Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Update:
I swapped to Alfa. The standard coverage that offered everything I had with USAA on the truck and my wife’s car was the exact same price, but I also have coverage for all of my current mods ($20k) and any future mods. Approx every $10k in mods coverage adds about $10 to monthly cost. I...
Maxtrax, snatch rope, tow rope, soft shackles, recovery points on the truck like a receiver hitch block, shovel, tree saver strap. Factor 55 is a good place to start. Straps and shackles won’t do much for you if you don’t have a second vehicle with you. If you are solo, a winch is basically a...
From my understanding, Rotopax cans are not UV stable and I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints that they degrade pretty quick.

If you have a single lead acid cranking battery, I’d set the temps a touch higher and set the battery protection to high. It would be fine for an overnight trip I would think, but you don’t want to let it sit like that for too long or you’ll drain the battery. A simple upgrade that would net...
I’m almost positive Patriot Campers runs 35s on their trailers in Aus. Not sure what the issue is there. I also thought you could hub match a PC to your rig so you could have the same tires/wheels all around?
Solid, but our mosquitoes will eat the netting just to come eat you. Lol.
Ultimately, it’s really hard to camp in the summer down here. Can’t gain elevation to escape the heat and humidity, can’t escape the mosquitoes. If gas wasn’t absurd, traveling to a higher elevation wouldn’t be a problem...
The Pan American to Alaska is my dream. Outside of the axel issue, have you had any other issues with the Patriot Camper? What caused the axel to break?
