Yup, use old fashioned charcoal,, even in a slight wind, we always have more than enough to do steaks on the top, or use our Dutch oven for slow cooked stews. Agreed, my only complaint is the low quality stowage bag, ours is already ripping out.. otherwise, a great little grill..

I'm thinking that that is the heart of my question... I'm thinking that any primer that is for automotive use will attack the many layers of latex paint on the wooden sides..

The auto paint guy doesn't work with aqueous based household consumer paints..

I need an experts help here. We just repainted our cruzer and my paint guy gave me about half a pint of touch up paint. I painted a card with some of it and took it to my local paint store and they matched the color and made up a gallon of exterior gloss, latex paint for me to use on our...

Wow, those are some nice set ups. We like to drop the trailer at camp, then backpack, day hike, or explore in the cruzer. The trailer serves a dual purpose, camp kitchen in the front and rear compartments, and stowage in the center compartment. The front compartment ,, well, watch the vid.

Once in a while I go out with friends in the TLCA club to one of two, ( Rausch Creek or Anthracite ) off road parks near us just to test the equipment and quality check my driving skills. It's nice to know what you can and cannot do when alone in the backcountry. Lesson today? Be sure to pack...

We did the cladding in Rustoleum, Espresso, satin finish.. my wife picked that color and was a huge help in taping and draping.. an old friend of mine that's been a body and paint man for over 35 years did the work.. 3 color coats and 2 seal coats..

Before and after Profiles.. I checked into the monstaliner and decided against it. If I ever want to do a complete frame-off restoration, my paint/body guy tells me that monstaliner would be impossible to remove from the skirting, so I'll stick with rattle cans. The espresso I think looks...

wha'd they get for it?

When I used to live on the road my wife had her Liberty CRD and a we kept a big 1200 watt power inverter in the barn. She never needed to use it, but it was simple, fool proof set up, and I might add a very old idea on our part as we had that inverter for nearly 20 years. Clip it onto the...

definitely gonna check that out if the Rustoleum "espresso" sucks..

Wow, year long trip !! We've been going for 5 to 6 week out, around and backs to the west. Next up, Moab (again) through Olympic NP via Death Valley, Cali & Oregon coasts. Anyone interested in getting set up for long distance trips with two people or more, I highly recommend a trailer...

UPDATE:: We have decided to change two things. #1; it is somewhat foolish to pay for the labor & paint, to strip the plastic cladding and repaint it only to ding and scratch it up on our first trip. So we decided to paint only from the cladding up and we will continue to Krylon the cladding...

Yikes string twelve,, when the shop put my brand new tires on they had them aired up to 40 lbs, rode hard as a rock, but I have been know to air em up to 38 for long road trips with all our gear and trailer..

E on a frontier, thats a heavy truck, about the same weight as my 80 with 285 ( two sizes larger ) Es. I'm going to wild guess here, 30 psi +/- 2psi.. :)

A lot of guys do the chalk test thing.. I don't , I never have, and never will.. The builders plate on an 80 series says 32 front and 32 rear. That's a great starting point.. Get up close to the GVW and you might want to add 2 psi..

Yup,, pretty tough to break traction with skinny pedal on an 80

Nice California rig. I don't believe I've ever seen a winch tucked in like that in the stock bumper on an 80. The up-mods are going through my head now and how much it would cost to get it ready. I've known lots of people that went from heaps to Lanccruisers. I've never known anyone that went...

Duratrac's thread pattern cleans itself better in mud and especially snow and slush and softer compound also grips better in ice. Duratracs seem to be a bit softer material than Goodrich which is also, because of harder compound, louder on pavement. I'm sorry, I don't like being a curmudgeon...
