I have an r1 I have had for over 10 years. Still wear it almost daily during the winter. I throw in pack for alpine camping in the summer. Love sleeping in it. The SG Helio is almost identical. Maybe a bit lighter? So far has been great too.
3 man and stove in a Cimarron would be no go unless the 3rd was a kid. I run a SO 6 man tipi with stove for rifle. My buddy and I are both 6'5". Plenty of room. 3rd would be doable but not as comfortable

Looking to upgrade the Conquests after 10 years or so. Is the SFL a noticeable performance bump? Looking at the 10x most likely. Would the SF be a better option?
Oh yeah. She will be doing all prevent maintenance. At least early on. Brakes, oil, filters, diffs, ect. Not to mention some night time tire changes in the driveway.
Hello all. My daughter is about to be driving soon. Looking at vehicles for her. Need something with 4wd, safe and of course reliable. Looking at a rav4 or possible Nissan rogue and pathfinder. 4 runners are nice but out of our budget it looks like. Like to stay under 100k if possible...
