    Big Dave's M416 Build

    I remember your SN from your days on CO4x4, so I figured you'd know what I was talking about. :-)

    Big Dave's M416 Build

    I don't really notice it all on the trail. Hauled it through the majority of all this: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31254 We also took it on a trip through Georgia Pass, Swan Creek something or other, and Webster Pass. I'd like to take it on some harder trails just...

    Big Dave's M416 Build

    Grabbed some steel for the lid today and started cutting. Got the outer framework all cut before I decided it was time to come in and have a beer. 1.5"x1.5" angle iron will act as a skirt around the lid to keep rain water out, and then 1"x2"x14ga" rectangular tube sits on top of that, with the...

    It'll be a while before it's mounted up. Still need to fab up a lid and rack for the M416.

    Got the big 71x94 Mombasa. No accessories, just the tent. It's sitting out in my truck at work right now, can't get to get home and open it up!

    Tour de Colorado 2009

    My ZJ sits about 107" in WB, and never even came close to having an issue. My crew-cab short box F250 could've made it through all the trails we did, but if we encountered oncoming traffic on a narrow road it could become a major pain.

    Big Dave's M416 Build

    1. Original shocks with mounts relocated to optimize travel 2. Didn't move them, but 35's would put the pintle awful high. Even with 33's it's considerably higher than the hitch on the my ZJ on 35's. 3. I think it's a 62", whatever the narrowest non-custom 3500lb axle that abctrailerparts...

    Camping with a weapon

    So do you stand out in the middle of a field during thunderstorms then or do you seek shelter? Some call it paranoid, I call it prepared.

    Big Dave's M416 Build

    Just ordered a Mombasa 3-man tent for this. Need to fab up a lid to mount it to as well.

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    The title of this thread and the current pricing on these fridges also proves the "higher price" theory.

    Camping Labs RTT vs. Eezi Awn etc

    I know you mentioned looking to buy a used one, which is good, cuz the CampingLab's won't be available new until later this summer.

    Camping with a weapon

    Pretty much always take mine w/ me. Came a lot closer than I'd like to actually needing it on 2 trips last summer. In CO open carry is pretty much accepted when you get off the beaten path, and we have very good laws around carrying in a vehicle. Make sure you are in accordance with all local...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    It also has not been confirmed that the issue is with the fridge itself, so I wouldn't be jumping the gun so soon.

    http://www.trdparts4u.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=-8335 http://www.compactcampingconcepts.com/mombasaprodpage.htm Seems to be a whole bunch of different tents out there that look to be about identical, with a wide range of prices.
