    Anderson connectors: Crimp vs solder?

    Maybe you just had one bad crimp. I've crimped many Anderson connectors and most of them have held up in my vehicles and on my motorcycle in high vibration environments for years, but occasionally one will fail and it's frustrating. I always use the crimping tool I got at Powerwerx which is...

    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    Messed around with some RAM mounts and have a great quick setup and found a reason to keep the ladder on the side of the van.

    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    We've been on a little road trip this weekend and the Mini has been really useful since we left with no plans and have had to basically boondock each night so far because our campsite destinations were all full or closed for the season. Due to some unforeseen circumstances we ended up looking...

    Milwaukee PACKOUTs (and competing systems) for modular storage?

    I switched to some Packout gear in our van, and boy did I go down a rabbit hole with this gear. I'm using in in our Van. Pros Modular Mounting options - Floor / Wall Ease of access Portability - stack them up and roll them into the house when needed Cons Expensive Heavy I started with my...

    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    Same as others - Ordered 9/3 and it shipped 9/6 after telling me it wouldn't ship until 9/23. USB cable ordered 9/5 and it shipped 9/19. I used 43GB of my 50GB in three days letting everyone use it when I was camping last weekend. At one point I had seven devices connected and we watched a...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    I'm using the Black Widow SMC-600 and been using it for a few years. It's super solid. If you have a Tire, and Boxes mounted on both doors you might not be able to mount a bike on the back. When I got my lift kit installed the outfitter said lots of guys put racks on the back and then can't...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    If you don't secure your bike properly it can hit the rear window when things flex over bumps. Also, if a strap comes loose it can ********** the window. I double strap my bike every time. Stock suspension on the Rally is good enough unless you ask too much of it. I didn't change the shock for a...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    Glad to share my experience especially if it's helpful. I ended up selling the MX Hauler during the pandemic when I wasn't working - bad decision. I ended up getting a different branded one but haven't tried it yet on my van, and Yes it would have worked on my FJ if the spare tire wasn't...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    I've been down this road a few times myself and had to use an extension to haul my XR400 (250ish lbs) on my FJ with a Ultimate MX Hauler (60lbs) - I ended up getting an extension that stuck out more than needed so I drilled a second hole to snug everything up as close as I could. I was always...

    10 Days in southern Oregon and far northern California

    @gator70 at first I was thinking "wow, full size rigs on Usal in the Lost Coast" but then I remembered seeing this sucker and while it might be tight in spots, at least on Usal Road it's doable. Great write up! These days it pays to carry a chainsaw if you're traveling in wooded areas in...

    After scouting locations last weekend we scored this great dispersed spot for the long July 4 weekend. This was way off the road in a nice clearing Fire restrictions began a few days earlier so I brought our Trail Fire grill. The Rangers came by when we were out hiking and dropped a flag to...

    campsite pics..lets see um

    I sensed from your first post that there may have been a few riders who struggled a little on Imogene.. I'm sure the showers were a nice thing to have at the end of the day. Wait.. Aren't you on the new bike? "Adventure just means I'm gonna be late to dinner"
