gives me cell, texting, e-mail and mapping needs. To me, this combo is like when I bought my first fridge. Never going back to last generation of...

Everything has a place where it works best. Those look like they would work best in snow/ice or shallow non sticky mud. In my area I have sand and very sticky slick mud. In both situations i need to get on top and get some momentum. I also have rocks, that device and traction boards wont work...

I did the same with mine, just open it up when I can and dry it out. Never had any mildew.

Shouldn't this be in the for sale section?

Is that over near Holcomb ranch? If so I was just there a few weeks ago. Three years ago, if you didn't get there early friday you couldn't get a good spot. I wonder if this means I can go back to calling it off-road camping again?
