I have had a CCL since 1996 and have carried either on my person or close by most of the time since then. My reasons are personal (to exercise my rights mainly). I have also worked security for a private school as part of my current job as a facility manager for some properties. I have carried...

To answer Darryla's question about how much time - I've lived in CO for 18 years, probably get out more than most as I spend 30 - 40 nights per year camping out between work & play, & I've just begone to explore. The best advise I've heard is pick a relatively small area & immerse yourself in it...

I have a Scepter deisel can I bought before the quit selling them. I also have 2 Wedco yellow diesel cans. The Wedcos are not the new carb compliant models but rather the older style with the NATO style spouts. None of them leak no matter what position they're in. The metal Wedcos don't look as...

I was going to put the sensor just above the front window (exterior), as it doesn't see any sunlight. I would think, even though the gas compartment is vented there would be a higher ambient reading as I wouldn't think the gas compartment is insulated from the inside, allowing interior heat to...

I have an '85 Granby & that extra width to fill in the tailgate actualy goes forward about 21'' to enclose the furnace on the drivers side. On the passenger's side it was originally open after about 2'' but I enclosed it for storage. I don't know about the '90s models but I imagine they would be...

I bought one years ago from Cabelas. I believe they still sell it. It's about 1 1\2'' wide by 5'' long & I mounted it to the face of my Galley under the stove area.I think it runs about $19.95. Originally I had the outside sensor in the area behind the fridge but the heat fromt the fridge...

Airbags?? I don't need no stinkin' airbags...... He doesn't need air bags because he has custom National Springs. What we all really need is a bunch of sponsors so we can fix up our own rigs as well. LOL Doug

I actually saw that trailer parked in a campsite in Grand Tetons 2 weeks ago. It looked well built & well used. It appeared to me to be an old Trekmaster with a Sportsmobile tag on it. I think the newer Sportsmobile trailers are fiberglass but maybe they used to sell Trekmasters as an option? I...

For years I had another truck as a DD so the FWC stayed on full time. Alas little boys grow up & since we be poor folk I gave my other truck to my son when he got his license last year. I have the camper on my truck now & still use it for work daily but I have a few different trailers around to...

Back to the original question of a truck that gets 35mpg. I'm not sure that's possible yet but it's definitely worth working toward if they can get the politicians & lobbyests to get out of the way. Over on the expo forum & in Overland journal they're working on an older fj60 wagon with a modern...

I had a '94 just like it except white. It's a toss up between that truck & my '97 diesel crew cab as to which is my favorite truck of all the ones I've owned - & there have been many. I actually used to get 16 MPG with just camping gear & a couple people in it doing 80 mph going to Moab &...

Great pictures. How much weight do you pack on your llamas? We take horses on our pack in hunts & while they have no problem carrying 250 lbs of man & gear when it comes to dead weight we've found they start to suffer if we go very far with more than 125 - 150 lbs on them - & these are strong...

I've had one of the tripod leg supports for years & use it with great success. My old '87 came with the leg mount screwed to the floor & right in the way so I took it out & use the tripod setup inside also on the rare occasion that I set up the table inside. I also have one of the Coleman...

Just a reminder since camping season has arrived. I checked mine while putting the camper on for the season this weekend & sure enough it required the "shake, rattle, & roll" treatment. Doug

Sounds like a great idea. Do you have any pictures ?:thumb: Ok, this is way over due & I apologize. I was gone for most of a month with trips to Utah & I managed to also break my camera on the last one. So last weekend I finally took a couple pictures with my Blackberry while putting the camper...

great camper! Love the pictures of the Swell. Spent 3 long weekend in a row in that area taking kids canyoneering. One day we did Zero Gravity - Guide book says not to go if over 185 lbs - I'm 220. Can you say tight squeeze. Anyway don't mean to highjack your thread - I just wanted to compliment...

Curmudgeon is correct in the assembly order. For the most part the threads on a sink drain never seal so it doesn't matter if there's a gap. The tail piece that connects to the bottom end normally has a flanged plastic or flat cut rubber washer in it to make that seal. The strainer you show in...

SO how do you get 12 mpg out of a 460??? I have 2 '95s - 1 is a diesel & the other a 460. The 460 never gets over 10 & as soon as we throw something in the bed - doesn't matter wether it's 2 lbs or 2000lbs it drops to 9.5 mpg. As soon as we hook up a trailer - doesn't matter wether it's 1200 lbs...

Hey Guys, I've been MIA most of this last month but I had to check in real quick & saw this post so I thought I'd add my $.02 for what it's worth. I've actually met & visited with Gary & Monika a number of times over the years & followed the Turtle IV around Baja for a week. There is much much...

Mine's dual purpose which is what you may have without the electric pump connected. It works as a normal hand pump & if you leave the handle forward it holds the prime but if you leave it back it drains the prime. The purpose for letting the prime drain is so you can flip the switch to the...

I'll try & take a picture when the snow lets up. right now we're in the middle of a blizzard which is a good thing - we need the moisture. Doug

Patrick - that engine bay is sweet:D It looks even fuller than my old '85 chevy with a 512ci caddie motor in it. That one only got 8mpg on the highway & 4mpg offroad - what kind of mileage do you get in the Toy loaded & on a trip?

Ok, this is completely out of the box but waht about a shell model with a double door that would give a clear opening of 49'' on the full size models - the inside front to back floor space would have to be 97'' on a long bed model. This would allow a guy to use the camper for work during the...

I had the same thing happen so I decided to improve on the situation instead of just replace it. I used a 3\8'' brass street 90 coming out of the tank which was just the right length to run along the outside bottom of the camper ledge. then I connected a ball valve with a short nipple to it. On...

I use a cam latch on the large slider under the stove with a compression fridge bar inside so the pots don't tumble out when I open the door. A slide bolt into the side of the drawer with a small bungee wraped around it & the drawer handle to keep it closed. Then velcro on the other slider...
