I used butyl tape. It wraps around the threads as you screw in the screw and you can remove the latches easily if necessary without damaging the aluminum. I also put Tefseal on the threads of the bolt for extra sealant as well as it's ability to reduce galvanic corrosion. It also oozes out...

I like it. Best of luck on your sale.

I like it too

I've been running KO2's for about a year now. I like them for highway travel, gravel, ice and snow. Costco sells them. About $800 USD for the set installed.

It's pretty amazing how much crap you can blow out from under your seat, even if you keep your truck spotless. I vacuum things up nice and then blow under the seats with the compressor. Then I vacuum up the crumbs that get blown out onto the previously clean carpet/floor. I do it 2 or three...

I have a different school of thought. I like carpet for cabin acoustics, warmth and comfort. No issue with cloth seats either. Pretty affordable to get seat covers and really not that difficult to remove dirty clothing or vacuum. I always install winter mats the day I get a vehicle and keep...

I use the rear amber outside light quite a bit. That's why I install an LED bulb. I find it useful for things like: -illuminating the rear camper steps to avoid banging a shin Into them. -having a bit of light behind the camper when cooking outdoors beside the camper. -Illuminating the dead...

That's why many members use foam insulation board. It also adds R value.

I did find the paper with the shipping wieght, it was 1199lbs, The listed weight for the Jacks is only 100lbs,, they seem heavier when puting them on. That still leaves me with 1200 lbs capacity, Jada, my overweight Lab, couldn't figure the steps out, I am going to try glueing some carpet to...

There is supposed to be an app that you can take a pic of any mountain and it will give you the name. I'd like to see something like this for trees and flowers etc. I'd love to learn as I explore.

I would guess you are at 1300 to 1400 lbs with the jacks on. Looks like you have a furnace as well. As others mentioned the 975lb tag is the weight of the shell before any options are added. Airbags at minimum are needed. By the time you get the bike, carrier and camping gear on, you won't...

I look forward to seeing your results. Best of luck with the project.

Nice upgrade on the truck. I've been eyeballing the new Super Dutys. I'm driving a 2009 GMC, which I enjoy, but I'm still jealous. I think I've seen a few guys in your situation create some awesome sliding drawers to put things like fishing rods etc. Best of luck with your solution. I'm...

Wow. I could admire that all day long. It must put a smile on your face. Very nice. I'm surprised our campers don't come with one.

You don't mention the year of your Hawk. I have a 2009 GMC with the curved bed opening at the back and a 2013 Hawk (which was actually made to fit a Ford). I just let the camper squish the rounded corners of the truck bed. Wasn't a big deal to me, being it's a truck box. You can avoid this...

I agree, but coffee is such a daily ritual for so many people, there is little harm in getting a bit carried away. I'm sure those who enjoy a fine bottle of wine, beer or other sprits can relate (and coffee is a lot cheaper). Thank you. It's the GFs birthday, we plan to do some snowshoeing...

Looks like a wonderful way to start the day. I'm heading to icy, snowy, beautiful Jasper, Alberta this weekend. I'll be sure to keep coffee in mind :)

All of that can be done on this site. Would it add to this site or cannibalize it? How would it be moderated? WTW may want to consider creating a Facebook page in a effort to attract new members to this site, but I think that's as far as it should go.

Have you considered an Elektra Microcasa ? https://www.home-barista.com/reviews/elektra-microcasa-leva-review-t33371.html Way too rich for me. I couldn't see spending more than $1000 and to me that even a big stretch. Beautiful to look at though. I did spend about $700 on a Vitamix and...

What type of water do you use? Do you order your beans from a roaster?

Bob, This is the equipment I've been exploring, but I can't put that kind of money down without trying a well made coffee/expresso first. I've never had the opportunity. All I know is I'm tired of giving Starbucks $3.10 every morning, especially when they typically serve me a cold coffee.

For peace of mind you should probably replace the stuff in the medical kit. Probably doesn't hurt to refresh it anyhow. Bear sprays can become compromised if the seal that holds the propellant (usually nitrogen) deteriorates. This reduces the ability of the product to project the spray...

Maybe 21 nights for me. My count went down this year. Not due to lack of enthusiasm, but weather. It went from summer to winter in Oct. and it's deadly cold right now. -30C -22F -40C -40F with the wind chill. That being said the cold snap is ending and we will be winter camping in the...

Clever idea if it works out for you.

Glad you enjoyed the humour. :) Have a fun day!!!
