I had to replace my portable 120w panel as it was run over by a prius. My bad for forgetting to take it off the top of my Jeep before driving. I was never really happy with the output. It was rated at 120w but I could never see 70w. I did a short resaerch on this type of panel and rockpals...

Variola Major killed about 30% of those infected. Nice bunch of guys here. I will camp alone regardless of my generator status.

I prefer common sense over legislation. That is MY liberty.

If you are in so cal, I have a few warn mount plates that are basic but would be a good start point for your project.

You refer to the term "soaked", which, yes you could not hold even 200f, which is safe. All good, just thought I would share real info. If you are skilled enough to warm a shackle evenly, then you have no reason to consider the result a risk. I know I am not that skilled. To me and a lot of...

The small cylinder type found at hardware stores produce 3600F, 10 times what is needed to start an annealing of moderately hard martensitic or austenitic alloys. If you completly soak a shackle at 1100f, it will be the equivalent hardness of A36 (mild) steel. If you heat only part of it to...

My propane torch can cut 5" of AR500. Propane has the highest BTU rating of cutting/exothermic gasses. An American made shackle will start to loose RC hardness at 350º F. The real problem is not the hardness, it is the RC hardness differential, the spot where the hardened and annealed molecules...

It took me a while to figure out all that stuff you mentioned. I was a die hard steel rope and clevis guy. I shed 35lbs swapping over. I kept 2) 3/4" shackles just in case. I have had synthetic winch line for years, but steel hooks, shackles, blocks, etc. My wife is a fiair rigger and can get me...

Yikes! How much WLL do you think you loose when you put heat to a steel pin or shackle? You should probably mention this to a supervisor or safety officer at your company. Any steel that you annealed has been compromised and lost hardness and strength. BE SAFE!

It looks like you clicked through an affiliate site and arrived at yankum. Again, I am not trying to be a sore thumb, I too am against profit from pyramid schemes. Can you show the web address?

You really think he makes some $$ from all those different companies? I certainly don't dispute it, but please explain, I am not seeing how bubba and factor 55 are even remotely tied.

I see you have some experience using rigging and steel. Would you recommend steel to guys (who off road) who are not experts and have maybe one or two recoveries under their belt?

The deciding factor for me switching to soft rigging was safety, second was weight. It is usually my wife hooking me up. I saved 35lbs switching over. Too much info with hard rigging hurting people in our situation. I am not a rigging expert and most likely neither is the guy helping me or...

Most attachment points made it the last few years account for soft shackle use. It is a very easy and quick task to round the edges for soft shackle use

Thanks a bunch! Glad to have a RTT! Safe travels.

Haha, it is a destructive little round I have heard.

17HMR is or was a wildcat. Nice flat flying ballistics too. What do you primarily use it for?

I would say "different" over better. The 20P goes subsonic around 350yds but moves at 3800-4000 FPS,depending on the load. The bullets vary from 30-38 grain compared to the 223's 50-68ish grain. It is a varmint round by nature. I have a few 223 Wyldes that can reach 500yds fairly accuratley but...

Anyone shooting 20P, 20T or any of the 17 cal stuff? What is your favorite? I just had a custom gun built by Carlson Precision here in So. Cal. This is one of my favorites right now. 3900fps and dead on to 350yds. It starts with a 223 brass and it's necked to 20cal. This one has a Defiance...

Nothing quite like a stout 2x72 grinder! Here is mine w/ cardboard sharpening wheel loaded with green rouge....
