    Self Recovery on a frozen lake

    Sorry, this thread slipped my mind, and the notifications were getting caught in my spam filter. I have gone over and over it in my mind, and really don't think I can rely on anchors above the ice. The slush layer is going to be impossible to set screws in. I should have taken video of coming...

    Self Recovery on a frozen lake

    Sounds about right, and there is no fix for that. Haven't been there for a few weeks, lol.

    Self Recovery on a frozen lake

    Brian, that's what I am thinking about doing. It's going to be tough to drill through what could be 3' of ice with anything other than a power auger, and that's 8". I like the idea of having a smaller hole to reduce bending on the bar, but I don't think it is possible. Instead of reaching down...

    Self Recovery on a frozen lake

    This is a long shot here, but I need some help. I spend quite a bit of time, during our long winters, out icefishing. Being that I have a fully equipped rig for self-recovery on land, I keep trying to figure out how to get myself unstuck if I do get buried on the lake by alone. I have recovered...

    2008 Xterra Offroad Build

    As a general rule of thumb, a melt mod is necessary. It just depends on the X. I had to do the melt mod on my Maxxis 255 Bighorns, even with Radflos up front. Granted, I have them set to a very minimal lift, and those mud terrains are taller, and a lot more aggressive. They will fit a stocker...

    2008 Xterra Offroad Build

    Yup. All you have to do is melt the fenders and bend a bulge out of the way. Have you been on thenewx.org? Lot's of good info there.

    Mahindra 4x4 pickup

    The same thing was running through my head when I saw your post. I really wish that the Cross Lander had made it to the market.

    We just got home and are flipping through the memory cards on our TV. Will have to wait to tomorrow to upload and post links to our pics. Thank you all for such a great trip!! What a really amazing group of people.

    Want to buy a new rifle

    One of the guys at deercamp has a Tikka T3 synthetic in 30.06. Great rifle, he really likes it. That thing is very accurate, and has been dependable.

    Handheld CB

    It works just fine. I run a 2' Firestick on a hood channel mount. My SWR's weren't perfect, but acceptable. I can't recall the exact reading. If I switched out to rooftop mount, or ran a 3' off my current mount, I assume it would be better. I was able to keep in touch with all the rigs we had...

    Finally my own RTT

    Looks great!! I have to agree with your comments on Fernando, he is great to deal with. See you in August! I will definitely be checking it out.

    Handheld CB

    I have run the Midland 75-822 for about a year. It seems to have tuned pretty well with my 2' Firestick. The reason I went with it is the versatility. If I need to get out and spot for someone, I can swap the antenna and battery pack out of the glove box really quickly. I also like the fact that...

    Why hood blackouts?

    I don't know about everyone else, but I wanted to look like a schoolbus:smiley_drive: I put mine on, so that I will have no excuse to keep me from building a light bar on my rack. I have to say, that when I drive my wife's car, I really notice the difference. It really cuts down on glare. Now I...

    I got camping lab awning today but very disappointed

    I have to say,firsthand, that when there was an issue with shipping with my awning, Fernando took care of it quickly, stepped up above and beyond what I expected. I will certainly buy from him again.

    Expedition Shovels

    I took a Black Diamond Avalanche shovel, and converted it for warm-weather use. I used a round pointed landscaping shovel head. I took the wooden handle off of it, welded the open side that was wrapped around the wooden handle shut. Then I drilled holes in it, to line up with the spring loaded...

    Show me your camping chairs

    Thanks Pete. I am trying to find out if they will fit in my roof basket. Gotta grab the tape measure.
