    On board shower

    I recommend the Flojet 03526 144A Triplex Diaphragm 3526 Series Automatic Water System Pump, It can do 2.9 GPM, and has an automatic pressure switch built in (close shower head, pump turns off, open shower head, water pump starts back up. Works great!) My build is very similar to the OP's...

    Storing and organizing camping equipment

    I'd steer clear of the action packers. I have some I bought back in 2008. I never use mine anymore, other than general garage storage. They are not water proof, don't stack well, waste a lot of space with the form factor, and are expensive. I use 18 gallon Rubbermaid roughneck totes, work...

    My L-Track, airline track in the tacoma, Tie Down options everywhere

    Yeah thanks. I swapped blades and it certainly helps. On Friday I finished bolting in a long piece on rear of truck bed. Very happy with it.

    explore alone?

    I've specialized in solo hiking, backpacking, and multi-day 4WD trips. They are the most rewarding, by far. As stated by others, preparation is key to mitigating risk, and making the trips safe and enjoyable.

    Boring Hams Talking About The Weather

    :sombrero: Yup! Interesting character, no doubt. Indeed! A scoped Smith & Wesson Model 29. If he had one, before the break down, it would have been "M4DMAX" :D

    Boring Hams Talking About The Weather

    Just Walk Away Just walk away. There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway in the...

    12V Compressor vs HP Air Tanks - Pros & Cons?

    Buy a viair 90P compressor. About $75. Reasonably fast, light, small and reliable. That's what I use.

    My L-Track, airline track in the tacoma, Tie Down options everywhere

    The l-track sits well below the rubber mat. They are mounted in the recessed ribbed part of the truck bed. They stick up a little bit passed the adjacent raised ribs, but as said, well below the bed mat. Here is a picture of a single stud fitting in a 2" section of L-track. This is for...

    My L-Track, airline track in the tacoma, Tie Down options everywhere

    I was tired of not having exactly what I wanted for cargo control. So my 4.5 year old daughter and I set out to fix that. And we did. :) I store the fittings in the back until I need them, and then move them. So easy! They are 12" sections of L-Track secured with 1/4"-20...

    Ham Antenna w/Limb Risers?

    ^ You're right. I forget that fact quite often; thanks for the reminder. Tinkering is very much part of Ham Radios roots and traditions.

    Ham Antenna w/Limb Risers?

    Good luck with that. I won't deny that if done correctly it would work--at least for some range, but why? It would be a lot more work and be very inefficient. Half the radiation would be into the sky and the other half pointed at your face in the cab. It sounds like a dumb idea to me. NVIS...

    Proper transport of handgun thru California

    No. Not recommended; it can't help. You legally don't have to answer any questions. Issue the citation or let me go. Thanks. Pay traffic attorney $300 to make it go away.

    Proper transport of handgun thru California

    That's right. You'll be fine. I keep my locked container right next to me in the drivers seat, mags at the ready. All legal. No probs. :)
