    US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

    Also, suggest we meet at a local restaurant versus BYOB. Less preparation and planning. I have previously coordinated a monthly breakfast for another car club at the City Grill in Manassas. Lots of parking.

    I like the idea but 7am is a bit early. How about 9am?

    Wiring for 648W Lightbar?

    Agree. LED lights have tremendous light output at very low wattage so I would be astonished that your light would draw that much power. I have a 50” LED lightbar with a 26,000 lumen output (252W) using 10ga wire connected to a 30amp fuse on my sPOD controller. Did all the wiring myself. sPod...

    Air compressors

    Great questions! I'm using a Smittybilt 10lb aluminum tank with the control valves, air hose, handle, and carrying case that come bundled with their tank. Here is a link: The bundle has a carry bag that holds the hose and tank which makes it completely portable. You can order a bracket from...

    Air compressors

    I’m surprised that no one brought up using a CO2 tank. It fills tires much faster, is more reliable, doesn’t require downtime, is portable, doesn’t drain your battery, it takes up about as much space as a compressor with a tank, has brackets that enable it to mount on toll bars, and very...

    Options when an electric winch is not possible

    Like the others here I don't recommend the solution that you are considering. It doesn't appear to be robust enough for the job at hand. You might want to consider a trailer hitch mounted winch though. The idea is that you could have an appropriately sized winch attached to a portable winch...

    OB Approved Winching: Bridle between 2 recovery points

    Excellent points! That being said, I'm not sure that we can expect to know the strength of the factory tie-down points of all the various vehicles that we may be called upon to help tow. I do however have an experience where a tow truck driver used the lower control arms to tie down my car...

    Baja Design Fog Light Replacement

    I have them connected to an Spod controller which adds strobe, flash, and dimming capability. The dimming capability enables you to control the intensity of the light needed for different types of terrain. Strobe/flash are great ways to signal in an emergency. Strobe/Flash can be combined with...

    bears

    I agree with RedRob - I wouldn't put food in a car. It invites a bear to try to break into it. As mentioned, hang it in a bear-proof container or lock it (with padlocks) into a bear proof cooler (Yeti claims to manufacture bear proof coolers) that is chained to a tree that is at least 50 yards...
