Oregon coast

I built an ammo can propane burner. We have a lot of fire bans.

Here's mine. Nampa.

Done. Good luck!

Didn't use flooring, it's too thick and heavy. I used some molding we got at Lowe's. It's in some metric dimension, roughly 1/4" thick. Maybe I didn't need to screw each board down, but I did to make sure everything stayed tight. There's no structural reason we used tongue and groove, I just...

Back on the first page of this thread there are some pictures of how I dis the walls, etc. Pretty much just 1x 2s screwed to the metal, wood screwed to that, or 2 x 2 frames with wood screwed to that. The top is 1 x 2s screwed and glued into plywood reinforcement in the top, sheeted with 1/4...

I just put a Rodlouvers Jeep louver on my van, I think it's good stuff.

And now I have a hole in my hood. Rodlouvers Jeep kit, fits pretty well in the spot over the air filter.

Hello Joe, and welcome! We're in Idaho too. There's a nice bunch of OB members local to the Boise area, I met up with several of them once. Maybe you find a trail partner there. We mostly go off by ourselves, and it ain't that hard. Make sure your vehicle is sound. You don't want to break down...

From the trip to/around Grand Junction

Got'em! Alcan springs are the way to go. Rides so much better, feels more solid, and it seems like I have better bite on washboard gravel roads. The folks at Alcan are great to deal with. They kept me informed about everything involved in this deal and answered any questions I had. If you want...

Heading for AlCan Springs in Grand Junction tomorrow. I finally have the build close enough to complete that I think the weight is established. Trip ready I'm at 4860 on the back axle, so they built me a set of 5000 pound springs, with 5" of lift (to eliminate the blocks that are in there now)...

We had a chipmunk chew off two wiring harnesses under our side by side, so I'm all in on the rodent prevention! What we're doing now is the peppermint oil spray and Irish spring soap. Got my fingers crossed.

I have a 23Zero on the van. Haven't used it a lot, but I like it. It's a little high to unzip/put away, but that's because of the van, not an awning fault. I had to build angled brackets to compensate for the slant in the uprights of the rack. They might be a little overbuilt, I have 2 U-bolts...

Airlift, I forget the number but they're the universal kit, by spring size. Seriously woke up the front suspension for me.
