Actually, I carried an adapter from 5x4.5" to 5x5.5" so my vehicle spare could be used on the trailer, but it just never sat right with me doing it that way.

Airing down really helps on washboard roads and to cushion the harshness of the trail. On trails with tons of big rocks, it helps traction. If traction is required that much, you better be in a group and have a winch and recovery equipment. Airing too far down without really being required...

I never have and never will run a circuit breaker in jumper cables. You want as much current as the battery can provide.

I finished my gig in Arizona and I am moving back home to Colorado. Hope to have time to drop by and see you guys. I live three miles from the Expo in Loveland.

Remember, most SWR meters are frequency/band specific.

Back on the farm we would put an M80 in the big tractor tires to pop them.

Where I live, that meant carrying a gun.

Check out my trailer build. I added shocks to my airbag setup and it is silky smooth.

Just finished up converting the teardrop to run matching tires to the Jeep. It is on 35x12.5's as well. The XJ is running Ford pattern axles 5x5.5". Hope to post up some pix in a day or two.

My original offroad teardrop trailer build included 31" with 5x4.5 lug spacing tires trailer tires. I got a lot of comments on the size of the tires. The problem for me is that the Jeep has 35" tires with 5x5.5 lug spacing. It was always a hassle lugging two spares around. I finally swapped...

My standard everyday pressure is 28psi. I have forgotten to air up and run 14psi for months with no adverse issues other than a smooth ride and a bit mushy steering. My tires are 35x12.5x15s.

I started this thread because of a lot of chatter about needing cellphone access. I come from the days before cellphones. A year or two ago there was a funny situation that arose here in Colorado. There was a lady from back east that was going through Rocky Mountain Park. The park is a...

reminds me of the old joke about the couple fighting about spending money. The wife was griping he was spending too much on beer. He was griping about her spending too much on clothes and makeup. She said she spent the money to make herself prettier for him. He said...that is what the beer...

Being in an enclosed space causes a rise in humidity, so a humidifier is rarely needed. It saves a ton of power.

As long as the tire rim diameter matches the rim size (20") you can run that rim, especially for a spare. The difference between a 275 and 285 tire is negligible.

So what are you going to do with the bleach water when you are through?

I've been known to Plasti-Dip racks.

Pressure wash and then spray with a rust stabilizing black enamel.

Hope Pearl is open. I is normally only open for about a month or so, and many years never opens. As far as hard goes, Pearl is bumpy with tons of volley ball sized rocks, but would never call it hard. I would not hesitate to take my trailer over either. I have run both a dozen times or more...

Otherwise, how would you get your campfire started.
