    CRV vs CX5 VS Forester (2023 models)

    oh yes..you can feel the extra 30 hp and 10ft/tq up over 4000 rpms. pretty sure I will only be running premium all summer long. Probably won't in the winter when the roads are crappy but for sure when roads are dry I will. I have been driving my wife to work because she still can't drive and I...

    CRV vs CX5 VS Forester (2023 models)

    one month in and 1100 miles and really liking this mazda. last 3 fill ups hand figured are 29, 28, and 29. the computer on the first two was showing around 25-26 mpg and the last fill up the computer was showing a tick under 29 so pretty accurate. I have been exercising the turbo and filled up...

    AEV VS OME Lift Kits

    I have had two AEV 2.5 lifts and an AEV 3.5 if you truly are going to add a bunch of weight in the future ie bumpers and winch get the 3.5 from the get go. If the OME is 1/2 price go that route. I would be surprised that with two people your camping gear does not add up to more than 170lbs. my...

    Would you live in a wedge camper full time?

    I had a full size GFC on a Ram and no way could I have lived in it full time. it would start to smell like a dump.. We did live in a jayco 195RB for 6 months while we were building our house and that was doable. Buy a small trailer so you have a shower and fridge etc.

    Gladiator Mojave vs Rubicon

    agree after owning 4 jeeps with 3.6’s a loaded gladiator would not cut it with a 3.6 Especially after slapping 37’s on it as that is the only way they look proper.

    Gladiator Mojave vs Rubicon

    yes it is. it is a pretty fun ride. they did a pretty good job of replicating the X0-1. You must be into that kind of thing as 99.9% of the world has no idea what they are :). I looked for years for a real X0-1 in my size but finally gave up and Handsome got this project going. It is actually...

    Gladiator Mojave vs Rubicon

    fortunately I get good mpg I think the 8 speed helps and also not having to drag race everyone at every stop light helps as well I have taken several long road trips. 4 times from Missoula MT to Rochester MN and 3 to Moab etc and always get 16-17mpg.

    Gladiator Mojave vs Rubicon

    I was set on a Mojave than decided on a Rubicon (I have had 4 rubicon wranglers all fairly built) because I did not want to give up the front locker and the morning I went to sign the papers I screwed up and test drove a Power wagon while I was killing some time. There is no comparison between...

    HELP me decide: GFC Topper or A.R.E. DCU

    I can also tell you 2 guys can lift and install the RSI (my buddy bought one used and we loaded it ourselves with a 3rd personguiding it on) but without an overhead crane it took 5 of us all pretty strong to get the gfc installed. the frame is pretty awesome tho. I never ran without the side...

    HELP me decide: GFC Topper or A.R.E. DCU

    2020. gfc made an ultra light roof top tent that might have weighed 135lbs but even their v2 topper is much heavier than the rsi. I have been to the gfc factory several times. great guys. everyone I dealt with told me they liked the V1 frame better. It did have some hinge issues but they were...

    CRV vs CX5 VS Forester (2023 models)

    the rhodium white is a new color for 2023 I guess. no paint pen for it yet that I can find. I really like the HUD but wish the info center was touch screen. I can't wait to get a few miles on it and fill it with premium. I am already scoping out new tires...
