Has anybody ever used a 12v electric blanket? How hard was it on the battery? I’m headed out next week and its suposed to be in the 30’s. Thought it might be nice to run for an hour before bed. Can anybody think of a brick and morter that sells them?

I got started narrowing the trailer. The factory bends and forms the frame rails so I un bolted them and sucked them in with ratchet straps. Good greif the spring and stored energy would flat out kill you if it got away from you but I got it. You can see the u-bolts where it used to be and now...

There are offset flywheel keys available that will advance your timing. Burris used to have them but Im not sure if the 6.5 and 7 hp differences. The carb trick is to get one that fits your studs then working out an air filter cup and filter. You can hog out carb mounting holes to fit if you can...

No. People started using the Harbor Freight Preditor motors. They are super cheap and mods for them are out there. A bigger carb on yours give it a nice boost.

I was wondering what people do to enhance the use or performance of their stoves. I can heat a cup of water faster on a tiny backpack stove because the burner is so wide that the flame is wasted around the cup. I’m thinking of using a 5”x5” aluminum plate with a 2” hole in the middle to heat...

Keen eye on the oar locks. Never thought to invert them. Was thinking aluminum angle bent in a V with half inch bolt. Like a skid plate for them. They are known to hang on plants and rocks.

Since she is a non fenced open range beast I let her out blocks away from home. She ran right to the back yard where the boat and canoe are stored. She gave me that look “Let’s go!” I was rushing to get my fresh built sand car to Glamis when it popped up for sale so I’m not even home to play...

I have an 18' Grumman Canoe that I think is the same dimension as yours with the extra foot being a point. Grumman made light aircraft and is why they can shape, rivet and build strong, light craft. I won't drill it. It already has factory holes and a mounting plate for the optional sail kit...

Listed as one of the top 10 boats ever. 110 pounds. 15'4" and built like an extra wide freighter canoe. Can hual 1000 pounds of gear. Paddles, oars, trolling motor or small outboard will push it. Its got two sets of oarlocks so two people can row at once. This one is a 1978 that I got from...

2011 Grand Cherrokee 2wd. It was my mother in laws car that we use as a daily driver. Dealer said it was up to date on recalls and it needed a battery. I put in a new AGM. It's better but it still only clicks every day at least once. I cleaned all the grounds I could find. Im thinking starter...

I was at the IBEX marine manufactures convention in Tampa last month and met with the vendors of all these products. They are all the same. None of the high end boat builders brag or mention that the product they use is better in any way with one exception. Balsa wood coring. Still the...

There is a reason trucks don't come with lift kits, bigger tires that over power breaks, non pedestrian safe bumpers and blinding headlights but we use them. What happens in an accident? The rubber in these tires is expensive and limited in supply is why they are not marketed to consumers. The...

I saw that but sticker says DOT.

You would be suprised what racing rubber can stick to.

DOT legal tire! Kartec has them in stock. https://dakar.bfgoodrich.com/BFGood-projet-site-international/DAKAR-2018/The-new-BFGoodrich-R-KDR2-tire.-The-Plus-that-makes-the-difference

They are all similar enough so I recomend looking at wich way it opens. Where the vents are and dimensions to see if it fits in the hole that you want to stick it in. The only test I'd like to see is what one will run the battery down the lowest. I know my ARB will shut off way to early. I wish...

We use the smallest Weber Q as well. The one we got came with a fold up cart. But the stripped small version would be great. The nice thing about it it takes 1 pound disposable cylinders. For the cost to refill a 20 pounder when I forget to turn off the burner or a leak I can buy a whole bag of...

As soon as this thread popped up I knew I have seen that stuff before. It took me a while to think but there was one squirrelled away in the van for 10 years. How do the ring dings work?

MSR sells it...

I bought two Dahon Mariner bikes off Craigslist. These are the corrosion resistant versions marketed to the yacht crowd for cruising around marinas and to the store. These are the older 5 speed 20" tired bikes. Taiwan made and a little rickety compared to our real bikes but for $100 each we...
