    Engel 43 or 34 QT ?

    get the big one....the footprint is about the same for both. I have a norcold 64qt and it is a big old giant PITA at times but I will never go smaller.

    Article: Three-wash system will keep camp dishes clean

    I use a very weak solution of vinager and water in a spray bottle. Just spray everything down prior to use and you are good to go.

    Give me ONE Reason NOT to buy an FZJ80...

    I love the 3FE and have owned, wheeled, rolled, killed them as my only rides for 8+ years. As much as I love it I would not go with it for any real reason other than price or availibility. If you fiind a sweet FJ 80 really cheap it might be worth snapping up but the FZJ is sooooo much nicer. My...

    How to carry more fuel?

    I found a few flatish fuel cells that i will mount where the baby spare used to ride then scab on a skid plate. I need to figure out a filler neck but I have seen some Dodge truck dbl necks that might be finagled into the stock filler opening.

    How to carry more fuel?

    I read a lot about the 80 series extended tanks and I really wonder how much of the OEM sub tank is a "bling" factor. Sure, it is a nice set up if you really need it , but it is almost impossible to get and costs a pile of money. I am going for a 15 gallon RV style off the shelf tank plumbed...

    Organizing the Food/Beer in Your Fridge

    I have never had anything break in my 60 qt Norcold. Even when I rolled 3 times and the fridge came off the track and bounced around the inside of the truck. I replace used items with water bottles and/or lay bottles flat and stack on top of them. I also use rubbermaid containers to hold all...

    Any "really" using electric air pumps for OBA?

    I use the viair, big one, to do everything. Same one from the 62! I really dont want the hassle of a belt drive or the possibel side effects of a belt driven compressor taking a crap under load. My Viair goes out no air--a york goes not belts mybe WP damage etc....

    Which Warn Winch?

    M8000 hands down. I ran it on my 62 and it weighed more than ANY 80! Get a pulley block and a few shackles then learn how to use them. You can make the 8k into a 16k or 32k! Synthetic rope is a good idea but if you wont use the winch that much jsut go with the wire rope. Get the M8 with the...

    Safari Quality Chairs, Table and Basin?

    I hate camp chairs! @ years ago I burned all of mine out of spite. The biggest issue I have is that over the long haul ,3-5 days of use, the supports on just about all of the "standard" camp chairs dig into my thighs. Hate them! I bought a La Fume. Great chair but some issues: expensive (so...

    hot water heater

    this is a great thread; can someone educate me a bit on how the fittings work....I would want a pump running to a spray head with an on/off switch either built in or I can attatch it. I guess this is not the hot shower application! I use what we called int he Army an Aussie shower. It is...
