It's gone anywhere I've tried to pull it, I'm not a rock crawler. I've never weighed it but I'm guessing around 3000#'s

Which composting toilet would work in this application? Isn't composting too slow?

We have a porta pottie but we're going to travel east and do some urban camping and need more holding capacity. I'm thinking about buying a couple more for the tanks and swapping them out. I thought about hanging a flat tank under the floor but even with an outside port to empty into it's a...

What is going on with this hitch? It looks telescopic but what is with the coupler?

So, I have a lock n roll hitch and I like it, it works well and doesn't seem too spendy for what it is. But, I'm a little disappointed that it has worn the way that it has. The trailer side has a lot of up and down movement around the side to side pivot that seems to come from the wear in the...

The longer the hitch, the less effect the trailer has on the truck. It's also better for turning and maneuvering

Yeah, but I drive slow

Thx for the comments, I think I'm going to bolt a piece of angle iron to the top of the wall behind the door and drill holes for carabiners. I ordered a tarp off ebay. I'm cheap. I'll post pix when I get it sorted

I've been thinking about an awning for the fort. What do you like?

Using a spacer puts more of the load on the outer, smaller wheel bearing. I guess that's ok if your axle is over-spec but I didn't and still don't think it's a good idea if there is another way. Lol, I don't have any center caps so I don't have to worry about them. To each their own

I measured the backspace of the wheels/tires and ordered axles by length to make sure I had clearance without spacers. Dorman makes metric studs to use with the toyota lugnuts, I don't remember the #. I think tacoma rims (at least the 1st gen) are both or either hub or lug centric, I've read...

These are two that I retrofitted shimano motors into. E-bikes rock, especially torque sensor assisted. 29+ x 3" tires rock too. Each pedal stroke gets a little boost so it really discourages mashing, makes my knees happier. I rarely use anything other than the eco mode but the other modes are...

When I lived in Kansas City we rode bikes in the limestone mines there a few times. They go for miles. Some have been coverted into storage but a lot are just abandoned. Creepy

Lots of 6x12's run on single axles. I like tandem setups. I think tandems transfer less stress to the the tow vehicle from dropping into holes or ruts and lessen bouncing. New tandem axles with springs costs about the same as a single timbren but I also built a subframe to mount them to so...
