Trying to decide between RoadTrip LXE and the NXT 300. Simple uses, backyard grilling/tailgates. Any opinions?

I went with the NXT 300. I liked the fact that it could stand on its end, which I don't believe the RoadTrip does. I also liked the locks on the lid versus the one on the Roadtrip. I cooked up a feast for my daughter's volleyball team and their families. Awesome grill.

I bought this for a small patio grill. It would be easy to transport. I would go with the NXT 300. Also, all of the issues around the wheels and burner height have been fixed based on my experience putting it together and using it for the first time last weekend.

I would recommend the NXT 300, because the RoadTrip LXE has two burners for cooking leaving a cool area in between the two burners. NXT 300 has a length of burner that connects the two burners together, meaning more heat and more importantly consistent heat. Also I would say that the RoadTrip NXT 300 is not worth the extra money for the under glow lighting unless you are looking for that particular color

I got NXT 300. Great portable grill. I'm not always mobile so appreciate tve extra grill space for home BBQs

Jason, I have the NXT 300 and it is really great- large cooking area and really quick. down side - it is not as compact and quick to set up as LXE. But it does my family of 5 on week long camping trips

The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl . So if you bought a velineon system as a upgrade , you have spent more money than if you would have just bought the vxl to start with . I personally would recommend looking into castle creations brushless system instead . Its almost 100 dollars cheaper and you can get a few different power opinions. I up graded my daughters 4x4 stampede to a 3900kv and its geared for bashing . That system pushes it easily to the 45 mph on a 2s 5000mah 20c battery . The 3350 velineon system will push close to 40 mph on the same battery! I hope this helps you out !

thx, I guess i'll stick with 540TM :-) I am upgrading from old Garmin that had no map updates and traffic and hopefully it would be worth it at this price. I did use one of the TOM TOM models (smaller one) for a 2600 miles trip in the west coast and routing was really good.

It would be easier to go to broilkingbbq.com and compare the 2 grills. The XL has more features.

The Weber SJ Gold can be sealed for travel either pre or post cooking (although if its post you'll need for it to cool!)It's lighter than the Lodge, and Weber grills last f-o-r-e-v-e-r if you take reasonable care of them.And the Lodge's solid cast iron construction means that the legs can get hot.Either one will cook well.If you're going to leave it in one place it might be a contest but if you're going to take it anywhere there is really no competition.

I would suggest the Razor Dune Buggy or Razor Dirt Quad if you prefer off road terrain.

Hello Sue, Yes I have read those reviews myself and have been somewhat perplexed by them. Yes it did make me apprehensive before I replace my Zumo 550 due to needing more memory for internal maps. Thus far my immediate riding group has found the 665 to be near flawless, let me explain. My immediate group consists of a Honda's ST 1300, GL 1800 Trike conversion & myself a GL1800 Goldwing, we are VERY serious riders. Two of us have been to all 4 corners of the USA in the last 12 months, my next oil change is 167,500 miles, just finished the 250,000 mile threshold with my last Goldwing and this one. All of us have the 665 with combined miles using the 665 of around 100,000. Today it is fantastic, not suffering all of the ills and discontent that have been posted. Big screen that can be custom configured in sooooo many ways to suit yourself, it is incredible, mp3 capacity off the chart. I have had as many as 1400 +/- music files on the storage card for listening. These units sit on the handle bars taking a daily beating in the sun through Death Valley or in the pouring rain of north east Maine. Honestly don't know what these reviewers want or are experiencing? No I am not a cheerleader for Garmin, but for the task these units are asked to complete, nothing else will work. If we had to change something, we would like the screen a bit brighter, in harsh sunlight you have to shade the screen with your hand. Not an uncommon problem with many screens though, I use the Glare Stomper Shade sold very cheap, helps a bunch. My Zumo 550 took brutal punishment, survived hurricane Irene, Death Valley and sooooo much more, the 665 shows no difference in performance. Best of success.

The nuwave and duxtop are similar devices. If you use them like I do as ordinary cooktops I would use the duxtop. If you have specific uses for them maybe the nuwave would be better.

Thank you all for taking the time to help me out with this. i have decided to just belly up the extra money and but an actual burner. 110000 BTU and a wide base should suit me well. thanks again for all of your advice.

The tent would be better. I would reserve this tent for overnight hikes. If your serious about a long distant hike consider getting a bivy. They are lighter and better.

Personally, I have found the portable kitchen outdoor grill the perfect size for a family of 4 or 5 people. It cooks great and uses less charcoal. A great alternative is the 22 inch Old Smokey outdoor grill. It's not quite as pricey. Just be sure and get the 22 inch grill.

Puxzled mine works just fine. Do you unzipp it all the way and roll it completely out? If it dose not work it could be the wrong one they sent you or it could have bern made wrong. My roadtrip lxe grill fits just great with a little room to spare. Try adjusting it. If it still dose not work you may have to send it back. Hope this helps.

I will definitely recommend Nuvi 370 over 270 because of several reasons. Text to speech is definitely very helpful believe me I have a Nuvi 200 which doesnot speak street names, which is sometimes very frustrating. I have missed turns which were very close to each other. Name of the street while driving in busy streets is surely very helpful. This would be even more helpful especially in Europe. Other features are worth the extra $70-$80. Live traffic, Bluetooth are amongst them. I will be buying 370 for my Europe trip pretty soon, just looking for the good price.

I would definitely get a sye. Then you can just use a front XJ drive shaft for the rear. I used the hack n tap style sye and picked up a used front drive shaft from the junk yard. I've been wheeling it for about a year now with no vibes or problems. Ideally I would have used a new drive shaft and rebuilt my transfer case with a sye but I couldn't justify the extra money.

It's pretty nice. My igniter stopped working after a while tho. Bout 4 months prolly. Id go with a vector torch if your looking to spend a lil more money and I think they have lifetime guarantee and replace if it breaks. Not positive tho.

The Lodge LGP3 is the only one I have. Used it a few times, I like it! Advantage is you can use it on the BBQ grill as well, no wooden handle that will burn or deteriorate. Just be sure to use a good quality oven mitt/glove if using it on the BBQ.

I like the 20-lb tank (typical grill size). It is a lot to lug around, but you can go through it fast. There is a version of the torch with a backpack tank holder, which would be convenient, but I'm too cheap to spring for that.
