    New NATO fuel cans in Atlanta area

    What's the deal with the NATO fuel cans? I have a new 1/4-ton trailer that I'm modifying for camping and am starting to look for fuel and water cans. I want something fairly heavy-duty that doesn't leak and that is easy to use. I don't care much about the guvment's regulations or legality of...

    "EXPEDITION" SHOWER MAT ON THE CHEAP

    ANOTHER GREAT COMPANION TO THE EXPEDITION SHOWER MAT Just today I saw this "companion table" to the "expedition shower mat." You can easily use pressure-treated decking balusters again, and it looks like you could use dowel rods or threaded rod to keep it all together. From the pictures, it...

    "EXPEDITION" SHOWER MAT ON THE CHEAP

    Pictures of do-it-yourself "expedition" shower mat Here are some pics of our homemade "expedition" shower mat (the expedition moniker still makes me chuckle :) ). I just couldn't see paying $120 for a camp shower mat... For the handle, I just wove together pieces of the bungees that...

    "EXPEDITION" SHOWER MAT ON THE CHEAP

    I saw this very neat camping shower mat several weeks ago: http://www.expeditionops.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=170. It was listed for $119, and the price made me start thinking... I had a few left over decking balusters...

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN the "SUBURBAN BRAKE UPGRADE" FOR 1/2-TON CHEVY/GMCs

    Thanks, but I'm just interested in the bolt-on rotor and caliper brake upgrades for a 1/2-ton Chevrolet/GMC truck. Does anyone out there have any part numbers or has anyone successfully upgraded their 2000-2004 model year trucks with the Suburban or 3/4-ton brake parts?

    WHAT ARE THE BEST OPTIONS FOR BRAKE ROTORS FOR A 1/2-TON CHEVROLET Z-71?

    I honestly haven't had any issues with the breaking performance of our now 11 year old truck. Are the "performance" rotors the same diameter as stock rotors off of 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1/2-ton Z71, or are the performance rotors larger? I'm using OEM brake pads as I've never had another set...
