    Blue Sea fuse block ignition hot?

    I dug around here a bit, but couldn't find anything on point. What would be the safest way to make a Blue Sea fuse block ignition hot? Could someone provide some directions? I have zero wiring experience and will most likely turn to a buddy to assist me. In my mind I can see wiring the fuse...

    Official OZTENT review

    Your RV-4 with the enclosed "porch" looks great. I have an Oztent "Microfast" MI-4 that I got a couple of years ago, works great but I understand the "MI" series tents have been discontinued.

    Communications Antennas mounted on front bumper

    I had a CB and 2m VHF Antennex mounted on my front TJM with zero issues. I've even seen some trucks running non-groundplane antennas on their bumpers. Currently my VHF antenna is on a hood lip mount on the driver's side; again no problems. I may eventually move it back to the front bumper...

    Hydration Bladders

    Does anyone have a source for hydration bladders larger than 3.0 liters? I'm looking for a bladder in the 6-8 liter range. With the benefit of my morning coffee, I realized I could just carry a second 3 liter bag. However I need to check my new pack to see if that's a possibility. Thanks.

    Which Toyota would you pick?

    Are you interested in a new or used truck? If a used 4Runner is on your list, might I suggest a 3rd Gen with a stock rear E-Locker installed. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the '99 or '00 was the last year for this option.

    What am I doing to give back?

    Sounds like a good plan. Have you ever seen the smile on someone's face and gratitude from a total stranger when you have stopped to help change a tire or jumpstart their battery? Smalls things like that can make a big difference in someone else's life.
