Agreed i always deal with Vincent and to my knowledge he is the owner and he has kept my classic machines running anytime i needed it and did t try to upsell me on parts i was guessing at. He even stayed open 15 minutes after closing when i told him i was on my way after diagnosing over the...
Well now we need to know who the other rdp member is and get their perspective on how Vic did on his first new desert adventure!
Congrats on the trip and enjoy!
That i can definitely agree with you on!
Not sure if it’s just me but never really been a fan of any of the knobs or bullets but this is the best one so far!
Well as per usual holiday gift we got a double selection from the mother in law!
Easy usual Jameson black barrel and some Knobby 9 year.
I will say the knobby for 120proof is not as smooth as i thought it would be. Has a strong bite to it, ill save it for some old fashions and friends.
This basically takes place of mounting panels on your roof that arent adjustable, mppt charge controller, wiring, new inverter, this also doesnt care what chemistry your batteries are in the rig since it supplys power like shore power your rig battery charger will see it as shore power and...
@BHC Vic
Meant to send this over the other day when you mentioned solar upgrades. Like others have mentioned a powerstation like a jackery etc.
This one in standard form is pretty much a 300ah lifpo4 battery (3600 watt hours) that you can hook up folding portable solar panels to charge it. Up...
Here is a basic full kit from Rich solar in ontario. Easy 400watts for basic camping and keeping battery topped off.

Depends on your needs and if you do the work.
Go basic to wild top tier stuff.
You could get 800watts worth of generic panels and a suitable mppt charge controller for under 1k, 600ah lith battery bank for $800-900,
inverter/charger around $1000-1300. Misc wiring, fuses, mounts couple 100 bucks...
Get ready! Your head will start spinning if you go to deep. You'll start at basic 12v systems then fall into the 24v system people and so on.
Best start for inverter at least is find out what the power consumption in watts for the items you want to run without the genny.
Usually its tvs(100ish...
And once the inverter is added if it doest have one, then at the same time is battery bank upgrade. Usually to Lithium, then updating the charger/converter for lithium, then solar etc. haha
My next rig will most likely have a hybrid inverter/charger like a victron multiplus 2x120
Love me a bronco dont get me wrong. Just couldnt afford one like how i wanted.
For now this thing is cheap to run and fix and crawls like a goat, shares parts with pathfinders, frontiers, armadas, titans etc. also like its still a body on frame vehicle and no toyota tax lol, Factory fosgate...
Just gonna play on option now that i have one but 2011-2015 nissan xterra pro 4x
It can be “titan swapped” suspension to increase travel, track width, and lift very cost effective with using mostly factory parts from nissan or rock auto.
Very reliable 4.0l v6 with timing chains not belts so...
Haha tell me about it i know there is like 5 more cases somewhere in this house. Might start slinging them out of the trunk in the mall parking lots haha i bet they are damn near 25 30 bucks a candle now!!
Ya those crates are what they get shipped in to the stores so she grabbed them for easier...
Haha let down for sure!!!
Dont even get me started, wife used to be assistant manager for a few years in temecula and our house is still infested with every scent and holiday special imaginable haha the deep discounts were hard to beat. Probably gifted another 20 candles over the years.
These newer 24/25s gms are having no problem with positive offset wheels and barely 2 inch levels in the front with no trimming but removing the plastic mud guard piece of the fender. Lots of google searches show it also. Even people doing 37s on the at4x /zr2 and factory is just 1.5” front lift...
We talking 1500 or 2500/3500 at4.
If we are talking hds i have seen many fitting 37s on 9-10 inch wide 18s or 20s with a minor level kit 0 to -19 offset from what i have seen. Sure no problem picking wheel offset if looking at 35s on the hds. No clue on 1500s sorry haha
