    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It slips right out. I placed a threaded insert in the bottom of the cup holder and threaded a bolt into it before I poured the stuff in. That way when it hardened up I had a way to pull it out, like a big plastic popsicle. I took great care to find the exact center of the cup holder, even...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Its a great product so far. The wedge design that goes through your receiver makes it very solid. The welds are nice, the finish is good and it swings smoothly. I never even notice its back there until I use the back up camera They quoted me 3-4 weeks and it shipped almost 4 weeks to the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I mounted the tablet with some Ram components and a homemade cup holder mount. I couldnt find a mount I liked, even the adjustable cup holder kind didnt seem to fit my slim and clean build style. I ended up buying a two part plastic resin and casting my own. I coated the cup holder in release...

    Gaia maps for Samsung tablet

    OK, no problem. If the mods have an issue with negative comments please edit or trash my reply. Some of the other forums I visit have rules about stuff like that. These are my observations after approximately ten days usage. 1) There is no "red box" shown on android devices to indicate...

    Strangest Camping Encounters

    About 10 years ago I was backpacking in the Hoosier NF with my dog and a buddy. About 5 miles from the trail head I noticed a guy walking towards us on the trail, in what looked like buck skins or something. As he got closer you could see he had no shoes, no gear,and NO CLOTHES. He looked...

    any DIY ideas for an awning?

    I just purchased a 12 x 12 Kelty tarp (noahs tarp) and some 82" Mountainsmith tarp poles. Total investment about a hundo and its light, compact and versatile. Our gear is oriented toward the light/compact side though, its not for everyone.

    Do You Keep a Vehicle Journal?

    I keep such detailed info to hopefully eliminate any warranty issues. I fear the dealer may try to "stick it to me" for not having my maintenance done by them. Also, I like to keep all my info consolidated in once place. The binder makes it easy. Here are some pics (maybe some pics, im new...

    Do You Keep a Vehicle Journal?

    I keep all receipts and maintenance items in a 3 ring binder. All manuals and product information for truck purchases go in there too. I use clear sheet protectors to group items together. Each oil change gets a copy of the maintenance schedule from the owners manual, the receipt for the oil...

    Travels with Dogs

    I would never leave our dog unattended in a remote location. Its affected the things I've been able to do for the last 12 years but that's part of the deal. My lifestyle just has limitations because of her. Its ok and she is totally worth it.

    Build Up in Oil Filter?

    You might consider an oil filter cutting tool. They are only $40 bucks at Summit. I used to open all my filters and check the pleats for contaminates. I still do, but no more metal canisters to open. The one upside to the crazy toyota oil change procedure...
