    After spending about a year wondering and fretting about tires, I got the KO2's

    I have 315-70-17 ko2's on my Dodge 2500 CTD 4x4. I run them about 35psi (maybe a bit lower in the rear) for daily driving 50 when towing or freeway travel. They do lose chunks of rubber easily...mostly on the edges of the tread. BTW fuel mileage on my truck is around 20mpg highway, 14 off pavement.

    Emergency Valve System

    The site I saw said 4 for $220.00. 2 for $24 is much more reasonable...:) The site also said they needed money for tooling etc. but that they have a manufacturer lined up. Seems to me the manufacturer would already have the tools necessary??

    GPS needed for WABDR any ideas?

    Using garmin map source you can add waypoints, tracks and routes.....A phone battery will leave you lost when it runs down. For maps you need the etrex 20 and get maps for it from gpsfiledepot.com. Much better than garmin maps and FREE!

    ARB fridge not working on 12VDC?
