You can throw a heavy towel or moving blanket over it.
Keep an eye out for the strap corners on the side of the road. It is a piece of durable plastic bent in a 90 with a pair if small ridges to keep the strap centered. Big rigs use them to secure things like lumber deliveries with hard edges...
Howdy!
Central/south tx.
Feel free to give us a holler on gear, I know I've gotten pretty well stocked by buying/ building things from the "need for next time" list.
I can help here because I approach my trailer from knowing that if I don't steal it, someone else will. Lol I also worked retail, tourism and a little construction for years and have seen it all from swapping boots to a spree that took a dozen lawn mowers in less than 3 minutes. I'm also in an...
I haven't gone yet but will in the coming weeks and months for the clean up.
If anyone heads down there, take mosquito netting. They are the size of small hummingbirds and think deet is a type of bbq sauce.
In Texas, nearly all public access has some sort of signage. When there isn't a sign you look for purple paint and gates to determine if it is private. We've got a pretty good network of pavement where country navigation isn't an issue... But we also don't have much gov land.
As someone who grew up in central Texas aka "flash flood alley" I'm gonna say hell no.
I watched the San Marcos river go from low flow drought to 40+ foot high in less than an hour. Think about how long you could potentially be in the low areas creeping/winching and pushing through brush and...
To start, there is no single factor that controls everything. It all counts, height, wire length, materials, etc. That's what makes it fun. Also, SWR is short for standing wave ratio. I look at that number as an efficiency of the antenna/ cable. To me, a good comparison is like saying your...
I've got the handheld midland cb with the little antenna to full sized coax adapter from radio shack and a $20 scosche magnet antenna zip tied to my roof basket.
It works better than my cobra ultra III with fire sticks and whips ever did. On channel 1 my swr meter is pretty much 1 and about 1.5...
Went to check out a stretch of beach near Bay Town I had heard from some old timers still had good fishing without being overrun by tourists like the rest of the coast. A forgotten island sounded tempting so I the everything into the jeep and set the alarm for 4:30 am. I wanted to take the the...
A heavy duty tow strap. Something with minimal stretch rated at least double or triple the weight of your vehicle fully loaded... but when you go that route, you don't try using it as a snatch strap where the pull vehicle gets some momentum with rope slack. You'll break and bend stuff pretty...
I saw tidal warnings yesterday on their site, might want to call the park.
I've been in Matagorda when a combination of tides and a wind shift put the water half way up the dunes and people lost a lot of gear.
But if it looks good, can you send me a pm with beach conditions? I was thinking...
My dad also had issues with the last batch of the older style bfgs on his F250. They were already starting to get the dry rot cracks after just a year with chunks of tread falling off.
The warden tires are good though. My buddy put a set on his renegade and didn't even need to balance them. He...
