800 yards? On a game animal? That is just under half a mile. My longest shot on a big game animal is just shy of 400 yards, and that is a LONG shot when hunting. Agree that the 300 WM is a great cartridge - more powerful than really needed but excellent. I shoot a 7mm Rem Mag on big game, which...

The wagon train immigrants brought flour, sugar, coffee, tea, bacon, salt pork, dried beans and fruit, sourdough starter, live stock (cattle and pigs), and possible some root vegetables that would keep during the trip. Hunting along the trail was possible, but there were a lot of people...

My latest pup, Tommy. He's a bird dog.

A long, interesting thread... I am in this business - the RTT business - so I'll pipe in with a few comments... I would never discourage anyone from doing their own thing, even building something that is mounted on the roof of a vehicle and travels down the road at 70 MPH, holds and protects...

I found that the rear anit-sway bar from a 62, installed on my 60 hlped noticeably in road driving in the mountains. I had OME 2-1/2" lift, and installed the sway bar when I replaced the rear axle with a FF. This is a cheap fix for better on-road handling. They can easily be set up with a quick...

The EU200i that I have is QUIET and cost about $900. I have little experience with other brands. Quiet is very important, as is parts and service centers, accessories, warranty, etc. Mike

I were you, I'd call the dealer and put a generous refundable deposit on it using a credit card) to hold it until you can get there. Then fly down and check it out thoroughly. At that point you could buy it or not. I already have one, so no worries.

Shoes can be stuffed under the tent platform. I use a hanging net bag that is suspended from the tops of the lift arms of the Maggiolina - one hook in each arm at the foot end of the tent. I climb up, sit on the platform in the doorway with my feet on the ladder and remove boots and socks and...

The OME stuff is worth the price after a few miles on corduroy roads. I assume your mean a disk brake conversion? Mike

SOLD. Thank you all for your interest! Mike S

One more bump. Have buyers but no money yet. I prefer not to sell this on Craig's List. Mike

Here's our newest fabric tent This is the OverZone. It is based on the OverLand but with a number of improvements suggested by users. OJ is testing one now - and apparently thoroughly, since they have had it for some time. I expect that they will do a write up sometime in the next couple of...

Excellent job, Drew. Looks outstanding behind your nice 40. Congratulations on the design, execution and follow-through. Mike

The "hairline cracks" are crazing in the gelcoat, and pose no structural or functional problem. It is very easily remedied with gelcoat restoration products - about $10. M

Wade - I sent a photo. Let me know if it doesn't make it through the filters. Mike

Excellent Batteries. I would love to have them for my trailer, but the savings over new will not pay for my fuel to drive to Prescott and back.

Will deliver I will deliver anywhere in Northern Cal or NW Nevada. Or meet you part way. Thanks.

You need only concern yourself about the load on each switched circuit. If you design the circuits so that only one pair of 100W lights is on each one, then you will have a load of 2 X 8.333 Amps (or 16.666 Amps total) on that circuit. Amps X Volts = Watts. 20A x 24V = 480W, 480/12 = 40 Amps...

You should calculate the wire run for the total rated amperage X 1.5, and go one size larger. relays are available to handle up to about 30 amps. Fuse the wire at 1.5X the actual max amperage load.

Allen Caught in Sea of Cortez near Punta Arenas de la Ventanas, east of Juan des Planes. I love the place! When I was a young man I used to pull salmon on a commercial troller. I ate a lot of salmon, but I still love it.
