    lookin for an 'O' ring

    Looks like this o-ring should be resistant to oil, etc. Try this as a low-cost alternative It might contain the size you need, and if it doesn't, you have a decent assortment of Nitrile O-Rings! Dan.

    80 series Fender flares, leave or remove?

    I've repaired 3 of my 4 flares and one I've done twice! I like the look, but they are a bit of a pain. Twice, it happened when I was backing up and caught my mud flap between my tire and a rock and it ripped the flare right off. The other time I came off a ledge and landed on the mud flap...

    Alabama Hills

    You guys passed by our camp maybe a couple times, I recognize those rigs! Could the weather have been better? I don't think so. I was the guy tucked behind the rocks in the white 80 series and the trailer. Thought I should wave and say hi but didn't make the opportunity, my loss. Did you...

    Lessons from a guy who couldn't wait...

    Good report.... bro! Good for you for getting out, and also good for you for engaging common sense and knowing when you were at your limit! Stick around, it gets better! And the more you find out how you want to use your rig, the wiser you will be able to spend your well-earned budget. Dan.

    FrontRunner roof rack noisy as heck, any compatible replacements?

    So two obvious questions come to mind. Have you checked all the fasteners and attachments for tightness? Have you talked with FrontRunner guys, some are on here, for any info or wise words about this? Dan.

    Cool new shower enclosure - anyone seen these in the U.S. yet?

    In my current enclosure, it has a thin vinyl floor that really doesn't do the job well. I went to home depot and picked up stuff similar to this... ...cut one of the squares to size by sort of rounding the corners and it works well. It also fits inside the same bag as the shower enclosure. I...

    Double D-Ring elimination cheap trick

    I got tired of tightening down my tent cover using the double d-rings with straps. They are too time-consuming and I don't think they're all that effective at staying tight enough over long drives. Many solutions went through my head, then finally I landed on what worked out to be super simple...

    Tidepool Locations Along the Washington Coast?

    I wish I would have known this information last Fall! This is great, and I actually ended up getting our rental car stuck on Long Beach, but it was my fault and could have been avoided - I thought I had Landcruiser ability but sadly a GMC Terrain is NOT the same. That said, our experience is...

    My First Overland Trailer Build.

    I would say that is particular to your state, but I also imagine that it is a matter of preference and not mandated. Check here or here, or maybe even AAA for your state, but I have never seen it get that specific. Dan.

    Cool new shower enclosure - anyone seen these in the U.S. yet?

    Maybe similar but not identical, I'm sure there are a few like this, I guess what I like about it is the height adjustability with straps, and the simplicity with which it mounts to the vehicle. It looks quick and easy to deploy and put away, like ASPW says, "zero hassle factor". Sent from...

    Seem to remember that there should be cross-hatching at this point in those cylinder bores? Or is this after boring / before honing? Coming along nicely, good to have a sponsor for this kind of thing, it can get expensive for sure. Keep the pics coming, this is good stuff. Video of first...

    Cool new shower enclosure - anyone seen these in the U.S. yet?

    If you posted a link, I don't see it. Here's ASPW's specific review of it, he says that it received the most attention of any other thing on his C/S video series. (sorry, I tried to embed the video, couldn't make it work!) I guess I'm not alone! Says it will be in the U.S. later in 2017...

    I see the water heater from Camplux, very cool and I've had one on my wish list for a while. Any idea's on the shower enclosure?

    Cool new shower enclosure - anyone seen these in the U.S. yet?

    So he says "..saw this in Sydney"... is Drifta just re-branding the same thing? It looks identical to the So.African version ASPW is using. Any idea on his price? Dan
