    To spot or not to spot

    I'll have to check that out.

    Chainsaw mount

    For $30, it's probably the most affordable solution. I think you should get one and try it out. And if you don't like it, sell it to me for cheap because I don't have one yet. :wavey:

    Sleeping in your vehicle

    We have a rooftop tent now, but if I still had my XJ, I'd probably tool around my local Michael's and make a set of magnetic screens myself. If you're not into arts and crafts, you can spend too much on them from somewhere like http://theskeeterbeater.com

    To spot or not to spot

    I had two stents put in last year, just a couple months before my 36th birthday. That plus a lifetime of other health issues suggests my time is likely to be shorter than average. I want to make the time I do have as interesting as I can. Between my own self-destructing body and the severe...

    Question: Cooking with cast iron

    We use it all the time. Most of our stuff is Lodge, though we have some old Griswold pieces too.

    Awning Owners: Driver's Side Mount or Passenger's Side Mount? Logic? Why?

    For me, I don't think it matters. I'll explain... I'm on the east coast and I primarily use it on the beach. We back in, facing away from the shore. As best as I can figure, the sun will shine in equally, more or less, on either side. I simply mounted it on the driver side because the...

    Yeti Lawsuit

    More like that's what's necessary for competitors to do to protect themselves in this litigious business environment.

    Yeti Lawsuit

    Normally, I would agree with you, but this lawsuit is over a cup. The only way this would have any standing would be if the infringing company was calling itself YETl (lower case L). As it stands. it's absolutely frivolous.

    Yeti Lawsuit

    When faced with competition, respectable companies choose to innovate, market themselves better, and offer features or service the competitors don't. Others turn to the legal system. :rolleyes:

    Anyone running left and right awnings?

    Just curious if any of you have this configuration. If so, why did you want it and how have you used it?

    The perfect tire.

    The BFG AT tread is troublesome on-road because the parenthetical tread pattern traps water instead of providing an efficient, low-pressure exit path. I have considered something like what the OP is talking about though. My solution was taking a Super Swamper TSL and instead of having...

    Bear safety in RTT's and soft sided campers/tents

    Just leave a picnic basket a couple hundred feet outside of camp.

    Fuel storage

    I see you are in CA. Labeling NOT FOR FUEL USE lets them still sell NATO-style WATER cans...that enterprising users, unjustly subjected to the awful CARB-compliant cans, have used to carry other liquids as well.

    Best value in 12V fridges, Indel B vs Dometic

    Look at the Smittybilt Arctic as well. Same compressor as the ARB, with some other similar components as well, from what I've read.

    turning it sideways

    Pros: It hangs over the rear, offering some weather protection for the interior when the back door is open. Cons: If you're going to open the door more than once or twice, you need to remove the ladder. Ours opens over the back because it's how my wife asked me to install it. Wanting her...

    Identify Your Enemies - How are Enviro/Eco Groups Funded?

    The biggest issue with organizations on any side of the argument is the "mine, not yours" mentality. There's hikers that want to stop horse riders, horse riders that want to stop mountain bikers, mountain bikers who want to stop motorcycle riders, motorcycle riders who want to stop ATV riders...

    RTT Day Trip Logistics

    I play the game the same as Happy. We leave our bathroom tent, folding table, and chairs. No issues so far.

    Coolant or distilled water?

    I changed my mind. Instead of distilled water or coolant, you should carry a still so you can make distilled water from any water source. :bowdown:

    How long should I expect a mid-priced 12v Fridge to last?

    That's what's in the Smittybilt as well.
