    Portable Charcoal Grills

    I assumed that since you said "you only use LP now". My bad. It is just a difference of opinion. I prefer the carcinogens and taste of wood compared to LP. All good.

    Gas - Plastic or metal

    I believe so. But I have also heard that the CARB cert has something to do with permeation. If I understand the CARB law, if you have a "non-CARB" can with just a cap and no nozzle, it is legal. If you have a nozzle in a non carb can, it is not.

    Gas - Plastic or metal

    I believe it has to do with CARB certification. New cans that have a CARB cert number are legal, steel or otherwise as I have heard. More to do with how it pours. I think a "loophole" is not to have a spout in it, just a cap.

    Gas - Plastic or metal

    Google is your friend. I was told by a ranger (on a trail in Big Bear) that if I had gasoline in my non-CARB gas cans, it was a $300 fine per can. I did not get a ticket. I do not know the code or law. I was also warned by the sports shop selling the adventure pass that it was a thing. I have a...

    Gas - Plastic or metal

    Here in California in the BLM and NF, it is a $300 fine per can (if it has gasoline in it) if it is not CARB approved. The old steel cans are a no no. Most plastic cans do not have the CARB cert as well. I carry Rotopax now. At first, I did not like them simply because I "had to comply". Now I...

    Portable Charcoal Grills

    Give some mesquite charcoal a try, you will give up "LP" flavor for good. It can be a bit "sparky", so use in a safe area.

    Knife thread

    Welcome Bob! You just lost your anonymity, LOL. I have admired your work often. I particularly enjoy your file work. BEAUTIFUL! It has been years since I have made a folder. I am looking to slow down a bit and jump back in. I kept all my equipment. Still have billets of damascus from the mid...

    Knife thread

    The bottom folder is one I made in '99. I retired it last Christmas when my wife bought me a Chris Reeve sebenza. The top is a early Elishewitz and the middle is an early Maxwell. The Sebenza, very nice knife, sturdy and operates like silk.

    Mic flush mount?

    Bulkhead style. Attaches with two screws or rivets. We run two 400's and use this style and wrap in velcro and attach to side of center console far back between seat. Both installs required a extension anyway...

    Tool Overkill?

    Do you mean, the small ATC tarp will fit in the shop roll pouch? Can you post up some other ideas/tips I may have missed? I carry way too much gear but I am not going to make any excuses for it. Just found a pic of mine, it does not have the zippered pouch. It is a few years old though.

    Tool Overkill?

    What if it is your rig that needs repair and I did not bring enough tools? I often use tools on other rigs. To me it so right in soo many ways. Duplicating does not mean doubling the cost. You can buy less expensive tools for the trail. Cheap enough to let a downed rig have it if it will get...

    Charging system gurus, On board welder help - Land Rover

    Better than the dummy light is seeing the voltage. A simple voltmeter (nothing too complicated) will tell the health and status of your system. For instance, at rest, no charging, you should be able to see what your batteries charged voltage is and then be able to see a draining or dying battery...
