This is what I’m looking at as an alternative: US Cargo Control sling

I’m in need of a couple tree saver straps. ARB 16ft can be bought for ~$60. Is there any reason to spend more money on stronger, rigging type, continuous loop, slings? ARB only lists the breaking strength as 26k pounds and I’m assuming that is in basket configuration. If I use the standard 5:1...

“Build?” LOL. Buy it, drive it. Way too much time and money spent on “builds,” not enough on the “get out there” side.

Soft copper tubing and a hand bender? Never used it for an air line in a vehicle, but I don’t see why not as long as it isn’t hanging out completely exposed to damage. Easy to repair, but that usually means easy to damage.

IRS is superior if engineered to be used off road. The problem is, it’s not engineered to be used off road. There’s very little that can be done aftermarket to improve it without completely re-engineering it.

I ordered from Powerwerx. Both cables shipped for $43.

I’m getting closer to completion of the winch project. The control box is behind the grill, so I’m waiting on the remote extension. The synthetic rope has been ordered and the short wires for the battery/disconnect/fuse setup have been ordered. I’ll probably go out tomorrow and pick up the...

I’m working on setting up my winch. I’m installing a fuse and a disconnect. I need a source for a few pieces of 2 gauge wire with ring terminals properly crimped on. Is there a company that I can specify the type, length, gauge, and terminals that will make them for me? I’m not sure about...

Four Wheel Campers or Alaskan Campers can be had in a flat bed model. You’ll need a flat bed.

Installed Thule track and Yakima Skyline towers with round bars.

New canopy. ARE DCU, gray, full length side doors, double rear doors, security screens, roof vent. Now I need to work out the canoe rack.

I’m giving the Cooper AT3 LT a run on my full size.

Overland Journal published an awning article recently. Might be worth looking at. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting what you pay for. https://expeditionportal.com/made-in-the-shade/

What year and drivetrain? It looks shiny, not like mine. 07 6.0

235/85-16 on my 2007 Silverado 2500. Definitely need to air down when I’m on the beach. I had the same size on my Tacoma. They do look skinnier on the full size.

I think some better tires and maxtrax would be more useful. A limited slip or selectable locking differential would be a plus. The power puller doesn’t have much line on it and you’re going to need a pile of other gear to make it useful, plus a conveniently located anchor point. Were your...

Why didn’t you put the chains on?

Which engine and transmission combination? Mine is a 6.0 LQ4 with A 4L80E.

I have a long bed 3/4 ton full size 8 foot bed. We’re considering a four wheel pop up or Alaskan or palomino. I would like to get a 6.5 foot camper and install a custom toolbox between the camper and cab in the existing bed. I’ve seen this setup with a flatbed and tunnel box, but never in a...

Warbonnet Blackbird hammock, Enlightened Equipment top and bottom quilt, Sea to Summit tarp. I use this setup for solo backpacking. If I’m solo in the truck I usually sleep in the bed. Backpacking or truck with someone else I bring a tent. I do find that I sleep better in the hammock.
