I actually want to go a little higher, I just didn't know what was safe. This is still all very new too me. I am learning as I go and I ask a million questions of you wondrous and knowledgable beings, because you guys have most of the experience, which I appreciate and applaud for your opinions...

So how high is too high to lift a truck for carrying a camper? I understand one wouldn't want to have the COG too high so as to avoid rollover etc. but with taller tires, a leveling kit, airbags etc, what is a reasonable height beyond factory stock height? Thanks, Dan

..I accidentally posted a thread twice

In hind sight, and after reading this thread I kind of wish I had gone that route too. I know that if you get the flush mounts, that you can for another $375 get a King sized slide out bed. I just couldn't afford another $975+

It'd be cool to find a light bar that imitates a Cylon invader...

Ditto, good laugh, I'll share that at the Gastroenterologists tomorrow.

Crossbow with a thumper tip on the bolt, I case you miss and so you don't impale someone...maybe paintball is safer.

How long do you think two 10 lb propane tanks will last for one person in the field for two months with the forced air furnace, stove, and on demand hot water heater? Navy showers, dishes, and daily food being the main uses.

I'm about to splurge on new tires for my truck to carry my FWC Hawk for on and off road purposes. I've been using Cooper Discoverer AT/3's for the past year and they've been great, but I wanted to see what everyone else is using and why. I plan on upgrading to 10 ply E rated load tires. Feel...

Thank you for posting these particular pictures. It was nice to revisit Doherty Pass again. I was there last year during summer coming back from Oregon into Nevada. What a sight of exhilaration. Man, what a long steep road up the side of the mountain, and breath taking view at the top. Thanks...

After a year of traveling and sleeping in my truck bed and finding a lake, river or stream to bathe I built a shower system into my M416 trailer using a 26 gallon ATV sprayer tank with a 70 psi pump powered by solar and the water is heated by my Eccotemp L5 on demand hot water shower. I grew to...

I'm sorry to have put everyone interested on hold for a little bit. I've been dealing with a reoccurring illness which has been all too often debilitating. Thank you for your patience. Dan

I'm planning on a visit through there in late May, so thanks for posting all of this!

I absolutely love my Engel 45.

I'd be concerned something might puncture it from below, short of covering it with some Fabricated Hinged skid plates.

What kind of material is the deflector made from?

Wow! That's really nice.

Wish I could give up my farm anchor and live on the side of a desolate mountain with a view for a while

I too was at the East Expo last October. It was an enlightening experience. Here is a link to the Dairy Springs Campground in Cococino NF next to Mormon Lake and yes they have water too. http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/recreation/recarea/?recid=75147&actid=29 And the link to nearby...

Has anyone ever had a chance to compare the Forced Air Furnace that comes in the newer FWC's with the Wave 6? If so what are your thoughts please. I ordered the factory unit, but I'd like to know what other peoples experiences are in dealing with either. Thanks

Did anyone here go to the Overland Expo last May, or before? What were your experiences like? Do you plan on attending the next one in May or the one in June in Washington ? Do you think you will sign up for any of the over landing courses or do you think you'll just check out all the exhibitors...

I respect your needs, but mine are a little different...

Re titled and moved so as to include everyone. So I was just wondering who's going to the Expo at Mormon Lake in May and if you are, should we set up a WTW group camp? I'm planning on attending Mormon Lake in May, as well as the NW Overland Expo in June in Plain Wa. Should we circle the wagons...

I'm glad I have a top loader Engel.
