    Is a swing out tire carrier worth it, or more of a PITA than it is worth?

    The thing with that, is you have to lift it and lower it in place. And You have it in your legs and have to walk, over or around it. I guy I know and that is also here made something that is not to heavy for his xterra. @Nd4SpdSe he might show up here, or you might look into his treads. You...

    I dd not see any warning on the deck restorer I used. But in case, The drawer system I used it on is in my mostly open top jeep LJ. So not to worry about emanation. But worth consider for others. But still wonder. If you use it, it is because your pressure treated lumner is kind of not...

    Help getting dog to climb into rooftop tent

    A boxer should be a bit of a jumper. Mi would try a step down and he would simply jump 2 spets instead of one. Ramp would not be as high, he might not be as scared and comming down would not be worst than coming of a bed. Bear as a nice patio paint that included none slipery texture and is...

    Bike rack on a tire swingarm

    This would make way more sence. Reducing the center of gravity, reducing the stress on the swivel of the tire carrier and reducing the wind drag, improving gas milage and again, reducing force on the tire carrier spindle.

    Permenant import from Europe

    An about cleaning, make that steam high pressure clean! Cause they would charge you to have it clean in port, so you will not be the one doing it. Can be very pricy.

    Compressor vs. Power Tank ?

    Most of my trail buds have tanks, I have a OBA with in between frame rail reserve tank. Guess who never have to worry about how full is air tank is. And easy to have an air extension hose for other rigs. But even if they have some issues refiling them, they still like them. Have to admit...
