It's still moving the heat outside, away from the space to be cooled. it's just doing the majority of the heat transfer in the box inside, which yes, is not very efficient. I have one of those, a rare 2 hose model and it is still really inefficient. And even those are not going to run on 12v...

Let's talk basic thermodynamics. For starters, you are not necessarily adding cool air, but rather you are removing the heat energy from one area, and must move it to another. This process involves compressing an energy absorbing gas, the compressed gas is passed through a condenser, and has...

Not doubting you in the slightest, but your time between dumps of the cassettes is a bit shorter than mine. Again 2 people, 20l / 5 gallon portable toilet in my case needs to be emptied for us every 4 to 5 days when out. Of course i have no qualms just watering the bushes if need be instead of...

So is internal combustion engines, and the wheel... what's your point? CB Works, everyone in the club has it, and on the trail, unless skip is rolling, interference is non existent. It strikes me that the anti CB hate is a bit of HAM operator elitism. I am interested in keeping in touch on...

If you are managing to not bring excess packaging, and not wasting food as you go, you should in theory be generating minimal trash to begin with. Just because of how we repackage items for best use in a cooler, I tend to have a plastic grocery store bag worth of trash at the end of a 5 day...

Never heard of. No love, or hate for anything Aussie... what info can you share about this? Notably, will it support a 12K winch?

Seems like an opportunity for an app developer. Kind of like Gas Buddy, but instead, Recycle Buddy... It's been 26 years since I have been there, so things may have changed, but when I was in Az in college, there were public recycle bins at grocery stores, and the large box stores. YMMV and...

I use an EZ Up type canopy with a 10x10 square leg frame, and Ozark Trail Sidewalls with pockets. The sidewalls have 2 "Trash Cans", 1 on each side of the sidewall toward the legs. Walmart Link for Ozark Trail shade wall with organizer pockets Quick, easy, effective, and not effected by minor...

There is a HUGE Igloo facility just outside of Houston toward Katy TX, I like my old Igloo Marine coolers, but they are too big for anything but hunting use... Parts are readily available... Lifetime has parts avaialble but they are rarely in store... I believe California Innovations made...

If you check the reviews, and are shopping Walmart, look at the Lifetime High Performance coolers. Less money, better performance, and made in the USA instead of imported from China. Not sure about current prices, but when I bought last year, the Lifetime 55qt was $97.00, and the Ozark Trail...

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a winch bumper, or a good design for one I could get made, for my 2004 F150 that would support a 12K winch, and not be too heavy. Most of these things add an additional 100lbs to the front end of the truck, combined with the weight of a winch...

I am going to throw out a somewhat controversial opinion here as there is no shortage of folks tha tlove their RAM trucks.... but the constantly evolving / changing corporate ownership and unstable business that is, and has been Chrysler since as far back as I can remember, As part of...

IF the lumber mills / MFGs are to be trusted, by definition Marine Grade plywood is western larch OR Douglas Fir at least 5 plies, and typically pressed under pressure. In what experience I have had the big difference was lack of voids in the plies. Same as cabinet grade. No real natural rot...

Where plywood is to be used, may end up going that route. However in areas where PMF / foam will work, going that way specifically to reduce weight. Plywood tends to be heavy...

Measured out the AquaTainers, and battery box. it will all fit, albeit the battery box will be a little snug IF I use the 2x6 recess in the bed. My plan is a segment of 2x6 I will hollow out the middle via Hole Saw and router. Basically I will be cutting out at least 3/4 of the material. Mostly...

Some more progress today. Ordered the generator, a Sportsman 1000 inverter 4 stroke generator and sourced up a curb find LG 5K BTU window unit, did some cleanup, having a GFCI issue. Could be a bad GFCI, could be a nicked wire in the unit. Starting to trace that down, we will see if this is...

Yeah, 285/75R18 would be right at around 34" for sure! Good update, thanks. ANd I retracted when I reread the OPs post. My bad... I have seen 285/70R17s all over the place, but mind you, last time I got that size was easily 15 years ago when I put my first set of tires on the F150... I guess I...

Oops. Moot.... saw the original post. Just FWIW, at least on the '04-'08 F150 with the 2.5" lift, SOME lifts don't give you the actual 2.5". I.E. my Rancho Quicklift 2.5 only gave me 1.75", but I also have a winch and brush guard... This got fixed with a set of Moog HD coils in the struts to...

So I can manage with my old gear. I know not a lot of CB love here, I am guessing a lot of licensed amateur radio operators here. Just FWIW, CB is typically the gateway to amateur radio so there is that, but to the point... My 4x4 club requires CB, no questions asked. They have considered GMRS...

Sounds like the overall consensus aside from the go with GMRS crowd, which isn't really an option given my 4x4 club.... anyway seems like I should give up on the 102" whip. Pity, it's a great antenna that I ran for years on my CJ-7, and on the front wall of the bed of the F150, tennis ball to...
