Figured I might as well hold out on getting an inReach until the "+" versions were available. I had signed up on the Garmin page to be notified. Thought about it this weekend and checked, they were taking orders although saying it would be 7-10 day to process. Figured why not look around, REI...

Not really long term but have towed with it 3-4000 miles. We tow a 2dr JK and have nothing but good things to say about it. Simple and easy to hook up, basic and reliable braking mechanism. Once you get the cable through and connected to the brake pedal, you don't have to mess around with it...

Sometimes it's a simple fix, it just takes a lot work to find it

Look for Jeep and other offroad shops, many do fabrication and don't stick to just Jeeps for that kind of work. they'll understand what your after and probably have a lot of good suggections

Can't offer any help, but interested in how it works out. I flat tow our JK with a ReadyBrute also (great tow bar/braking system, nice and easy) and to date have not experienced any problems. How does it drive, does it self center? My cursory google foo came up with caster, steering box...

Finished? Never say finished, if the truck hears you say that, things will start breaking so you show it some attention ;) Nice job on the skid plates, those look beefy enough to give you some good protection. I was just pondering a way to add some sort of retaining clip or something for the...

I thought I saw where Mammoth was projecting skiing on the 4th of July. My dad had told me he had skied there on the 4th back in the 50's

x2 on the Ultimate Campground App. It has a wide variety of NFS, BLM, county, utility, state, etc sites that are easy to filter down to the type your looking for. Just wish it had an option for using off-line. I guess you could take a screen shot of the areas your interested in

Now that may be a worthwhile reason to deal with the crowds ;)

It's 5:00 somewhere... Typical macro weather pattern for CA. No rain of snow for 10 years, then 10 years worth of rain and snow in 1 year. Looks good when you average it out...

I don't believe the fan will run by itself. I think it only runs when heat is called for and/or the combustion chamber itself is still at or above a certain temp.

It appears to have both so it probably only can be installed on the door, You're right, it couldn't be any wider than the existing latch because the window would prevent it

Hadn't seen these before, looks like a good idea. A little more than the myriad of other projects I have going will allow for now. Not sure if it's good thing or portends trouble that they have so many replacement parts available. I had put an electronic lock on the door to my workshop, one...

Bacon cookies ??? :P

mmmm, cookies....

maybe south and east would be better :)

yeah, that'll take a little more than duct tape. I would bet that more of these structural problems will start popping up. This winter isn't close to being over, there's lots more surprises coming.

I've heard that Oregon has decided to cancel the eclipse. There are too many people planning to move into the state for that period of time and they would rather not deal with it. Please make other arrangements...

Yes, but it does cover the wiring within RVs to include truck campers, along with RV Parks. The only place I have found that refers to identification of conductors is "551.49 Grounded Conductors". This refers back to 200.6 which is about marking white for Grounded Conductors (as opposed to...

Off topic, but along the lines of trying to find UXO (or similar), read "The Eye in the Sky". US surveillance cameras placed at the tops of peaks in the Himalayas, powered by small nuclear generators (carried by foot to the tops). They lost one, can still detect the specific radioisotopes in...

This how the shovel/axe holder is mounted on mine, just bolted through. I'm sure after the first hole you drill, they become easier :). Shouldn't have to worry about framing members, just make sure you know whats on the other side. on the inside

If it really was common sense, it would be more common.

You might also rethink the location. If at all possible, keeping the weight in front of the rear axle will be a much better solution. It will also cut down, even if just a little the bouncing around. Make sure they are very well secured, a lot of mass moving around tends to go where it wants...

Venting is important, and it should be to the outside. Probably even more important is to have a containment enclosure for the batteries to sit in. You want to make sure any kind of spillage stays within the enclosure. Start with a small exploratory hole on the inside, make sure you don't hit...

I don't see why not, would rather drill the side than the roof myself. If you look through Hallmarks' website, they do offer traction devices and they show them mounted on the side. Not sure what attachment they use, but I'm sure it's just bolted through. I have the shovel/axe on the back of...
