Questions regarding antenna locations and impacts to overall signal quality/shape, and impacts to other antenna/signals. I have done some reading, researching, and questioning, but have found some conflicting info. So hoping I can get some clarification here before drilling holes...since...

I totally symphatize there... so, instead of the full fledged camper, why not do something a little more simple like a oversized canopy shell, and build living quarters into that? make a modular system so it is still plenty comfy, but more robust and partly removable?

Wow..that's not good. You know it just boggles my mind how poor quality generally is across the board. And not even just campers. My friend is going through his boat and finding all sorts of design flaws and problems. And marine quality is supposed to be top quality too! The sad thing is...

Thanks seabass. Usually I do like setting up layouts as well but this was a bit hasty. As well as just needing to resolve a camping/sleeping problem. Tenting it is old to me now, and many places are no longer allowing it due to animal conflicts. It still works well though and is mostly what...

Sorting out a temporary solution to a longer term problem. Pretty satisfied thus far. Not perfect, but relatively simple to accomplish and works for now especially with time constraints to create something nicer. Looks to be hanging, but it's actually bolted to the side with two brackets...

Any updates there Carlyle? Looks like it's been a while. Nice build(s)! Curious to hear how longevity of the truck and camper have been with it being spring mounted.

Nice updates! How is this particular situation going with the drafting and dust intrusion? did the extra seals help? I wonder if they made a inside lip that would 'seal' with some weatherstrip when the roof was raised, and instead of just the top over the bottom changed the design so when...

Yeah you know I just was looking at those the other day as well. They seem to be basically like a copy of the Runnel's though... Maybe some sort of internal company split? I find it interesting that buckstop and runnel are basically the same company. Makes me wonder I guess. But certainly a...

Update regarding the steering? Sure thing! So before the steering shaft/gear all the suspension components, ball joints, steering linkage, etc.. all of it was replaced. Nothing was necessarily bad....but more of a preventative and 'renewing' thing. Steering was much better, mostly due to the...

PM sent

that looks pretty slick. I have checked before but never was able to find an ARB for the OBS though... As they are some nice products. The Buckstop series have different material options. Carbon steel, or an alumnium option (where its just really the outer corners that are alum, and SS)...

rnArmy, have you made a decision yet? Like Low_Sky said, It might be worth just going for a quick swim rather than hauling your kayak and expensive gear all the way up there for a quick 'lap'. I have a fair amount of kayaking experience here in the Puget Sound and some whitewater, and even...

Correct. Sorry should have posted that earlier. Just verified the part number is in fact 000981 It uses set-screws on both ends so not quite sure how I feel about that. But it seems to hold up so far. Haven't bene on any really rough roads yet since though so time will tell but they are...

The column is actually a Bourgeson. The original one was rapidly deteriorating at the crush sleeve/washer deal so I would highly recommend replacing yours ASAP. That could cause a major problem if it failed on the move.. Thanks for the motivation to keep building! It will slow down soon due...

In the Olympics a few years ago. Can't wait to find some new gems in NW MT though!

Ouch! Hey at least it didn't result in a wreck though, so that's good..it is concerning some. Makes me wonder about my suspension bolts from all that loos clunking. It must have been a manufacturer flaw though.

Agreed there for sure. For the cost of what they are made, and a high markup, like most consumer products these days, is terrible... Greed world wide is horrible in general. ?

Well, personally I disagree with your first claim. It is separate for each individual person. Some have used these a lot. And many comparisons, even by the owner of this website which was as scientific as possible, have proven the advantages of maxtrax over other cheaper alternatives (again...

I'm not sure I agree with these last two posts. Though the argument is valid and should be considered, I think a more appropriate point of discussion is not necessarily how often the items are used, but rather the implications of having them vs not. Even if the item is only used once in a...

Oh wow I didn't realize it was that much of a difference. Haven't been up there in a while....
