I picked up my Ozark 26 today. Initial impression is that it is well made, but the pad on the handle is too thin and it's not going to hold up. Will need a new, fatter pad in a couple years. The cooler is big for a 26 and very heavy for its size. Not quite what I want for lugging a bunch of...

I would have posted sooner but I just got back from a quick trip. Last week my favorite old Igloo MaxCold small cooler finally disintegrated its handle. That cooler actually works and at 12"x16"x16" is a perfect fit for my truck (I also carry a fridge, an Orca 58 rotomolded, and an Igloo 50...

The first AntiGravity XP1 I bought, shortly after they hit the market, came from the Snap-On truck. Not manufactured by nor labeled for Snap-On. I liked the XP1 enough that I ordered another one from the same Snap-On truck. That next one was not AntiGravity, but an "incredible simulation,"...

Good idea to build it to meet your specific needs, but it won't be a PW when done. The PW's towing and payload specs are a result of the design factors that try to optimize flex and articulation, and partially to keep weight down. A PW will go places yours won't and yours will haul stuff that...

I don't use the voltage cutout on mine, but I have a pair of house batteries to power it. I set mine to max cold and forget about it. Last year we had ice cream in the desert when it was near 120F (recorded 128F on 8/31/15). Should have gotten a fridge years ago.

Whatever Warn did in their design of this unit, it works. There is no tank drain for the intercooler, but there is a gizmo on the inlet side that looks like a brass sponge or filter. I think that allows the tank to vent moisture before it enters the air hose. I have never noticed any moisture...

Warn SPI in front of the radiator. And a Viair 300P under the tool box for backup.

Some of the early Odyssey 34/78 dual terminal batteries had an internal mechanical connection failure, but I think it was on one of the side terminals. If yours was two years old, it was still under warranty.

First clean all connections, especially the ground connections. Reassemble with a little dielectric grease. Test. If no start, jump the battery to a good ground and to the starter/solenoid. If that starts it, change the cables. if no start, then you have other issues.

I have had a lot of BFG ATs and AT/KOs, including the set that came as original equipment on my Power Wagon. They just don't seem to be the right tire for my kind of use on heavy vehicles. I have had tread separations and nasty front end shimmy with BFGs, but never had that problem with BFG...

Without solar, that's not going to happen with a G34 from any manufacturer. When it's warm, that won't happen with anybody's G31 either. The Optima Yellow and the Optima Blue dual purpose are electrically the same, with the only difference being the case color and the extra studs on the Blue...

Then I suspect there is something else going on here. I am running 35" Toyo AT-IIs on a quad Cab Power Wagon and nothing is getting chewed up. I am not as heavy as OPs rig, but I have a cab high camper and lots of gear in the truck, so dry weight is north of 8500. My theory is that the...

Just curious, why not?

FWIW, I run 35s on the ground for my Power Wagon, and I have the original 33" spare under the bed. But I also have onboard air and a patch kit and a few cans of sealer/inflator. If I can't keep the truck moving with that stuff, I will put the 33 on the front and keep going until I can get to...

And use the manufacturer's SOC chart for your specific battery.

Most battery manufacturers' websites have graphs that show SOC vs OCV. Put a copy of the appropriate graph in your glove box, and and long as you know approximate OCV, you will know approximate SOC. It's close enough for all practical purposes.

The Ctek 25000 was a recommended charger for the Odyssey Grp 31, and the Ctek 7002 was recommended for the smaller Odysseys. I could not get a 25000 because dealers thought California had banned them (not true), so I got a 7002 to try to keep my Odyssey 2150 happy. That battery is just sort of...

I may be old school, but my feeling is that if you don't know how to drive a stick, then you don't know how to drive. Get off the roads and trails and leave them to me. Thank you.

My Z71 originally came with 16" factory alloys and 265 or 275 BFGs. My first tire upgrade was to 295s on those same wheels. When those wore out, I put 315 BFGs on a set of 16" American Racing alloys that I bought used. When those wore out, I got a set of factory 17" wheels off a newer truck...

Not always. OP can probably add 1.5" of ground clearance with careful tire selection on stock suspension. That is a 3" taller tire. I went up about 5"+ in tire diameter on my K1500 with no suspension changes, but i needed wheels with a little more offset. Used stock GMC wheels from a...
