    Removing fan on the J. Baroud

    Thanks to OK4wd for getting my replacement fan out to me so quickly. Now getting the thing off. I removed the three nuts but the adhesive/silicone doesnt want to let loose. Any suggestions? Can I remove the guts from the new fan and install them in the old housing by any chance? That sure...

    James Baroud solar fan failure

    Anyone else have a problem with the solar fan? The things only around five months old and it's dead. I would assume OK4wd would be who I need to contact?

    Crocs?

    Pro tip: When you wear down the tread and they become slick ...Set the table saw blade at about a 1/16 and add some siping. Like new again as far as traction goes and you double their useful life.

    Duluth Pack Canvas Bedroll

    It's cool and all,but the idea of paying $330 bucks so I can sleep under the stars when I have a RTT makes it a no go for me.

    Arb awning swing arm fixture broke

    The use of a simple u-joint would solve the problem. It would also allow for more than the 75-83 inch range you have to work with now,which i'm dealing with right now with the telescoping rig i'm building. I'm toying with the idea of making a couple simple u-joints this would allow infinite...

    Baroud Evasion Question....again

    Got the stabilizing jacks installed,the rack for the Evasion is awaiting paint,and the telescoping awning brackets are nearing completion. Pondering the possibilities of closing in the box,maybe some drawers,of course a table. Got a feeling it'll be a work in progress for a few years...

    Baroud Evasion Question....again

    I dont think you're getting what I was asking. I needed to know the location of the the track on the lower shell from front to back so I would know where to place my cross members. In other words I wanted to use as much of the track length as possible to get a wider load dispersion. It's...

    ARB awning ..extrusion

    Anyone know the full width of the extrusion with the mounting slots? Want to purchase some aluminum flat bar for a bracket and it needs to be as wide as the extrusion to allow for bolt holes.

    Baroud Evasion Question....again

    There'll be three cross members. Looking at the trailer from the side,how far apart do the cross members need to be? Just the outside two,obviously the third one will be centered. And are the grooves on the lower shell centered end to end? Or do I need to offset my cross members?

    Baroud Evasion Question....again

    On the home stretch on the rack for the Evasion. Problem being I dont have a dimension for how far apart my cross members need to be,or the location of the grooves on the lower shell. Obviously I'll want to center it on the rack. Anyone know where I can get the dimensions?
