    AT 10lb. Propane Cylinder Bracket

    AT has designed an aluminum bracket for a 10 lb propane cylinder. The brackets are made from 1/8" thick aluminum and have rubber bump stops to hold the cylinder off the bracket. The cylinder is held in place by two stainless steel T Bolt clamps. There are pre-drilled holes in the bracket...

    Is this Tire Repairable?

    You can make the holes with the plug reamer or a power drill if you have one.

    Trailer Jack

    If you are looking for a jack to lift the trailer while doing maintenance or changing a tire then the Hi Lift is a good selection. The Hi Lift is a wonderful tool but can really come back and bite you if used incorrectly. Know this tool before you use it. For field repairs I like to leave the...

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    Wade, as you know the JK Habitat is Mario's baby so he's best equipped to answer your questions. He's in Colorado at the Jeepers Jamboree until Monday, I'm sure he'll have answers when he gets back. We did have a new design of hinge made it's both thicker and taller, we found that the original...

    Newest Max Coupler

    I think people made an assumption that the Max Coupler was built by AT, but this has never been the case. We have a long history with Chris from Kilby which stretches back to when he came to us as a frustrated trailer owner who couldn't get a Lock-N-Roll coupler due to production difficulties at...

    The folks that sell the Flip Pac

    FlipPacs are not vehicle specific so the fit is going to be very much the same.

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    No news is good news. Mario has had a production meeting with UMV and things are looking good. We realize you are all being very patient waiting for the Habitat, and once you get yours we believe it will be worth the wait. There were a number of engineering hurdles to overcome along the way and...

    Little Guy

    Bill, you can use threadlock if you want, it's overkill but may give you peace of mind. I'm in the UK right now, surprisingly they have internet, flushing toilets, and electricity. Now if only they could work on the weather :sombrero:

    Little Guy

    Bill, when you get the parts assemble them this way: Above is an overview of the parts you should receive (you already have the yoke). Slip one of the large ID washers on to the bolt followed by a fiber washer. Slip the crush sleeve onto the bolt and up into the fiber washer and Large ID...

    Autohome Customer Service Concerns...

    E mail isn't as reliable a source of contact as many people think. A fair number of e mails get lost in the ether, get filtered out, go into SPAM folders, or get simply overlooked. I'm sure many others are in the same boat as I am, averaging about 250 e mails a day, some of them are from my...

    Stonehenge to Cape Town 2010/11: West Coast / Central Africa route - 366 days

    Just started reading the blog, I'm engrossed already. I like the trip budget, it's a must read for anyone planning an extensive trek. Interesting insight into Overlanders based on daily budget. My wife and I have hitchhiked, traveled by bus, rented cars, and done long trips in 4X4 in Africa...

    New Chaser Kitchen

    We will be offering a stand alone kitchen case. Right now we are working on a bracket that would allow you to hang it off the inside of an existing tire carrier.

    New Chaser Kitchen

    We have played with the idea of a pull out kitchen, they are very cool. The issue is when you fold them away they take up a considerable amount of the inside storage in the trailer. If you think, in basic terms, that a trailer is used for additional storage capacity then it's a big sacrifice to...

    Max coupler

    The lock-n-roll is a good coupler, it has issues with binding especially if you reverse and jackknife the trailer. Our biggest issue was that we couldn't always get couplers from the manufacturer as they got buried in military contracts for gun turrets. The Max coupler doesn't have the binding...

    Max coupler

    The standard used here is a Federal standard not a State standard. The Feds set regulations on many components including couplers, lights, brakes, etc. Federal regulation can not be over ruled by State or local regulations or compliance. That doesn't mean that States are very good at enforcing...

    Max coupler

    The standard testing for couplers is to test it to three times it rating or to destruction. A coupler rated to 3500lb would have been tested to 10500 lbs. Quality manufacturers will have the coupler re tested every time major modifications are made to the coupler. The new Max Coupler tested to...

    Max coupler

    I'm a big fan of home builders, and if you are going to use this coupler off road only then I think it's a fun idea. Couplers used on road have to be tested and certified to SAE standards. If a home made coupler breaks loose and the trailer or vehicle gets into an accident a non certified...
