    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    I may have thought the M/S was more of a monster mudder I guess. I looked a my Disco 1 today and realized that it has a Defender LTX M/S on as a spare. It actually looks just about the same as the AT2, just doesn't have the load capacity of the AT2.

    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    The other reason for the AT2 is that's about the only choice for my truck. The load rating is higher for the AT2 and since it is a tonner that's what I kind of need. They have worked well like I mentioned before. I looked at the Michelin configurator and there was the AT2 and I don't recall the...

    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    I live in empty Delaware. It's usually a 3+ hour drive to find any gravel forest roads at best. Given the fact that the AT are usually quieter than MS or MT I went for the more highway tire. Gotta make the drive to the trailheads which is 95% of the time on the tires. They came on the truck and...

    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    Just forked out the money for another set of LTX AT2. Hope they last as long as the last. I was at 83K+. Probably could have gone another 2K but am going to travel a bit this summer. I just wanted to have a little extra tread to explore with. Not 1 flat with that set and didn't get stuck, though...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    The side outlets in the zippered pouches are good. I just didn't like that the USB cords would stick out and could get damaged folding the bed panels up and down. Finally dug around and found some angles USB plug / extension cords that work well. L-com USB 3.0 Female to male Type A right angle...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Curiosity folks were out in full force today for some reason. Alu-cab should send us brochures to hand out. Would make stopping at places easier if we could just hand them a FAQ sheet... :rolleyes:

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    So I just changed from the Exped to the Hest. Mind you I have only napped in it at horse show once so far but I think I like it overall for a few reasons. 1. Often I'd forget to open the exhaust valve of the Exped and it would make it tough to close up. I'd reopen the cabin and deflate it and...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Hey is that a food truck or something? (pointing to the Alu-Cabin) If they ask if it is a camper, I can usually escape the gas station 30 minutes later if I am lucky. It's always interesting going places with it I have to say.

    GMRS

    Yeah perhaps they are lower power but overall I have had much better luck with them on simplex and duplex compared to another brand 15W and 40W radios. The audio was a bit low due to waterproofing but you can adjust it up a bit in the settings. I will not argue that they are pricey if you are...

    GMRS

    I have been happy with the Garmin RINO collection. Used them when the kids were younger to keep track of them in parks. They have perhaps the best FRS/GMRS radio out there and it's from a GPS company go figure.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Slight, not as much as I expected. Dial goes less than a quarter turn but I guess that is normal. Seems to work fine for me.

    Refilling 1lb tanks at home

    I have the Flame King 1# bottles and filling kit. REI used to sell them but stopped for some reason, believe I got some spares from Home Depot. I like it because you can use a bottle on a trip and then when you get back to the 20# you can top it off. Nothing more annoying than having a bunch of...

    The fit kit is the bottom of the rear panel and the mounting hardware. The tops are "universal" and the rear bottom is custom to the make of the vehicle to get a seal. The color is if you want it to match...
