    Who likes a big rack?

    Instead of using poop pipe like normal people, you use conduit?

    Who likes a big rack?

    Don't even try to figure out what is going on inside Anak's head. That is a deep dark place you really would not want to go.

    Harbor Freight Bottle Jack

    I can either run it manually, or plug it into my onboard air for my lockers, or run it off of my CO2 setup.

    Off Grid Mesh Network

    Mesh is cool, I designed and tested commercial mesh radios for one of the largest manufacturers, so I have lots of experience. The issue is that it is like a chain, with each link being a user with the right equipment and turned on. Link in the chain has to have communication to two other...

    Headed West

    Since you have a bit of time, don't skip Durango north to Silverton and Ouray. They call this the Switzerland of the Rockies and will be a highlight of your trip. Having said that, anything offroad in the San Juans doesn't tend to open till around June. I would recommend hitting Arizona...

    Nitrogen "Blend"

    I run an air/hydraulic jack, so I can slide it under the vehicle and plug it in my CO2 a presto the rig is in the air. I hook up the impact and the wheel is off in less than a minute.

    Salt Lake City parking

    Just a thought, how about having it picked up or dropped off at a detailing place or tire store and having some work done in trade for parking? Have it dropped off at the dealer for a servicing.

    Nitrogen "Blend"

    Just because helium will pass through the rubber and leak out is not a problem.

    Balance Beads

    Used them in large tires for years. You can get some funny noises but they tend to work.

    Trip Planning AUS - US

    Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is cool, but after seeing dozens of zoos, it is a zoo in a pretty location. You might want to go up Mount Evans or Pikes Peak to experience the altitude and view. From Buena Vista, I would head to Ouray/Silverton. You can easily spend a week there. I might cut back to 5...

    Trip Planning AUS - US

    Rather than spend time in Denver, you might want to go to Buena Vista. Tons of great scenery and trails. Away from the hustle and bustle and a great place to stay 10 days and never run the same trail twice. Arrowhead campground is a nice base camp with full amenities where you can leave your...

    Draw bar question...

    2.5x.25 box is overkill. I would knock it back to 2x2x.25. and this would still be overkill. The frame would easily support 5-6k.

    Draw bar question...

    Terms have different meanings to different people and places. Exactly what are you calling a draw bar? Are you speaking of something vehicle mounted or trailer mounted?

    To translate, the authorities don't like the fact that you can program the radio to operate outside the legal bands.

    Land for Base Camp

    If you are in any way associated, have a good liability policy. Crazy things that can go wrong: A camper starts a wild fire taking out 1000 homes (Colorado this year) Somebody overdoses and dies, and their family sue Somebody gets hurt The list goes on forever.

    Land for Base Camp

    Something about this brings a 60's hippie commune to mind.:dizzy:
