And I have zero issues with my PC, so I guess that proves the two platforms are in fact exactly equal to each other in stability/reliability.

The ARB that lives my my FJC, which is my daily driver, is on all the time.

The Engle that lives in the AT Horizon is off until we're getting ready to use it. I usually turn it on a few days...

It would be helpful if replies specified the camera used (so we know if it's a full frame sensor or otherwise), or better yet convert to the 35mm equivalent focal length.

I use a Lifeline GPL-4DA in my Bigfoot camper. Also have one in the nose box of my Horizon trailer.

It's a humongous 12v AGM battery. In both applications it's the biggest 12v battery I could...

I'm pretty sure that you will not find a 2M only mobile unit with a removable face plate. If that's important to you based on your installation approach that may drive you towards a dual band radio.

May still be a little early for the eastern Sierras, but let's get some plans in place before the summer fills up with other stuff. The next couple weeks are going to be hectic for Jodi and me, but...

Good times. We had hail, rain, and generally blustery weather all weekend, but still had a great time. Only one fish was caught all weekend. Don't know if that's typical for Funnel Lake, or if we...

Basically, this is the way I've cleaned canyoneering ropes that come home grungy. I use a big plastic trash can as I'm usually dealing with something much longer than 30'.

I'd be concerned that...

Having owned both BMW and Japanese bikes, albeit some time ago, I always found the cost difference for service to be somewhat illusory. When you take your Beemer in to the dealer for service they...

We find it convenient to carry our gelatinized drinks as large chunks wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in rectangular Tupperware containers. Cut into serving sizes pieces in camp to maximize...

I heard on good authority that if you place your tin foil hat on the hood of the vehicle precisely over the location of the ECU or other sensitive electronics you can prevent any adverse affects from...

Gelatinized.

I want to say something like adventure is in the eye of the beholder.

If adventure for you is mainly about how far off the beaten track your campsite is located, then a bigger camper/truck combo...

I think your concerns, while valid, can all easily be mitigated with a routine inspection of the cans, caps and gaskets. Something that we all should probably do regardless of how we choose to carry...

I used to carry them this way before I got another rack solution for my FJ. I carried both water and gas this way and never had any troubles. Just make sure you crank the caps down tight, and check...

Given your situation where you are going to buy both a camper and a truck, I would choose the camper I wanted first, and then buy the appropriate truck to carry it.

I don't think I'd buy a full...

We are fortunate enough to have both options: A Bigfoot C2.5-10.6 camper that we carry on a '99 F350, and an AT Horizon trailer that we pull behind our FJ Cruiser.

The applications are quite...

Most likely it was Man-a-Fre. They are a local LC/Toyota shop. I thought they had pretty good reputation (although they did have lots of issues with the second fuel tank mod they sold a while back...

Well that explains part of it - I'm sure my Horizon weights just a tad more than the flatbed! ;)

I've been thinking about the pnuematic upgrade. It does seem like the metal jockey wheel is part...

Jim -

Your LNR link is definitely twisted more than mine was. Looks like your side plates held up better than mine did, which could explain why your link experienced more stress. In my case it...

Having used both the LNR and the Max Coupler I think your observations are spot on Bob. The Max Coupler is noticeably quieter than the LNR. The LNR is easier to connect under any circumstances, but...

Ahhh, sorry to hear that Jim. Any idea where it happened?

I've posted these before elsewhere, but here's a pic of what my Lock & Roll looked like when I got back from the Maze:

Great idea.

I agree that many are, but not all. I was surprised when shopping for our camper that so many camper dealers told us we'd be fine with a 3/4 ton truck when that clearly would put us way over the...

My Bigfoot camper has all the hookups on the driver's side.
