Fan of simple camping gear here. Love all the old Coleman stuff but that cube 9 volt EverReady battery powered flashlight is a real theowback! Just getting into this thread. Nice work

While we planned a trio to Iceland (that got cancelled unfortunately) I spoke with my nephew who had been there. They did a lot of dirt and gravel roads and even mild to mid level water crossings. I think' depending on the time of year's its expected there?

Ah. I never realized wheelbase was affected too

...the wheelbase does not shorten when you lift a truck, does it? Are you referring to the Track (width). Even still's the track doesnt really get narrower' just the wheels are at an angle such that you will be riding more along the outside adge' unless you get altered A arms with th steering...

If it hasn't already been said outright, a half ton truck will likely be AT its listed limit at 1700 pounds in the bed. So if your camper is 1500 and you weight, say, 200, then you are done. 3/4 ton will carry in the area of 4,000 payload, so 1500 will be a breeze

^^^ this. And, while Ford it technically the best selling truck in the US for the last 40 years. Be advised, the GMC Sierra and the Chevy Silverado are the same truck because they are both GM, but are counted separately because they are different name brands. Add those two manufacturers...

Well, it IS Christmastime, after all

Surprised, Eddie?

And could probably get an intern at an even lower rate!

CLAM BOX!!!! I used to have to drive 1A from Beverly up through to what used to be Cable Hospital, hook right on 133 through Essex and on to Gloucester. On my way back, I'd split off 133/ 1A and cut through Rowley. Hit the Agawam Diner. Nice ride. Good work on the truck. Nice that you...

Ah. Thought stitch down and Goodyear were one and the same. Thanks al

Rugged. I had those same side steps on both my 90/91 short bed and my 94 full size k1500 Blazer Silverado

While I understand you did not mention me, I do just want to add fwiw: I'm in my mid-50's. I've worked for big companies, mom and pop shops, municipalities, union, and non-union and the smallest business I know - my own, where I was a one-man show and I can tell you this: That does not change...

I have and wear Blundstones near every day. I do have other boots but the ability to just slip these on is perfect for taking the dog out early in the morning in bad weather and slipping them off again at the 3 season porch in the way back in. My hiking boots are Oboz Bridgers but that's a...

Well, this IS an ops Manager position, albeit in name only... And they would just have to be very specific in documenting and switching out on-call time for in-shop time, as working over 40 hrs per week without overtime pay is a violation of FLSA for laborers, which this job really is. Payroll...

Ya. And after a rough customer service interaction, where would thier head be as they put the wheels back on?

I was thinking the same thing. Fleet mechanic and customer service are two different things. Im not sure what the market out in Denver is, but around here, you'd have a hard time attracting candidates for either one of those positions at that salary. I don't think the ad mentions benefits...

Yeah Jupiter, I know. Very easy for the govt and NRC to say nothing significant was emitted if they did not use the proper detection gear or check downwind. Pictures of the radiation burns on the girl who had been outside riding her bike, for example, are kind of terrible. The amount of dead...

Thanks for the info. Understand that when I was a kid in the '70's we were told all about what people thought the future would be like. Solar power - cool and we saw it in a lot of science fi. Flying cars. Electrification. I'm not against it. But I have worked with a municipality that has...

-Nobody drives or charges their cars at 9pm so close to the winter solstice? -There is no need for load planning during extreme weather going forward? -Massachusetts also suffers from NIMBY, see the Kennedy family shutting down Cape Wind project. project. - I was around at the time of 3 mile...
