Are the diesel heaters loud, that other campers would complain? Looking for options to camp in cold weather 30 degrees or so. Nice review!
@DirtRockTeam 12 сағат бұрын
They are not loud enough to annoy camping neighbors. Some people complain about the ticking sound the fuel pumps make though. We got ours from Amazon 2 years ago as a cheap Chinese diesel heater and have not had that many issues. We also run kerosene in ours so they it won’t carbon up and keep igniting

We love our shift pod. We use similar diesel heater. Been camping out in in the mid 20’s and it did great.

Rv set up works where they aren’t supposed to have coverage. It is in the options when ordering starling. But I think y’all’s maybe a better one. Smaller and still mobile from what I’m seeing. My Starlink maybe bigger in size but still like that smaller set up. And if it works through the hard top or with suction cups we can possibly use it for work like y’all are doing.

Itseems to me that a car manufactor could build a frontend that wouldnt have such a dangerous problem such DEATH WABBLE, i know a lot 4x4s that has never did this,,,,,this caused my jeep to go thru a guard rail and rolled over11 times down an inbankment on the interstate after simply crossing a bridge,,,,very scary moment !
@DirtRockTeam 9 күн бұрын
Any vehicle can have “death wobble” with the right conditions. I personally had it on a 1992 Caviler that had so much mud built up on the inside of one of the front tires it had the balance of the tires off. We have had a handful of Dodge trucks that had ball joints be the issue. There is a thing called the Squarebody shake, that we have also had on a few Squarebodies over the years. There is several factors that go into why it’s is mainly Jeeps doing this. All manufactures are cutting corners on production which in turn means parts and certain areas of parts are getting thinner. Our 2018 Ram Power Wagon has a wallowed out front track bar hole on the frame side as well. But because the material used for that bracket and the steering components is much thicker it is less of an issue than with our Jeeps. "Death wobble" really became an issue with Jeeps when they switched to a coil spring suspension.

We do not sadly. We started out with Rugged Ridge Max Terrian fenders, which we did a video on. One of those fenders blew apart on Holy Cross trail. We switched and did end up buying Rubicon Fender flares from Northridge 4x4 about two years ago and did the fender chop. American Adventure Lab does a phenomenal job with their instructions on how to do it. The lights on it now are quake and we have not had the best of luck with them. They frequently stop working. We have not fully decided if we are going with American Adventure Labs fender chop light or going with Infinite Off-road. Infinite off-road has a no BS un-voidable 25 year warranty on all of their lights.

We are contemplating finding either another cheapish truck bed trailer setup to put a truck bed camper on. Or removing the side boxes on this one to enclose the sides and make it water resistant.

I have a Pecron E3600 power bank with a 3000watt hour expansion battery. I am using the Pecron DC alternator charger and the dc chargers are a great add on. I am trying to go all electric and ditch propane and diesel heaters. I am using stokes voltaic cook system and inductive cooking elements. I also have some a Stokes Kettle similar to a Jet boil but electric. I have have a small portable 600 watt griddle. Instead of a decked drawer system I am using Jet Sleds. Save a couple hundred pounds of weight and can be pulled all the way out and removed when not camping in under a minute. I have 2 large ones on the bottom and 3 medium ones on top of them using some T slot aluminum tracks to support the upper jet sleds. Just myself and the wife so the back seat holds the power banks and a drawer fridge. I like your setup and always thoughtful evaluations. I wheel mostly in Idaho in the spring, summer and fall and in southern Nevada in the winter. Keep up the great content.

I should have made a video but I repaired mine with only a screwdriver. I took the motor off and then took the top part of it off to expose the brushes and springs. I took a screwdriver and gently widened the gap on the metal brackets that hold the springs and brushes in place. This allows the the brushes to move back and forth freely. I was careful not to make the gap too wide. I did this on my truck about a month ago and it is working great, but of course Ram finally is making this recall issue. I think I will stick with my fix even if they come out with a solution.

Sticking with your fix may be the best option right now. Even though they finally announced a recall they parts are not expected to be available until some time January-March 2025. And it is not yet known if they are going to reimburse owners who have already paid out of pocket to fix it.
