Wolfman makes good dry bags and not just end-opening either. I have a side opener (opening on the long axis) that I got for motorcycle camping. Very sturdy, very waterproof. https://wolfmanluggage.com/collections/expedition-bags/products/copy-of-expedition-dry-duffel-large?variant=31367684390989

The funny thing is that the FCC is almost completely hands off where it comes to amateur licenses these days. They streamlined and automated their end but appear to not be offering anything more than when the license was free. So what’s the money for?

I have the same compressor and, I agree, it works much faster than I expected and the price isn’t bad. Size wise aren’t most of them pretty similar?

I have a pair of KC Cyclones that I’ve yet to hook up but they are small, cheap, and put out about 500 lumens each. I don’t know if they’ll be ideal as dust lights but for sure better than being invisible in a cloud of flour.

Car payments suck. Sounds like a great project and a good looking 4Runner

Well, reservation given for 2/13. Time to do some refresher studying as I’m sure I’ve forgotten some of it already. I had the answers down pat until I couldn’t find a session to take the test.

I’ve been known to indulge. Mainly when I’m out by myself kicking back at the campfire.

I like this idea. I’ve been looking at northern AZ for something similar.

Thank you. It’s tough finding test sessions that aren’t “zoom’ based online these days but it looks like there’s one doing drive-in testing. I’m just hoping to get done before this money grab happens.

Have they said exactly when this goes into effect? I looked at the attached doc but if it’s there I missed it.

I finally installed the Raingler “attic net” up over the back seat of the Frontier. It looks like it’ll be a good place to tuck a jacket or my hat when the back seat ends up full of other stuff. No picture yet, gotta get one. Edit to add aforementioned photo of the installed net.

I don’t know if there’s a difference between the Toyota rails and the ones in my Nissan but for mine I use the Unistrut/Superstrut channel nuts. I got a bag of five at my local hardware store for 8-9 bucks (if I recall correctly). Some for 1/4” bolts some for 3/8” depending on the job.

Some people like to bag on Nissan for some reason. I rather like the Xterra, the previous gen Pathfinder (ladder frame, not the newer station wagon heap) and the Frontier. Lots of common parts between them and I have not been disappointed with the capabilities of my Fronty so far.

Nitecore LR10 is tiny, bright, and lasts plenty long on a charge. I’m about to order another to add some coverage.

Not today but last weekend: I installed an auxiliary fuse and relay box, circuit breaker and 60A relay to keep power flowing only when the key is turned on. finding places to mount stuff under the hood seems like the biggest challenge! As soon as my switches come in the mail I have to come up...

Another big thanks for the help. I’ve got my aux fuse box wired in through a circuit breaker and a 60a relay and it’s working just as desired. I just didn’t like the idea of having it powered at all times and this shuts it off once the key is turned off.

And at the opposite end of the cost spectrum would be something like the harvest right home freeze dry machine. $2400 and you can make your own backpacking meals or preserve food/garden produce. Up to a 20 year storage life, too. It’s one of those things that might make sense for a large...

What is 87a on a five pin relay for? I’ll assume I’d want a four pin relay in any case. Or can I use the five pin and just pull that wire out, not use it? thanks again for answering my dumb questions

Thank you, after looking at some info about relays and your explanation I think I get it now. I’ll need a relay, an anl fuse and one of those add a circuit things. I can see this working now. Thanks again.

Good info here, thank you. I have a question about hooking up the auxiliary fuse/relay panel. If I do a basic connection from the aux fuse block to the battery then all the circuits will be hot all the time, correct? If I want the aux panel to only be hot once the key is in and the ignition at...
