    Subaru Owners Registry

    tossing this out to the Subaru owners, whats the deal with towing capacity ratings? Australia has 4400 lbs and N/A has 3500.....there are no differences in the vehicles. Goes the same for our Patriot. 2000 in N/A and 3300 lbs in Australia. You would think they would do it the other way since...

    2022 Overland Adventure Motortrend

    Yes, I use the switch to ground on the relay, then everything else works as advertised. Makes for a safer install in my mind. The ground chafes on the chasis its ground, not going to create much of a spark if any. Meanwhile, if you ran power and it chaffed, you would have an area for fire and...

    Pics of the battery carnage. I know one thing, now that she's getting power, it drives like a different rig. Shifts better, has more power, etc...

    Congrats bob, I never miss that special when it comes on MT+. For the shower, you can make a custom road shower, from ABS pipe and some fittings and mount it to your roof rack. It heats up the water in the sun being black, and just use a tire pump to pressurize it. There are some good tech how...

    Got the battery wired up correctly now, all cleaned up, new positive lug, and power going to the rear of the jeep for the wiring harness and power port. Pics to come when I feel better.

    The Autism Family Travels updated vehicle build. Take two! 2015 Jeep Patriot altitude.

    Still going back and forth with the dealer on my struts. I am starting to get impatient as we really can't drive the rig around only to work and the store. it's brutal. to make matters worse, some A$$hole decided to steal 100 liters of gas from our F150 while we were on the road and parked at...

    Regearing

    No, it won't hurt your engine but it will hurt your gas milage on the highway. For gearing you have to look at the end game for your rig. Do you want to Rawk Krawl, or do you want to travel. 2700 rpm is nearing, but not quite rawk krawl gearing for rigs. Get's you to the trail head while...

Also, You will need a Bluetooth GPS tracker in order for any mapping system to work on your PC. I have...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Yes, as far as I know the routing data will be the same no matter what layer you use off line. The layer takes up the space, not the route. I have routes on my Gaia system saved, and I just down load whatever layer I want to use into the memory card on my tablet and the route is always there.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I am trying to understand what you are asking. Maybe, will your off line route be visible on both layers? the answer to that one is yes. it will overlay on whatever mapping image you use.

    Any Gen 5 RAV4s out there?

    the wobble is due to excess angles of the CV joints in the front suspension. Happens on Patriots too. THANKFULLY, mine does not have it. but it does have a high speed shimmy. I suspect it's due to one of my wheel spacers ont being on 100 percent centered. They are buggers since they are lug...

    Any Gen 5 RAV4s out there?

    While awesome, I think that suspension is overkill for the little rav. I will refrain from recommending the RC kit until they sort out my front suspension clunking issue. If they figure that out and get it gone out of my rig, I will give that system a thumbs up for sure.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    As far as I know, you need to download both layers to use offline. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I only use Gaia on my PC's to create routes, and then on my android tablet to use routes in the rig. I have to see what I can come up with by downloading it on my iPhone and try it there to see if I can get a solution for you.
