    Roof torn off in high winds

    Years ago, yes, in the mountains in Colorado, a guy's overhead camper blew off his pickup truck, he went back, found it upright, wife and two kids inside were just fine. And, yes, it was tied down correctly for the time.

    Charcoal storage bag

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I picked up a heavy-duty waterproof dog food bag years ago for an insanely cheap price, now I know how to use it.

    RWD NPR - Ok, so we're NOT climbing the Andes....

    A couple of things.... The gas 6.0 liter in the US first came out in 2004, I ordered one in fall of 2003 and waited a bit. All US NPRs are auto's last I heard. The thought of avoiding the opaque roof seems a bit short sighted to me. There's ample framing up there to put in a plywood top and...

    WTB - hinged lid storage box - ~40" x ~12" x ~12"

    The boxes made to fit under a flatbed truck are available, you'd likely use them turned 90 degrees, however. Many sizes, and often used on Craigslist and other sources.

    Lag bolt length for tent stakes

    I take it that the above was meant to be lag screws. I've used many brands over the years, and the among the best in my experience has been Spax. Two cautions, however. First, I'd want to use hex heads because they'd be reused for a very long time. I've not had very good luck with reusing the...

    Looking for a 6 lug 1 ton rear axle to replace on my Toyota Sunrader.

    That's a sought after Unicorn in the Toyota world. You might think about finding a Landcruiser 80 axle and doing a swap. It'll take a little figuring, and modding, but bet it could be done. You could even shop for a locked rear, but the open will be somewhat easier to find.

    How do you keep your winch secure?

    Speaking of protecting your bumper, I've wondered if simply welding "fake" fasteners may be discouragement enough. On a bumper mount, you'd need a "bolt" welded on one side, and a threaded nut welded at the proper location on the other. (no guarantees from me) As to stealing the bumper with the...

    Recovery Equipment Recommendations

    Kerensky97: Quote: "A fantastically powerful winch, mounted to solid frame extraction points will tear your body clean off your axles if you don't take the time to do a little digging around bogged wheels with a $15 shovel." I think I understand the point, a shovel is a huge benefit in many...

    WTB: iKamper RTT for an Alaskan Road Trip- NorCal

    free bump Have not been there, but every story I've read tells me that you are not allowed to swim there. The only access is a bus that makes trips to the Arctic Ocean, and you have a few minutes to be there, dip your toes in, and get back to Deadhorse. No private vehicles allowed. Dale

    HL Jacks - Really dangerous?

    I've added another layer of what I'll call "safety" by adding an extension bar to the jack handle. I found some DOM tubing that slides right over the stock handle, drilled a through-hole, put in a replaceable pin, and VIOLA! More control, more leverage, and a handy cheater bar for other...

    Recovery board/bridge from drop sides?

    Trailer Ramps? Trailer ramps are available to bridge some significant weight. Finding the correct length may be problematic, but the product is out there, and available. This is just one example. No experience with this company:http://www.discountramps.com/heavy-duty-trailer-ramps/p/HDTR-H/ Dale

    ARB Twin Compressor just hums, no output

    Why the humming? I'm wondering where the fuse was located. Was it on the positive side between the compressor motor and the battery? Also, was the wire gauge adequate? Heat and use (heat) matter on amps delivered.
