    Propane Tank Heater Blankets?

    I am guessing you made your decision. My 30lb tanks die at about -30+F using them for a 50kBTU heater to start equipment up here. 40lb tanks are better, not much. I just gently heat them as I use them with a weed burner. 100lb tanks tucked up next to the house do not like -40+F, but still keep...

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    You partially right cali. B.C. is what they told me about Montana as a kid. 7 months of winter and 5 months of bad sledding. Therefore, normal only during the short days. Remember, he likely had to go DOWN a hill to the ferry on the other side. Part that makes me smile.

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    From my prior post: Mr. Weed's V-Bars, (he invented tire chains, believe) very stout, I have a set, haven't been made in couple decades. Pewag and Laclede still make theirs in North America. (Silenced by censorship. Silenced by censorhsip. Silenced by censoship. Watch out kids. Redaction here is...

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    I log/cut milling timber on my B.C. property in the winter. That monster likes/needs chains to pull a trailer. 100% carry one pair all the time. Lacledes for the '03 1500. Mr. Weed's V-bars for the '85 W350. Lacledes for the '95 2500.

    Delica Pros /Cons

    My wife and I have matching '97 Delica Jaspers. 2.4L turbo diesel, extra insulation, nice fold down seat layout. Second is being imported for US registration. Very capable little snow 4x4s. Open differentials however. Look to change that, perhaps.

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    Looks like could be the Southside, but he's hauling big logs the wrong way.

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    Mr. Weed's V-Bars, (he invented tire chains, believe) very stout, I have a set, haven't been made in couple decades. Pewag and Laclede still make theirs in North America. Laclede is privately held, family owned. They both make lifting, binding and pulling chain. Domestic full size trucks fit...

    12V Jump Start Packs?

    I have a couple of the NOCOs, a 1000 and 1500A. We keep the smaller one in whichever Delica Jasper 4x4 we happen to be driving, the bigger one around the place for the big Dodge or whatever else. In an alternator failure, the smaller one was more than enough to bring my girlfriend and a diesel...

    How to make a cheap isolated dual-battery setup for $50

    That sounds about right..... As I recall the way it worked for me.....when I tried to buy something in a quantity of "2", they patted me on the head, pinched my cheek, tied my loose shoelace, and gave me a pass to the short bus. The "warehouse" was where I was dropped off.

    How to make a cheap isolated dual-battery setup for $50

    It sounds like you are looking for something like a "mil spec" battery terminal available on Amazon. Allowing you to bolt multiple wires to the same battery post. I've used the Audew and CrimpSupply brands, prefer the latter but they are mostly the same. I've also bought them in better quality...
