Swap to a #3500 axle with brakes and shocks. This standardizes all the hardware for down the road as well as adds some toe in and positive camber. These will make your trailer more stable on the highway. I wish I had video showing all the bouncing trailers I've seen on dirt roads as well as...

I've always loved these trailers. Here's a pic of mine. I've had it for over 30 years. it started out as just a gear hauler when I did Adopt a Trail work. Before the RTT, it went up the Rubicon, Dusy as well as several other hard trails. About 15 years ago I added an RTT and made it just a...

If you look into the technology, you see how far it's come. The latest AI can tell the difference between a box truck and a trash truck. They can park in a parking lot. Intuition wise, it's getting there. My sister is on her 3rd Tesla. I've watched the AI evolve over the years. The issues I see...

This, exactly. Several presidents ago, he cut money and personnel to forest service, blm and as well as a few other state and federal agencies. In the areas that concern us, we have about 30% of the manpower and 100% of the work. The problem is, they cut back money and people but are still...

Here lies the problem. 1. Yes. The land is damaged forever when idiots drive off the roads. 2. No. The land is not damaged forever and the tracks erase. Both are correct and wrong. As some of you know, I spent a couple of decades attempting to fight to keep our lands open. I wasn't able to...

What you'll find is most people who actually use their vehicle for this hobby keep the rim size close to stock width, with the exception being, the guys who do more hard core driving. Tire size is normally stock or a few size's taller. If you want even taller tires, odd's are your lifting the...

I think your camp gear should match your style of camping. If you plan on staying in one spot for a couple of day's then something that takes time to set up and tear down is fine. I sometimes stay in one spot but most of the time, I'm in a diffrent spot each night. I have a few friends with OZ...

Grey water heaters. Thermally controlled so you dont have to turn them off. Dont remember the on/off temp but I know its above freezing. I have two I use on my propane tanks that I use for my fire pits. They come with a peel and stick side. Mine are stuck to duck cloth and held on with a nylon...

I'm running the AT3's on my Tacoma and love them. I need to loose the BFG's on my Cruiser. Americas tire says "coming soon" on the AT4's. Hopefully soon. Right now their showing $330 for LT315 /75 R16 127R E2 BSW. That's less money then my KO2's that I'm no longer impressed with.

Here's mine. 3500# Dexter axle and brakes. 3 axis hitch, shocks and about a 2" lift. Right now its stripped down and waiting on an overhaul. Two years ago I built an enclosed trailer and parked it. Before the RTT was put on, this trailer has been over several black diamond trails.

I agree with everyone here. No one can answer your question without more info. What lights, what the wire size and length and how much power. Also what switch. Also, agreeing with everyone, you should have these on relays. The pigtail you showed looks like a deutsch connector. I'm assuming...

I've been running a Vevor heater mounted in a pelican case for a couple of years now. Probably the single best cold weather investment I've made. The biggest down side to the Chinese heaters is the control. The heaters themselves seem to be made on the same assembly line and I've only seen one...

DC Power needs to drop their prices. Tucson reflects todays pricing. The shorter belt is because they run a smaller pulley. I'm sure they (DC) run's a smaller pulley but the oem belt probably still works. If their not running a smaller pulley, their power band will be higher then Tucson. FYI...

Alternator RPM is 3-4 times higher then engine. The design you want will say 6 phase and or hairpin. I tried to find a quick link you a power chart but was unsuccessful. The nice thing is, it looks like the pricing has dropped considerably. I was looking at a 250 amp mechman and it stated 150...

I saw those with carburetors and early fuel injection. Drive by wire made that go away. There's a JDM kit I can buy for my FJ80. Its a pull knob mounted in the dash with the cable attached to the throttle pedal. Looks easy to build. Your alternator will put out peak power around 1800 rpm. "If"...

Run em. Don't go over 1.5 and enjoy. Follow proper torque procedures. I've run them, I have friends who still run them, some of which drive pretty hard core. The only issues have been caused by the install. I'm also talking about an actual bolt on spacer not shim type spacers. I could sit down...

Wow. I guess this is what you get on the internet. Clueless people commenting. I know, everyone has a right to opinion. The issue with what the guys did in the first post is that it causes a ripple effect. Look up broken window syndrome. Is this real? YES it is. But only people who have been...

Lansky Sharpener I went to this after many years of stone sharpening. I absolutely love it.

I agree on everyone's advice for tubing thickness. What the video didn't mention was the stress on the bumper to frame mounts. The issue is when your on washboard road's. The leverage is focused on the frame mounts. Quite a few aftermarket bumpers bolt on one side of the frame. I would suggest...

I removed my entire rant because I cant yell at people who have no knowledge. Get out there and get involved in keeping these places open. Don't criticize unless you've stood in front of a board of people who are trying to get an area shut down for lesser "crime". If your not willing to do that...
