Good question suty I would love to yank out the whole guage cluster and start over. there is plenty of room in there for a full complement of mechanical guage. Obviously building a new back drop would be neccesary to mount the guages but with the 4 in 1 stewert warner guages you could retro...

My bad didn't blow it up and see the radiator was hit.

Why didn't he drive it down? It looked to me like just a little sheet metal damage. I mean does anyone really care about their rides sheetmetal? Guy was probably crying "how am I gonna explain this to my wife!" ROTFLMFAO! Looks like a fender hood canvas and some paint no biggie.

A friend of mine turned me onto this site yesterday. It has all the info you need to make your own if you have some basic tools and patience. Ironicaly two of the paddlers in the pics are great friends of mine who are awesome paddlers. The Molina's have high standards so which ever designs they...

Couldn't you hit up some of you buddies that have an old small grill they are not using anymore and just take the bottom half. Or how bout a garage sale this weekend in your area. Your bound to find one. Hell maybe one of those cheap $10.00 walmart charcoal racks and save yourself the...

Ha Jon your TTORA comment is about right.. Newbs get killed on their. So many people forget the roots they came from but it's true in all sports. Especially paddling as you know. Anyway back on track. Your choice of a taco is good. I would probably go for a TRD 4x4 that way you well have a...

I have built several hot rods over the years. In the begining I always ran relatively stock set ups. Later on though I built a few with high quality ignition set ups. I think on high horspower carberated motors it is a great investment for power. I really do not think it will make a hill of...

I agree the cleaners are shown to do more harm then good. I would say change the oil/filter then change again after say 500 miles. Often times it can build up just from the long periods we go between oil changes.

How bout the irony of this pic. truely a classic. For some strange reason though I think any true road warrior has been there. I know I have. LOL. Surely he had something on that trailer that would fit. Probably no jack though.

well the one I sw was about 8-10" in diameter and maybe 13" high. It has a regular propane tank fitting on it so it is refillable. I guess I will have to go buy one and mount it in the bed. I am thinking a scuba tank bracket would be perfect to mount it with. Hell maybe even a power tank...

You can atually calculate it on level grouns. You need access to some scales but those and a lift can tell you what your CG and roll over points are. I have an article on how to do it if you are interested. I will have to dig it up.

well I'll take a crack at the rack stuff since that is something that I deal with @ work every day. If your rig had no factory rack them I would start by adding a Thule or Yakima rack. I recommend Thule now since they are stregth certified and have a lifetime warranty. Once you have the base...

As you know Scot I am running the dee zee chest. It's only 37" across so there is room on each side for an extra fuel tank or other storage. I prefer the floor mounted chest to the hung from the rail alternative personally. I think they are more functional since the space under most of those...

Hell I have been using an el cheapo version for years. I bet at my work and personal vehicles I have plugged probably 50 tires over the years. Never had one fail yet. I had a puncture on a trail down here on my taco. we neer even changed the tire just pluged it on the truck and re filled it. It...

I know you can get them on ebay, and TLCA. I think I remember seeing them at my local ace hardware last time i was in there as well.

I have several head lamp as well. But what I love the most in my light collection is the Lazer Brite. It can be used as a head lamp, or better hang from you neck on a lanyard for camp use so you don't blind everyone! It can be used in it's tube for a glow stick, or spot lamp. It is LED and it...

Well I talked to my friend Mike who owns a crosslander dealership. He said that things have all been worked out and he is expecting his first delivery either late december or early January. He just a call this week so it won't be much longer. :jump:

Well I though I would throw this out there. I have beel using these Aloksak bags for a few years now. They are great for protecting electronics. I always keep one with wallet keys cell phone in my thwart bag on the canoe. I also have a buch of them in my camera case. Each lens is in one etc...

Have to say my best was on a 6 day river trip in wisconson in 2k2. A guy who used to work for Bell Canoes brought these kelby steak kabobs along. Man they were awesome. On most of our trips thought we have salmon filets topped with durkie/soy sauce over rice. mmm.... good maybe with some...

good question about the hams I want to know more as well. I'm sure we will be enlightened soon.
