I used a high quality cable lock system, fed thru the base plate, jack head, beam and mount. By securing it this way no one could unbolt the base and slide off the head assembly. Ron

I'm presently working on a similar project. I'm going to use an aluminum/carbon fiber wrapped used air tank. It's rated at 4500 psi, even with expired certification it's more than I need, that weighs next to nothing. It'll be mounted with quick fist clamps.

I recently installed a "readylift" lift kit on my boss's 2016 Tacoma. It's a well designed kit, it lifted and leveled the truck. Strut spacers, differential drop, sway bar drop and spacers for the skid plate for the front. Blocks w/U bolt's for the rear, all hardware was included. Using...

We did peach cobbler, with fresh peaches. We also make ice cream with an "ice cream ball". Ron

I carry mine on all my trips, we've done cinnamon rolls, biscuits & gravy to pineapple upside cake. You can cook anything you want, when we camp we go for the food as much as the experience, Ron

Second the Flaxseed oil, Ron

I originally thru my factory away, and bought a high lift. I've since used the high lift twice, one to push my front end sideways of a bank and the second to lift my axle off a stump within 5 minutes of each other. My high lift now is mounted to my trailer. I carry a factory scissor jack and...

I also went the trailer route. But no RTT, Ron

I know not all air lockers perfect, but the one's I've installed haven't had any problems. I also know people that have are running OX lockers(cable actuators) and lunch box lockers, with no problems. I sleep in a tent, but I have a cot, easy on old people to get out of. As long as it's fun...

Great start! If you can picture what you want it to be, you'll save a TON of money and time. Personally I'd put an air locker in the rear, this would give more traction, reliability and on board air, for tires and etc. Then look at a rtt or a ground tent, then build from there, the other...

Basically, duty cycle is how long you can run the compressor and how long you have to wait for it to cool off so you can use it again. Ron

Welcome aboard, great people here, Ron

I've ran many sets of 33's, with no problems. I just decided to build a jeep on 35's. The next time I balance my tires I going to balance the wheels, then add the beads for the tire size. Just to see if there's a difference. I like the beads because they balance out even with mud on the...

Balancing tires on the vehicle has been around for a while. It's as good as any other balancing method if done correctly. You'll need to match mark your wheels on the vehicles hub, if the wheels are moved, the balance may not be true. I've been using balance beads with good success...

I wasn't running air tools, I was airing up 35's from 15 to 22 psi. Good luck, Ron

I originally went with a VIAIR, I used it 6 times, it died. The motor windings are open, you should be ok if you are really careful and don't use it. Now I own an ARB double compressor and I've no problems. Ron

Solid design thoughts. You'll need to balance trailer weight and tongue weight, loaded and unloaded. I'd try to keep the water tank centered over the axle, then shift the load to keep the correct amount of tongue weight.Ron

My first question would be, What do you want it to do when you are done? This question has saved me a lot of money. Ron

Another thing to consider would be to upgrade to a synthetic transmission fluid. GM's dexron 6 has 150-200% (advertised) protection against heat and friction wear. Toyota's fluid should have similar benefits, Ron

So very true, broad shoulders, thick skin, I can take a punch. Just another day, Ron.
