I'm going to float my idea here for feedback. Feel free to comment. When I load out the Tacoma for family adventures, I pack two (2) 1-Gallon sturdy nylon reusable containers in the foot well on the passenger side. For bulk water storage I pack one 7-Gallon Aqua-tainer. Refilling the...

I want to air up my 33" tires as fast as possible using a +12v pump. I don't care about cost, just the best performing one out there. So what's the best? Thanks.

I was tired of not having exactly what I wanted for cargo control. So my 4.5 year old daughter and I set out to fix that. And we did. :) I store the fittings in the back until I need them, and then move them. So easy! They are 12" sections of L-Track secured with 1/4"-20...

I'm appealing to the forum for some help. USB charging is the truck is mandatory for me. However, I've struggled to find an RF quiet USB charging solution. I've tried (6) different off-the-shelf 12v to 5v USB products, all of which produce RF white noise (hiss) which totally destroys my...

I am considering adding a roof vent to my A.R.E. fiberglass truck shell. And I created this thread as a sanity check. Has anyone here done this before? I'd have to cut a hole in the reinforced fiberglass section of the truck shell. I have consulted with A.R.E, the manufacturer and they...

I see SPOT is retailing a new product for tracking purposes only. It retails for about $99. And if my limited brain power understands this rebate correctly, the full cost is returned in the from of a rebate card (up to $100). The rebate appears to be good through 12/31/2014. A subscription...

I was given a Uniden Bearcat 996T digital scanner from a friend. I've been having a ball with it. At first it was not going well because there is a sharp learning curve, but I read a great deal of information and programming it became easier. Using a tool called FreeScan and a subscription...

FYI In the last few days it looks like Yaesu has published the FTM-400DR/DE Brochure. Link to their site. It also looks like the product is available at local ham shops too.

I received my license in April so I'm very much a new ham. I just recently over the last week begun transmitting, and testing the range of the radio. I am constantly learning. I listened to the radio for months before I ever keyed a mic. Anyways, assuming a good line of sight (path) what is...

I was wondering if anyone uses one and any comments they could provide on it. Looks like this: Sells for about $80.00 Retail description reads: The wing vestibule accessory will enhance your awning’s leisure area by providing additional shade, and protection from wind and rain. Two side...

I've been contemplating acquiring (3) smaller solar panels vs. (1) larger solar panel for my rig. I see advantages to each path. Three smaller panels will fit into a more narrow space. Severablilty. The smaller panels can move to power new independent systems and projects. (re-purposing)...

I'm probably going to pickup a pair of these wonderfully comfortable luxurious mattresses for tent camping. I know they're designed to be put on the ground. I took my family to REI to try them and we all liked them. However, I was wondering if anyone had tried one on a cot and how that may...

From another portal member I've discovered that here is a new Kodiak model tent on the market. The triangular windows on the side are new. I'm curous does anyone yet have this model tent and wish to comment on the new windows and how well they the work? Very interesting. Thanks for your...
