Now the telescoping tongue with the max coupler compatible end built in. This was the most difficult part, requiring a lot of home “machine shop” games. Lots of grinding and drill press, plus a bunch of welding. There are definitely easier and perhaps smarter ways to do this, but I committed...

I caught local pickup but missed your location? Where is local?

I usually think of CL as a sub $5k market, figuring that is about the limit of what most people can scrape together in cash. Selling higher than that, I’ve had much better luck just doing the park near the highway with a sign in the window thing. As far as buying, I love CL in a depressed...

You only mention that your voltage drop is excessive, yet never say what it is or where and how you measured. This group can help fix that if you share details.

Are there no mini storages where you are going? I understand that everyone wants to have all their own stuff at their fingertips all the time, but a teardrop could store very nicely waiting to be picked up on Thursday or Friday night and dropped back off on Sunday or Monday and solve all of...

Or you can give up on the socket entirely and use terminal strips with screws and ring terminals for a connection point. The cord can still be unplugged from the fridge end if needed.

so there you go. Product idea: Spoiler Delete Kit. A cover panel, pan head socket cap screws, and a can of factory matched touch up paint. Make them titanium or magnesium for “weight reduction”, laser a logo into them, and charge $500. you could become easily a hundredaire while the rest of...

Do you really unbolt and remount your axle when towing behind a different vehicle? To the OP, the bigger the circle the easier it rolls over stuff...

Remove the spoiler? It isn’t doing anything once you throw a tent on top.

keep the basket, as it makes up for in organization what it loses in direct efficiency. theoretically though, it would probably operate at highest efficiency if it was full of a uniform fluid like water with no containers that would be insane and impractical as far as forced air vs other form...

I don’t know a ton, but I’ve had one running in each car for 4-5 years now. An ARB 47 and a CFX ... 35? Basically, the coils on the inner surface are what get cold, and you have to get the heat from the food to those coils, so things that conduct are helpful (water, metal cans) and things...

Did he win the unspoken but frequently bragged about “Shortest Camp Setup Time” Trophy?

How long has it been running? Since it isn’t a forced air unit like your kitchen fridge, it can take a (very long) while to make ice. If it is essentially empty other than the water you want to freeze, you might go days before you get ice cubes. Lots of posts here about expectations and...

Hard to believe any pickup with an 8’ bed would only be 76” inside. A sheet of plywood wouldn’t fit with a closed tailgate. 97-98” much more likely, although I do not have one to measure.

If you have zero CAD experience, google sketch up is free and popular. I have limited CAD experience and find sketch up to be annoying, as it is a drawing program more than a precision design program, but it is really hard to compete with SolidWorks or any of the Auto Desk products on the cheap...

On a related but side note: the fake aircraft remover that you can get at Lowe’s is useless crap. $45 for a gallon and it will barely bubble auto paint after 20 minutes, requires a metal scraper and barely loosens 2 coats of paint. I’m going to have to go back to da sanding as primary means...

I didn’t see the truck either. Maybe it is like that 3-D art where you cross your eyes a bit and look past the front into the depth of the picture and there is a sailboat, or truck, or something?

On my trucks I’ve always sworn by Line-X. I did the interior of a blazer with Herculiner once, while very strong/hard it wasn’t thick and never seemed to build enough for any sound deadening. Sold the truck after 2 years so I don’t know how well it held up. I recently tried some RustOleum...

Got decent weather and a block of time to open up the tent. Pics show what I believe the critical points are to most buyers. You can see the travel cover is rough and tent would probably like another one,but it has done years on top of the Jeep in Fresno and Desert sun. Slight discoloring of...

Hey Joe! Welcome back. If you are willing to drill holes in your slats, you can generally mount almost any tent. However, the tighter profile can make mounting anything a PITA.
