    Roof Top Tent and the Uncomfortable Mattress

    No problem. It only adds 1/2" and I didn't even notice any difference when I folded it.

    Roof Top Tent and the Uncomfortable Mattress

    This came in last week and I installed it this weekend. I should have ordered the California King size as it was shorter than I expected. No big problem. I ended up installing it under the Eezi-Awn mattress and I cut it where the floor folds. I took a 15 minute nap in my driveway and it feels...

    Some of my customers are taking part in this. Shane and Bob from Abacus Plumbing told me yesterday they were helping out. I would, but I just did a cleanup last weekend and now it's time for some much needed truck maintainance.

    I am a hunter, yet I do not like to kill animals

    I see the beauty of the animal and spend a few minutes contemplating it before I clean it and pack it out. Even birds. Then I savor and enjoy the wonderful, unprocessed, undrugged, untortured meat that I have (usually) hiked many miles to gather and carry back to my truck. For me it's about the...

    Welding Equipment - questions/recommendations?

    I also have an Oxy/Acetyline rig for cutting and heating/forging and in a pinch, welding. A plasma can make a cleaner cut if you're steady, but a torch is a lot cheaper and can make a pretty nice cut also. If you know how to adjust it.

    Welding Equipment - questions/recommendations?

    I really like my Miller DVI (Dual Voltage Input) it has 2 different plugs for 230v or 120v. The 120v option is nice for small gauge and for home projects I can drag an extension cord anywhere around the yard and weld wherever. I've welded up to 1/2" with it and as small as 16ga sheet metal (it's...

    My New (and improved!) Zodi Extreme Camp Shower (lots of pics)

    Nice job! I wish I had a lathe. I haven't used one in 20 years, but always enjoyed working with them and milling machines.

    Which Plywood for a Load Space Tiedown floor?

    I used some stuff thats 3/4" 7 ply marine grade. It was a bit pricey and has held up to a lot of abuse the last 2-3 years. And like Phil said, use big fender washers to spread the stress out.

    What are lockers??

    Gooseboy Since you're a teenager who doesn't yet have a vehicle, I would suggest finding a family member who might be into cars/trucks and hook up with them for a little mechanical instruction. If you don't have that option, try to find a local offroad club. If they are worth knowing, they...

    What are lockers??

    Jamie pretty well covered it. My personal opinion is to learn to wheel and learn you vehicles capabilities WITHOUT lockers. After you learn a bit and develop some driving skill, then if you feel the need (for your type of offroading) add lockers later. Lockers are all about traction, but if...

    Do you guys have a piece of legendary gear?

    I never leave town without my Zippo. It's the Zippo I bought when I was on my ship. It's all brass and engraved with my ship and insignia. I've had it since 1991. I put it in the mail and sent it to Zippo once, nearly ten years ago, for repair. You send it to the address on the bottom of the...
