    Harbor Freight (type) Trailer Suspensions

    Reading through this thread as I've recently started modifying my old HF 4x8 trailer. This has been a great resource to figure out how to make the trailer better suited for light hauling of my camping gear and kayaks!

    Pros and Cons of a 2005+ Frontier.

    What does SMOD? I'm assuming something something Of Death.. Sounds like the strawberry milkshake problem some 4runners had. Anything else? Most trucks I'm looking at are 05-09ish...

    Pros and Cons of a 2005+ Frontier.

    Hi all, I am in the market for a truck. Looking at some Nissan Frontiers currently. I cannot find much information on them. My GoogleFu has not been working well. I turn to you guys, as people who actually use their trucks would know the nitty gritty! I have a budget around 10k. Looking for...

    PICS OF GROUND TENTS ON TOP OF RACK PLATFORMS

    More difficult, maybe, but you also wouldn't have to deal with slopes, rocky ground etc.

    Backpacking(ish) Cot? (NOT Thermarest)

    I've ditched the cot idea for now. There really is no real support for it, especially for backpacking. I even paper napkin drafted one, and it seemed even that would not be cost effective. I may venture into hammocks even though I said I didn't want to. I've been doing a bunch youtubing on them...

    Post your backpacking loadout/gear list!

    Searched and couldn't find anything specifically to backpacking gear lists. Personally, I'm still putting together a weekend type pack. Day packs, weekenders, year long treks, what do YOU pack?

    How to repair small screw holes in Pelican cases?

    http://www.tapplastics.com/product/repair_products/adhesives_glues_sealants/tap_poly_weld_adhesive/435 I believe this is what you want. I used it to repair a polyethylene Kayak I had. Worked great, was the only sealant that was made for polyethylene that I could find. It works on PPO as well.

    Backpacking(ish) Cot? (NOT Thermarest)

    Hi All. I am looking into purchasing a cot, mostly for camping, but I have a potential backpacking trip coming up (Skyline to the Sea Trail http://www.everytrail.com/guide/skyline-to-the-sea-trail ) and would like to take a cot with me. I have seen the Thermarest...

    Toyota 4.0L Musings

    The 3.0 had a headgasket problem. The 4.0 had some issues as well. There was a big thread on here, and it was with quite a few vehicles that were developing issues at 120-140k.

    Toyota 4.0L Musings

    Do the 4.0's still have head issues? I remember a thread or two on here a couple of years ago about the 4.0's having head/gasket problems.

    Joined the Dark Side...traded a T4R for a YJ (The Black Jeep Build)

    Dropped the Jeep off on Friday to get a rear bumper/tire carrier made. Traded the hard top for the fabrication. I have a garage now, so I'm not so worried about leaving the soft top on all year. I purchased new door pin inserts, what a difference those made!! Once tax return monies show up...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Riveted some threaded inserts for my windshield header bar. Sealed the bar to the windshield, one less wind draft lol.
