I like the idea of a hammock from a comfort standpoint - I know a lot of guys have camped with great success in hammocks with rain flys, even in very cold conditions, but I don't like the idea of being hamstrung by needing two trees or other anchor points. I love that this cot tent can be set up...

I'm very stoked. I think this will be a perfect alternative to an RTT for me and my ultra light rig.

Your S/N is epic lol.

Booyah. Got one of these bad boys on its way to my house for only $49 Canuck bucks and free shipping!. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/ozark-trail-one-person-cot-tent/6000197475712

It wasn't all that long ago, a few years now maybe? There's a YouTube video about it:

Well said. I would generally agree with that. The couple you mentioned reminds me of a couple I know - they went from London to Singapore in a $500 series Land Rover. Pretty amazing.

My biggest vehicular "oh sh**" moment happened on the freeway doing 120kph - my front U-joint on my prop shaft decided to shear off violently. There was a horrible grinding noise and a hideous vibration, and I had to get from the left lane onto the shoulder amid speeding traffic. I hit the...

Man I love those 80 series.

Mine is super easy. Everything is easily accessible in the rear. I'll probably just do it - save some weight in the back.

Yeah, my front links are very, very short, and I feel like they must limit the droop. I would save a little bit of weight with a rear sway delete too. My only worry is that my rig is my daily commuter and does a ton of freeway kms, so I wouldn't want to do anything that makes that more hazardous.

Next time I go wheeling, I might disconnect my sway bar links manually and see if I feel any difference. I feel like it would be quite a pain the butt to do it manually every time, but maybe if it works well, I might look into fabbing up some quick disconnects.

The biggest objection I see is running out of juice in the far flung wilds. What are you going to do when your battery runs dry 700 miles from civilization? Or if you get water ingress that fries your batteries or motors? We shall see.

I definitely see the value of people who overland for years or even decades all over the far flung reaches of the world. I value their experience and the wisdom they've gained from it, because I can learn a ton from them that can apply to my experience. What I don't like is the assertion that...

The argument against sway bar disconnect working on 4WIS or IFS is that you don't have the lever effect that comes with a live axle - when one wheel is pushed up, the other is automatically pushed down, and with enough articulation, into contact with the ground. This levering effect is absent in...

Transverse 4 bangers are usually very easy to work on. V6's can get really ugly though, if it's the back side of the engine that needs attention lol On the issue of pulling sway bars on independent suspension. I've done some reading which asserted it's useless because the unweighted wheels have...

I think what's going to cause you severe grief is bog holes, serious mud (like more than an inch or two deep), large rocks, or severe, rutted inclines, although you might do all right on the rutted inclines. Reasonably level forestry roads should be no serious issue for you, especially if you...

I often see this kind of thinking and criticism leveled at the RD1 CR-V in particular, which is very silly. Right from day 1, Honda never designed or intended the V to be a jeep killer - they always said the vehicle was designed to be capable of limited off road driving, but was primarily a road...

Sounds like the miracle of traction control and/or a limited slip diff in the trans axle.

Right on. I plan to mod my V and push it to its absolute limit to see what it can really do.
