    Post up your drawer/storage system

    This is mine in the back of my LJ I used 3/8 russian birch I think they are like 7 layers. Could not convince my self that I needed 1/2" even less 3/4". IMO to much weight and to much lost space. And very sturdy anyway as it is. Fridge and bottom drawer slide lock in and out, only one lock...

    de lorme in reach

    Same here as all of the above. Had it for two more than a year now. Gf friend was more confortable when we would leave the kids behind at a friend or with family. Kids would also be more confortable knowing that mom could be reach and that she was still safe. Their dad died in a car accident...

    Air Compressor Location

    My viair is just behind my driver seat, bolt to the floor along the tunnel. Perfect fit, and still some room for small feet. But mine came with a hose and foam air filter for air intake. So if it is not working when fording water, I do not think that it should be a problem under the hood. I...

    Regular miter saw and a steel blade?? Can you give the detail about the blade, I always thought that the rpm need was different. Very curious about that. Always wanted to get the real mccoy from dewalt, but never could bite the bullet. Would go away from the dust wheel if I could aford it.

    Sand to Snow North America

    Wow, Nice trip plan. If you are coming back toward Montreal after, I would add Le Massif de Charlevoix in Petite Riviere st-Francoi, east of Quebec city. That is if you come back before mid april. We have been getting good snow since the beginning of december, and hardly any rain at all.

    Modified Off Road Trailer Build 2017 (M.O.R.T)

    Just a tought. If I were you and probably like many others here, I would go with 3500 pounds hubs. Bearing will be better and beeffier, shaft would also be much stronger. Off road and bigger tire put lots of stress on huds and axles. And you do not want to be stuck out theire cause you...
