  1. Help me decide - big tent problems from winter 'storage'

    We've never had a problem with our RTTs with leaking, and all winter I've had our old Tepui sitting outside. Seems to be a rare but unfortunate occurrence. We're doing a Hiker trailer. The new RTT will move to that, and it'll be a few inches lower and easily fit in the garage. It'd fit on the...
  2. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    Near me a '24 Sport is listed basically the same price I got my '21 Rubi for. And that seems to be in the middle. Yikes. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/60d315ee-8cb7-45c7-8577-ac77e40d7451/
  3. Any reason to avoid Manual Transmission?

    modern problems require modern solutions.
  4. Hood edge paint starting to bubble.

    Yup. Previous Ford Expedition had the liftgate bubbling. About the size of a Susan B. Anthony.
  5. Do we need to occasionally run the Pentastar at wide open throttle for lubrication purposes?

    Huh. That's a new one. And basic driving makes this theory laughable.
  6. Tires are ugly brown!

    MAX-TOW Too bad planes are so big, I could probably ask around and get a BAC #'d decal. lol. 2 of my b-i-ls work there (but not on '37; one in finance division, the other on the tanker). Also friends with a guy who worked on the MAX battery problem. BOT: iirc, you don't want to use the...
  7. Can't Decide on Next Vanity Plate

    Over in the WA subforum I documented my frustration with getting my plate. Best I can surmise is WA won't let you put genders on places (or the person who "approves" plates nixed mine). We wanted CLVRGRL. It had been available forever, and 2 months into our application timeframe, it said...
  8. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    I used to have a Scion xB and I read the crash test report on side impact. You'll survive, but you'll wish you were dead. My low APR locks me into mine. There's nothing wrong with it as is.
  9. Drive-thru Carwash with Sunrider

    I think you need to up your morning caffeine intake. ;):LOL:
  10. Ordered a trailer!

    For the box, I'm thinking just a basic truck box off AMZN or the local Tractor Supply/HD/Lowes. Put a strip of thick weatherstripping to keep out the dust and that should work just fine. I just need to determine the size. On the "we spared no expense" side, a Zarges box would be an option...
  11. Is this normal and the way it is meant to be?

    The short answer is the Union is first.
  12. Ordered a trailer!

    Wife's still on board, so we're ordering a Hiker today. It's the MR 5x8, with no added options other than double doors with windows and the 3rd rack rail because our RTT is heavy. We have multiple solar batteries (Lion & EcoFlow), solar panels, and fridge already, so we didn't need to order...
  13. Drive-thru Carwash with Sunrider

    I would not take it through the car wash. It's very good at water resistance, but it's not water proof. We had 3" of wet Yellowstone snow on ours, and as the truck was warming up, the bottom of the snow melted and dripped through. If you were to take it thru the carwash, I would apply a water...
  14. Mopar undercoat?

    I had to shell out $400 for the TruCoat.
  15. Drop Hitch Recommendations

    And that's not even really the death wobble. My wife came home after driving our JT post-lift and she said "we have the death wobble." I drove it and experienced nothing. The only thing I felt was an almost imperceptible shimmy in the steering wheel at 57mph, but only when going straight...
  16. Sugar in gas tank, help!

    yeah, my sister's friend had a VW beetle. More than one occasion she found it on the cafeteria chairs. my buddy forgot to put his S10 blazer in park, so I pushed it to the back of the parking lot next to the tennis courts. it took him a good 30 seconds to realize his truck wasn't stolen.
  17. Sugar in gas tank, help!

    PB under door handles was a good one, too. While *I* didn't do anything nefarious in HS, my b-i-l (we went to the same HS, only 6 years apart) has great stories. Like the time he got caught by the school admins, parking without a parking pass (gasp!), so they chained a 55 gallon barrel to his...
  18. Sugar in gas tank, help!

    Sounds like you need better friends. :LOL: No, I wouldn't do this because more than likely, no one would get it - or see it. Car pranks tend to backfire. Although zip-ties on the driveline can be funny. But it might be worth doing to those Subaru owners who can't park correctly at trailheads.
