I am on the Fine Homebuilding daily tip list. This is todays tip: HOW-TO The Big Drawer Issue 189 I know truck-bed extenders are available commercially, but I decided to make my own to demonstrate my carpentry and problem-solving skills to my clients. It seems to have worked. My truck’s Big...

I am pretty sure you already have spacers/adapters on the trailer in order to make the Jeep bolt pattern wheels fit. Get new spacers/adapters for the wheels you want to use, may need to be different thickness to compensate for any difference in back spacing in the wheels. However there is a...

Here is the best info I have found: http://www.bedfordspeedway.com/toolbox_leaf.htm I actually built and loaded my trailer before welding on the rear spring hanger so I could get the angle I wanted. Tack welded it, then relocated hanger and welded it at the end of the build.

I just had a 90 degree elbow crimped into the hose.

PVC Off gassing Agree, Yes, very, very bad idea. 1. Google my title and learn of health concerns related to PVC off gassing which is accelerated at higher temperatures. 2. Ducting should be same diameter as furnished with the furnace, or in some cases larger, the 2" diameter and the drain...

I have been wanting to make the same switch. Do you mind stating what components are required? Thank you in advance for the help.

First thing you need to do is decide what you want to power, then add up the total amps. This will tell you what size system you need. Good idea also to add capacity to allow for future lights, etc.

Total lack of customer support Recently ordered this jack from the US website (https://www.arkportablepower.com/products/xo-trailer-jack) and before it was delivered, I tried to contact ArkPak on the phone during normal business hours: no answer. So I sent an email: no response and it has been...

You need a temporary attachment point on the edge of the lid where you want to attach the top of the lift cylinder. Use a stiff wire hook or something similar. Using a hand held spring type scale or similar weight measuring device attached to the hook, lift the lid from one side and record the...

Sounds like the starter solenoid, but it usually does not fail so soon. Starter is in the crotch of the V, as in V8.

I saw this when it was posted, but am just now getting a chance to respond. Disclaimer: "I am no expert on this, except for I have worked for years around certified welders and welding inspectors, and have also welded my own projects for years." The explanation of the heat affected zone...

Thanks for the input. Problem is that I am using a hydraulic winch and the valve assembly/solenoid is almost touching the grill. I am using a Narva bulb in Hella lenses, a combination I do not wish to give up, and the life of the bulbs is only about 250 hours. I have been pulling the top of...

Just wondering how do you late model Wrangler owners change out the headlamp bulbs with a winch mounted on say an ARB front bumper. Wrangler owner's manual says to remove the grill, but with the winch in place I am unable to remove the grill. Does anyone remove the air filter box and power...

You might consider adding the extra leafs to the rear spring packs.

Thank you for your reply.

Can you please tell us where you got the side entry doors with the square corners at the bottoms? Thank you.

When you weld the spring seats on, be sure the axle camber [arch], is on top.

Please submit link to the tank you have selected.

I am currently doing a build on a teardrop and used the spreadsheet found here to determine my needs. The spreadsheet is set up for Australia, so you will need to research the peak solar sun hours per month for the area where you expect to be camping. I had no trouble finding this information...
