My experience is based on my brother-in-law using them. this data will be a couple years old. About 100 a month for up to two hours of talking and two to three dollars a minute after that. You want an iridium phone. Not sure what the phone rental will be on top of that. I was heading that...

Looking at the area, there's a ton of small dirt roads crisscrossing between the two. I've done a similar route years ago that went around the back side of mono lake. When you draw this out, pay attention to the hills and wash's. Some of those roads get washed out and no one repairs them. I...

If it was something i really wanted, you bet I would build it. In my crafting room, I have a 2x3 white board with my projects and ideas. I need another board. I will only admit this has gotten out of hand when it interferes with my camping. So far so good.

If you think these can draw a ton on AC, my friends Zero Breeze draws way more on heat mode. If it cant be plugged into shore power, he doesn't have enough battery to keep it going more than several hours.

The technology is PWM or Pulse Width. I agree that most everything we need like that should be pwm controlled. Way more efficient, the connections are happier and no power surges that can overheat controllers. Too bad the technology is literally decades old. The manufactures just say "the...

The general rule is 20 BTU per square foot. But that doesn't account for high humidity or poor insulation. Using a BTU calculator, cooling 125 cubic feet (5w X 5L X 5H) of space will take 7875 (2307 watt) per hour, to maintain 75 degrees with poor insulation. Half that btu will struggle but...

I was looking at those also. A couple of my friends have the zero breeze and gawd are those power hungry. The zero breeze mark 3 is rated at 5200 btu compared to BougeRVs 3500. The Bouge should have a bit less on power draw. One of my friends spent some time in 90 degree with high humidity and...

Good to see your still kicken. Us old guys are getting fewer and fewer.

On this note.... I bought my son his first truck and made him remove a tire and remove the spare. First thing he does is turn on my compressor, grab the impact and the floor jack. Once all the tools were assembled, I made him put them away and only use what came in the truck. He couldn't figure...

Several years ago, I found out my jack wasn't high enough for my Cruiser with 33's. It was the same tall bottle jack I used with my Jeep and 37's. Between that one and my factory jack, I got the tire changed. I already knew about the rim hole size being smaller. New two stage jack and I'm set...

Later, your off road and need to pull the tire. Now you find your jack isn't tall enough and the holes in your aftermarket rims are smaller than stock. What you thought would lift the vehicle and take off the tire, now don't work. You stare at the vehicle wondering why you never thought to...

I forgot to add in, do you have the tool for the inner tie rod? Its a tube that slides over to unscrew it. Its not something your going to do in the field without it.

They shipped it the day after I ordered it. Got it within two days. Heading out next week, I'll be able to check it out then

Sigh. sure I will concede the point. Some people who carry recovery equipment all over the outside of their vehicle as well as roof top tents do so to safely commute to work. Again, your now missing the point of the thread. Obviously, people who need to carry equipment do so because they need...

If you never did one, their not difficult but on real tight. I've done several at work. There's a lock plate on the rack end that will give you fits if your not aware of it. Setting the toe is easy. I can get almost exact just sighting down the side and lining up with the rear wheel. If I do any...

Good thought on upgrading the rack. My suggestion is based on hitting an unseen stump and bending my tie rod with 32's.Also the web is full of Tacomas and 4Runners breaking stock tie rods doing what I would consider moderate trails. I agree with the "Keep a spare" but Toyota overkills their...

I think your missing the point here. This was all about leaving the gear on for show while you commute to work and such. Obviously, when your camping, especially in adverse conditions, the gear is stowed properly. I also keep things that shouldn't get dirty isolated in bags or box's. This also...

Are you going to upgrade your tierods? I'm running the Apex on my Tacoma.

Already seeing that..

I had a moderate air horn on one of my Jeeps. It was the one I ran the York on. It was also the reason for the large air tank. The electric ones will power a small to mid size, my York handled a mid ok. Once the tank ran out the volume fell off a bit. If you want big air horns, look at how much...
