    US Rocky Mountain Northern Utah Meetup

    I will try to drag my teardrop along and maybe cook some BBQ. We should do a pot luck.

    Off road trailer tongue

    My tongue is different from most, being mounted soo high. It is also longer. It has never been a problem and allows extreme articulation. I may shorten it 6 inches some day when I have time, but it has never given me any issues either on or off road.

    Thoughts on swapping to a smaller tire size

    The weight of the tire/rim has less to do with mpg's than the diameter and its effect on engine rpm's. If you lug down the engine (get it out of its power band) your mpg's will suffer. If you regear to get the rpms back up, you will feel an increase in performance and if done correctly, an...

    Camping in WY/MT grizzly country

    I actually have a bunch of trip wire shotgun shell initiators. I use 12 gauge blanks. It makes a non-lethal brilliant flash and a horrendous bang. It startles most animals and makes them instantly flee. They are legal in all 50 states. I just string up a perimeter when I leave or at night...

    Camping in WY/MT grizzly country

    I have camped in what you call grizzly country for 50 years. All I ever carried was a special forces flare gun and an compressed airhorn. Other than in heavily touristed parks, I have never seen a grizzly. They like to stay away from humans until the tourists start feeding them. The dogs can...

    It only allows one link. You can place as many as you want when editing, but will yell at you when you try and save.

    I guess it would require an intermediate thread since I have a build thread for my rig and a separate thread for my teardrop. Remember, only one link allowed . I had a nice small banner sized picture of my rig and trailer, followed by a link to each build thread. It didn't take up that much...

    Music choices... Sirius XM or your own music?

    Most of the places I go don't have any thing near cellphone coverage or radio reception. If you want tunes, you carry them with you or get some form of satellite. What's the cheapest you can set up Sirius for per month?

    I was talking about the main web based forum, not the mobile app. If there is a better place to discuss this, please point me in the right direction. This is the general support section. This is not resolved.

    Off road trailer tongue

    The tongue on my trailer is also long but like you say it tows great. The first advantage is that I can turn sharply (>90 degrees) without binding the tongue. The worst part is that as you turn a corner, the trailer tracks further to the inside than your vehicle. I am working on a solution...

    Resolved Problem with signature

    It apparently does not allow image tags anymore. If I try and put in the image code that does the below and hit save, it acts like it saved it but when I come back, the save never happened. I have tried multiple sizes for the image.

    The app no longer gives you a pix option and will give you an error and says only one link is allowed. WTF? Was it so bad about what we had? Was it slowing the forum down?
