    Dean Mud Terrian SXTs 285/75/16

    I've put about 30k on them. I'm not upset with how long they have lasted, just dissapointed with their performance from the start. I was also disspointed with Les Shwab. I've run a lot of tires in my lifetime and never had the rubber on the sidewalls crack within 5 years, let alone in less...

    Dean Mud Terrian SXTs 285/75/16

    I have run the Dean SXT's in 255/85/16 for almost 5 years now. They will need replacing this fall. After less than a year the side walls started cracking. Les Shwab wouldn't do anything about it so I was stuck. In all honesty I will be glad to be rid of them. They have a really hard rubber...

    New smaller spot!

    I had it in my hands at the OR show and talked for an hour or so with the guy that said he did the redesign on it. It is a lot smaller and with the case solve the crappy clip issue with the original. He kind of hohummed about adding a screen to it and User GPS info. It would be a no brainer...

    Sat Phone Rental

    I rent a Sat phone every year for two weeks for my float trips in Alaska. Some place out of florida. They are nice to have to talk a few times with the wife and kids. This year we had a diabetic on the trip who started to have issues so we called his doctor and adjusted his meds over the...

    Engel Fridges - MT-45 vs MR040

    I've only had my MT45 for a month or so, but man it's nice. I would bet no matter what you buy your going to be like a puppy with two tails.(excited). I picked mine because of a one time deal I got on it. I could have bought the MR040 at the same time but wasn't thrilled with the plastic...

    Aluminum or fiberglass canoe?

    I honestly would not rule out an aluminum canoe. I own two old Grummans. Almost indestructable. If you leave them out in the weather for years they will oxidize and be messy, but even though mine are from the 70's they don't put off much black. If your going with something other than Aluminum...

    Military Spec Freezer/Fridges for $750 ea

    How I do love a cat fight. Usually there are two cats fighting, but in this case one cat chasing his tail around in circles is just as fun. Cool fridges though.

    80 Price Point

    So i paid $10k two years ago with 40k more miles. I'd probably pony $10k for it. It's not like they make them anymore and with 100k miles on it, it is still a spring chicken. The 93 I bought years ago had 200k miles on it and I put another 80k on it with only a few small issues. See if he'll...

    80 Price Point

    What year/condition. I bought my 97 40th & lockers with 140k on it two years ago for close to $10k. I saw another one almost identical a few months ago for $8500.

    Drifta Kitchen might be coming here

    With the building market tanked here in the US I would think there are cabinet shops with full CNC capability that could whip these things out. I'm in the same situation as Luke in that I am having a product made in Australia and they don't have half the parts needed over there. It is far...

    making an Engel DC powercord?

    The cord should be here today or tomarrow. I'll stop by when you get settled and pick up a hingelock. Turns out the foul smelling seal on the Engel cooler I bought last year is now being recognized as a product issue and they are sending me a new one of those as well. I guess I got one of the...

    making an Engel DC powercord?

    Big thanks to Gary in Wasatch Cruisers for lending me his power cord. After adjusting the dial too high and having partly frozen milk the first day everything was great. I'm going to have to pick up one of those retainers for the hinge though. The fridge was the most successful part of the trip...

    Utah area RTT RENTAL???

    Several guys in Wasatch Cruisers own them, but I don't know of anyone that rents them out. Kurt from Cruiser Outfitters sells them but he is in Australia right now. Maybe hit up Paul at Equipt. I doubt he rents them, but he might be able to point you in the right direction. Great guy to work...

    California State Park Closures

    funny. When I lived up north of San Fran I was handed a paper by a hippi outside a comune. I was not aware that Marijoe was actually the tree of life in the Bible. 12 fruits...smoke it, eat it, make paper, make clothes, make ink, smoke it, make TP, smoke it, smoke it, smoke it, smoke it...

    Backpacking stoves?

    We use two jetboils to cook for a group of 7 on our Alaskan float trips. We mainly eat fish which we cook over a fire, but the first two meals of the day are made up of Cup of noodle soups and MountianHouse meals. 2 cups of boiling water in like 3 minutes, you can make a lot of freeze dried...

    making an Engel DC powercord?

    Yeah--I hadn't loooked too close at the fridge yet and was thinking that there was just one plug outlet. I definitely don't think pluggin 12V DC into the 120v AC would be kind to the fridge. I'd have to fill it with ice and make a humming noise the whole time I was driving just to make my wife...

    making an Engel DC powercord?

    Tell me if I'm thining right on this. If I take two wires with a 10amp fuse on the + from the battery to the back of my rig and put a stardard female 110v cord end on it (even though it is 12v DC), couldn't I attach the 110v Engel powercord to that? I believe I read that the MT45 Auto senses...

    California State Park Closures

    The report on a few of the pecifics that I heard stated that you guys in California are screwed. Yes the Big 5 may have come to some agreements, but most of the issues were resolved with very questionable accounting. Your fiscal year ends in June and they are bumping the last paycheck of the...
