I like the idea of the front runner bag because it's designed to be on the exterior of the vehicle and handle the wind load. $150 is a little steeper than what I was budgeting. I don't know how cheaper waterproof bags would handle the wind whip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am looking for a waterproof bag that i can store several bundles of firewood in. I would prefer a soft container like a large duffle bag of sorts. I want it waterproof so that I can store it at the front of my roof rack, right behind the fairing. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's almost 11" tall. I don't have any pictures of the bottom but there is no need for a full sheet on the bottom. As far as 1x2s, I put one at the front, one at the back, and two spaces in the middle. On a side note, I have to rebuild it already. The slides were half my cost but there are...

Yes, lots on long travel options for them that are affordable. Easy to work on, good drivetrain (5.4 2v has 350 ft/lb, 9.75 rear, 4r70w trans, and BG t-case. Stock, they have a torsion bar front suspension, so they would be the ideal candidate for a LT kit like Dixon brothers racing offers...

5k? 2003 f150. 5.4 2v-very reliable, 03 has updated heads so no spark plug issues. Torquey engine. Good factory LS. Affordable long travel kits. Tons of after market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would go the direction of getting an 11-14' 5.0 F150 in the wheelbase of your choice and build the suspension to your liking. For reference, an 11' F150 (5.0/4x4) with 100,000 miles can be found for under $20,000 all day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's the tires. I rode around this weekend with my friend with his 1500 z71 with duratracs. For being a praised "winter" tire, they were terrible on winter street conditions. He had to stay in AWD just to leave stop signs. Offroad in the snow, they are good. On the street with snow, they...

Thanks. It's not a hard task by any means, pending your workspace and experience with carpentry tools Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From this To this. I am pretty happy with it considering o built it on my back fire escape, mainly at night, after work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have their small hatchet for camping and love it. For some reason though, I can't get over the heritage idea of wanting a wooden handle for something like this though. Any suggestions? Nice, well-designed forged wedges are expensive.... to the tune of $100 or more which I think is crazy. I...

Thanks for the replies everyone. To get more specific, I would prefer a wooden handle. I haven't had an axe, maul, or sledge with a synthetic handle that was as good of a combo as wood (feeling/balance combined with controlling vibration). Are splitting axes a relatively modern development as...

I need to get a splitting maul. I am 25 and at that point where I am making "life" tool purchases. Mainly ones that are quality and will last compared to borrowing tools or buying the cheapest, one-time use brands. I was looking for an 8lb maul for under $100. Any suggestions? Sent from my...

If you haven't picked tires yet, I will 100% recommend the cooper st/maxx over the wildpeak AT3W. I've had both and the st/maxx is the best all-around tire I've had. I currently have the AT3W and with 6000 miles on them, they are going in the trash. All 4 out of round, and Falken won't replace...

I haven't finished wiring them in the vehicle. The supplied harness (while very good quality) requires a little expending since they are roof mounted. I think the light-output/$ is very affordable compared to rigid, ARB or Baja designs. Though they won't release any advertised lumens... This is...
