Armstrong Ratcheting Wrenches and Customer Service

http://roadtraveler.net/armstrong-ratcheting-wrenches-and-customer-service/

As part of my goal to put together a complete, high-quality tool kit for my Tundra, I purchased a set of SK 3/8-inch sockets (SK 3/8" tool set). As handy as sockets can be, combination wrenches are often more practical and it's easy to have a need for both when away from home. I considered reallocating a big set of Craftsman wrenches from my shop, not finding any made-in-USA wrenches I could afford, when a friend on the Expedition Portal Forum shared a link to a set of surplus combination wrenches from Uncle Sam's Retail Outlet.

2010 Tacoma with FlipPac Tire Q&A

Sometimes I write about tires... :sombrero:

http://roadtraveler.net/2010-tacoma-flippac-camper-tire-qa/

Background provided by Cliff: I have a few questions I hope you wouldn’t mind answering. First some background; I daily drive a 2010 Tacoma TRD Off Road with a FlipPac camper and OME suspension. Living in the Eastern Sierra I spend a lot of time on 395 between Reno and Los Angeles but, also drive many miles of desert washboard roads including the Death Valley area. I currently have stock tires, which are due for replacement. I have decided to invest in two sets of wheels, highway and off road.

RoadTraveler’s 100,000 Mile Challenge Part 1

Life's been a little busy to post to the blog for a few weeks...but I'm back.

RoadTraveler’s 100,000 Mile Challenge Part 1


I’m not talking about an engine or chassis making it to 100,000 miles. The days when it was a major accomplishment for vehicles reach 100k without an engine overhaul or major repairs are in the history books. For decades now vehicles have been built to higher standards, are more reliable, and it’s no great achievement nor are bragging rights attached to driving to six digits.

Eezi-Awn Series 3 RTT Review

http://roadtraveler.net/eezi-awn-1600-roof-tent-review/

Second Time Winner: Choosing an Eezi-Awn Series 3 1600 Roof Tent
By James Langan

We have a pop-up camper for luxurious overland travel but there are times when the tracks are too rugged or we want to travel lighter and leave the trailers and big rigs at home. We could rough-it and sleep in a ground tent, but the earth is not always clean, level, or dry, and isn’t very appealing after experiencing more comfortable backcountry accommodations. Our solution was an Eezi-Awn roof top tent (RTT).

Blowouts and trading tires

http://roadtraveler.net/toyo-mt-25585r16e-purchase/

It's been a while since I've had time to write blog posts... but here is one, and I hope a few more will follow soon.

...His wife Shelly was driving their 2002 F350 crew-cab, 7.3L Power Stroke, pulling their loaded 36-foot triple-axle toy-hauler with all the family on-board…at 70 miles-per-hour. Obviously in-tune with the truck, ten seconds prior to the impending blowout, Shelly commented, "Wow, this wind is really bad..." as she felt the instability of the low psi tire on the right rear of the pickup.
