Yeah man reach to me for sure!

for real!

Great looking rigs! Thanks for sharing the feedback.

@bloc i agree! This thread (and the sister thread on the 80 forum) has been awesome. I really appreciate the opinions and feedback (well, most of it). Being honest with myself, I think a lot of my motivation has to do more with the nostalgia and charm of the 80. I love the analog feel. But, I...

Looking for a set of the crossbars for a RTT if anyone has a pair they're not using. Thanks! https://www.rhinoadventuregear.com/products/camp-king-industries-cross-bar-kit-for-rtt-and-outback

Yep. Sorry about that

@CT3 some good food for thought. 1. Probably more so the BMW, maybe 75/25? 2. Yes, in theory. I recognize that sometimes as life gets busy that could be a significant annoyance, or even worse a very costly decision. Definitely an important consideration I’m probably not thinking enough...

@residualboulders yeah that’s my concern - would be interested to hear if that opinion changes!

Yep. Cross-posted to the 200 forum as well. Good thoughts, and an interesting proposition there.

OK hear me out. I have a 2016 200 series, 2.5 inch lift on 295/70/R17s, snorkel, onboard air and a rear air locker. 107k miles, runs strong. I would say we do occasional moderate wheeling, plenty of other adventuring, and tow a small square-drop trailer (2500-3000 lbs all loaded) around the...
