    Everyone post their lighting setups!

    I've been using these Grote lights for 25 years new and someday I may replace them with LEDs but for now they work just fine. The center 2 are 250,000 cp spot beams for reaching out in the dark and the 2 pointing out about 45* are 35,000 cp work lights for eyes and stuff on the side of the road...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    So I'm trying to understand what you're saying, one paragraph says 1 ton trucks do well braking trailers the next says there's a problem. I think all you need is a quality controller the works with all your trailers and can be turned off from the cab without having to get out and unplug it...

    R.I.P. Superduty

    Glad to hear everyone got out safely. A 10# sounds good but I think 2 5# are better, think about your wife trying to use a 10# vs a 5#. Also with 2-3 5# extinguishers more than one person can use one, attack a fire from different directions or fight 2 fires at the same time. Or since you...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    You have the luxury of a good neighbor across your border, we do not. Here's some of what we put up with here in AZ... As for your comments about AR-15 crap and not being needed, you do just that and use your airguns and we'll do as we want down here. Remember we became citizens and...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Sure as I said if I don't want or need brakes I can turn my controller off, BUT when I do need them it's easy to turn them on so I have them.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    I use my trailer brakes off road all the time, they work well to hold me in place when I'm sitting for a few seconds or help slow me down on a steep grade (yes I gear down). I don't go fast off road but I also drive on roads where people do stupid things driving around me so I like the extra...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    That's a very light trailer for surge brakes, why surge brakes instead of electric? I'm going to quote what I wrote earlier. I don't understand the big worry about "locking up" the brakes on a trailer in here. My controller (Prodigy P2) can be adjusted from locking up the brakes with just a...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    It doesn't matter what you pull, if you buy one you'll be very happy with it.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Sounds like a few people need more practice/experience pulling trailers year around in here. The best advice I have for new to towing people is hook up your trailer on a nice day and go pull it around town, find an out of the way parking lot and practice backing it up straight, then into parking...

    Traction Boards

    I haven't tried the "new" plastic traction boards but I do have some traction aides I've been using for the last 45 years or so. I have some heavy carpet scraps about 2'X4' that have worked fine and are inexpensive or free most of the time, just roll them up and stash them somewhere in the rig...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    All my trailers including the small utility one have back up lights and batteries so I use all 7 wires in the plug.

    Anyone use HF in the mobile?

    I'm going to swap my Yaesu FT-857D for the FT 2900 in my Willys when I have it up and running.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Yes I agree 100% that off road trailers should have brakes on them. All my trailers regardless of size or weight have brakes on them and all my vehicles have brake controllers.

    Photography

    I shot that on it's 80th birthday, I spent the day shooting and flying in it and got about a 1/2 hour in the right seat flying it. It takes off at 85, cruises at 85 and lands at 85, we were at Valle Airport 30 miles south of the Grand Canyon.
