Maybe this was already suggested and I missed it, but have you considered offsetting the door to one side, allowing a solid kitchen space that nobody has to walk through the center of while you are trying to cook?

Soak it all in dark roast first! Seriously, I carry the little pour over thing, but drink Via most of the time, unless I bring the percolator for a large group.

Also wondering what locals use? It seems like tents have been used on the Arabian peninsula for thousands of years. Maybe they just deal with dust?

There is a lot to unpack in those questions: 1) would a rooftop tent sit on top of your 24” trailer lid box, or is this cargo cover only? 2) how would you attach this box? I think there are many ways to attach this box without it breaking off depending on what it is made of 3) I’m curious of...

Good luck finding rebuild supplies!

I too am curious about this. I’ve seen several times in different threads that you believe “technician” is a negative term. At my work currently, our average manufacturing worker is called an “operator”. I’m trying to make a transition to “technician” through more knowledge, training, and...

I think a key is to stop paying book time and start paying actual time. Artificially incentivizing corner cutting and poor work hurts the consumer. The increased reliability of newer cars and people’s propensity for run to failure also undermines the development of a relationship between shop...

Do they also add 45 seconds at the end of your life to cover the ads you watched? Maybe spot an extra 15 seconds for the misleading title that baited you into watching in the first place? That would be nice!

YouTube has certainly been a game changer for DIY. I thank those that take the time to create high quality content. Now as for sorting through the crap to find the quality...

You have to consider that 90+% of Yosemite visitors have virtually no snow driving experience and are rolling in poorly prepped cars and think they are a million miles from help. The reality is that traffic will back up on you in seconds if you have an issue, although communication is limited...

Yosemite roads and associated road conditions are pretty binary. They are often either fine or closed, without a bunch of grades in between. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a 2wd van to Yosemite valley in any season. We used to do it frequently in our Dodge Charger, similarly RWD on street...

The absolute worst 3rd party auto service experience of my life was at a “5-Star” Jeep dealership that claimed to have a 100% positive feedback rating. Their work was borderline criminal. Second worst was another (different) local Chrysler dealership. Their scam was actually criminal, but I...

Dog bed at Walmart. Cheap, easy, and kids love it. My toddler still naps in one in front of the fireplace constantly. Sometimes I join her. We don’t have a dog so there isn’t an issue with territory. On edit: My wife thought I was a world class moron for suggesting dog bed, then slowly...

I have 2 sets of 5 spotless take-offs in Fresno Cali. I would make you a great deal on a set if you were passing through, but I’m not interested in shipping and I promise you’re not interested in paying to ship them. On edit... mine are all the light silvery grey, I’m guessing when you say...

Any more updates on the tires? I’m really curious, as I could see myself going this way for my Jeep.

Yes, you can get by. When you come upon a situation you can’t winch out of you are no more screwed than you would have been without a winch, yet you still benefited from all the uses leading up to that point in time.

1) Your brain. If your model is insufficient, you may wish to contract the services of another 2) Patience. This is infinitely more important if you are deficient in number 1. 3) vehicle and environment dependent... but a shovel is probably next on my list... possibly a hi-lift, but I think I...

I only had a truck not a van, but IPR and Standpipes are common failures. On a truck, an IPR is a PITA but you can do your own in the driveway in 3-4 hours depending on your dedication and drinking. Standpipes are more work but not impossible. Changing or not changing them does not guarantee...

Yes, I have a 99 GMT 400 burb. Happy to grab a few measurements if you want me to this weekend. Pretty busy until then.
