    Salt Lake City parking

    Just a thought, how about having it picked up or dropped off at a detailing place or tire store and having some work done in trade for parking? Have it dropped off at the dealer for a servicing.

    Nitrogen "Blend"

    Just because helium will pass through the rubber and leak out is not a problem.

    Balance Beads

    Used them in large tires for years. You can get some funny noises but they tend to work.

    Trip Planning AUS - US

    Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is cool, but after seeing dozens of zoos, it is a zoo in a pretty location. You might want to go up Mount Evans or Pikes Peak to experience the altitude and view. From Buena Vista, I would head to Ouray/Silverton. You can easily spend a week there. I might cut back to 5...

    Trip Planning AUS - US

    Rather than spend time in Denver, you might want to go to Buena Vista. Tons of great scenery and trails. Away from the hustle and bustle and a great place to stay 10 days and never run the same trail twice. Arrowhead campground is a nice base camp with full amenities where you can leave your...

    Draw bar question...

    2.5x.25 box is overkill. I would knock it back to 2x2x.25. and this would still be overkill. The frame would easily support 5-6k.

    Draw bar question...

    Terms have different meanings to different people and places. Exactly what are you calling a draw bar? Are you speaking of something vehicle mounted or trailer mounted?

    To translate, the authorities don't like the fact that you can program the radio to operate outside the legal bands.

    Land for Base Camp

    If you are in any way associated, have a good liability policy. Crazy things that can go wrong: A camper starts a wild fire taking out 1000 homes (Colorado this year) Somebody overdoses and dies, and their family sue Somebody gets hurt The list goes on forever.

    Something about this brings a 60's hippie commune to mind.:dizzy:

    Southern Goldfields Region of Western Australia

    I run hood vents and aux fans because I do a lot at high altitudes where the loads are greater and the air thinner, or I am in the desert at 120F. My tip is to run the equivalent of a turbo timer and it forces the aux fan to run for several minutes after you stop to cool things down. I just...

    Trip Planning AUS - US

    Back channel me for info on sights to see and routes through Colorado/Utah/Arizona. If I'm home, you are welcome to stop by, have some BBQ, take a shower, and sleep in a comfy bed. Calgary is a nice clean town but the scenery from Jasper to Banff is some of the best in the world. I am hoping...

    Northern Lights QB

    First off, the northern lights are latitude dependent and are extremely variable. Predicting where you can see them more than 24hrs in advance is impossible. The overall intensity varies in a cyclical manner which roughly follows an eleven year sun spot cycle. We are just coming out of the...

    BFG KO2's review.

    I have been running BFG AT's for 25 years (7 sets). Originally I could get 50k on them, but as they changed the compound, the mileage dropped. All in all, I have had good luck with the various versions. A couple of months ago I had to replace my tires and the KO2s were no where to be found...

    Carbon monoxide question

    It all depends on the direction and strength of the wind. Just to be sure, get a cheap battery powered CO detector at Home Depot / Lowes. Its better than waking up dead.
