Dent vs crack was a big factor in my decision. My previous tent took a real beating but made it through by being soft. It a lot of abuse through its life and the cover shows it.

All it takes is a high enough saturation Of Californians to move to a state before it starts it’s metamorphosis. Just ask Idaho.

I have to agree with your phone if we are talking IH! :smile:

Gears are a much more cost effective way to gain power back after a tire size jump imho.

Top notch. Looks great.

Let me add to your confusion. Take a look at the Alpha by The Bush Company. I was going the Alu-cab direction until I found this and never looked back. Similar price point and construction. Has all the features of what your looking at plus a few more.

Well, it was a short weekend of work. I had to finally get this thing out of the shop so my guys do not have to move it in and out every day. Took care of a few small things and drove it home. At the urging of my wife I finally decided to install a license plate. Seven years ago I broke a bolt...

Another route may be your property insurance. Looks like this was at your shop? Just a thought.

Evidently you are not fluent in sarcasm. Let me help you: sar·casm (ˈsärˌkazəm) noun the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. It's like a second language to me. Hopefully this help a bit. If not I am not sure what to tell ya. This post is sliding a bit sideways. To get us back on...

Don’t worry. It will be better as soon as we defund our police!

Got these cool load bars installed on top of the tent. Not sure what I am hauling up here but I am sure they will get used at some point. Several things went a bit sideways on me today. First was light bars. The two curved bars I have are wider than the tent really wants. The light bracket...

Progress today was not quite as much as I wanted it to be but all major components are back on. The Audi pickup did get emptied today even if everything didn’t get installed. Not pictured is the hi lift, shovel and various other stuff on the floor in the back seat. Also added the wife and the...

Thanks, Scott. I can’t believe how much stuff has been done to this rig over the years. I have never really thought of it as “super built out”. There are many far beyond this one. It’s also crazy how much work we will do to make things marginally “better”. I spent an entire day to end up at...

Today, I attempt to conquer this plus all the stuff in the Audi that never got unloaded yesterday.

So I ended the day pretty much where I started plus the struts on the tent. After struggling with struts for a few minutes I texted Rex over at Midguard. Impatience got the best of me and I went to working and missed his call back to me. I got the struts pretty well figured then called Rex back...

Decided to load up parts for tomorrow, tonight. I forget I no longer have a pickup and have to purposely schedule taking one from the shop. I did however find out the Audi is close enough. Lights, antennas, spare tire, high lift, various other crap. My son always looks at me like I’m crazy when...

At least put up a description of the stuff. Only so many places to off it. Especially the tent. Sad thing is that I’d bet it was “ordered” and had a home before it ever came off your rig. Good luck.

Well, Rex at Midguard was top notch this morning confirming that I am indeed only about as smart as I look! Turns out the missing components are somewhere inside of the tent. I was far to busy to mess with it today so I will go on the hunt tomorrow. If you are in the market for gear give...

While wrestling with the new beast of a tent the wife mad a comment about how much more she liked the fact that this tent is fully on the rack. She was never comfortable with the ARB Simpson flipping over the side. She also mentioned that she liked the look of this new tent more as well. The...
