    What onboard Air Compressor do you carry?

    I feel I have to add that the air compressor also feeds the Bag Jack, that will lift the whole side of the ADV in about 2 minutes for a tire change. Much lighter to pack than a big steel floor Jack! Amazon, $135. Can be used off exhaust pipe, but I haven’t tried that.

    What onboard Air Compressor do you carry?

    For me it’s an ARB compressor, already mounted in a tackle box sized box, then an aux battery connector behind drivers seat

    32” Tusk Terrabite Tires

    Fantastic so far! No rubbing at all, I’m up in Drummond Island, MI for 3 days and it’s all rock and mud, I love the tires…they seem to grip well, and if you put those Fox shocks in “marshmallow “ position it’s a pretty smooth ride.

    Expedition ADV Northstar Noise Issue

    Dealership today agreed to install Polaris Quiet Clutch Kit Xsa-24-01 for free, said Polaris recognized the issue and it should be available to all…if you ask. They didn’t bother to tell me…we will see what it does.

    Front vs Rear tire size on Stock Northstar

    33” fits fine! No rubbing on full turn, adds 1.5” of height. I’m an old guy, so I’m not jumping any sand dunes, could take some clearance off of travel, but absolutely nothing noticeable so far.

    Front vs Rear tire size on Stock Northstar

    I couldn't handle the thought of having 1 spare tire to only fit 2 wheels....so I got 5 33"x10"-!5 Terrabites and one new wheel, you can find them on Ebay for about $200 for the wheel, tires were $205 each thru Amazon. Problem solved, just throw more $$ at it.

    Rugged Radios M1 Radio install - Xpedition ADV 5 Northstar

    Ok, GMRS is like 25 preset channels , but it is UHF. Any HAM radio can tune to that specific channel, and it’s all safe to use without a HAM license…which would allow you about a million other frequencies but not everyone has that license. Thanks again!!!!

    Rugged Radios M1 Radio install - Xpedition ADV 5 Northstar

    Our off road groups have shifted from CB to HAM Baofeng radios, in a full size truck we usually need an exterior antenna to get the signal out of the steel cab. Better range, less disturbance, more channels to pick from. Does the handheld Baofeng get out of the EXP ok? I have to test, but I...

    Added Fire Extinguiser

    I used an old winch mount, welded a tab to bottom, and put UniStrut nuts into slotted rails. Big zip ties to contain it, it will pull out from above.

    John, how did you run wiring up to the light? No A pillar covers to hide behind, and trying to figure out how to get the leads from inside to outside on roof, or did you just run it all outside? TIA for any info! Cris B

    2024 Xped ADV NorthStar - Improvement Opportunities

    Oops… all good points, I would rather supply my own tools also… but still a tire iron might be nice to include. Anybody figured a way to jump start the vehicle without removing the front drivers seat to access battery? Maybe two leads with a cutoff switch between?

    2024 Xped ADV NorthStar - Improvement Opportunities

    My door locks are bad too, will try silicone! This is by far the lamest tool set I’ve ever seen in a vehicle of this caliber. No way to remove a tire, 19mm isn’t in there. No jack to help with a tire. One wrench, 8mm & 10 mm. A pair of pliers, really? And the handles give you barely a...

    Fix the brakes

    My Xpedition 5 has pretty lousy brakes, but I usually attribute that to the high water levels in my area in springtime, they are always wet. I’ll pay attention to drier conditions to evaluate further.

    New Owner 2024 Xpedition ADV NorthStar

    Nice that you can license it! In Michigan I’d have to add side mirrors (have them, much needed), turn signals, DOT tires, and a parking brake… why, I don’t know.🤬

    Michigan new owner

    Add a strong ratchet strap, that and an air compressor ( I carry a scuba tank, 3500 lbs of air) fixed the bead problem. Winch lifted the front wheels off the ground to a tree, ratchet strap around tire will spread the bead to the edges. I’ve added a Jack to my kit
