    Tired of all the "crap" RTT's. So I made my own. - TERRAPOD!

    Cool. I've been on their site before ---- by cover, do you mean the dacron wrap or something else?

    Tell me more. I'm thinking of new mattresses.

    Fridge cover...yes or no?

    I'm the administrator of a test and measurement training lab, chemical analysis instruments, and I test and measure everything. It's a disease... Controlled environment, my garage, 86 degrees all day. My fridge's surface temperatures ranged from 74 to 72 degrees (not near the compressor vent...

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    We've got one of those rolled up in the garage somewhere. We stopped bringing it after discovering the lazy beauty of the Walmart Field & Stream folders. Like this but from Walmart. They're rebranded all the time. I've got a slot built for a pair of them under the solar panel storage in the...

    Best Car Camping Cooler

    Made by California Innovations and retailed by Walmart. Great cooler. I think they dropped the price recently to around $120 or so. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-52-Quart-High-Performance-Cooler-Grey/748622151

    Camp Chair Recommendations

    I've hard-mounted the leg extensions. I bought the pair of chairs a long time ago when we had a motorcycle and two MINI Coopers. They were the only strong chairs I could find to fit in bike's saddlebags. Fast forward to now and they almost never get disassembled. But they're still...

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    I've only seen two of the new Rangers on the road so far. The second one was yesterday and it had a small lift, aftermarket wheels (stuck out past fenders), and some aggressive rubber. Have to admit it looked pretty nice. They were both loaded with jobber gear and were working; one in fancy...

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    2014 Wrangler Unlimited 6 speed. I still adore the thing but it's really the worst manual I've ever driven.

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    I'm pretty sure I had the Mazda. No grinding ever and never a problem with that truck at all. 24 mpg with the six. I used it for work as an electronics field service engineer; just the right size for parts and tools. If it got dirty I just hosed it out and dried it with a towel.

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    I had a 2000 F-150 regular cab, short bed, vinyl bench seat, vinyl floor, crank windows, manual trans. The thing was flawless the entire time I owned it. Trans was pure silk. Whoever bought that after I traded it in got a creampuff.....

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    Makes sense on some vehicles though. I had two MINI Coopers with autos and paddle shifters and one with a manual trans. The autos would run Deal's Gap much faster than the manual. And my wife's car now ---- I can get about 10% better fuel economy on podunk backroads manually shifting the...
