So if no one is watching 'Matt's off road recovery' on YouTube, or any of the channels that they work with like 'tow mater' and all sorts of fun stuff, it's pretty fascinating what people get up to and what it takes to get them out. The biggest issue is the drought, the water is receding and...

So I'm trying to read this disappointment, but I had called this earlier when they started shitcanning all the features that made me want this vehicle (Kitchen with all the trimmings, tent and then all the options are gone and have to be bought extra, and now, the last remaining reason) But...

You know how I know you haven't priced these recently? 25% of the cost, that's laughable, if anything they're more expensive. RTT's that hold 2-3 people are from $3k to 5K unless you just get a tarp and lay it under some sticks.

hah, new 'we've deleted things from your order' email, all the options, spare tires, cross bars, all weather mats. you know, the things you always typically get from a car dealer when you buy a car.

I got my first 'hey take one sooner' and right now there are 5 on there in configs I'm not interested in (missing off-road stuff) So I must admit, I'm becoming less and less enamored withe the R1T. The kitchen/tent was the main reason it had spousal approval factor but now it's fading fast...

Hendrick paid a pretty penny to all the state rep critters they could fund. It will be an uphill battle for some time I'm afraid, as why should our government benefit its citizens when you can get paid to benefit business. We also have no solar HOA laws either, so if your HOA is an idiot and...

I ended up doing this but with a LR Defender. In NC. Both my orders now say 'delivery pending'. I hadn't heard that they won't deliver without a service center in the state, we don't have any and can't thanks to the NADA bought and paid for state legislature. Frustrating, Haven't cancelled...

I'm envious of your model Y drain, one of the reasons I got rid of our X was even with a big warranty job supposedly to fix it, it was still losing 5-7% a week just sitting. I even reset the computer and left it unconnected from anything and in three weeks of sitting in driveway went from 90%...

I'm not surprised, but this pushes my Chevy pre-order up the list. with their 800V charging on twin 400v systems plan, that really makes it appealing as a tower of things. One can hope the delay means that would come from Rivian as well. Seems like a win/win for large batteries. The...

One of the main reasons I ordered the truck was the camp kitchen/tent combo. With no slide either you can't really DIY. I am trying not to but the longer this drags on the less excited and amped up for I am getting.

I evaluated these, they're nice but for the $ the interior is way to much effort to convert around. There are a number of youtube videos and it's like 20 step process to turn the back part into the bed. At the moment the Conqueror 490 UEV is my favorite. No internal bathroom which is fine by...

not much longer if the fed guys have their way, they'll make the loan on cars back up to 8% again. Not getting a R1T/S because of the $7500 potential credit is silly when you're getting a $20k credit IMHO.

Speaking as someone who has lived here for 23 years now... Our state 'general assembly' only meats biennially, and they have a few weeks to do what these days seems like 'a bunch of stupid things' including this gem. Between those two sessions there is a first reading, second reading, third...

Sir if you are on here I'd love to know how much battery that took :D

is it though? have y'all met insurance companies when your car gets wrecked? your car is suddenly worth less than what you paid for it, less than what the market is, and you have to just bend over and take it or hire a lawyer and pay them all the money and still get nothing. Gap insurance...
