    Dangerous Situations

    Since the OP posted this in 2011 and has not responded can we assume they were kidnapped?

    The Elon Musk "Love Will Keep Us Together" Appreciation Thread

    Oh they are heavily subsidized, about 5 billion worth last I saw, a drop,in the bucket compared to other corporate welfare programs. Here is the rub though. He didn’t invent those subsidies, they were offered by the government. He went were the subsidies were offered, anyone could apply for...

    What is the top tool for a recovery situation? [Poll]

    I think the intent is to ask if you only had access to one, which would you grab. I chose a recovery board because it can also be used as a shovel and gives you the best chance at recovery. I have had winches in every truck and only used them to pull other people out. The few times I got...

    Tesla Cybertruck: The Future?

    You make a great point. I wonder if that is indeed a lower hanging fruit and easier to pull of than rebuilding the grid and redesigning vehicles. Electric motor are better for a lot of reasons but maybe not when you consider the infrastructure that is already in place.

    Tesla Cybertruck: The Future?

    My 70yo Grumman aluminum canoe has held up really well and has been through a lot more than any 4x4. I’m thinking it’s a cost thing. Can probably get a better price if ordering SS for both rockets and trucks. I also wonder if the plan is to just vinyl wrap whatever they end up using,

    Month long trip through Utah and N Arizona

    I loved White Pocket as well. Spent two days there and wanted to stay longer but didn’t have enough water, even tried bumming some. There is great hiking and dispersed camping all around that area.

    For those wanting a REAL 4WD Mercedes Sprinter van!

    That’s a real high CofG. Do those have any sort of body roll control? Like a gyro? https://www.seakeeper.com/technology/

    1000 HP Maximus Gladiator to see limited release soon

    I don’t know the numbers but I live in Southern California and have only see a couple of the new jeeps. It’s a motor-sailer IMO, Doesn’t sail well or motor well. The gladiator doesn’t look like it pickup trucks well or off-roads well. It needs a diesel, with a turbo, to check more buyers boxes.

    HDPE vs. Full Drawer Slides

    Something to keep in mind with materials. What will happen if you are rear ended or roll over with all that wood vs plastic. You can get some denser HDPE in1/4” that is pretty stout. No glue will work well but mechanical, fastest work very well on the dense HDPE. Starboard HDPE is good...

    Ford 7.3 Diesel, what to look for?

    That age and low miles I would be checking out all the seals for leaks after getting it nice and warm. Parts can be tough for those older 7.3s but not impossible.

    Gazelle tents--how do they do in wind and rain?

    I have a T4 and love it. A lot of room, VERY airy without the rain fly, it has a mesh ceiling, great for falling asleep looking at stars. The doors are awkward but you get used to it. The bowed out walls make it feel bigger, you can get two cots right up against the sides and still walk...

    Paint color to avoid heat

    If I am remembering correctly, big if. Black will absorb heat faster but it also will release heat faster with any sort of wind. If sitting still the black car will get hotter but not so when moving. Put another way, a black car will always be hotter or the same as a white, certainly never...

    Possible Sequoia in my future

    I am considering the Sequoia as well but will most likely go for a GX. I need to sell my truck first but here are two in San Diego that look like good buys. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/d/san-diego-2006-toyota-sequoia-limited/6998308424.html...

    Gluing to plastic

    I’m going to have to look into it. I’ve tried everything off the shelf at west marine and then some. A plastic expert told nothing works very well with HDPE. According to the stat sheet from innerduct it’s not all that strong but plenty strong for most applications...

    Gluing to plastic

    How well does it stick? I have never found any worth a lick that will stick to HDPE. Plastic welding is kind of fun though.
