    Jeep Rubicon Earthroamer

    As for the connectors, and lights...They were battery connections, and the ad says the battery was just replaced...maybe they replaced the connections as well. As for the lights, also living in NH, that is something we have to do at inspection time. In NH any light above the factory headlights...

    older LC or newer 4Runner?

    Thanks for the comments everyone...I had to take a last minute trip, and didn't get to stay very involved in the thread. After reading it looks like the LC is coming out ahead. I'll give a bit more background on what I'm looking for. This is going to be a multi use vehicle. We will be using...

    older LC or newer 4Runner?

    Hi all...The wife and I are looking at replacing our current truck (an older Infiniti QX56). We are in the very early stages of thinking about this, but at the moment we are thinking the budget will be about $40K. I'm fairly set on a Toyota that has good aftermarket support. So it looks like...

    Black Series Alpha or LivinLite Quicksilver?

    ^^^ Thanks for the info. We ended up finding a LivinLite 14XLP, for a great price. it doesn't have the living space the Alpha does, but hopefully being all aluminum, and having no wood anywhere in the construction it should last us a while.

    Would you?? High mileage 2010 Armada

    If it has the tow package, then there is still a very large trans cooler up front...If it doesn't have the tow package, then I believe it still has another cooler, but not as large. In the vain of @broncobowsher there are aftermarket aluminum radiators that solved the issue, and that is the...

    Would you?? High mileage 2010 Armada

    I've got 2010 QX56 (basically the exact same rig, just with different front body work), with about 150,000K on it. Its a pretty rock solid rig. There will be plenty of little things that will need repaired, but the power train is pretty solid. I would find out if the transmission cooler in...

    Black Series Alpha or LivinLite Quicksilver?

    Tow rig has a 9K tow rating, so weight isn't an issue for either of these, aside from better MPG/Less wear. Yes, the Quicksilver is only about 1,000 lbs. where the Alpha is about 2,000 lbs.

    Black Series Alpha or LivinLite Quicksilver?

    I've been looking at "pop up" type campers for my family for a little while now, and I've got it narrowed down to these two. We are a family of four with one kid being about 6 and the other about 2 plus a small dog with a budget max of $10K (Although honestly we will probably wait till next...

    Luxury Off-roaders

    Check out this thread: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2nd-gen-infiniti-qx56-qx80-build.205778/ It kinda depends on your budget, most of the real iconic off-road SUVs are luxury vehicles: Toyota 200 series Land Cruiser, Mercedes G-Wagon, Land Rover...

    What am I looking for? Family of four entry level overlanding camper/trailer

    That is my one concern with a lot of those type of pop-up, even though they are "off-road" models, they aren't built to handle anything more than the highway. I think the Opus, Black Series, and Livin Lite would be where I would focus.

    What am I looking for? Family of four entry level overlanding camper/trailer

    @sb.reno I'm in the same spot as you (although with a lower budget) Also what ages are your kids? There is a big difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old when it comes to accommodations. Here is what I've been looking at: https://coachmenrv.com/camping-trailers/viking...

    1st Gen Armada/QX56 air suspension question

    Maybe switching to the Timbren bump stops would be a good plan with what I'm thinking, that way there is more of a progressive "stopping" of the swing arm instead of the "hard stop" of the factory unit.

    1st Gen Armada/QX56 air suspension question

    I've been doing some thinking about the air suspension on my 2010 QX56, and I wanted to run my thought by some other people to see if I'm missing something. I like having the air suspension in the truck; it rides nice, and obviously adapts the truck to different load outs. My thought though...

    SOLD: 2018 Taxa Cricket (w/ Extras)

    I can't afford the trailer (wish I could), but I'd love to find out where you wheel & camp. I'm in S.NH as well (Derry), and haven't found many places to go.

    Arriving in April

    I like it...I've always liked the idea of a hard sided "pop up". Mostly for security against larger 4 legged creatures. Its to bad they don't have pictures of the off road package on the website.

    Water Crossing with a Mechanical Fan?

    I'm thinking like water up to the headlights or more...I did a couple quick water crossings in Alaska with my LandCruiser that were up over the hood, but they were just quick in and out, 5-10 seconds at most, but for people who are doing that more often or for longer periods of time I'm...

    Quest for the Perfect Family Tent

    Sorry, I missed this. No I don't have one of these. I have one of Coleman's tents that is shared between the US & Aus. However the rain fly in AUS is 1,000% better than the one here in the US. I'm trying to get the Aus. version imported, but keep running into dead ends. Yes shipping is...

    Water Crossing with a Mechanical Fan?

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything when I searched. For those of you who do more substantial water crossings...What do you do about mechanical engine fans? Do you switch over to a manually controlled electric fan setup, do you disconnect the drive belt before...
