I bought a couple pieces at my local upholstery shop years ago- 1 1/2 " of really soft foam, and 3" of denser foam, and had them glue it together. It's 4 1/2 X 48 X72 and it's like sleeping at home. The soft foam has some give, and the dense foam provides support as needed by my large frame.

The place you mount your antenna has a bit to do with which kind you buy. Walcott cb is a great place to buy components if you don't have a store locally. Try to stay out of the truck stops unless they have some who knows about CB radio, and beware of anyone who offers to "tune" your radio for...

I just got my Auto Canopy today. Nothing fancy, just a nice quality awning. Sewing is nice, and the canvas is nicer than I expected for $90. I've installed a couple footman loops at the rear of the camper to thread a nice strap to (the straps that come with are a little light for my comfort) and...

Very nice write up. Have you done this before and tested the strength of your work? I'll be trying this, soon.

You're right on the money. The 3/4 and 1 ton models have them, the 1/2 ton models don't. EDIT: I come hat in hand to admit I'm wrong. After doing replacing my ball joints two days ago, I can tell y'all that the D44 TTB DOES have adjustable steering stops, They just don't offer much more...

If I HAD to swap, I'd go with the 4.9, but the better choice for power is a 5.8, and it's a pretty easy swap. I doubt I'd waste money or time swapping in another 5.0 unless I had one, as you do. I have a 4.9 in my 84 and it works very well for me, gets 15 mpg on the highway/12 city/offroad...

I use 2 gallon Ziplock freezer bags- they hold one each. They get stored in a wood box I built for them.

When are you taking orders for the third one?

Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm away from syphilization, I'll take two. Nearer, I leave the extra at home. I also have a plug kit a patch kit, and a spare inner tube.

I dunno, but the wood shop at the local Public High school has one.....

Ditto. They are the plastic ones, http://www.organize.com/med16cupmods.html and they work great. I've also seen the glass ones, but I'm a little nervous about having glass on a trip.

Nowhere if you unhook the injector. Naturally, if you can't, this type of equipment isn't for you. Works perfectly on my carbureted Ford though.

AND it fits perfectly in a paper shopping bag (remember those?).

Since you said fire barrel, I'll recommend one of these: http://www.outdoorbasics.com/coghlans-camp-grill.html I've used mine (with the legs folded up) dozens of times in my 20 gallon barrel firepan. If I use it again, I'd probably remove the legs, though.

Funny that you put it that way. ;) I use mine precisely because it's lighter, easy, and for my money, better. Naturally, YMMV.

Yes. If you use a sparkplug socket with a magnetic insert, it isn't an issue. The fuel in the air isn't either; mine draws outside air into the cylinder and pumps it out into the hose/tire. Using the device on a vehicle with fuel injection would require disconnecting the injector where...

Ditto. An inexpensive pan, even from Wally world, is an excellent choice for camping; you can get one with a lid, the right size, and when you ruin it you're not afraid to throw it out and start over. I love cast as well for home, but I prefer my cheap Teflon pan for the camp. Haven't tried the...

Covered already, but I'll weigh in... The size is the only thing that bothers me. I use my 5 Quart (about 10" dia at the top) Lodge and it's usually a little large for me and a couple campmates. I'd personally wait and buy something smaller, if it were me. I'd also buy an iron oven out of...

Not sure which jump packyou're referring to, but I'd encourage you to skip it and buy the compressor, it's probably a better unit.

I use a Kat's oilpan pad on both my vehicles now. It was pretty easy to install on the VW as it was self adhesive. The Ford needed to be glued, since I bought it years before they were available with glue (and it still works great). I also have a battery warmer under the starting batteries on...
