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).

FEATURES:

  • 5.9 liter Cummins TD: This is a GREAT engine and just broken in at 117k. Perma-Cool 40156 HD dual-filter oil cooler.

THE CAMPER

2000 Alpenlite Limited Santa Fe 11' Extended Queen Cab-over, VIN 18115. Well kept and fully loaded with all available options and all in proper working order.

Weekly Recap: FCA hit with record fine as NHTSA crackdown continues

Sat, Aug 1 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slapped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a record fine this week that could reach $105 million. The punishment comes after NHTSA found problems with the automaker's execution of 23 recalls that affect more than 11 million vehicles. The consent agreement, announced Sunday, calls for FCA to pay a $70-million cash fine and requires the company to spend at least $20 million over a three-year period on industry outreach programs and to beef up old recall campaigns. Failure to comply will result in another $15-million fine. FCA also agreed to federal oversight, which includes an independent monitor to oversee the company's recalls. The $70-million cash fine equals a penalty NHTSA levied on Honda in January. "Fiat Chrysler's pattern of poor performance put millions of its customers and the driving public at risk," NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. "This action will provide relief to owners of defective vehicles, will help improve recall performance throughout the auto industry, and gives Fiat Chrysler the opportunity to embrace a proactive safety culture." FCA called the deal a "consensual resolution," but admitted that it "failed to timely provide an effective remedy" during certain recalls. "We are intent on rebuilding our relationship with NHTSA and we embrace the role of public safety advocate," the company said in a statement. The announcement kicked off a busy week for the automaker. NHTSA agreed FCA did not need to recall 4.7 million vehicles after an investigation failed to find defects with a power module used in some Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. A Georgia judge also reduced a civil verdict involving a death in a Jeep Grand Cherokee crash. Amid all of that, the company reported net profit of about 333 million euros, or $364 million in the second quarter on Thursday. OTHER NEWS & NOTES FCA ramps up Hellcat production Despite a decidedly legal and financial week for FCA, there was still time for the performance side of the business to briefly grab the spotlight. The automaker is more than doubling its production of the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats in response to strong demand. The order bank opens the second week of August and production begins in September. FCA will finish up its scheduled 2015 model-year Hellcat builds, and cancel any "unscheduled" versions, though customers will get discounted pricing for 2016.

Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world

Thu, 14 Aug 2014



"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
