    Will an ARB dual compressor work with a check valve?

    If you don’t install it backwards it should be fine.

    Plastic tote bins with vertical sides?

    I was once excited about these. I’ve since found them to be brittle, with lid latches that are very easily broken or knocked open. For their price point, I can barely say they were worth it. That being said… they do have straight sides.

    Why disposable kitchen ware?

    I can see where that might be surprising. I would say that we use disposables more often for parties / invited groups than just family or 1-2 friends. Much of that depends on the food style or occasion. Formal holiday meal… China and place settings. BBQ / Pizza / Pool party… disposable...

    Why disposable kitchen ware?

    If this surprises you, don’t even consider looking into how many families routinely eat meals at home with disposables. I recently got into a conversation with a co-worker about “how difficult” her life has become since having a kid and how she wouldn’t survive if she had to do dishes…. “Um…...

    Plastic tote bins with vertical sides?

    Yes, here they are commonly called straight-wall industrial containers or bins. My impression was that the shipping cost was usually pretty significant… likely for all the reasons that you want them!

    Plastic tote bins with vertical sides?

    I ended up making custom wood crates and haven’t regretted it one bit.

    AT Horizon Roll Call / Mods / Pics

    I bought the AT Chaser referenced by Ghost65 a few pages back. It was 2007, and appeared to spend most of its life in arid or desert environments. I did a frame-off overhaul with some significant modification. One issue I had to deal with was fairly significant rust (1/3-1/2 depth of the...

    Ignik Fire Pits on sale at REI (25% off)

    So I just left REI and they had several of the cans, but I passed because the propane hookup protrudes from the side of the van about 1.5”. Does this keep it from being mounted in an ammo can holder? I see the picture of the “deluxe” can looks to have a better design, but they didn’t have any...

    Engine RPM consisent buzzing on 2M radio

    When you say Coax Cable was replaced… did that involve cutting a custom length or installing a custom termination on either end? It is possible that the shield connection is messed up.

    Is the roof tent trend over?

    People who sleep with bears for warmth generally smirk at the “three dog” crowd! But don’t worry, Wolverine owners are rolling their eyes and trading knowing looks about the whole group!

    2014 JKUR - What is that Buzzing in the Dash?

    I’ll make an attempt at recording and posting mine tomorrow. My link to trans temp is thin at best, but the list of otherwise eliminated stuff is really long. Interestingly, the noise in my Jeep is hard to hear from the passenger seat but really obvious from the drivers. It seems to come from...

    2014 JKUR - What is that Buzzing in the Dash?

    Watch your transmission temp. I would describe my sound as a humming / buzzing. It only occurs while accelerating, in drive, and transmission temps usually over 150, closer to 170. I suspect the sound I’m hearing is fluid bypassing a seal or valve. It got somewhat better when I took apart...

    2014 JKUR - What is that Buzzing in the Dash?

    There are 2 possibilities, one is the HVAC system, it goes into a standby / park mode and a big door moves behind the glovebox. Pull out the glovebox and you should be able to see it moving. Mine only does this when changing modes or about 30 seconds after shutting off the ignition. The...

    Pump GPM for a dishes sprayer/camp shower?

    Depending on where you live, you will probably find your household shower flows 1-3 gpm. You really don’t need much if you have good pressure (30-ish psi). Time how long it takes to fill a bucket with your garden hose and judge from there.

    I did not know about these. Will the various DIY guys that posted similar efforts over the years start kicking themselves now?

    DIY Fridge slide build - 1/16" aluminum angle iron strong enough?

    I am not a slide engineer, but I am certain that the bearings carry the load and are subject to wear all the time, not just while extended. My hypothesis would be that a taller (stronger) section is needed to carry equivalent load at full extension, but the detracting recommendations are based...

    DIY Fridge slide build - 1/16" aluminum angle iron strong enough?

    That is very simple. I would guess that something like 1” x 1/16” will serve you just fine. Getting something taller 2” or 1-1/2” would be better, but really just easier to assemble. Properly rated drawer glides are more important. Most will say to de-rate something like 3x for mobile use...

    Timbren 3500HD- If you buy Dexter Brake Hubs with your Timbrens they will not carry a warranty!!

    Is the Timbren Spindle an EZ-Lube spindle? If they are hearing “no lubrication” and it wasn’t on a spindle designed for it, then using the EZ lube center cap doesn’t lube anything. They are probably saying no warranty for lack of lubrication when it sounds like you are saying it was sold as...
