    April 4,5,6th 2008 Southeast Az Expedition Pre-run & Ghost town hunt

    Thats the same weekend as AZRocks in Forence Junction. Expect heavy offroad traffic in that area. I'm supposed to attend that, but don't really feel like it. Maybe I'll drive out to Peppersauce for the Friday night and camp with you.

    CJ-7 Offroad Trailer

    I ran the El Camino Del Diablo with Joe and his trailer. Cool trailer and even cooler dude! It's well built and looks even better now that he camo'ed the whole thing.

    Shower and toilet enclosure thread

    I was considering going with the PETT system. A huge plus is that it all goes into one case. Keeps gear organized. Plus get one of those wood floors from Cabelas and it becomes a potty/shower room. I'll be picking up a bug weed sprayer and adapting it for shower use. far cheaper than Zodi's.

    Food, trailers and animals

    Having been a backpacker for many years, I treat my trailer food supply the same way. I double Ziploc bag all meats and cheeses, all leftover food gets discarded 30-40 feet from the tent, when possible food trash is burned in the fire (not always possible depending on location), no food is ever...

    I love big kid puzzles!

    I'd like to add my 3 cents. Make sure you practice quite a bit on some scrap before you just weld together this bumper. You need to make sure you know how to get the proper heat and wire speed, know how to get proper penetration and a good bead before you put this bumper together and drive down...

    I'll be swapping in a 130amp alt next weekend while I'm changing out my radiator. I'll let you know how it works out.

    The Anti-Trailer thread

    I like having my AT. It keeps the whole trip at a slower pace, which I prefer. I'm not big on racing around some really cool places. I would rather drive slower and see the sites, then when we reach camp, I have a lot of nice comforts because of the trailer. I have already taken my AT thru...

    The Anti-Trailer thread

    It's all about comfort level. What level of comfort do you want? I can do an 8 day backpacking trip with a 60lb(on day one) pack. Suddenly, when camping with a vehicle you discover all the other stuff you can bring like a fridge/cooler, nice chairs, a big tent and comfy bedding, pillows, changes...

    Your Bikes

    Been riding one bike or another for 25 years. Started with freestyling in the 80's I had a Redline, Haro, GT, and General RL Osborne Pro. Gots lots of scars to show for that time period. Used to love street riding mostly, but 1/2 pipe was always fun. Got into Mountain and road. Had Schwinn and...

    Fs: Brand New Yaesu Ft-7800r Ham Radio

    I want to move in the 2M direction or ham or whatever it is you all use. Problem right now is, I don't know enough about it to know if thats the radio I want. I'll study up on it when I'm ready for that direction.

    SnowPeak chairs

    Definitely not, stuff does not have to be expensive. For me, over the course of the last 5 years I have broken every cheap chair I have had. So now I'm gonna try the high end ones. I have a mixture of high end stuff and cheap stuff and home made stuff as well. It's a mixture of what works best...

    SnowPeak chairs

    Nope, pretty sturdy so far. I don't have the extensions though and I don't think I will either. Only time will tell for sure.

    OEM 130/150 amp alternator upgrade for the 80.

    I've read stuff on MUD about them not putting out anywhere near the claimed amperage and the reliability being suspect. Thats all I've heard. I hadn't heard of enough people trying them to really draw any conclusions. But you've been running yours for 4 years, so I guess it's fairly reliable. I...

    SnowPeak chairs

    We just got 3 Kermits last week. After breaking numerous cheap chairs, I'd had it and decided I would spend the coin on good chairs. They are low, but I've discovered this is great for kickin your legs out and lounging. They are comfy and strong despite how small they look. I'm 6'2" 270 and...

    OEM 130/150 amp alternator upgrade for the 80.

    I've read mixed reviews on the Mean Green. Have you checked it? Does it really put out whats it claims? Also, how long have you been running it?
