    Traveler trailer towing

    I use a Haul Master 10,000 lb WDH that was relatively inexpensive (which is why I bought it). Right now, it meets the need and does the job well - when set up correctly like PlainTaco stated - but the thing is heavy. 80lbs of weight just for the hitch and bars. That's why I'm now looking...

    Traveler trailer towing

    True. I had a 2008 with the 4.0 that I now wish I had kept. And “enjoyable” is subjective to be sure but a regear has to at least make it gooder.

    Traveler trailer towing

    I appreciate this thread because I’ve been searching for the answer on my life’s question: to regear or not regear and if not regear, then what? FWIW, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted to the forums but I want to share my real world towing experience taking my 2021 Winnebago 2108FBS on a...

    Off road campers

    I really like how the Hikes look - how are you liking it? If just me I'd probably already have one but my wife is more keen to be on a more "luxury" side of things (thinking an Imagine XLS 17MKE or a Micro Minnie)

    Throttle controllers

    No worries - didn't think that at all. I am gonna check out the Bank's Power. Maybe I can get some sucker to buy this Pedal Commander. ;)

    Throttle controllers

    I'm normally the guy that is pretty good about thinking through the what-ifs but not on this decision. Didn't even occur to me that the Pedal Commander will create that open circuit if it goes bonkers - and now thinking about it, makes sense if it were to do so. *knocks harder on wood.

    Throttle controllers

    Oh, man - better not be a gimmick. First thing I noticed driving my Gen3 was the lag (and my first thought of wondering if I made a mistake getting rid of that bulletproof 4.0 engine in my Gen2) so I got a Pedal Commander as one of my first mods on the Gen3 back last summer. So far, no issues...

    What Would You Do?

    Good point. In this morning's scavenger hunt I found two separate $50 listings (that includes the TPMS) from guys not far up the road from me...these should easily hold the 265/75/16s I'll run.

    Facts. Makes sense and I could end up seeing myself go that way too. Thanks for the comment.

    What Would You Do?

    That's worth considering - I haven't put much thought into that. Thanks!

    Deadly crash…Possible master brake cylinder?

    Wow - that is tragic news. Thanks for sharing because I'm a relatively new owner of a 2019 and wasn't aware of anything master brake cylinder related but now I'm going to check myself.

    What Would You Do?

    I should flesh out my thinking process and logic on the why I'm looking at doing this, and how I want to make the money work. In my old set up I had 8 total matching wheels with the intent of having all 8 on the same tire. I had BFG KO2s on my truck (they were awesome tires for me) and will...

    I'm in the Memphis area.

    What Would You Do?

    Around here (unless I go over to the Ozarks) it's mainly mudding and I'm not looking at doing super technical stuff. My whole rig is mainly overlanding focused and while the trailer will go off road, right now it won't be crawling that crazy stuff.

    What Would You Do?

    Ok, so in my original Gen2 truck/trailer setup, I snagged a set of four wheels for the trailer to match the OEM ones I had on my Gen2. Fast forward and now that I've cross-graded to my Gen3, I've been toying with the idea of matching the trailer wheels to what I'm currently running on my Gen3...

    Off road campers

    While I too would love something like the EXP-4, my off-road camper is right now a janky redneck special.

    Manual Transmission Issues??

    I'm paying attention as my clutch has the plasticy squeek that I need to get replaced but I don't have any clunking/grining issues (yet). (FWIW, there's a TSB out there on the clutch for 2018/19 models, presuming your still under warranty. Might be worth those w/2020+ models to ask...

    Dig it! You're near where I camp on the TN side of Pickwick. I enjoy the Brunton Branch primitive site for waterfront solo camping.

    I'm so new I don't have my avi uploaded yet

    avi like avatar - still have the simple 'S' and haven't decided what I'm going to use. (my kids keep me up to speed on the cool words.)

    I'm so new I don't have my avi uploaded yet

    Yep - TRD skid on the new one. I'll post a walk-around at some point. Biggest reason I cross-graded (won't call it an upgrade; the 4.0 engine in my Gen2 was bulletproof awesome and I can feel the difference with this one) was all the options that came with it, the fact that it was a manual...

    I'm so new I don't have my avi uploaded yet

    Thanks, y'all. This was my old setup and now my new ride the day at the dealership. My original rig was a 2008 Barcelona Red and the "trailer" was the backend of a salvaged white 2006-8ish (I need to check the vin on the tailgate). It was a local craigslist find a few years ago and my wife...

    I'm so new I don't have my avi uploaded yet

    Greetings and salutations from the Memphis, TN area. I'm so new I still don't have my avi uploaded. I went from a 2008 Gen 2 6spd manual with 185k+ miles that I had planned to drive for at least another 10 years to a 2019 Gen 3 TRD OR 6spd manual on a deal back in June that I just couldn't...
