Make sure to remove the battery before loading whatever method you use, it spares you a good amount of weight from the bike. Also, less weight jostling on your equipment during transit.

I have Icon multi leafs on ‘stage 2’ (there’s an extra spring you can put on for more weight, lift, called ‘stage 3’). This gave me at least an inch, inch and a half rear lift. I have Eibach Pro Truck rear shocks, which I’m realizing (after many trips) only accommodate 1” of lift. My Icons...

This doesn’t help you, but i think my first boat (besides recreational kayaks) will be a Porta-Bote. 12’ is likey lighter than a Zodiak and has much more room than a same length inflatable. Folds flat and pretty quickly assembles. Planes on a 5hp outboard. Rows decently, unlike an inflatable...

I started to fret over the possibility, what sort of thicker double sided tape to replace it with, stencil the shape, cut… then I remembered the damn thing is only $10. I could re buy the whole thing again! Seriously, I wonder what the premium double sided tape solution might be, if the summer...

https://a.co/d/08WvUdVi $10, this thing mostly remedies a problem I have on long trips. The lower door armrest - the one with power window controls - is too low for me when my left hand is on the steering wheel. The top of the door panel, under the window, is too high. I end up going back and...

Yeah, I’m baffled. Asked the dealer to look at it during my last oil change. While they said they don’t do deep dive diagnostics in the ‘quick lane’ for oil changes, they did test the battery and it measured better than minimum standard of healthy battery. I bought it new Sept 2022, only have...

I work from home and my truck often sits for a few days, long enough to enter a battery saver mode. This disables remote start via the Ford App, frustrating when it’s freezing outside and I can’t warm up the truck. Researched and settled on this. Start-X Remote Starter Kit for...

I should’ve added.. you should consider 255. Skinny tires outperform wide tires in almost all offroad applications, especially hard rock Utah terrain. Also lighter, better range from better mpg. Taller 255s clear the wheel wells better than wider, too. Also, I don’t understand the ‘looks’...

I did the White Rim Trail and many others in that general area of Utah last year. I have Firestone Destination XT, 255/75/17 in a C Load rating. I've done all sorts of trails in WA, Oregon desert, Nevada and Utah with this rig. ~3" lift on Eibach Pro Truck shocks and Icon springs. These...

Frozen items chill the fridge, the thermostat reads that temp, and won’t run the compressor until the temp goes up and beyond your set temp. My Iceco JP50 does this too. Also, temps at the top are never as cold. We set ours to 37. Multiple 2 week offroad camping trips, this and a Jackery have...

Also confirming, my offroad shop installed, did the alignment and confirmed all is well, don't need new UCAs. While I thinks its settled a tad, the standard setup gave me 3" lift. I also added Icon leaf set in the rear. I've really enjoyed this upgrade on the street, and all across Utah, Nevada...

My Destination XTs are C load, 255/75/17. If I would’ve bought them after my suspension lift, I would’ve gone 255/80/17, so 33” rather than 32.” I don’t feel the need for E load, personally.

Unlifted, I installed 255/75/17s, a true 32" tire, on the skinnier side which is as critical as diameter, given how the tire turns in its wheel well. Now with a suspension lift, I'm confident I could go to a 33" on a 255 (I think that's 255/85/17 but check my math), given the clearances I have...

I'm shocked by the weight difference in the tire selections. I can speak confidently, after many weeks of offroad trips in Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, the quality and durability of the Firestone Destination tire. Mine is the XT in C load (255/75/17). It is notably lighter than KO2s and...

Yep, I did that mod too and it is better. However, the rate of flow is still much less than the green non-EPA spec one you can find on Amazon (sorry, no link at the ready). The modified red one still flows laterally, with the stream split a few different ways. It does not flow straight out the...

Looks like some of these extended range fuel tanks are 37 gallons? Oh yeah, that'd get you 444 miles range while towing, averaging 12 mpg. Not towing, but cruising at moderate freeway speeds at 22 mpg gets you a whopping 814 mpg. Offroad driving will be between those two ranges. Of course with...

If you can spare 13.5” x 13.5” in your truck bed, get a ‘Super Crate’ sized milk crate (google that) and fit two 5 gallon Wavian or other jerry cans in it. Now you have 28 gallon capacity, for under $250. I already did this with 1 Wavian, but needed a 2nd for a recent northern Nevada trip...

Black Rock/High Rock Canyon, Nevada.

Check out Moonshade or a knockoff. Basically a two tentpole and tarp setup, with suction cup and other options to connect on the vehicle side, regular tent poles to suspend off the ground. Light, and minutes to setup. 1/10th the cost of an awning. I've used cheap and nicer 10' x 10' pop up...

Icon leafs and Eibach Pro Truck measurably improved daily drivability and offroad manners. Tested on 1+ week long trips in desert Oregon and Idaho canyonlands, Utah's Canyonland White Rim Trail and San Rafael Swell and more, all loaded down with 1-2 week camping provisions. I ruled out Fox as I...
