On man...did you have them on CL? I would have snatched them up! Yup, we had 30 inches of snow in Hamilton this week. Shovel, shovel, shovel. I don't have lockers on my Jeep but I do have beadlocks. Airing down to 5 lbs. in 4WD low got me through some impressive snow piles last winter. But, I...

Lol. Thanks for the info yall. I see a shovel and a set of Max Traks in my future. Hope I didn't derail the thread too bad!

What about putting one in the back only?

I did some reading on the Detroit. Certainly inexpensive and sounds too good to be true. I only get 13 MPG with this rig to start with....will a Detroit locker totally pooch the MPG? Will it become dangerous on snow? I'm not gonna be rock crawling. Getting out of mud, snow, and maybe over a...

I have a related question. Please keep in mind that I am in no way an off-roading professional. I'm interested in a locker for AFTER I get stuck...not before. When in deep snow I'm not sure that picking your line can really be counted on since you can't see what is under the snow. Again, I am...

I invested in the Snow Peak Field Barista Set about a year ago because it is small (nesting) and stainless. It's ridiculously expensive...but I use it every morning, camping or home. My coffee is always exactly the same wherever I am and the best part is that I don't have to wait in line at any...

Probably not what you are asking for...but I would suggest you try a stainless steel pot and use some sort of pour-over setup for making coffee. The stainless can be used with any heat source, you don't have to worry if it's perfectly clean or dry, and there is no cleanup involved. All of the...

There ya go! Game on!

I would recommend brakes too. I have two trailers that are between 1500 and 2000 lbs. with brakes and would hesitate to pull either of them without brakes. If your trailer starts to sway...just tap on the brake controller to stop it. People will pull out in front of you when you are pulling...

I suppose it depends on how comfortable you like your daily driver to be. Larger tires equal worsened mileage, loss of power, more drivetrain wear and tear, higher replacement costs, an even more filthy rig, longer braking, and worse steering performance on rutted pavement (the great majority of...

Perhaps a mod should speak up and quote some policy here? Is a trade post required to include an expected trade value....or not? Seems to me like that would be the end of this conversation. Personally, if I were posting something for trade I would include a stated trade value. Then again, I...

I hadn't heard of Kermit before and am now seriously interested in them. What are the dimensions when in "Folding Chairs" mode? I can't find these specs on their site. I am six foot and 260 (maximal fat). Having something that would last for the rest of my camping life (and be comfortable) is...

Lol, I'll give it a try in low tomorrow morning. I have to get it out of there one way or another. Don't want it to be stuck there for a month. When those tires were on my Jeep (with beadlocks) I could have dropped the tires to 5 lbs. and simply strolled over the berm. This has me thinking...

Awesome tip...and thanks for the post. We will give them a try too.

Thanks! When spring gets started a lot of stuff is going to happen to the van in a hurry. Last night we got another 12 inches of snow. I would guess that we have gotten about 30 inches in the last two days (unusual for our location). The city snow plow left a 30 inch high berm across our...

Anyone know how much the acoustic ducting costs or have a link? I'd be interested in it for my next project.

Good info. I'm about to install my Propex in a van. Have you had any issues with Propane freezing in the lines (or regulator) at those temps...or any winter temps?

I don't remember...except that it is not loose. Whatever nut it is, it's fixed into the slat (which is why I was thinking rivnut). I does ratter around in there a bit, but doesn't fall out. Also, to be clear, I did not have to insert them. They arrived within the slat.

We got over 16 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. I had a chance to take the van down town. First I tried to pull out in 2WD. No chance in hell. The snow plows had build a 16 inch packed berm between the van and side walk. 4WD pulled right out into the street. This is the first rig I've owned...

Oh, as to cutting them down...they are just aluminum. A bandsaw or high-quality chop saw (with reducible speed) would cut them nicely. Front Runner sells the Rivnut tool you would need to insert new Rivnuts. Keep in mind that I haven't used that tool...but I'm pretty sure that is what it is...
