I am relatively new here but noticed very little activity relative to other forums I have created or am a member of. So its good the hear that changes that need to be made are going to happen. With some talented coding old PHP to new PHP shouldn't be problem, but makes sense to sell and focus on...

I personally would sell both and get something newer and more reliable if I was to go on the road. But you are right, Vanlife wont be cheaper with your current costs.  I will say this, living on the road isn't that physically taxing and to be honest i find i have way more energy out on the...

The [/size]Fiat Doblo with only 1500lb weight capacity really limits it to a passenger vehicle, even with the upgrade to 2000lb. It must be super slow with anything in it, but that gas mileage is just insane. [/font][/color]

Its nice driving in the mountains where you can get better MPG.

The Ford transit is a newer popular one. Its probably the way I would go if I ever decide my 4Runner is not enough.

Some reason I don't quite believe that poll.  But its enviable people will become more transient due to financial and environmental reasons. We already see it with people trying to get away from the high tax states and devastation in certain areas. And where there are people, government will...

They also sell cheap top tier gas. Its the one reason I am a member besides the occasional bulk order. The Costco in CT was at 2.65 last week for regular.

Only thing I would want to do is get back to the USA. So all I need to be able to say is "please help me get to the US embassy"

Living/Camping out of my 4Runner space is very limited so I simply made a platform to level out the back and created 2 slide out tables. Great for cooking and just hanging out. Plus my hatch provides overhead cover. Super cheap and takes no space.  Finished \/ Cooking time. \/ Before i...

Old tread but if you will be driving on sand ideally have a 4WD vehicle and be prepared. Bring a shovel, air compressor for airing down/up and more importantly a set of Maxtrax ramps. I invested in a set of Maxtrax since I travel alone and its the simplest thing to add that can be used for a...

I got a set of C rated Goodyear Duratracs for my 4Runner. I wouldn't reamend E rated tires unless its a full size truck or your really off roading. Just such a heavy tire and wayyy overkill. More strain on the drivetrain and decreases MPG...  Also Michelin is a French company and most tires...

There is inherent risks when sleeping in your vehicle or going anywhere you don't know. That's why layers of protection is key. From an alarm system in your vehicle to cameras with warning signs or parking under a light. And of course items to defend your self. You cant anticipate every...

Yes, if you have something giving off carbon monoxide in the vehicle there will be a risk if you don't have the windows open a bit.  If you are getting mosquitoes in the car with the window open a crack you can cover the opening with mosquito netting or normal house screening.  Noida why this...

Well, that's $263 a month over 1.5 years of driving if it goes till the warranty is out. Pretty low to average price for a car per month anyway. It sounds like they got the battery figured out, and the car being mint certainly adds value if you had to replace the battery again. I just worry...

It is crazy right now. I can sell my 2019 4Runner i bought new for the same price i bought it for (if not more) and it now has 45k miles.

Any car shop can do it for you. It should be cheap to do.  I don't think there are any laws on how you mount it so you could even double sided tape it to your front bumper. lol

The one i use now is the BlackVue 650 dash cam, its about 7 years old. Not the cheapest dash cam, so a great quality alternative would be the VIOFO A129 duel. Or any VIOFO.  The alarm is made by DEI who makes Python and Viper alarm systems. More specifically i have a very old version of...

Levels of protection are always key.  Deter, Warn, Defend.  I run a dashcam that is motion activated, on my sun visor i have a warning sticker i flip down warning people video/audio is being recorded.  I also have a car alarm that will also remotely notify me through my key fob/Phone if...

Taping out the area is a good idea.  I did a few CAD floor plans and drawings that seem to work. Coincidentally the area i work in most of my day is 5x8, the area i eat at and watch TV on the couch is 5x8, even the area i sleep is close to 5x8. lol

The plan is to live out of the 5x8 since the 4Runner alone is not enough space to live out of long term comfortably. The 4Runner would be used for storage and tow vehicle with the 5x8 as bed, kitchen and rainy day home.  I currently fit everything i need in my ~90 cubic ft area of my 4Runner...
