    1988 sportsmobile / quigley for trade

    Erm...well...I'm sorry for behaving like an insolent child in this thread. Some members were picking on others and that irritated me. This isn't an excuse, but it is an explanation. Sometimes I need to remember that I am not a member of the "World Police". Is a trade thread the end of the world...

    Mounting a Baroud to Front Runner Slimline II

    Disregard. Made my own today.

    Trasharoo alternatives

    Anyone here actually tried the Howling Moon version? The size and material look good for my needs, but I'd like to make sure that there is some way to hang a trashbag in it (it has a zipper on the lid...so not sure if clips will work).

    Front runner rack on a snugtop?

    I know that Front runner used to make an adapter specifically to mount a Slimline II rack to non-Front Runner load bars. Here are a few parts that might solve your issue. https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/roof-racks/front-runner-inter-slat-bracket.html (This one looks like it could be...

    Starting making some brackets to mount the Baroud RTT directly to the slats in the Front Runner Slimline II this afternoon. Front Runner wants $100.00 for four brackets (that have a bunch of extra doodads I don't need). Too much money. Besides, I want six brackets. The local Fastenal store was...

    Trasharoo alternatives

    Hoping to bump this thread. I pulled out my Trasharoo today and found that one of the plastic buckles is broken. :( I could jury-rig it together, but it's in rough shape. The Howling Moon bin looks like it's the right size for me and the price isn't too bad. Anyone have one? How has it held up...

    RTT, JB Discovery Space XXL, AH Columbus Variant or Roost?

    I bought a standard size JB Espace and have been using it for three years. My thoughts: Ryn at OK4WD was super responsive with questions, had what I wanted in stock, and shipped it immediately. It was a demo model and I got a really good deal. The only warranty issue I've had is that I lost the...

    Trailer Brakes?

    One of my trailers was built by Martyn & Co., which reminded me of something. The Chaser has 10 inch brakes (I think), and when you apply the trailer brake it will lock up the wheels when calibrating. The camper trailer has a torsion axle and 7 inch brakes, and they will not lock up no matter...

    Mounting a Baroud to Front Runner Slimline II

    Hi Yall, I am looking for James Baroud mounting brackets that are 3.5 inches wide (between the threaded posts). I see that Front Runner now sells them, but a set of four for $100.00 is just ridiculous. Yes, the Front Runner kit has a few different adapters for Autohome/Baroud and some height...

    Continued... Prepping the bottom of the passenger-side upright took a bit longer because I had to replicate the freehand voodoo on the drivers-side upright. Had to drill a hole. But I pooched it on the first try. The hole wasn't centered and after a bit of cursing, I simply cut the upright...

    Nice day today, so I decide to finish the rear rack and start the supports for the long rack. Not exciting, but I finished torquing everything on the Alta rack and put the spare back on. Solid as ever. So, as you can see the front overhang on the rack is drooping a bit. It would probably be...

    Who's crying? If you had read the thread, you will see that I suggested that a Mod make a ruling, and one did. Crisis resolved. Now, If you happen to think that zimm should be permitted to run his childish mouth at every person that doesn't live in zimm-world without opposition, just say so...

    Zimm, I think you have that rarest of magical abilities....reading a sentence and injecting imaginary nonsense into the meaning. That's what makes you so entertaining. Perhaps you are a lawyer? Maybe a car salesman? Feel free to set me straight on this. That said, I don't disagree with any...

    1988 sportsmobile / quigley for trade

    Sure I could. Couple of problems with that though. I'm not in the market for a van. I don't attempt to obtain items that are not for sale. I don't haggle. I don't "do all the work" when I'm in the market for gear. And, I certainly don't pay "market value" for used cars. Ever. Period. If it's...
