    Options when an electric winch is not possible

    One other thing to consider, depending on vehicle, but when swapping in a winch mount, you may be removing the OEM crash bar behind the bumper cover which will negate some of the weight you are adding. When I added the winch mount to my Nissan, I found the crash bar and oem Cast tow hook were...

    5th Gen 4Runner passenger airbag shutoff?

    Yep. I owned the truck for three months before reading the owner's manual. Didn't know I had two glove boxes.....

    5th Gen 4Runner passenger airbag shutoff?

    Is this information hidden in the owner's manual? A lot of trucks have this function, usually a key switch on the dash.

    Powerlift 3 Ton,All-in-One Bottle Jack

    I've got one and used it many times. The best example was when I was in Moab and flexed the rear tires in to the quarter panel lip and peeled it out. I was able to slide the jack under each rock slider, jack up enough to get the wheel out of the way, crawl under and bend / pound the sharp metal...

    Wheel alignment suggestions?

    I'd trust an independent shop, a dedicated alignment shop or a 4wd shop over any of the chain stores. I had my Frontier aligned at a local shop and before I gave them the truck I explained what and why my suspension was set up as it's a mix of Titan and aftermarket parts, so it's not just a set...

    Mosquito Repellents

    I've had great success with the thermocell as well. Mine is a lantern style one. Works great when we are sitting. My spray of choice is deep woods off.

    Mechanical Problems vs Navigation Problems vs Logistical Problems

    Yep, Terry pretty much nailed it. I've had all three. The takeaway from it though is to LEARN from what went wrong/happened and equip yourself better for the next trip. For instance, on one trip, my friend's rear E locker wouldn't work. He didn't have a multi meter so he borrowed mine. He...

    Playing music in camp

    I've found different YouTube persons give different value. I've got a note pad with cord fingerings drawn out and the chord order written in my minds way. Seems to help. Still, not singing and attempting to play the song at the same time yet. I'm sure starting this with a dried up 41 year Old's...

    Playing music in camp

    I actually picked up a Ukulele recently and that was part of it. Smallish instrument I can stash in the rig. I've never played a string instrument before (Played Coronet in grade school and JR high) so, It's slow going....

    Engine Build Thread?

    Holley and Harley fans are same similar. They have bought in to a cool club. Sounds like the Harley guys I worked with when I had my little 750 CC Honda shadow. I rode it the rain and the cold, put 25k miles on it without a single issue, only needed chain lubes and oil changes, but, I got...

    2010 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

    My Duratracs are also, E. I'd still recommend the chalk test on the tires.

    2010 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

    45psi seems high. Did you do the chalk test with them? I run my duratracs at 37 front and 35 rear.

    Ham Radio....This thing on? Radio check? QST?

    Another way to get the hams talking is to follow up your "testing" with "checking a new setup / change" and you will have all of them asking what radio, antenna, etc, etc.... The crowd local to me is pretty tight, so, talking equipment is a quick way to get them to open up tp a new person.

    Too Young to Wheel?

    I think that is key. Getting your kid on the trail, understanding proper technique, recovery, safety, etc. Operating the vehicle comes after that.

    Hello Minnesotans!

    For consistency, I'd assume it will remain the same. Personally, my wife and I have NEVER gone out on V day, so, it's not much worry for me. However, I won't be making it that day as I'll be having my wisdom teeth taken out that morning.

    Finally joined the fridge/freezer club! Costway 54qt

    Always keep in mind a fridge/freezer will always have a +/- range for the compressor to kick on. Does yours have an adjustable range?
