    ImNoSaint's KLR650 Build

    Bike looks great. I have always liked the KLR's. I am curious as to what paint you used on the plastics? I have a set of unpainted abs plastics for a project Honda F4i Im re building that need to get covered with something. What was the Krylon product you used? Thanks!

    What Size ARB Snatch Strap should I Get?

    I am having trouble understanding your question. Are you wondering if the strap will fit on the shackle? To answer your second question, anytime you add complexity to a system the strength goes down. Would the reducer work? Yes. Will it be as strong as the properly fitting system? No. I have...

    Looking at trucks: opinions on T100 and other in that price range...

    Everyone seems to be pretty on track here. I noticed you mentioned the possibility of towing a small bobcat. Unless its a really really small bobcat, thats going put you way over towing capacities of all options listed. You will need to step up to a full size truck to get those capacities. The...

    Tundra Owners, thoughts on Pro Comps mid travel system?

    I have never felt that the track of my Tundra was too narrow.... If anything, its a bit wide for most trails around me. An extra 5" in track would be of absolutely no use. I could see that being different in the desert though. When you lift an IFS truck like the Tundras with simple coil overs...

    Surplus Medic Storage chest

    I also have one but retired it due to its heaviness. It weighed about 60lbs before you put anything in it! I did love the concept of it though. Got a perfect size camp table built in and it was water and air tight. If I had a way to permanently mount it in the tuck I would keep using it. If you...

    Truck Topper V. Bed Cover??

    I found that I got the best milage with an open bed, Next best with a roll up tonneau, and the worst with the cap. It all depends on the vehicle though. Mine only varied about 1-2 mpg with the changes of covers. I would think the cap will most likely always end up with the worst milage due to...

    Truck Topper V. Bed Cover??

    What it really comes down to is wether you will be hauling anything bigger than the topper allows on a regular bases. Both the topers and bed covers have some advantages and disadvantages. With my truck it started out having a roll up cover. I used that for many years with success, but it was...

    Camper Shells: your experiences and suggestions

    I have a Century cap and it serves its purpose, but it doesn't fit my truck to well. Everything works perfectly and is decent quality but it was like the base was just an inch too short. They top honeycomb area is also off. Its not directly in line with the rest of the truck. Poor craftsmanship...

    Do you leave your Awning mounted??

    Mine comes off January through March along with some of the cross bars on my roof rack. Otherwise it stays on all the time. The only reason I take it off is because it makes clearing snow off substantially easier and the copious amounts off road salt used here would probably eat it alive. I...

    Safety Items for Solo Travel?

    Your correct in that every vehicle may have some holes, but they are usually useless in off road vehicle recovery. You first need to actually get to them with is not very easy when stuck. If you can even get to them you are going to need to have the hook kits, as pictured, to use them. I work...

    Besides MaxTraxx, what traction boards/mats do you use?

    I have been using GoTreads for the past year or so. They have been working out super well so far! I have used them extensively at work recovering stuck vehicles on the beach. They get used about every other day and have held up surprisingly well. I have also used them on the trails of the...

    Safety Items for Solo Travel?

I used them all summer to recover stuck vehicles from beach sand and they have held up well. I have also used them out on the...

    No Issues whatsoever for me. I added Thule tracks to my cap a couple years ago and haven't had any leakage. Take your time and you will be good to go.
