Much more convenient/cheaper to carry a grease gun. Problem is most grease guns weep, especially in warm conditions. Double wrap in some protective cover if you decide to carry one. Not wanting to hijack this discussion but has anyone ever found a grease gun that does not leak, if so let us know.

Had my daughters hail damaged car repaired with the glue pull method but I doubt the glue pull method will be completely effective in this case as there are hard creases, get a good dent guy to est. it and ask if it will be 100% when finished. you will still need paint touched up too, which will...

I carry 4 2x10x15" boards and 4 4x4x8" blocks. If the 2x10 thickness isn't enough, i build a ramp using the 4x4 block in conjunction with the 2x10. The 2x10s are yellow pine but I made the 4x4s out of cedar which greatly reduces their weight. Thinking of switching the 2x10s to cedar as well or...

"7/8ths truck size" But it has a full size bed, same width has my old 93 Chevy, 3" shorter bed length.

Might affect the bulk charge on some batteries. If your battery requires 14+ volts(as many do for bulk charge) and your output from the alt is 14 or so volts, then you drop approx. 1 volt on the way to the battery, you will not get a proper charge.

Soap and water is about the only thing that will not degrade the fabric. You might try magic eraser cleaner, it is effective on some dirt/stains. A 10% bleach solution if rinsed thoroughly might help. Do not use solvents as this can/will affect the coating. Once clean apply some 303 or other...

Since you've discounted the welding option; Your bracket and rivet idea is probably the next best thing but consider bedding the brackets in a polyurethane adhesive(3m 5200) while installing(riveting), poly U will add a lot of strength plus it can flex without breaking or cracking. Flexible...

My Cooper ATPs are holding up very well, they are good in wet weather, have very little sidewall flex, and are pretty quiet for a all terrain tire. They are not great in mud but much better in mud than the Mich. LTX tires on my Tundra. If you occasionally drive in mud(not deep stuff either) the...

I measured and ordered accordingly and got the highest load rating within the size limit. I don't want the turnbuckle to be the weak link, although I understand the concept.

Talk to a dealer and get up to date availability per cab/bed configuration on the payload pkg. Ford has changed that spec since first offering it.

Sounds like a good plan. I would also encourage you to radius all the square corners and edges of the plates to prevent a can opener effect if/when they are pulled off angle. Prime any holes you drill before installing plates.

Truly a rare/great find and terrific condition too. Just curious, what engine tranny set up does it have?

When closed the top overlaps the camper sides. The weather seal(hollow tube type) is just around the front and about 30" down each side and is compressed between the top and sides. For the remainder of the sides and the back of the camper there is no seal, the canvas itself acts as the seal. The...

Plug and play but you need a 12v source. I had to remove the brackets from the factory fan(single setup). New fan comes with brackets that worked well for my application. The flame should have a firm shape to it and not be wafting around. I regularly blow the orifice out with compressed air, in...

Check for; mold, mildew, wood rot( inside and out but especially the floor pan and lower sides), signs of water leakage, worn and/or brittle fabric. If so equipped, check appliances to see if they work. Check wiring for corrosion if the camper spent time on the coast. My 2 cents

I recently removed the FWC installed single cooling fan and installed a dual fan set up to draw air over the coils, helped get me a few extra degrees of cooling . Really like the new fan, no noise except when on the highest setting, even then its barely audible. digital controller too...

Both products mentioned above are excellent. I have used the 303 protectant since getting my hawk, usually twice a year. 2005 model and fabric is still pliable with no cracking. What ever you choose, be sure it doesn't contain petroleum as an ingredient, 303 does not.

Take a couple/few heavy ratchet straps, things might not go as planned on mounting to the truck, straps will get you home.

Where/when?

If the fuel pack swelled enough, might be a problem removing it if it's wedged in place. I would not be comfortable with the lack of venting.

I replaced my optima(really a dual purpose) with a true deep cycle from Renogy(100 ah) AGM (Found it on amazon for less than $200). I run my fridge on propane so my elect. needs are fairly minimal; fans, led lights, phone charging, etc. My 60 watt panel keeps up fine and with the 100 ah...

Not certain but I don't think you can set the Iota up to the required charging profile of the lifpo4 battery. Maybe Vic or Rando can advise.

Your pics are of the vinyl insert. If that is what you need, it can be found on amazon. That's where I got mine, it has held up fine for 3-4 years since installing .
