Not complicated as long as you have room to retract. Keep in mind that the 2" receiver tube needs to be mounted in such a way that it is able to withstand the additional force from the lever action from the longer tongue. Here's how we do it in special applications.

I too brewed beer heavily for several years. I got started with an extract kit out of the back of Popular Mechanics and eventually graduated to all grain and building a 1/2 barrel system. The book that guided me down the path was The Complete Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Pappazian. The book has...

Obviously I am a bit jaded but like my on board AT water tank heat exchanger the best. It is very simple to use, reliable and effective. My next best favorite for utility, simplicity, and price is the Zodi Extreme with the tap changed to an on demand sprayer. I hate their stove solution though...

Awesome job Austin! Sounds like the Remote Medical training came in handy, no substitutes for being prepared.

Nice looking MJ! Are rare truck indeed and yours shows the love.

I have experience with 4 shelter models. The first shelter I had was a Zodi hut. I did not like it because in the slightest breeze it would start to collapse around you and of course that was fun while taking a shower. I can be staked at the corners but has no provision for guy lines. It has no...

Jim, I put a 4.6 stroker in my MJ built by Golen Engine Service. The power increase has been quite satisfactory for all the additional weight in my MJ rendering more usable power than supercharger I had tried previously. The return to near stock fuel efficiency (16 mpg) has extended my range...

Sold! Sold!

There is a design difference between the Flippac and the Habitat. The Habitat has hard ceiling above the passengers when closed whereas the Flippac has a fabric canopy that supports the fabric when closed. Water ingress through the hatch into the passenger compartment is not expected and has not...

Mike, we're making a parts run to SoCal next week. Let me know where you'd like to meet.

Price reduction! We are dropping the price on this set of 5 tires to $750 for the set. We are hurting for space here at the shop and they've got to go.. They are being offered here on Portal first. If we have no takers they will go on CL next week.

Haha! We couldn't get the torsional rated duct tape, it was all bought up before the Baja 1000.

You may want to look into the electric actuators that 1speed used in his trailer build. He did a fair amount of research on them before choosing and I understand he is happy with them. His trailer build is similar to your 2nd concept His thread is here...

We had a delay getting our parts from the forge so the torsion springs and the heat treated hinges are still pending. Some molded parts have been produced for the shells and are waiting for the forged parts to make them complete. We simply do not have enough room to make all the molded parts and...

The sole part that failed and caused a chain reaction was the SS braided line from the remote oil reservoir to the Fox coil over on the passenger side. Once the coil over no longer had any dampening, other parts started to get beat to death. What was omitted from the article was that the drivers...

Berbere. It's a staple spice made of a combination of 15-20 spices that is used in Ethiopian food. It is spicy hot, smoky, flavorful and adds a bottom note to your meat, beans, potatoes, soups, eggs...etc. I use it in cooking and make my own hot sauce from it.

It is no problem through the rear passenger door on the JK Habitat with the seat folded flat. In fact easier than if the access were through the rear due to the very small area between the rear roll bar and the rear of the shell.

Where's the roll bar?
