    Sumo spring for truck with campers

    I've been running sumo springs on my Jeep JKU for several years...my Jeep is heavy and the Sumo's have been a god send. As a poor man's air/hydraulic speed bumps, they soften the hard jarring/g-outs while traveling at speed. While crawling/low speed use, I find the additional spring rate to be a...

    Bought a Clam Quick Set Traveler screen room

    Most of the time, the dimensions are wrong or are optimistic - so independent validation is always prefered. saw and read the link...thx Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Efficient 12 Volt Cabin Air Filtration (WILDFIRES!)

    we had both Scott and MSA at the rural FD where I was a volunteer - one of them was a pain in the butt...now that you mention it, I wonder if it was a the Scotts.... Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Efficient 12 Volt Cabin Air Filtration (WILDFIRES!)

    One more thing I forgot to mention... For the fearmongers and others on this thread... The hospitalization rates during the severe wildfires aren't that much higher if at all...So if the smoke were really that bad, don't you think that people that are dragging oxygen tanks around to survive...

    Efficient 12 Volt Cabin Air Filtration (WILDFIRES!)

    Really? Ahh...the internet. How do thee wist reality and sanity. This thread has become downright absurd. Comparing this to the MGM? Why stop there? Why not the cabin of a burning jet? Why not just tell the OP to get a scott pack SCBA... The MGM was basically a sealed jar with lots of highly...

    Wide hiking boots

    Yup...the toe box is huge. I wear a 12 4e in most shoes...but 11 or 11.5 4e in Keens. They have foot specific (right vs left) shaped box, and for safety boots (steel/Kevlar/alum toes boots), it makes a huge difference. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Wide hiking boots

    Hiking shoes are the boots/shoes that you go hiking in...don't get caught up in the branding/marketing of shoes' purpose. Check out some work boots. Lots of wide toebox boots out there that come in various ankle support lengths. Keen makes some great boots with large toe boxes....some are...

    Efficient 12 Volt Cabin Air Filtration (WILDFIRES!)

    Muffin fans can be had with high static pressure stats. My comments didn't preclude my later statements. KISS - a fan (proper) with a filter (proper) does wonders for indoor air quality. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Efficient 12 Volt Cabin Air Filtration (WILDFIRES!)

    You guys are overthinking this....keep it simple. Vacuum canister HEPA filter and muffin fan... works great for smaller spaces (like a 10x10 room). Merv 13-15 square furnace filter (a small one) and a couple of larger muffin fans - done. I've done this for several times with comms enclosures and...

    Efficient 12 Volt Cabin Air Filtration (WILDFIRES!)

    Get a Merv 12-15 filter and small box fan. Use an inverter. A true HEPA 13 filteris better if you can find it, but prices are through the roof. Another option is a HEPA canister vacuum filter and muffin fan of appropriate diameter (and cover plate)...the trick about the DC muffin fan is finding...

    Good ol' tire discussion - considering 2 options

    I think I'm somewhere around 6 or 7 sets of Duratracs between my Jeep, the Sprinter, and some of my other trucks. The biggest issue with Duratracs is maintenance. You must rotate and balance those tires religiously... Your alignment has to be spot on as well. I don't find them to be any more or...

    Front Runner Bins...Cub & Wolf

    Ended up getting collapsible bins from Amazon for the trip and am now using bins from Container Store - thx for the tip. For the price, the Front runner bins should have gaskets and be dust tight.

    Front Runner Bins...Cub & Wolf

    Anyone have a Cub and Wolf Front Runner bin available in the North Bay of San Francisco....just trying to do a mockup before committing to buying a bunch? I realize I can just make a cardboard box using the dimensions online, but there is something to be said for having it in your hands and...

    Kenda Klever R/T

    Looking for long term wear and noise feedback - anyone hit 25k or more miles on these bad boys yet? Wondering how they compare to Duratracs - anyone have higher mileage experience with both? Curious about wet weather, snow, and light to moderate mud performance. (My personal bias is strongly...

    Yaesu/Kenwood Radios, Antenna/Antenna Location Comparison

    Few Updates to the thread. Wow - wish I could edit that post - horrid grammar and spelling. Phones are no bueno for long messages. Glad folks were able to benefit from it. The Kenwoods remain the better radios for all things xmit/rcv. The Yaesu's used to be easier to deal with for entering data...

    Fold out solar panel

    I have several pieces of Victron solar and battery monitoring gear of various vintages. All of it works great. Not sure where you found that info, but most of it is nonsense. However, I do have better range (about 2x) with the BT dongle b/c I'm able to mount them higher/more apt to be in the...
