    Anyone For Meatless Meals While Tripping?

    Yeah, some are just terrible - generally ones that focus on trying to recreate meat textures or flavors, but others are great particularly when the actually complement and highlight the vegan ingredients. -TJ

    Subaru Forester Overland

    Agreed, if the OP is interested in an actual stick shift then that solves that whole problem. As for the CVTs themselves, it seems like lots of YouTubers and stuff have issues with them - but I have never wheeled with one, or any Subi for that matter so I have no first-hand experience. -TJ

    A cousin of mine makes a vegan chili that I actually REALLY enjoy. -TJ

    Air compressor for 35" tires

    Good call on the Morylate, I actually have their setup too and agree it's AWESOME to just air up all at once, and end up with perfectly balanced air pressures (I usually let it sit for a min or two once I close the valve and stop airing up). On full-time 4wd vehicles like my WK2 Trailhawk it's...

    Are there other competitors in the same category with a traditional automatic? -TJ

    Air compressor for 35" tires

    I just added the ARB dual to my truck which runs 37x13.5-17"s that I run at 50-55psi for the street and ~25-35psi for trails. I'll see how quickly it can air all 4 back up soon. I also have a Viair 450P that I was using previously (with 35x12.5-18" tires, same pressure ranges) and it was...

    Going back to a Full Size for my Overlanding

    Finally picked it up yesterday... so far so GREAT. The quality of WFO's work is outstanding, as is their customer service. I was mistaken, the ARB actually got tucked up behind the bedside on the passenger side (hidden, and protected by the inner wheel housing) and I have a quick-connect up in...

    Why HD vehicles should NOT be discounted as overlanding rigs strictly because of MPG...

    I'm a D'max owner and big fan of them, but I just highly, highly, HIGHLY doubt this. First, are you sure your wheels are 34.1", or are your tires around that size? Second, have you hand-calc'ed the mileage? When I deleted my '11 and still had a 34" A/T tire I could get 21-22 MPG on pure...

    If you're going to ask "what vehicle is best..."

    So, perhaps should we post some guidelines for the "which is best..." posts? -TJ

    Going back to a Full Size for my Overlanding

    Picking it up tomorrow. Here are some flex pics with the sway bars still connected and all (I'm not trying to build a rock crawler with it): -TJ

    Why HD vehicles should NOT be discounted as overlanding rigs strictly because of MPG...

    17-19 MPG freeway, hand-calculated. 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, Duramax Diesel/Allison. That was in the previous config, 4.5" lift and 35x12.5" Toyo M/Ts with stock 3.73 axle gearing... with Four Wheel Camper in-bed, CAT scale verified 9600+ lbs without passengers. We'll see how much that...

    Trash carrier option

    https://www.adventuretrailgear.com/ Adventure Trail Gear, hands down. Their chainsaw bag is AWESOME too. IMHO the prices are very fair, and the owner responds to email nearly instantly. I'm not affiliated in any way, but if you go with them mention TJ recommended them, I plan to buy more...

    GAS prices

    Enjoy keeping your head in the sand and voting Dem. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon (joke intended) to see that things across the Country, and Globe are in a far worse place than just a year ago. It doesn't take much to see that the direction places like San Francisco, LA and really all of CA...

    I love where this thread went, lol... Why am I not shocked YouTube has dozens of videos dedicated to comparing them? ;) -TJ

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    JDM meaning Japanese Domestic Market. By definition you can't buy any JDM anything in the US, and the OP is in Mississippi. That said, I know JDM is often just used to mean Japanese vehicles. What Japanese manufacturers currently offer a diesel 4x4 in the US? -TJ

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    They are not, not at all. They're basically Fiat motors, so an Italian diesel. But I don't think I implied they were Cummins. With respect to the RAM I should have clarified I was speaking about the 1500s. A RAM 2500+ will be a Cummins, not an Ecodiesel. -TJ

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    Between those I'd lean towards the GM, since I haven't seen a *ton* of issues and overheating being reported. The Ecodiesel in the RAMs seem to be pretty problematic. In the Jeeps overheating is a big issue (probably due to the smaller grill/radiator), though the RAM seems less impacted. But...

    It sounds like a Compass Trailhawk might be great for you. -TJ
