To what extent does the SES system impede total travel and articulation?

ITEM DESCRIPTION A virtually brand new James Baroud Space XXL (Color: Black). Used once for one night. Selling because its way too large for our needs (and the Mrs. doesn't like it... my loss, your gain) PRICE $4000 (Open to reasonable offers...) CONDITION A tiny pin hole in one wall panel due...

Thank you for the guidance. Makes sense and jives with my thoughts too. Its just so friggin annoying that this happened after only a month of ownership. Once I determine root-cause I will post my findings.... And notify JB if its a Mfg. boo boo. ...its been a day

Broadly speaking... Life. Life is a money pit. Overlanding and its gear quickly become a money pit, in my humble misguided opinion. Yet, we still offer up our meager shekels to the gods of imagined adventure and generalized coolness. What fools we are.

Thank you - This is great feedback, much appreciated. Can you provide some specifics on typical surface prep?

That looks beautiful! Nice set-up. I am going to give the RTT thing a year then possibly pivot to a trailer setup. Its just a money pit. 80/20 is great stuff though a little know-how is handy since some nuance is needed to getting the most out of it. Couple of points... Its FAR stronger than...

Son-of-a-B!!! Some how I managed to get a small pin hole (will post pic later) in the side wall of my - BRAND NEW - James Baroud Space XXL. Its located near the flange of the shell's top half and near the rear clasp. I think the material was pinched and caught by a burr on the shell's inside...

Ok ok ok, this is getting out of hand now.. Clearly, the only reasonable solution is to machine the ENTIRE bumper from a singular massive Ti billet. Nothing else sufficiently conveys the uber-************ globe treking professional overlander imagine I desperately desire...while getting a hoagie at...

What follows is my half hearted, and quarter cared-for, attempt to document the design, procurement, build, and testing of an 80/20 (T-Slot style) based roof rack. As always, all feedback, insights, scathing criticisms, and ad hominem posts are not just welcomed but encouraged. Incompetent List...

Crossed my mind... For a day when I have more time. Thought should do that sooner than later since I currently have access to NASTRAN and FeMap... ya know, so I can REEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLY over think the build.

That's a valid question and I may suffer because of my choice. With the tent and RSi cap I still get 22-24 mpg (3.5L EB)... because I drive like a Tachophobic octogenarian. Seriously, on the Hwy is eco-mode, cruise control, 65 mph, middle lane. Specifically why E rating? Because I am paranoid...

Groovy - Thanks a lot for the very useful feedback.

Leaf Springs: F150 Deaver 1" Lift Rear HD Leaf Springs (Deletes Block) L84HD (P/N: DEAL84HD or L84HD) UCA: F150 SPC Adjustable Forged Upper Control Arms (P/N: 25680) No, I did not request coating on the leafs, but that's a good idea. Do you have a recommendation? I do plan on having...

Seems to be the case with most things "overland" Such is the way with hobbies like these I suppose. And yet we see "Overlander of the Year" running some 80's era Toyota pickup. Probably best to just shut up and go do the thing.

Thanks for the feed back. I have no intention to jump my truck what-so-ever... Mostly just plodding along on simple to moderate off-road trails. My principle needs are payload, durability, comfort, and duration. The wife and I (no kiddos... yet) plan are planning some trips to North Eastern...

Really appreciate all the input and discussion... Here's the build so far. Comments, suggestion, scathing criticisms, and ad hominem attacks welcomed! Next month she (Code Name: Heidi) get legs and shoes. Fox 2.5 w/ DSC all around and Deaver HD +1" leafs. Tires and wheels are LT315\70\R17 KO2...

Thank you for that recommendation. I am aware of those... but, at the risk of being a vain, I don't really like how those look. I also wonder about long term durability since they're going to experience more torsional stress at the hitch mount. Plus, I'd like the bonus of high lift points on an...

Thanks for the feedback... Seems like a missed market, ya know... The F150 is the most popular truck in North America. If such thing can bit fitted to a Tundra why not an F150... the Ford's payload is greater, according to the inter-webs. I am generally confused by the lack of interest in...

Does anyone make a rear bumper like that shown below for an F150? If not, is there a good reason? Thoughts and/or recommendations on having one fabricated or modifying an existing part are appreciated.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the confirmation...
