That's awesome! The crank-up light mast would make a great transportable HF radio tower!

Looks nice!!

Could you have accidentally swapped the axle left-to-right while it was off?

Did you treat the wicks with anything? I've heard of people treating with Salt and/or Borax. Never tried it myself, just something I've heard.

Totally agree! As I've gotten older, heavier stuff has gotten stored lower and lower. :) One really neat idea I've seen for Fuel on the roof rack it to use a jiggler siphon to fill the vehicle right from the can on the roof. No hoisting, no lifting (except for initially getting it up there)...

Nice idea! I'm so going to steal that idea!!

I've been thinking of doing something like this myself. Do you miss not having access to the floor-hatch in the back?

Wholeheartedly Agree!!! I cook on cast iron most of the time at home, so it's just natural to bring it along. If I was backpacking, well, that would be a different story. But in a vehicle, it's a drop in the bucket. Well worth it for a good cooking experience.

That came out awesome!

Also, I've heard people recommend DOM (Drawn-Over-Mandrel) tubing over HREW (Hot-Rolled-Electrically-Welded) tubing due to strength.

I've been thinking about trying to make my own sliders as well. Looking at vendor sites that make rock sliders for my truck (Nissan XTerra) and here's what I have generally found: Main Rail = 2"x2" square tube, 3/16" wall thickness Mounting Legs = 1.5"x1.5" square tube, 3/16" wall thickness...

Water is ALWAYS deeper than it looks.

I recommend that when working on your vehicle doing maintenance or upgrades, try to do the work with your in-vehicle tool kit. That will really point out what you need. If you have to go into your in-house tool box/chest for a tool, you probably need an extra one of those for your vehicle.

When I was a kid, I had good success with ginger capsules. Same stuff you use for cooking, just in a tablet. Also available in ginger-snap-cookie form! But seriously, it did help me with motion sickness when I was a kid.

Awesome idea! Definitely going on my to-do list!

I know the thread if kind of old, but I manned NS1RA for several hours overnight. I might have talked to some of you!
