EDIT: The answer was in the fine details. I tossed the images into Gemini and asked to try and find product info, and it pointed out that Motop was mentioned in the install instructions. After looking through Motop bookface the truck in the photos is one of theirs, and the demo tent this dude...

I need new seats for the truck. I currently have cloth, looking for something more comfortable that hug a little more and keep you in place, and that are easier to clean. The truck has turned into a toy, really. I no longer daily drive it, and it's primary use is for long, multi-day, 1,000+ mile...

I plugged some things into Gemini today asking to categorize the off-roading and overlanding community, and this is what I got. May the Force Be With You! Jeep Owners: The Rebel Alliance They are scrappy, iconic, and technically the "face" of the movement, but their gear is held together by...

I know it's a rather specific thing and the opposite direction of what I've seen most people do, but has anyone went from the AEV 3in high capacity springs to the Clayton 2.5in high capacity springs? How much lift height did you actually lose? How does the ride compare to the AEV springs? I...

Looking into WDH or anti-sway and not really sure what route to go since I have high capacity springs and when my trailer is connected the truck sits pretty much level. I was looking at the Equal-i-zer WDH. My trailer falls within their 400/4000 version, but their 600/6000 is on sale and I was...

We will start somewhere around Superior, WI and the plan is to use forest roads as much as we can to make our way across to the bridge. I've been through northern WI and the U.P. plenty of times via highways, and I've already done a lot of the normal touristy things. What I'm looking for now are...

We got a new camper so I've been looking at brake controllers. REDARC has 3 variants, Liberty, Elite, and Trail. Liberty is just a basic controller. Easy enough. Elite and Trail both have a manual off road mode. I'm not really seeing any listed functional differences between the Elite and...

I've been struggling to find that ideal suspension setup. For reference, I have a Rubi diesel. I currently have AEV Dualsport RT with HD springs, and I'm sitting at roughly 3 inches of lift. I have around 500lbs of constant weight in the bed, a little more when loaded for trips, and...

I'd like to start by saying I am NOT the organizer of this event, I am not sponsored by them or benefiting by posting this, nor did they ask me to post this. The organizers are good friends of mine, and I will always support and promote my friends! If you're in the general central USA, or if...

I'm having troubles with my transmission oil not getting to temp when it's cold out. I can let the truck get to operating temp, and then drive 30+ miles and I still wont see over 140deg transmission temps. I believe this is causing the transmission to want to stay in 7th and tank fuel economy...

For reference, my plan is to build two side by side drawers, with one drawer for kitchen/food, and the other drawer for tools and gear. The whole drawer assembly being as wide as it can be between the wheel wells and roughly 12 inches tall. On top of the drawer assembly will be a slide out...

I sent an email to ZAuto, but figured I'd toss this up here as well. My Tazer JL Mini "loses memory" every couple of months. The live settings that I set revert back to default states, but not always all of them... I typically have Kill 3 Honk, auto-start disable, and brake pulse set for live...

Just got home from a 3100 mile trip pulling our ~2k lb camper. While everything went fine, I found the engine braking while descending down steep grades a bit lacking. Previous vehicles I was always able to find a gear that would hold speed fairly well without running too high rpm and with...

For those who are thinking about buying from 4x4 Colorado, this was my experience, so take it for what it's worth. This might get long. TLDR: After 3 estimated shipping extensions and near non-existent communication I canceled my order and had to keep bugging them to finally get my refund. I...

Got this idea after some replies in another thread about country folk help out country folk. Tell us your stories! Anything from funny pucker stories, favorite vacation memories to growing up "how did we ever survive?" stupidity. I don't really have anything CRAZY, but I have some fun ones. I...

I'm in the market again for an RTT. I have my eye on Sterling Adventure Company, specifically their Uinta tent. Anyone have any experience with them? I've found some good reviews online, but not much and haven't found anything even slightly negative which always raises suspicions. I've talked...

I'm looking to run some power cable under the truck and I need a water tight bus bar or distribution block. Plan is to split the cable somewhere near the floor slope from the back seats, one run will then route back into the cab to a DC-DC charger for the house battery, and the other run will...

A friend and I started a podcast called Deliberately Lost Outdoors. We will be talking about anything with our outdoors adventuring, overlanding, backpacking, snowshoeing, etc. We released our first episode on June 1st and plan to release new episodes monthly, sometimes more often depending on...

I guess this is kind of a rant/company review/question thread... at what point do you stop listening to excuses from companies? I did a lot of searching and Rebel Offroad came as highly recommended with no real negative reviews that i could find, so I ordered a half rack on March 30th. I...

Lately I've been hearing more and more about overheating transfer cases, diffs, and transmissions while off-road. I recently listened to a podcast where the host was saying to stay in 2H until you need it, and if you do need 4x4 to use 4L and in leave your trans in 1st or 2nd. They stated 4H is...
