    Did you end up paying in full for the protank bracket, or did you find a deal somewhere?

    That base camp stove is an amazing value. With that bracket in place @ about $50 it is a joy to cook with. I specially enjoys the fact that you can control the draft air on the burners. That makes a big difference when you crank it @ 10000 feet.

    He he..... you know, when you only fly 60-80 days of the year, you get a lot of time to sweep floors..... I think I log more time on the Tenant floor sweeper, than the tin can made in Wichita KS... :) :) :)

    Second will be mounting the 11 pound Worthington propane bottle on the back of the left side case right above the license plate. Only holdup..... the price of that piece of aluminum bracket...... $110..... a bit steep. Thirdly, all the materials have been gathered for the composite boards to be...

    Second season prep/modding of the Smitty have begun. First is welding a bracket on the the rear swing tire carrier. It will hold two 2 gallons rotopax fuel cannisters. As the front tongue area will soon be fully enclosed in a Carbon Fiber box, I was not real keen on storing fuel in an en closed...

    Cracks on James Baroud Evasion

    There should be no cracks in the gel coat if done right. This is off course assuming no stress impact from either transport, opening or closing. One additional possibility I can think of since my last reply, is a mix of polymer and polyester. If say JB use polymer ( epoxy ) for strength on the...

    The Wife's '15 Ford F150 EcoBoost

    That looks like a sweet machine. We just got our 2018 onefitty as well, and to, love it. Only mods so far, is camper shell in the back, with Yakima round bars, 2.5 inch leveling kit in the front, and Morimoto 2.0 LED headlights. We are also in Grand Junction, and if you have any interest in any...

    That is very clever. When I welded up mine, I was looking for any units that would fit the bill. I never saw this one, but wish I did, as it looks like it fits beautiful. Well done.

    Cracks on James Baroud Evasion

    You should not normally see the spider cracking in gel coat except over time. As this is fairly new I would say that it should not be. If the gel coat is too thin is could crack premature. Thermal coeficiant of expansion can also crack the gel coat as the main layup expands at a different rate...

    I would echo TKH's assessment. The trailer tows so sweet as it sits now. If you shorten the tongue, there is a chance it would fishtail, or any of the other traits of short tongue. This is off course hard to say, as the wheels sit far back, you might be ok, but it is such a sweet ride, I...

    Camp Stereo

    There is something wrong with your setup then. They are supposed to work flawlessly. I have 3 of them, and have not heard any of the things you describe. Audio via bluetooth is respectable now, but with older phones it can be an issue. We run our flip 4's with both samsung galaxy S 5 and...

    I have not gotten the reinforced brackets. But as I have been showing them pictures of my "self fix" not sure I will as I indicated that I would not be installing it, as I consider my fix a better solution. Smitty have been awfully quiet lately though. I would like to point out that you can...

    So I decided to go through with the composite panel build. I will construct the panels from either corrugated or foam board, and make a box to replace the tongue box, and reach all the way back to the main box. I suspect the cost will be under $500. The main build will be featured on my...

    There are several battery system setup explanations a bit earlier in the thread. Have you looked at those to see if any of those would fit your budget. There are model numbers included.

    Camp Stereo

    I use a JBL flip 4 to carry around with me. Have not had it camping with us though, but @$99..... it sounds great. If you need more the charge 4 is fifty more. Sounds better and have 20 hr battery. Were I to bring sound outside the studio that's what I would bring.

    It would also give me a planform to mount a solar panel on. Removable off course. If I do this, I would off course be happy to share all the plans and such. It would be a modular build beginning with plate builds, then bonding plates together to form a box. Easy as playing with Lego. ……… Big...
