    Thinking about taking the G plunge

    G wagons are cool vehicles to own. They are exclusive enough that they have sort of a "Truck Norris" legend that surrounds them. You can make most any claim about their on or off-road prowess, reliability and robustness and there aren't a bunch of naysayers coming out of the woodwork to...

    Build stove?

    Partners are very nice stoves. When you consider the cost of materials and consumables in addition to the time to build your own, you can justify the purchase price as cost effective. The off the shelf Partners do provide you opportunities to make improvements to the windscreens and grates.

    which newer full size 1/2 ton is the best overland platform

    Very true and universally true whether you're talking Ram Cum vs Hemi or GM D-Max vs gasser or Ford Stroke vs gas version. That's one of the reasons I decided to fill my HD needs with a gasoline engine 2500HD rather than the sexier diesel choice.

    Thoughts on these two for Expo rigs?

    Small world, I'm on the Osprey program. The 8th is one of my customers. I also grew up in Montana, son of an MSU grad. . Good luck on your decision. It's highly personal. If you aren't sure what you want an off the shelf solution is probably best. If you're convinced nobody sells exactly...

    Thoughts on these two for Expo rigs?

    Grab the Terrastar, mount a Bigfoot 2500 Series slide in camper and you're full time traveling by April 1st for somewhere south of $125K. . Purchase that sweet looking Workstar, add two years of hard work, copious check writing and you'll have a custom creation that's exactly what you think you...

    Fear of the highlift?

    I agree with your point, however may not have articulated it in the same manner. Hi-Lift jacks has functionality, versatility and record of success. The Hi-Lift jack is THE industry leader and for seven or so decades and has not been unseated though many have tried. I can't think of any other...

    Yeti Lawsuit

    I'm surprised this thread taken this general direction. I avoided clicking on this thread all week because I assumed it would take a decidedly "pro Yeti" tone. In the past ,ExPo threads like this were prone to being staunchly on the side of the luxury label...no matter the product. Value...

    Any limit to how fast lithium ion batteries charge?

    I don't think I have ever heard the term, what is alternator 'over heat protection'? I understand the concept and how the charge profile of the battery could drive the necessity but what and how are alternators protected from overheat?
