"modern synthetics" is also a loosely used term. Chinese modern synthetic is probably crap compared to USA modern synthetic. So, yeah, having an extra layer of U.V. protection for the cheap stuff that we run would be a wise move. I'm running the cheap chinese modern syn on the 4runner ;)

My GF bought a Vevor diesel heater that I installed in her camper and I was impressed by the whole package. The actual quality of the heater remains to be seen after the camping season is over but the kit included everything plus a little extra. A decent bang for the buck. This has been my...

I feel ya brother, I feel ya. Just yesterday I was using the same HF light to light up the area I was welding, under the vehicle. It gets the light just where I need it and able to see it through the auto darkening helmet.

One idea i might suggest is to purchase a hyd hose liner that's long enough to cover the outermost layer of your rope on the winch drum. That'll keep the U.V. from damaging the rope.

Let's see, one vehicle has a D shackle at the end of a steel cable. The other one has some kind of a fandangle alum thing at the end of syn cable. The steel line+ D shackle is probably going on 20 years. The syn cable + Factor 55 thing is less than five years old, and it was a gift. I...

now, THIS is a trailer worth the asking price. Very well built with decent springs.

ditto, these things are awesome, especially when they go on sale over the holidays. Great as a stocking stuffer.

Traction boards are the rage these days. One of these days I might jump on that bandwagon, but for now, it's four aggressive snow chains when I go snow wheeling. I just avoid mud altogether, if at all possible :unsure: . But if clay mud is a possibility where I'm going to wheel, I'll throw...

I'm late to the party but like the poster above mentioned, old fashioned headlamp always gets my vote. Heck, my headlamps get more use under my vehicles than in campouts. I have some of the above mentioned magnetic things but the headlamps are my go to. Every car has one attached to the...

It's a wonder I'm still alive from using D shackles for the better part of last 30 years :oops:

Immensely helpful, thank you sir.

Is this some sort of a plug and play update of the control panel? May I have the external dimensions please? National Luna provides this information in metric without being specific as to which one is the width, and which one is the height. Out of the three numbers stay posted, I can guess...

This is a REALLY good objective feedback for potential camper purchasers. In order to get more visibility, I wonder if a new thread with a catchy title would work? Just a suggestion!

No problem, glad I can help you sort this out. My coffee addiction isn't simple but I use the Jetboil to boil water for espresso. I also use the Jetboil to boil water in a Belman stove top steamer for frothing the milk. Making cappucinno takes way more effort (bean grinding, pulling shots, etc)...

A product like a JetBoil is about as easy as it gets. I know the OP is looking for an electric 12v kettle but cooking/heating with fuel is much faster and efficient than anything electric. Using an inverter to boil water is extreme but if your camper is setup for all electric, I can totally...

You made excellent points - given enough money, lots of things can be made possible. Diesels are simply awesome at what they do, pull a house down the hwy, after yanking it off the foundation :) . I too am having dirty thoughts about a H151 going into my turbo 80......

Funny thing is that my 2003 4runner has more useable inside space than the 80. Of course, they're two different animals but I thought it was interesting to see the stark contrast. The 80 cargo area is huge compared to the 4runner as one might surmise.

Thank you VERY MUCH for this extensive guide to installing the Albright and the Evo winch controller. I wanted to upgrade to a wireless controller for my Warn M10k winch, but wasn't sold on the Harbor Freight wireless unit that seems to be popular. This fits the bill perfectly for me. I don't...

I'll chime in here with my .02 cents worth, maybe worth even less! I see lots of folks touting the attributes of the venerable 1HD-T/1HD-FT engines, however, the torque is less than a 1FZ-FE while having the same HP (all be it, at different RPMS) . The folks that tout their 20+mpg diesel...

This is exactly my point, just because I have an extra 15g (oem subtank) carrying cap, doesn't mean that I'm always going to utilize it. I have to stop at the gas station with everone else anyway, LOL!! However, one pro of having 40g of fuel is that I can fill up at my local Costco for the...
