    Roof top tent vs ground tent

    I really like the idea of an RTT but will hold off until I decide to get a trailer. On most of our trips we will stay in an area for a day to wheel the local forest or OHV park. If I had an RTT on top of my rig I would have to setup/pack up each day while with a ground tent I just have to...

    Rodents in your Rig ?

    Wonder if it works on squirrels as well. Have not had any issues as of yet but frequently will pull into my driveway to see one sitting on top of one of my tires. Don't know if they are getting into the engine compartment or not but don't want to find out the hard way. Since I primarily only...

    Rig Names

    I am terrible at picking names so never have really done it. My rig is an H3 Alpha so I have come to just calling it Alpha.

    Thanks I do appreciate it. Try to make every mod something that is actually beneficial and not just for show or going overboard. You have a great looking Colorado. I have always liked them and would definitely consider one for my next wheeling rig if something were to happen to my H3.

    I had a great relationship with the Hummer dealership staff and they took care of so many things they shouldn't have. At the same time as the rack bracket (probably at around 12K miles) they also repaired one of my fenders under warranty which I ripped off on the trail. Definitely not a warranty...

    That bracket is junk. I bent it pretty good on a wheeling trip to TN about 5 years ago. Didn't know it until leaving the off road park and got on the road. As the front end would raise or lower the alignment would change. Was an interesting drive back to FL but my dealer replace it under...

    Welcome to the site. Apparently the Colorados have the same steering rack bracket issues we deal with in the H3. Had not heard of Mayhem Metal Works unit. I'm running the very similar unit from Outfitter Designs.

    Top Rig Mods Under $25

    I originally went with those types of LEDs as well and when testing them found they got very hot. Decided to go with LED strips instead. Need to look up the wattage of the ones I bought, that could definitely be a factor.

    Top Rig Mods Under $25

    It is a cheap simple mod that is handy. I would recommend buying some extra bungie cord though. Always comes in handy and the kit just didn't have enough for my need on this. That's why the ends aren't connected in the pic.

    New(er) fab shop

    What to talk about lack for aftermarket support :coldsweat::grinning:

    RTIC Coolers. Free shipping. Half the price of Yeti

    I wouldn't be surprised if they were tied up in a legal battle. What I found strange about the shipping dates was how different they were for two people checking within maybe a couple of hours of each other.

    Help me think about this

    That is one thing I love about my truck, taking it all the places everyone with a solid axle say I can't go with IFS. I run 35s with stock suspension (just lifted it) and locked front/rear, have pulled cable more than a few times. If you have never pulled cable you aren't pushing your truck...

    RTIC Coolers. Free shipping. Half the price of Yeti

    I just checked earlier and ship date for me was 5/20 or 5/24 depending on size.

    Help me think about this

    I could see the sport trac being a good overland rig when setup right. My wife had one a number of years ago and she really liked it.

    RTIC Coolers. Free shipping. Half the price of Yeti

    I have looked at them before and they seem to be a great value. They even had the tumblers like Yeti, I love mine. Now that I have the fridge I don't really need on but thinking about maybe getting a medium size one to replace one of the coolers in the boat.

    What does your significant other drive?

    Good to know but not a lot of need for a snow plow down here in central FL.

    What does your significant other drive?

    Bought my wife her '12 F150 SuperCrew 4X4 for Christmas '11. She absolutely loves it and I am very impressed with the ecoboost engine in these. Luckily for me she says she wants to keep it for at least 10 years.
