Cool rigs, and your future plans sound amazing. I get the Oliver bug, but that’s a lot of money. I looked at them pretty hard, but ended up with a “small” Arctic Fox.

That is a pretty phenomenal deal. I do almost everything using my inReach over the phone interface anyway. Having that built into a phone would be awesome.

I think they're really cool, but agree that the marketing falls apart when you suggest spending that much money to create a dry bar. OJ or Chardonnay not recommended. However, if you own those particular vehicles and want to out uber the rest, it would be pretty cool to get to the end of the...

Currently in 3/4 ton, I believe the Chevy/GMC has the largest payload which is important with a truck camper. I'm open to correction on that. I recently purchased a 2022 Chevy 2500HD LT Z-71 gasser and really like it for the most part. Highway ride is good for a 3/4 ton. It did pretty well rough...

ARE offers a reinforced roof that Leer does not. Build times on ARE are quite a bit longer than Leer according to my dealer, almost as bad as RSI which is what I have on order. I have owned Leer, ARE and Snugtop. None of them have been truly weatherproof, but I haven’t noticed major quality...

I think there is a failure in general to differentiate ebikes. We recently took the plunge and bought some REI Class I ebikes to use as transportation when camping in our trailer. Rest assured, "pedal assist" means exactly that. We went some places we wouldn't have gone otherwise due to...

For what it's worth, and again noting the age of the thread, my wife's 2014 GJ Limited with air suspension and Hemi is going strong at just shy of 100k. While it is probably our most capable off-road vehicle, it mainly sees highway use. To date, we have seen no problems with the air suspension...

Slow thread, but since I just bought a gravel bike let's give it another shot. I live in the middle of MTB country near Fruita, Colorado and had a full suspension mountain bike bought to ride with my son who never got into it. I've had to many back surgeries to do much single track, and decided...

Public land usage is way up, and warm weather hasn't even hit. I worry that the traditional dig a hole method is not enough any more for those that are willing to do it -- many don't seem to be. I think we need to move towards what river rafters are required to do and pack it out. I've used a...

Yes, black enamel box with one long burner.

Over thirty years ago, I bought a Weber Go Anywhere Grill for a dollar at a garage sale. Cleaned it up and found it needed a new igniter. Weber sent me one at no charge. Used it for years and then it suffered through a roll over in my dad’s truck. A little time at a bench vice and it was back in...

We had it put in a Suburban my wife bought a few years ago. It was pretty nice stuff. No complaints for the price.

CCI MiniMags are my go to for quality .22 hunting ammo.

Big business out here. If you look real closely at my topper in the right light, you can make out “Happy Cows, Happy Life” from where vinyl lettering covered the paint. It is a classic to be sure.

A new fiberglass topper from ARE, Snugtop or Leer (the brands I've owned and recommend) will run $2,000+ depending on options. Shopping used is a really good way to go, but toppers have become very specific to truck models and years and then there is color matching. I was able to snag a used ARE...
