So, I'm not a waterfowl hunter, or any kind of a hunter for that matter....and I'm looking at this pic and I see a stack of dead geese and a bunch of live ones happily grazing in the background and I'm sitting here thinking "what the heck?, are they that dumb?" ( the geese I mean ! ) Like why...

Mud on the truck is the sign of a good trip out ! My sphincter is clenching just sitting here reading about sliding sideways in mud on an incline :) The only thing you didn't add is whether there was a drop-off on the edge of the road, to add to the drama !

This is perhaps a little off-topic but funny enough to share as it does pertain to off-roading : " The regulator barred two ads, first released in a 2020 campaign: a poster and a video shown on social media, where dozens of Toyota Hilux cars drive across off-road terrain, including a river...

If you do have a Rebel and you are set on getting chains, the only one that might work is cable chains, BUT, you will have to come to terms with the fact that clearance from the brake lines is really very small. If anything went sideways, there's a possibility of your brake line getting yanked...

Yep, I've had this problem too. I have a Rebel Ecodiesel, and between the front sway bar and the skid plates, it's clearly hard not to make a mess. But they don't clean up after themselves is what bugs me. If I wanted a mess, I'd do it myself ( I hate doing oil changes, no matter the vehicle, I...

So far, no, but limited experience so far. The day I got it fitted was a really wet day, so the bed of the truck was soaked before it went on. Hence even though I drove home in heavy rain, it was not a good test since everything was wet inside already. Although I will say there was no evidence...

That is a nice griddle ! This is the trouble with vicariously enjoying other guy's camping reports is you see things you "need" :-) Like that Devos LightRanger and a griddle like that. I know you said that one's home-made but there are similar ones to be had I know. However, having put RSI's...

Finally.....after close to 10 months of waiting ( ordered mid-January'23 ).... it's arrived and installed. I had my dealer install it. It took 2 guys + a forklift about 4 hrs to get it done. With the long wait, I was tempted once or twice to consider bailing out and ordering an Alucab, but I...

--- that's quite the menagerie you've been hauling around :) My wife's Highlander is the main car our kids get hauled around in..... hoooh boy, that poor car ! Went camping with my daughter (14 ) this past summer. One campground had a bothersome mosquito population, so she spent a good bit of...

My second oil change. I know this sounds terrible but the oil is "whatever the dealer puts in". Hopefully they are using the spec'd oil !

I fixed the dealer's mistakes yesterday ! Had an oil change done the other day. Asked them to _please_ clean up the underside of the truck, I really don't want oil splatters on my garage floor. I asked this because after my first oil change on the truck that is what happened. Oil all over the...

that's _exactly_ what I do too :-) If I just got up and went down the ladder and got it over with, it would be so much better, rather than "we'll just roll over and go back to sleep and the urge will pass". Nope, it won't, just get up already :) After 20+ mins of pretending I don't really need...

hmmmmm......we might have to talk some time !

I recently bought a Viair 450p unit from summit racing (Viair Corporation 45043 VIAIR 450P Automatic Portable Air Compressors | Summit Racing ) and find it pretty good. It's not super noisy and it has an auto shut off so if you're not actively pumping air it shuts off the pump motor. Only thing...

I'm sitting in my local dealership getting an oil change on my '22 Rebel Ecodiesel. Took a walk around the lot to pass some time. They have easily 20 or 30 or more 1500's in various trims . Every one I paused and looked at has a + $4995 market adjustment added on to the MSRP. I am still very...

Thanks so much for this summary, really helpful. I think I have seen some posts on your build thread related to this also, I'll take a look. With my current skill level, portable solar is probably going to be the easiest way forward for me. With that said, it's something I'm looking at for next...

I'm interested in what you did re: solar setup, if you've posted anything on it elsewhere, be happy to read that if you could link to it. I'd like to get solar on my RTT. I do have roof bars for my 23Zero tent ( which I haven't fitted yet ), they are meant for light use, like a kayak or...

I have a 23 Zero 'Kabari' wedge / clam shell hard shell RTT. My reason for getting an RTT is that I do quite a bit of hiking and generally when I go camping, the campsite is a jumping off point for a hike; the trailhead might be in the campground, or it might be another 30mins to an hour from...

I used factory because I didn't have a hex socket so it was either pause the project till the next day or make do with the factory bolts. I did add a little blue loctite on each one as I put it back in, not sure if it was necessary or not

well, I learn something new every day ! I finished up re-using the OEM bolts because the ones that Hellwig supplied required a hex socket and I did not have any to connect to my torque wrench so I just used the 15mm socket I had to hand. Now I have an excuse to buy more tools, to get a set of...
