    Arkansas "helped" Build not Bought

    Another poster here said the expanded sheet metal rubbed holes in his plastic cases, so he bought a rubber stall mat from a farm store. I think that cured his issues. James

    Thank you! What did you do on trail when your slipper springs fell out? How did you recover from that? James

    I recommend taking a long hard look at Dodge Rams reputation for longevity, build quality, and common problems. I don’t want to rub any Ram owners the wrong way, and I mean no disrespect, but I’ve seen a lot of Dodge issues over the years that have severely swayed my opinion of that brand... I...

    The diesel would simply add towing power for extremely large trailers such as 30+’ travel trailer and 5th wheels, heavy equipment, and heavy wake boats. My 2.0L Mitsubishi Lancer would tow my offroad trailer. Patriot Campers tows their $30k offroad trailer with a Polaris Razor. A gas truck...

    IPad Mounts

    Thought I would share my iPad Air2 mount in my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero XLS. It uses an Otterbox Defender case and stand, a piece of wood (2x6), three #12 phillips screws, and three fender washers. James

    2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.

    Beautiful TLR. Did you install a MOSFET regulator/rectifier? Those year Japanese bikes suffered from overbaked reg/recs, but upgrading to a MOSFET cures it. I had a CBR900RR that left me stranded 10 hrs from home for that problem, so that was one of the first mods I did on my Superhawk. Since...

    Building a 2014 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x in CA

    Hey nice job! There is really no replacement for OEM parts. Your Gates bracket issue reminds me why I buy all OEM Mitsubishi parts for my vehicles. The lack of power steering could have turned out real bad... Amazing how it could look so crumpled, then with a new hood and bumper it looks fine...

    Apps: iOverlander (big following overseas) Ultimate CG (campground) You can filter free spots, and there are lots of pictures. Also, Jackson, WY has some overlanding trails, and also some Class 3 whitewater rafting that would be super fun for you and the kids. James

    Fridge-brand choice and why ?

    I’d be interested to know which brands you can buy service parts for. Dometic is a major brand in the RV industry, and service parts are available. James

    Gear and Mod advice

    Probably about 25 to maintain the safety of the tire’s sidewall, unless you are in sand on the beach, then can go lower. James
