    Winnebago Micro Minnie?

    Just found this thread since I am considering the purchase of a 2306 BHS with the adventure package that includes the AT tires. Do you guys think lowering the air pressure while off road would help reduce the beating up of the interior? Has anyone experimented with this?

    Anyone have a connect at Front Runner? Unresolved QC issues...

    I just got a improperly assembled QD tent mount. Called them, left a VM, they called me back next day, I sent them a picture and they shipped me a new one. Anton was his name.

    RTT bolted direct to diamondback SE

    So I have a soft shell RTT with a set of rails, and I have the front runner quick attach mounts. Does anyone see a reason that I can’t just bolt the QD mounts right to the diamondback? The RTT will be supported by the rails included with it, so why would I need another set of rails? I do plan...

    Enclosed Trailer 5x8 and mounting a roof top tent

    Look at how ladder racks are designed to attach to these types of trailers. they screw into the sidewall structure of the trailer then extend upwards over the height of the roof.

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    I just got a 3.5 last week. Going from a 2012 gas f250, this 150 is a damned rocket ship. 33”toyo open country with the 3.55 elocker rear. Just did a 700 mile round trip last weekend and the MPG average is sitting at 17, but that includes up to 93mph on the interstate, city traffic, several...

    Advice for my 1st rig: F-150 Hybrid 7.2kw ProPower + GFC?

    Well keep in mind the truck engine has to run to generate electricity. I would have solar with batteries in addition to having the on board generator. that way you have decent lighting, etc at night while the solar panels charge all day when you are out riding.

    New to me 99 Suburban: 5.7 vortec repairs

    yeah, they are $70 and you have to pull it out and re-install when you do the intake anyway. Fuel pump not firing? See if it will run on starter fluid, spray it directly into the intake, not through the mass air sensor.

    New to me 99 Suburban: 5.7 vortec repairs

    replace the distributor when you do the intake. I had a 96' with a few less miles than that started really running like crap. turned out to be the bushings in the distributor allowing the rotor to wobble around. I had to do the intake gasket on mine as well. flushed the hell out of it and went...

    Is this power inverter overkill?

    I have a 2000watt xantrex in my work truck, and a 200 amp alternator will not keep up (at idle speed) using that thing near full capacity. ie: I can not run a 12.5 amp shop vac for more than several minutes without the voltage getting down in the 10 range.

    Anyone regularly use suppressors?

    I have several cans, 5.56 and .30 cal. Outside in an open area (where you would be varmint hunting) it is perfectly comfortable to shoot both those calibers without earpro. Yes even with gas guns. I have a .300blackout 12.5" SBR AR (125 grain) only for hunting whitetail since .223 caliber is not...

    Free-Floating Smith & Wesson M&P15 5.56

    There are obviously many options. That MI rail is pretty heavy as I recall. I personally like the TROY alpha rails. As somebody already said above, get the longest rail you can. Cutting down the FSB works, but it will eventually rust where it is cut and ground (unless it is a safe queen) As...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Besides the Glock 19 or Glock 43 I am ALWAYS carrying. Depends on the destination. In state and lower theft risk (camping, etc) I pack along a YHM suppressed LMT 10.5" AR with an Aimpoint T1 Traveling out of state it is either my 3gun rifle, 16" noveske/troy/JP/PWS AR with Leupold 1.5-5. Or, a...
