    Different Scepters?

    Love that EXPO! Thanks guys...fast and great intel! Gotta love the portal! So if I'm following this correctly, the color of the cap strap (whatever its really callsed? LOL) indicates the type of fuel its "supposed" to have in it. Cool. And the reality is if I could find some gaskets I could...

    Different Scepters?

    Strange question guys (and gals)? Does anyone know if there is a difference in Scepter fuel cans for gas vs diesel? I was passing several in the motorpool last night and the thought struck me that they all say simply "fuel"?? Does it matter as long as one knows what they have in it?

    Toughest and best all round truck or suv

    To many choices... Not really possible to say what is "THE" best choice here. There are a pile of options out there. Being a Jeep guy I will try and resist my obvious thoughs and my cheapness by nature. Some of what you wish doesn't make much sense or seem "needed" given how you discribe you...

    RTT strange thought...

    Very Cool! Thanks for the linkey! Neat one there and does pretty much what I was thinking of. Now just have to see how the price would compare to a regular RTT and my "shell"fish idea...? heehee

    Diesel News: POST HERE

    Well, at the rate we are going we all won't have to worry about having jobs! There are many alternatives we have just somehow chosen to be led to believe a daily commute is "required". One would have to get very serious about change before that could be reversed but it is doable. Personally I...

    Diesel News: POST HERE

    Dreaming... And imagine if all were diesels, Bio diesel was made to work year round w/no issues, and people quit being in such a hurry and slowed to 45-55mph!:Wow1:

    Batteries

    My humble... Just my humble opinion from a few years and a few trails...ahem. For a DD that is 90% paved road and the rest nothing more than fireroads...Go with just a good quality, High CCA off the shelf batt with a warranty. Its gonna do what needs doing and unless it has a flaw will last...

    RTT strange thought...

    Whoop...there it almost is? Yeah, That's kinda what I am talking about...sorta? That may be a little more involved than I was thinking but it does the job. I was just thinking of a molded shell that could slip over the RTT (in stowed mode) and then latch or strap into place..? To bad I know...

    J8 Expedition Project:

    Fixer...James Fixer! Maybe a pedistal mount and a flip open roof to allow the fixer to clear the road with a giant hot water MG from an on board tank? Heehee. Sorry. This is so far beyond my scope to duplicate I am just awed...fantastic work guys. I dig the little safe/spare tire thingy too. Is...

    RTT strange thought...

    Yes....and, sorta? Yeah, Sorry, didn't do a very good job of explaining that randumb thought. haha. I was meaning a form fitting shell that only covers it while stowed. Kinda like those...Thule(?) boxey things that go on top of cars for travel. a little more aero dynamic than the square face of...

    RTT strange thought...

    So I have been dreaming about RTTs for a while and had a strange thought. All of the ones I see that are essentually a Tent based unit have a soft cover. With the exceptions of the obvious AH and its vertical lift and the flip-pacs... So why doesn't anyone make a hard "turtle shell" type cover...

    Warn powerplant

    My thoughts... Mostly just rehashing others here based on my own history. Warn has alwasy made an outstanding product. The 8274 has got to be the best design of all time. They work, are fast, have great line speed and even bigger/extra length cable. They are fully rebuildable and can be often...

    Living in a Shipping Container...

    Small world! No kidding...! I'd have to ask but if I'm not mistaken I have family from around there somewhere I think. IIRC Mom was from those parts but to be honest I am the "bad son" (joking) that doesn't follow the family/reletives very closely. I'm sure my sisters would rattle off a list...
