I can see where that might be surprising. I would say that we use disposables more often for parties / invited groups than just family or 1-2 friends. Much of that depends on the food style or occasion. Formal holiday meal… China and place settings. BBQ / Pizza / Pool party… disposable...

If this surprises you, don’t even consider looking into how many families routinely eat meals at home with disposables. I recently got into a conversation with a co-worker about “how difficult” her life has become since having a kid and how she wouldn’t survive if she had to do dishes…. “Um…...

Yes, here they are commonly called straight-wall industrial containers or bins. My impression was that the shipping cost was usually pretty significant… likely for all the reasons that you want them!

I ended up making custom wood crates and haven’t regretted it one bit.

I bought the AT Chaser referenced by Ghost65 a few pages back. It was 2007, and appeared to spend most of its life in arid or desert environments. I did a frame-off overhaul with some significant modification. One issue I had to deal with was fairly significant rust (1/3-1/2 depth of the...

So I just left REI and they had several of the cans, but I passed because the propane hookup protrudes from the side of the van about 1.5”. Does this keep it from being mounted in an ammo can holder? I see the picture of the “deluxe” can looks to have a better design, but they didn’t have any...

When you say Coax Cable was replaced… did that involve cutting a custom length or installing a custom termination on either end? It is possible that the shield connection is messed up.

People who sleep with bears for warmth generally smirk at the “three dog” crowd! But don’t worry, Wolverine owners are rolling their eyes and trading knowing looks about the whole group!

I’ll make an attempt at recording and posting mine tomorrow. My link to trans temp is thin at best, but the list of otherwise eliminated stuff is really long. Interestingly, the noise in my Jeep is hard to hear from the passenger seat but really obvious from the drivers. It seems to come from...

Watch your transmission temp. I would describe my sound as a humming / buzzing. It only occurs while accelerating, in drive, and transmission temps usually over 150, closer to 170. I suspect the sound I’m hearing is fluid bypassing a seal or valve. It got somewhat better when I took apart...

There are 2 possibilities, one is the HVAC system, it goes into a standby / park mode and a big door moves behind the glovebox. Pull out the glovebox and you should be able to see it moving. Mine only does this when changing modes or about 30 seconds after shutting off the ignition. The...

Depending on where you live, you will probably find your household shower flows 1-3 gpm. You really don’t need much if you have good pressure (30-ish psi). Time how long it takes to fill a bucket with your garden hose and judge from there.

I did not know about these. Will the various DIY guys that posted similar efforts over the years start kicking themselves now?

I am not a slide engineer, but I am certain that the bearings carry the load and are subject to wear all the time, not just while extended. My hypothesis would be that a taller (stronger) section is needed to carry equivalent load at full extension, but the detracting recommendations are based...

Did you make it off the roadside?

That is very simple. I would guess that something like 1” x 1/16” will serve you just fine. Getting something taller 2” or 1-1/2” would be better, but really just easier to assemble. Properly rated drawer glides are more important. Most will say to de-rate something like 3x for mobile use...

Is the Timbren Spindle an EZ-Lube spindle? If they are hearing “no lubrication” and it wasn’t on a spindle designed for it, then using the EZ lube center cap doesn’t lube anything. They are probably saying no warranty for lack of lubrication when it sounds like you are saying it was sold as...

As an additional thought, something similar in size to the drawer glides you bought will have a similar carrying capacity to their rating, assuming adequate connections.

The thickness doesn’t matter as much as the size (section height). In general, your question is too broad to be accurately answered. Can you put up a sketch of what you are thinking for ideas?

I think from the public service announcement standpoint, it is worth focusing on one item: Did Dexter ever say the bearings came pre-lubricated or pre-packed? It seems important to know if the manufacturer of the trailer or of the wheel hub/bearing made the mistake here. I’m betting on the...
