    Pickup VS SUV

    I know I have thought about an Excursion build several times but come to my senses when I start adding up the to do list. It would be easy to live out of one of those for a while with room to spare!

    Power Wagon Registry

    Thinking of a used PW 2005 - 2010 anything I should be looking for? I have noticed that some have the factory sliders and some don't personally I'd really like the factory sliders! Am I missing anything else? Are the changes made in 2014 worth financing? - Thanks!

    Pickup VS SUV

    This is a question that I have asked my self a lot lately. I have owned both but only ever used an SUV for overloading since I like sleeping in the rig. But with some of the awesome solutions available that is becoming less of an issue (RTTs, Bed Solutions, Toppers, Light Campers, ETC). I...

    Looking for a rig

    I'd vote for the Ford Excursion stay away from the 6.0L diesels unless you know what you are doing and how to fix their issues i.e. bulletproof them. Solid front axle, several engine choices lots of space. Here is a write up from another site...

    #4092 rig on a need of help!

    Doubt engine code has anything to do with your tires unless it happen to be caused by pushing the engine harder. Stock gearing with 35s and stock gearing is not going to be fun. If you want to have your speedo closer and your power / torque curve closer to stock you are going to need to regear...

    Gas vs Diesel

    Wow I'd love to see a 6.7L getting 25mpg! I'd imagine it would also require duct tape, pizza cutters at 85PSI 2WD with a standard cab hyper mile driving max 55 mph? but without tire modifications I would need to see to believe! I have owned a few cummins, 1 international 444 and one 6.6L...

    In the Market for a New Vehicle

    As I am sure you are already figuring out there is a compromise to any choice. Subaru: Yes you are going to miss your manual? Maybe if you feel that strongly about it get a Crosstrek still available with a manual. There are a lot of aftermarket support if you want to lift it, armor, racks...

    Sway bars or no sway bars?

    I agree the best of both worlds is to use quick disconnects. Many of use spend a lot more miles on pavement then dirt and the possible situations you can run into on pavement which sways can keep your truck under control. With that said it really does depend on the rig, driver, use of the...

    Anybody overland with a big stove?

    I've considered larger setups but only on temp basis, rig is as light weight as possible so I was considering something hitch mounted so it was easy to remove. Something like this...

    Gas vs Diesel

    For a full sized world traveler there are few diesels that I'd consider up to 1998 Cummins 12 Valve 2005 - 2006 cummins 24vlave HO both with manual transmissions. Not a fan of the diesel engines with current smog equipment we shall see how the FORD 6.7L but so far they have not been able to get...

    Overland Weight reduction

    I know my 2006 Ram 2500 Diesel just wasn't happy unless the bed was full of firewood or 1000 lbs of something!

    Overland Weight reduction

    I have also decided to re-shoe the rig with 33s 255/85-16 for that reason plus don't want to re-gear.
