    trailer frame material

    I think 3x2 with the 3 vertical is better and for that matter 3x1.5 is better yet. If the tubing is welded to the metal bed than there is very little horizontal stress. .095 is probably ok but I would go ,120 If you want to gusset to spread the load around the spring mounts than thats great...

    How to move heavy picnic table with 1 person?

    You have been camping for 35 years in national forests and you can't figure out how to move a picnic table or work around its location? I find that lack or resourcefulness from someone with so much experience shocking. I would think if you are somewhat disabled you would be a lot more aware...

    Airing down

    Old timers used to splash some water on the road and drive through it and lower the air pressure until the contact patch matched the tire tread width. This for street driving. There are many variations such as some sort of marker on the tire, etc.

    $200 5KW Portable Diesel Air Heater

    I would think anyone who might be considering purchase of the unit. No way would I be interested if I couldn't use it for hot water only or hot air only. Seems to me like trying to get hot water from it ads way too much complexity and possible failure problems.

    Who makes the best rims?

    How many of the companies listed in these threads actually make rims? It seems to me that any company that outsources them could change manufacturers at any time and put their pretty sticker on anything they choose to sell

    Some traction for the front of an f150. Which would you pick?

    If I was most concerned with traction while driving on roads in 4wd in snow than I would get the torsen, if I wanted traction off road than the E locker. Id get an arb over the e locker if it was available

    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    I would consider where the vehicle spends most of its life and the environment it lives in. If stored inside in a climate where rust and humidity is not an issue than a cheaper winch will probably be fine. The more it gets away from an ideal environment to large temp fluctuations, salt...

    Who makes the best rims?

    Weld forged made in the USA. I am not going to be stupid enough to say that they are the best but I would take a long look at them. They have had a reputation to top of the line wheels for many decades

    So if your diesel engine weighs 200lbs more than a gasser but because it gets better gas mileage it has more payload? Can you explain the math? I am aware that gas weighs 8.4 lbs per gallon and diesel weighs 7.
