They can still be had for $629usd from a handful of internet sources...the version with 100' cable + roller fairlead.

I don't see the point. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can get that capacity out of sturdy come-along, with more flexibility and less weight, and no need for a power source.

I have no personal experience with this brand of winch. I do have experience with Ramsey and Warn, and would recommend either. Considering how reasonably priced the M8000 from Warn is if you shop around online, I really don't see the point in taking a $100-150 gamble on a no-name, no-service...

Nobody? Come on, somebody bought them to write about 'em in O.J., right?

In its day, I have no doubt that it was worth every penny. But that was a different time. Today, there is nothing in that book that one can't glean from reading on the web and learning from the (often comprehensively detailed) experiences of others. Having subscribed to OJ and having...

x3. That CAD looks worlds better than anything I've ever done to illustrate an idea using MSPaint. (understatement of the week...) Makes me wonder if there is a worthwhile, cheap non-pro CAD program out there...might be fun to have.

Dang, quite the camp setup. How long does it take to get that all set up? Broken down?

After reading the OJ article on these, I thought it might be fun to try one. But I can't seem to find any US-based online retailers for these lamps. Any suggestions?

I'll throw a couple out there. All were shot with the Fuji S5000 that I bought from Scott a couple years back for like $100, and have not seen any work except Windows XP Picture Resizer to get them to 800x600 for posting here. I think that positioning the dog lower in the frame, with less...

Some of the older boat trailers are nice. I had one for an old 14' Lund rowboat that was pretty stout. With a bit of customization, it could have been quite nice...but it got sold with the boat. Many of the newer ones, especially those that bolt together, are not so nice. What kind of...

Interesting argument. The extra couple hundred bucks for an ARB over a LS or non-selectable locker would quickly be eaten up the first time you inadvertently put the @ss end of your vehicle into something it ought not be put into. This may not matter to the guys who trailer their rigs...

Thanks for the input. I'm not thrilled about prepping/painting steel, but it would be nice to be able to weld it on instead of drilling dozens of holes in 1/4" steel to bolt down wood or bolt/rivet down aluminum. Guess I'll get back to thinking about metal... Note to others: that "expensive"...

With the weather warming up,I am hoping to finally complete my camping/canoe carrier trailer project from last year. But I need some input on what material to use for the decking and sides. I was thinking about plywood at first (either standard stuff that would be painted heavily or marine...

I just keep an extra set in the Jeep. I have yet to find a 13" blade that isn't a piece of crap. Even the one the dealer sells is garbage. Oh well.

Full-size 1911, .45acp. Daily carry = backcountry carry, at least in the backcountry I visit. Usually Milt Sparks IWB, sometimes Kramer OWB. With the recent addition of breeding populations of escaped-from-the-game-ranch Russian Boars to the Moose and Black Bear we already have here in MI, I...

Yes, we did, and it seems like the best deal out there right now in a solid do-it-all battery.

Stick or Auto? If it's a stick, I think you'd be fine IF you make sure that the gearing is proper for the tire size you're running. If it's an auto, hell no - my 4.0Auto is sluggish enough, I can't even imagine an auto with the 4cyl! If it's a clean vehicle that has been properly maintained...

Depends on the vehicle being pulled out. I have two towing clusters, plus the winch/straps/chains, that ride in the Jeep in the winter. Except for those vehicles that have totally slipped off the roadway and down a major ditch, most cars don't need that much help to get back out the way they...

Out of curiosity, who would confiscate them? Who would even be examining them to know one way or another? Maybe I am just spoiled, living in a state that does no vehicle/emissions inspections/testing, but I can't imagine how anyone would be allowed to get close enough to my personal property...

Amen. I never had a filling-spilling problem with a good old metal can with a flexy metal spout... I just ordered another 4 Wedco cans from ExEx, and hopefully they actually have them in stock. This should be a good compliment to my 8 NATO cans and 4 Scepter cans... Between stocking up on...
