Hellwig's? Any insight on Hellwig. They appear to have the easiest (no drill) for my truck and Firestone only has the light weight bags for my model. http://www.truckspring.com/hellwig-air-helper-springs-hw6012.html Kilroy, I noticed sag at 80-85K as well.

I teach ropes an knots to our fire academies and use that site for examples:thumb:

I agree with the Fisherman. It is really tuff to dig a toilet hole in asphalt:D

Wow Welcome Yukon, Trips sound great. Funny my wife just dropped the idea of itting the road for a year in the FWC on me:eek: Sound like you fit in great around here.

Fisherman Sag isn't extreme(yet?), justing noting that I think air bags would be a good idea on the 1/2 GMC/Chevys. Have not been bottoming out and inspections are clean. I really like the look of the Pac Brakes but without modification they won't fit my or Skyhigh's trucks. I have really been...

Sorry Fisherman I have a 99 Sierra half ton and have started to notice some uneven settling after a couple years of constant use, so I am also considering airbags. Fisherman, I know you love the pack brakes but they don't have a set for us post 98 GMC/Chevy half-toners. :( Fish quota is...

West Marine just came out with a whole new line of LED light fixtures from $20 bucks and up.

What? hay stack? Mike :confused: OOOPS! STOCK not Stack :p

Kilroy, I used tarp bungees back to the yakima rack that was there. Now back to stainless hook that I attached to the top sides. I made it for a 5' X 7" stack tarp. Link to old post for more photos: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=534

Sweet:thumb: I'd bet you could come up with some creative storage for over the cab. Tubes, boxes, racks. I know we have posted some picks of what others have done.

Just a consideration Don't know about Hayduke but I picked the shady boy partly because it is self supporting under calm conditions. I wanted to avoid having to stake out or deploy ground legs except under windy conditions. I have had mine on for almost a year. I don't deploy it all the time...

Here are my side and rear deployed. Shady Boy off the side, Tarp and 1/2" PVC off the back with adjustable poles. Thinking of making the rear a bit longer back.

Zion and then possibly Bryce 4/12-4/20:thumb:

BTW I'll be camping in So Utah, Zion and such 4/12-18.

New floor and Fantasic Fan I got theses in last month but took awhile to get photos and downloads. Decided the old floor needed to go, cuts, stains and style. Lucky for me I had a roll of sheet vinyl that was from my kitchen floor left over. I kept it a single sheet with no holes or screws...

Land boat I tend to call my rig a land boat. There is always something to be cleaned or repaired.:D

I like using the fridge for perishables, got the DC/propane not the 3way. Still keep a medium cooler in the cab for snacks and beverages. Sorry to say I did kill my battery once with it, lucky I was in a campground and not out there. Since then I added an aux and solenoid.

Can't sacrifice the trips. Wife commutes by bike, 20 miles round trips. And I drive the baby diesel TDI to work. Camper stays on the truck:thumb:

Great advice! I you don't have one, GET ONE! Especially if you run a heater at night. In theory CO is the same density as air so as long as it is mounted on a horizontal or vertical you should be good. Avoid corners, they form air pockets. Alarms will start sounding at a much lower level than...

:thumb: Sweet! Hope to see you out there.

It's a knd of trailer My in-laws tow a Desert Fox Camper that they are living their dream retirement in. Sorry if the pics are small. And since I know they will see this post, Hey guys join in.:D

I have the draw-tite work step that is on the site Kyle posted. It was a hand me down, didn't know they are so much $$. I drilled a second hole in it so it can slide all the way in and lock then move it out when in camp to minimized backing hazards. I has been nice and sturdy for me.

Star, I did catch your post, thanks. I would have to check but I have the manual filter and don't know if the pur would fit. My primary concern is the bacteria reduction. With the mix of domestic and well systems I fill off of there is always that doubt. This includes my home water off of a...

They are making some sweet rigs down under. A lot are based off flat bed compact trucks. OOOOHHH the options:rolleyes:

I am considering putting this one in from 3M http://www.filtersfast.com/Pentek-US-B1-Marine-Filter-System.asp My father in-law put in the larger version in his toy hauler. Install is inline, under sink, and looks simple. Although I carry extra drinking water in another container , it would be...
