Hey everyone, thanks for the details. I don't currently have the truck, but I'm happy to get a 1ton or even dually. I'm looking for primarily highway, but with some fire roads and snow. For those in California, something like the access to Shuteye Ridge is about as rugged of overlanding as I...
Hey folks, I've looked at (I think) all the major brands but was wondering if anyone had advice for me. Everything I've seen to date is either big enough but built like a winnebago with old style systems or modern but not big enough for me to sleep in (four wheel camper, etc).
I'm looking for...
Hey, I had some questions about the A/C so I took it in the shop and had that fully addressed. It's now been converted to r134a, has a new receiver/dryer and has no known leaks after a tracer dye leak down test. Thanks!
Hello, I'm selling one of the nicest condition westies you will find. It's the second nicest I've ever seen. I've owned the van for 3 years and put around 10k miles on it traveling around the south west. It's in well maintained and excellent shape ready for your adventures. The only reason I'm...

LSD kicking in sounds right if it's as tight as you say. Thanks!
Hello everyone, longtime reader excited to be a new poster. :)
I just picked up a 2014 FG / ECFX. The truck has 49k miles on it and I wouldn't say the previous owner took very good care of it (east coast truck).
I've only driven it about 1000 miles so far, but I wanted to ask about a few...
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone recommending it either, which is I why I asked. The way it's written, I'm not sure how else you would interpret it. :P
Anyone have any comments on using a dynamic strap as part of the winch rigging? That seems like it would add some excitement if something was to snap... Isn't one of the big advantages of a synthetic winch line that they don't stretch and thus have less dangerous failure modes?
