Yeh, the straps seem to indicate it’s a bit sketchy.

Rails add 40 lbs to the total hitch weight, there is a lighter hitch from a company called Anderson which is aluminum and weighs just 40 lbs for the hitch, but it has some ‘features’ I didn't like so...

Yeh their new stuff is quite a bit heavier, the usual bloat of adding all kinds of higher grade options. I considered going the flatbed route, but I wanted to keep the utility of the bed and a...

Yep, fan is definitely on the list, good idea on propane monitor. Once it warms up here ( -32 this morning) will test the appliances and see what is/isnt working. According the the seller they all...

According to GVWR pin weight is between 450lbs dry to around 650 loaded, of course you have to make sure you dont load the trailer up with shit, and that you keep it balanced. Tacoma has the towing...

This is my new (old) rig, 1988 Bigfoot, all fiberglass empty weight is around 3800lbs. fully insulated and heated basement. Needs a bunch of upgrades, mainly adding a serious solar system...

No, I could find controllers that charged house batteries and trickle charged starter batteries, but was looking at two house battery banks, of different kinds.

I could certainly make a enclosure...

Question for the solar experts, does this exist? An solar charge controller that can attach to two battery banks, one lithium, one not (lets say its AGM ) and prioritize charging according to custom...

Who really wanted to sleep on the ground in a $20 tent? That’s what we could afford, so that’s what we did.

Looking at options and I am seriously thinking that regular gas is the way to go, diesel is 50 to 60 cents more a liter than than gas, difference in economy for a diesel rig doesn't make up for that....

. Your payload estimate is net of people, gas oil etc? Remember the quoted load capacity they give for a vehicle is empty, no fluids. You also need to be aware of the front/rear axle limitations....

if you want to be guaranteed to get enough to buy a comparable vehicle you need to make sure that is spelled out in the policy. You can also get what is called an ‘Agreed Value’ policy where you...

You’ll most likely give them 7, unless you can afford to pay their fees out of pocket, lawyers working on the ‘you don’t pay us unless we win’ gig, will take most of your payout.

I’m guessing they didn’t even have to slam it, the weight of that rig would do it for them.

Does anyone actually look at the load limits that the auto maker publishes for rack mounted to the roof? I recall my Xterra manual saying 150lb was the maximum the factory rack was rated for. I’m...

I did some more digging thru the site and did notice in one place that it said the Falcon line starts at 69,000, but in the model listing the cheapest version is shown as 95,000. One or the other may...

Not sure where you are seeing 70k cdn? Seem to start at 70k US.

Does anyone who builds these things give even a passing consideration to the weight they are putting on it? Over loaded frame, transmission, brakes, center of gravity jacked way up high. Can just...

No hesitating.....

Why? Kills everything which is great about a bike, lightweight, lots of power and great handling.

It’s like owning a Hummer, it’s not what they can do, it’s what they look like they can do.

The sheer irony of a Protect our Winters logo on a vehicle that probably gets 8mpg

That cat is used as a base camp by a snowmobile operation that helicopters it’s clients onto the Pemberton Icecap.

Camping in the Park is only allowed at designated camp sites. There is an overflow site near Lake Louise that I 'think' is open in the winter, otherwise you have to camp at Tunnel mountain near...
