Fire extinguishers need to be secured very well so they do not become flying projectiles in a high speed roll over. I like double loop brackets:Double Strap Bracket. Over the top fire protection - Ansul Cartridge Operated Fire Extinguishers: Cartridge Extinguishers My go to fire extinguisher...

FYI - Pilots are advised not to wear polarized glasses because the glass used on the faced of the instruments in cockpit are polarized. You turn your head in the wrong direction and the information behind the instrument would disappear or become difficult to read. Similar to a polarizing filter...

Worked great on my Tacoma w/ OME suspension. When truck was empty they did not touch, but when loaded w/ a trailer they touched the axle and worked great!

I would be concerned about using a deep cycle for your starting battery(s). I would leave the two primary starting batteries as normal high capacity starting batteries for the truck and the winch. I would then add a deep cycle battery "house" battery for the fridge and other accessories. I...

ST PRO seems to be at M/T over an A/T tire - better traction off road. Not as well behaved on road or in ice. I like Coopers and BFG's go for it and see if they make you happy.

I would buy a set of good old fashion Halogen E-Code Headlights - simple and effective. The consider upgrading the wiring harness - I would use a standard wattage on the low beam, and upgrade wattage on the high beam.

My comments were for the front range of Colorado. If I lived in Leadville or some other high mountain area I would consider studs, or if I commuted up Lefthand or some of the other canyons on a daily basis. Studs are an old technology and tire compounds have gotten much better. I just think...

If you live in the front range of Colorado, and you use a vehicle as a daily driver - the you can spend the year with A/T - Tire. IMO it is not worth the investment in a dedicated set of snow tires for the 12 days of the year that the front range actually has snow on the pavement. Even December...

Crowd sourcing how to mount a high-lift in the bed of my GMC. I want to mount it under the bed rail on the right side. I would like to bolt it through the side of the bed and put a large fender washers on it. However, their is no access to install the nuts and washers. This is the mount -...

Why not Anderson Power pole connections

I thinks the simple solution for a lot of our modifications I should include repeater tail lights/break/turn lights. Earth Roamers and a lot of the European trucks have them. It not your fault if you get rear ended, but who wants to deal with getting rear ended while on a trip. Goes with rear...

If the BFG AT is too aggressive start working down the line - Michelin AT2; the the Michelin LTX M/S; same thing in the BFG Lineup the Rugged Trail T/A down to the Long Trail T/A. I have seen many ranchers way off road with the Michelin LTX tires. These tires are long wearing, and reliable...

Does anyone have any experiences with one of these: BTECH UV50x3 https://baofengtech.com/uv-50x3

Threw this into the adventure clothing thread, but thought a specific thread would be a better place. Does anyone have experiences with Wiggy's Sleeping Bags? They seem to be used in the military community - nothing super fancy, but solid equipment. Fame or Fad, or thoughts - a -60F bag for...

Similar Products I suppose that the idea is similar to the products made by Wiggy's: Again it would be fun to get some of their stuff and give it a try. They supposedly make a lot of the items in military survival kits used in Alaska. $300 for a -60 sleeping bag does not seem super crazy. All...

So yes - I am with Hilldweller: I am 6’5” and 230. I get very nervous about UK sizing. I am very interested in the concept. I need to find a retailer who has good return policies until I find a correct fit. The old school material seems very smart and usable. The users who have them seem to...

Thanks again all: Link to all the hype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLtklD4LSX0

Paddler Ed - nailed it! That is super fantastic. Anyone with meaningful experiences with the stuff? The people who seem to use seem to swear by it? Thanks again - I will be able to sleep tonight

Greetings - I having difficulty finding a band of clothing that found on the internet - but can find now. It is a trekking shirt that is designed to get wet when hiking, and uses your body heat to keep wicking the moisture out to the surface of the shirt. The theory is that you wear very few...

Studded tires are useless unless you drive on hard pack snow or ice all the time. I do not understand everyone fascination with 50 year old technology. In wet and dry conditions you will add considerable lenght to your breaking distances and reduce conering ability. In your case you want to...
