Nice. They make netting that goes over the top of the door so you can open the windows for ventilation but keep mosquitos out. Just try and find the big ones for our doors/windows. Not sure if the covers you made will do that already. Lots of great options to make it all work. Yeh...

Yes I have tarps, kit, trekking poles. etc. I'm still not good at tarp setups. PITA to me. Not many trees in the desert too. Works in Sierras and southern Utah. My buddy uses a Kelty Waypoint tarp in the other pic on his Cherokee, comes with a pole. Nice. They have some other nice systems...

Thanks for posting. Yeh I keep bending my brackets and will prob need to bend back and weld in a gusset at some point. And replace bushings or whole LCA as a unit. But still rides, and wheels, fine for now. Passenger side bent in but still articulates ok: Drivers side still looks good:

EricR Power Beast etc I feel like an idiot, I never thought to use cruise control on a downhill road descent to reduce speed. Can't wait to try it now. I have adaptive cruise but rarely use it, or turned most of the lane assist stuff off. Not very good. I still seem to engage the collision...

Anyone know some other wheels that are correct center bore for our hub centric system of 87.10 mm and don't require centering rings? I hate centering rings, they just seems wrong to me. Without them you can get hideous vibrations that ruin everything. With them a weaker system and a pain in the...

Great discussion. I don't use it locally or daily. Still learning, but been using it more and more often on overland trips on long steep road descents to prevent overheating front brakes. ie 2H M3 ie High Sierras, Death Valley, San Bernadino's I hate hot spots, warped rotors, chatter under...

Nice. Someone mentioned a trail called something Gordo up there, Cerro Gordo sounds right. I think the more experienced guys did it before. I try to stay on the 6/10, non pucker trails, but we seem to end up with enough pucker up spots every once in a while. We may do part of that on our next...

Yep. All I wanted was to run a coffee maker. No joy. LOL I occasionally use it to recharge battery operated stuff, handheld ham or gmrs radio, porter cable impact wrench, Milwaukee tire pump. Usually If I forgot to before I went on an "overlanding", (offroad car camping) trip. I think the...
