    Jerry cans

    Just got to figure a way to get them across the border. My inlaws live in London, ON...I'm thinking of asking FIL to order some that we'll pick up at Christmas...

    Tire Changing on a Full Size Truck

    An 5-7 ton hydraulic bottle jack from a reputable manufacturer. You don't have to lift the whole truck, not even 1/2 of it but thats the number I use, and add some safety margin. You could probably get by with a 3-ton but they might not have sufficient lift range.

    Diesel News: POST HERE

    How many of them would pass the crash testing, or emissions testing, in the US? It kind of sucks when competing federal policy keeps us dependent on foreign oil.

    Wallets

    I've been using one of these since 1990: http://www.ghurka.com/browse/store_product.jsp?p=P1114&c=34&s=-1&ss=-1&cat_viewed=ACCESSORIES I'm actually on my second, I wore out the first one around 2002 and replaced it. The replacement is still looking good and going strong. These are more...

    Yeah - a year after a trazillion dollar bailout, both GMC and Dodge have sales that are down 45% or more. Ford is down 5% for the same time period.... Thanks, but my next vehicle purchase will be a F350SD / PSD

    What do you use to protect your investment?

    Near distances I use a Glock 21SF. Intermediate, an AR-15. Long, an M14 and very long a Barrett. Oh, for my cameras? I keep them in a padded bag. If I kept them in a Pelican, I'd never take any pictures.

    SAR City 2009

    I've been to a bunch of them - when I lived in California I'd pretty much go every year, and I presented a few classes over the years. I haven't gone since 2004 so things may have changed a bit. They're a blast. Very loosely organized, a couple dozen different things going on at the same...

    Exped Storage Boxes

    They'll smell the food odors transfered from handling it...and if a bear can rip apart a welded steel trash can, I doubt a pelican case will slow them down.

    Got A New Gun .38 S&W

    Starting where? Bad grip angle, large grip (and it was supposed to be smaller than a 1911, so women could fire it), bad design (exactly what problem is a double-action semiauto supposed to solve?), inadequate cartridge (which is why the SpecOps and USMC are switching back to .45ACP), bad frame...

    Tire repair kits, should I carry one?

    Good thread! How well do the rubber components hold up in heat and cold?

    Got A New Gun .38 S&W

    Nice. Model 10? I carried one for a bit (AKA the M&P) in the Air Force. Finally got a M1911, and then an M9(POS)

    24v vehicle with 12v accessories

    Just set up a 12vdc buss (using a Blue Sea fuse block, rigrunner, whatever) and wire your 12vdc items to it off one of the batteries. Unless you're running a winch or refrigerator off 12v the added draw won't matter much. I used to have a military M1009 CUCV Blazer with a truly weird...

    Too bad they have to use urea injection for smog...and there is going to be close to ZERO room under the hood for anything else - even worse than the current engines.

    AR-7 Collapsable .22 Rifle

    It does if it's in it's case, which is foam lined.

    AR-7 Collapsable .22 Rifle

    If you use anything other than the standard AR-7 magazine (it's not a clip) then you lose the theoretical advantage of having everything store in the stock. Likewise, if you want to have two magazines, you need to keep the spare somewhere else.
