    Looking for help finding the right camper

    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...

    Looks like I confused a couple folks. I'm specifically looking for a slide in or flatbad camper. Thanks!

    Looking for help finding the right camper

    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...

    1989 VW Vanagon Westfalia with 45,500 miles

    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!

    1989 VW Vanagon Westfalia with 45,500 miles

    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...

    Deadman Anchor vs Pull Pal & Synthetic Replacement Line

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to put together a minimal self recovery setup. I'll mostly be traveling without other vehicles in the desert and so I'm looking at either: https://www.deadmanoffroad.com/collections/all/products/the-complete-deadman-kit or The RW16000...

    New FG Owner with Newbie Questions

    Seems like cruise control was my issue. Looks like you can't use it while the exhaust brake is engaged, so I'll try that again in the morning. LSD kicking in sounds right if it's as tight as you say. Thanks!

    New FG Owner with Newbie Questions

    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...

    FG shaking front end while braking

    Interesting that after all the complaining by the fellow on page 1 in other threads (and this one) about EC wheels yours weren't even bent. :)

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    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

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    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?
