    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tire Pressure

    Hello, I recently got my Hawk on a new F250 and swapped out the factory tires with some E rated BFG AT's. The tire shop set the pressure at 75 in the front and 80 in the back. This seemed really high to me as I had read this thread and b/c the MAX recommended for the tires is 80. When I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Baja 2010

    I finally have a little time to get some trip reports up. We went down to Baja during Thanksgiving break. We hadn't been down for 2 1/2 years because of all the cartel violence. Plus we have two little guys now and things get put in a different perspective. We got our visas stamped early...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Green Creek, Bodie, and one of our favorite sites

    If this works, there will be pictures attached. We did this trip at the end of summer. We headed up Green Creek and found a hidden spot right on the creek. Nice and quiet. It was so nice we stayed extra days. When we had to leave, we headed down the road and made a visit to Bodie. I hadn't...

    My wife bought me a Craftsman inflator model 75120. It pushes 60 cfm @ 30 psi. Does anyone have experience with this brand? It will be used to re-fill all four tires when I lower the pres. in Baja. It was about $50.00. Just wondering if I should keep it or return it for something that may...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Scepter gas cans

    Does anyone know where to find the original Sceptor 5 or 6 gal. gas cans. They were the best in my opinion. I think they can't sell them anymore because of air pollution standards. I've searched e-bay and Craigslist. If anyone has any idea where I can find them, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Flatbeds with FWC's

    According to Overland Hadley I guess I fit into the "Old Beater Dodge" category. I love my old Cummins and I love my flat bed. The flat bed made it where I could fit an older (and extremely cheaper) FWC that typically doesn't fit on newer trucks. I have recently been thinking about installing...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Screws for attaching Yakima tracks...?

    Does anyone think these screws will work. They are #8 3/4 truss washer heads. Ben from ATC said to use truss head #8 3/4, same threads as what you remove from the roof. It seems to me #10 would be better. They are more the right size for the track holes. These truss heads, #8, clear the...
