GREAT LOOKING TRUCK! You will get some varied opinions here, I’ll give you mine based on my own experience. To go to 35’s.... Regear, yes, you do need to regear. This change in tire size will take the truck out of the optimum powerband. If you don’t you will get lower fuel economy...

I use 5lbs of dry ice with 20lbs of regular ice in my Yeti 70(whatever the 70 size is, might be 74). The dry ice keeps things colder but also keeps you from dealing with soggy food as the regular ice lasts longer. It’s important to put it in the cooler in a way that you won’t come in contact...

I build my own kits most of the time so I don’t have any skin in the game but adding up the prices of this kit plus a little profit for them the price is in line with what it should be. Comprehensive kits are always pricey unfortunately.

The new 500 has the same engine as the concrete cutter that’s been out for some time. It’s rock solid. The only issues it’s had is due to lack of maintenance with build up of concrete dust, other than that it’s a killer. No saw has a better power to weight ratio than the 461, the 462 will...

Hey shag, sounds like you’re working on a cool rig. You can run your yeti down just above empty without damage, it’s actually healthy for the battery to get discharged, just not completely. The fantastic fan uses 10 watts at the low setting, 21 watts at medium, and I can’t remember the high...

Installed my RCI powder coated aluminum gas tank skid which was super easy then my RAM Pod HD with tablet X grip for my 12.9” ipad for nav. I’m super excited to test this out! I feel like my cockpit upgrades are now complete with mounting solutions for everything I own plus a couple additional...

No shame in a small saw, I absolutely love my 201T! That being said it will be hard for me to ever get rid of my 461. FYI, the 461 is getting phased out this year to the 462 which has an electronic carb adjustment. Late this year, early next year will introduce the ms500i which will be the...

Check out Good to Go foods and packit gourmet, most are far lower in sodium and much higher quality(and tasty) compared to the big box names like mountain house, alpine air and backpackers pantry. The 12v fridges are really nice, I’ve been on the fence for awhile on getting one but for now I...

Awesome truck! I had the same one in black before I went to my F150. I had 2 coolers replaced under warranty, like you said it’s super common. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the cap won’t hold a roof top tent, most wont without a secondary reinforcement system. I want to hit...

Welcome!

Removed my front air dam and underskirt/epas skid and installed my powder coated aluminum RCI skid plates for the engine, transmission and transfer case. Gas tank skid happens this weekend. Awesome stuff, super easy install. Took 1.5 hours to complete from unpacking to final torquing. Much...

I’ve seen a climate right being used and it seemed to be pretty nice, I’ve eyed them for a few years now. I personally use a 12v fantastic fan. I run this off my goal zeroyeti 400 and it works great. 0,1, 2, or 3 settings. This sucker moves a ton of air.

I’ve heard the 140 thing to however many including me default to boil in the back country because it’s an easy indicator that it is sterilized for sure. It’s hard to tell for sure if you’ve hit 140 when camping unless you carry a calibrated thermometer. It’s just easier to boil.

Thanks! Be careful, a lot of clothing is synthetic which is toxic when burned. Synthetics like to melt more than burn as well so dryer lint doesn’t work as good as it used to.

While there are a lot of fire starters out there on the commercial market few of them are actually good and most are quite expensive considering the use. A lot of these companies unfortunately put out a bad product knowing that most people will put it in their kit and never test it. Now let...

Like any multi tool there are compromises. For what this tool is, it’s about as good as it gets and while the $279 might sound steep it won’t once you price out the tools separately at the same quality level. I prefer the individual tools myself but I have used this tool personally and believe...

Thanks! I have a few friends that have been in SAR for a few years, the team needed to be rebuilt so I jumped in head first and haven’t looked back! I highly recommend looking at www.nasar.org when you have some time.

Today I started the drawer/bed build. I’m using 3/4” Baltic birch for the frame and 1/2” for the drawers. I’m glueing and screwing all joints. Fasteners are Kreg jig pocket holes and GRK 3.5” trim head screws. I will likely stain then spar urathane when complete. The bed is 25” wide to...
