    Propane tank size

    tank size My little girl and I were up in Mammoth, Ca. tent camping the first week in Oct. The lows got down to upper 20's/low 30's every night. We slept in my Springbar tent (7 man). This was the first time that I had used a Mr. Buddy Heater. The heater worked great, the tent didn't get below...

    Looking for a new Expedition vehicle and can't decide, Help :)

    "In My Stable" Lyric, I'll give you some advice based on what's in my "Stable" right now. As my signature says, I'm running a '12 FJ, a '02 Silverado and I also bought a '01 Frontier for my son. All 4X4's. My family consists of an eighteen year old son, seven year old daughter, two...

    Water sandals

    mandals I am a "mandal" wearing fool. I've had several pairs of the Keens, and they have been great, I'll probably never buy from another company again. As great as these are, the open design lets tiny pebbles and sand in when wet wading while I'm fishing. If you want something a little more...

    What's your MPG?

    Yeah, my truck is an '02 Silverado with the Duramax. I have power coming out my ears and I get a combined mileage of 16MPG. I wish all cars were diesel! Well, paying the extra in fuel is still cheaper than a payment. As long as I got rid of all the little gremlins. Thanks for the help.

    What's your MPG?

    I guess that's good and bad. She's doing what's she supposed to, but I sure thought I'd be getting a lot better mileage out of her.

    What's your MPG?

    I'm running 265 70R16's, this is the stock size from the factory. No supercharger, dangit. It's actually running really strong right now. You see I've had to put about $6000 in her over the last 18 months...UGH. Replaced the exhaust manifolds, left and right, multiple sensors, distributor...

    What's your MPG?

    I was thinking the same thing, that it should be doing in the 15-16MPG range combined. Are you guys running bigger tires? Lifts? Etc? I've had to put a ton of money into this thing, since we bought it last year. I don't know if it's time to let it go or not. I like the truck, and it's finally...

    What's your MPG?

    I bought an '01 king cab 4x4, 3.3 V6, MT for my son last year. It currently has 117xxx on the odometer. We just had new injectors, fuel regulator and a fuel pump installed. The truck seems to be getting 13.5MPG. It's driving great now. I don't know what it was getting before the repairs. I drove...

    Best balance of mileage and capability?

    '01 Frontier I bought an '01 Frontier for my son last year. It's the super-cab, manual trans. with the 3.3 V6. I bought it with just over 100K on it. I bought it thinking that it would be just as good as a comparable Toy. and save a $2-3K in the process. Well, a year and 8000 miles later was I...

    Southern Sierra Chimney Peak Byway

    Wow, nice pics. I've been wanting to go into that area myself, Domeland looks like it would be really fun. I just got back from a day-trip with my daughter to Monache Meadows last month. That entire area is beautiful! My girl and some of the "Wildlife" that we saw.

    I just won a Govt. auction for a M101A1 2 Wheel 3/4 Ton Cargo Trailer

    It's home Well, I just picked up my new trailer today. Thanks for the advice on the detachable trailer lights and zip ties. I only ran into one problem, the safety chains were just to short. A quick trip back into Barstow fixed that. I gotta say, I was a little nervous at first, but it...

    Holy Xterra deals!

    Yeah, if I had the choice of buying a brand new Xterra or a high mileage Toyota, I'd be hard pressed not to buy new. I know that what I've experienced has more turned me off to buying used more than not buying a Nissan. My FJ is the first brand stinking new rig I've ever bought and I love it. I...

    Holy Xterra deals!

    Man, I wish that I could say that I've had as good of luck as you guys. I bought my son an '01 Frontier a little over a year ago. It's a 4X, xtra-cab, man. trans. with the 3.3 V6 in her. We bought her with 108xxx on the OD. (This replaced a '94 hardbody that was totaled). I, like you, saw how...
