The Biggest, Baddest Camper

+ The Biggest, Baddest Truck

= The Ultimate Road Warrior:

***Your 6-wheel-drive rolling Condo***

This rig is loaded (just fill up the fridge!), all tricked out and ready to hit the road. You can pretty much go wherever you want as this combo is equally at home cruising down the interstate, sitting under a palm tree at a full service campground, or off the road and off the grid. Put her in 4x4 and climb dirt roads up a mountain or air out the tires and go chill on a secluded beach (don't try this in an RV!).

THE TRUCK

2001 Dodge 3500 Laramie SLT Quad Cab,VIN 1B7MF33621J217370. Fresh oil change, Transmission service, a/c charge, 2 new tires and nice bright headlights. There are no dents; just your typical scratches and dings – nothing of note except some rust scaling on the bottom of both front doors which is a common occurrence on this vintage of Dodge trucks. There's also a spot on the RF fender that needs touch-up. I'll try to get this minor bodywork done next week; it's just spot-primed with rust reformer right now. There are a couple of weather cracks in the top of the dashboard cover. The LF wheel cover is scraped. This truck did double duty as my work vehicle for a while so the bed is a little beat up but invisible with the camper mounted. I have the tailgate and a few extra accessories such as a RC winch and HitchHaul carrier for the front or rear reciever (great for bikes or firewood).

THE CAMPER

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.
