Thanks for mentioning this. I hadn't thought about the impact of recirculating the exhaust air in a closed space but it makes sense.

I had an uncle who always had scouts and a buddy of his had IH pickups. My Dad had a Travelall. Great vehicles, a shame IH couldnt be successful. That one looks sweet.

I was initially thinking Oztent for the quick set up but I think for the size you need they will be outside of the price range. I like the idea of quick set up so that if you pull into a site late at night or in the rain it's not a nightmare getting your camp ready. I don't know what temps or...

Another way might be to use one of the rollable flat beds and put Aluboxes or Pelicans on it.

When I first had an allergic reaction to a bee sting I was prescribed the "Anakit" which was a needle syringe that had a slot in the "tube". You first pressed it to get rid of any air and some epinephrine, then turned it 90 degrees and could get shot one. The instructions had you inject it then...

Some GREAT info here. I'm not medically certified but SAR trained (which taught me all my limitations which is just as important IMO) and I travel regularly with some who are (docs and EMT's). They convinced me to toss the stitches for super glue. Yes to the irrigation. And spend more time...

Thanks for the responses! I know this helps me in trying to decide how to approach this. And I'm sure others will also find it helpful. I (as I am sure many do) wrestle with buying the larger version(s) but realize how impractical it is to use the "high water mark" for my decision instead of a...

Thanks all that responded. This is just the kind of "real world" info I was looking for. Hopefully more will chime in. I'm sure this will be helpful info to anyone trying to discern what size they need for their trips. Thanks!!

So I am still a cooler guy. But the appeal of a fridge is understood. I am trying to figure out the best size (easy right? Ha!) for me. I know I struggle with the comparisons of X liters in a fridge/freezer to Y litres in a cooler with ice. I think it might help many of us in this position if...

Instead of worrying about your questions I would tell the "designer" to add that to your list of needed features. And if he cant figure out how maybe you need a new "designer". Unless you're buying a chassis cab (and possibly even if you are, i just dont know much abt chassis cabs other than the...

I agree with you. At the same time if someone finds themselves inadvertently in a situation that is more difficult than they anticipated the technology could help. I am adamant about using a compass and paper maps, but that doesnt mean I dont appreciate GPS as well. ;)

Not to be a smart-a** but many of our cities equal or surpass much of the third world in terms of chaos IMO.

I dont know Tenacious Tape but I have found the 3" wide Gorilla Tape comes in handy for similar kinds of issues. And I hate mice too. My parents put mothballs in a mesh bag under the hood of their cars which seemed to work. I use mousetraps in my shed but other than that have fortunately dodged...

Very cool video. I get why he has it screwed through the track but if you just wanted access into the rear cargo are I dont see why something similar couldn't be done but use the same rubberstrips that the glass is mounted with? (You would probably need to add to the edges to have the same...

Wow, glad they'll make it. That's scary stuff. I am a little surprised as they're from the area so not quite the same as a tourist flying in a renting a Jeep, but who knows. I hope we find out what occurred. This highlights why a spotter can be so important. As much as I worry about the over...

Last two new vehicles I bought I used the Consumer Reports process- they tell you every price the dealer pays for the vehicle, various options etc plus all dealer programs that cut the costs for the dealership and tells you what you should pay for the vehicle. I called around asking who would...

Not sure if this is what @Raya was referring to but this cable clam would seem to do the trick and be watertight...

Looks like this one. Pro Eagle has a 2 ton off-road jack too but given the vehicle I'm guessing the 3 ton version. https://www.proeagle.com/collections/all/products/3-ton-big-wheel-jack-kratos

Vintageracer I know how to do the math- I was explaining how I would evaluate the decision but I dont know the differences between the gas and diesel versions- the 10 and 18 were hypotheticals. But your math looks right to me. ;)

Cool to see something done differently to suit your needs. Looks like they fit well and look good too.
