I am asking $300 (firm) for this once used kitchen dry box from FrontierPlay. This is primarily for people in SoCal/LA Basin as it will save quite a bit on shipping. New these are $325 plus shipping which is a lot. I added rubber caps to the bottom of the legs to give them better grip. There are...

As my battery tray comes closer to being completed it is time to begin looking at batteries. Does anyone know the difference in these two Sears Group 34 batteries besides labeling, cca, and terminal post location? Seems as though the automotive battery is the way to go since the amp hours are...

I would like to sell the storage box I made when I had my flppac. It is made for the drivers side and is two pieces which connect with a bolt and wingnut. This will work with any topper and leaves room to sleep either on the platform or in the bed next to the platform. Prefer local sale in...

Operation Oxcart AKA Gini's Burden-A Four Wheel Camper story So with the evolution of builds and meeting people with various types of rigs one develops a sense of what works best in a given configuration. My first brief chance to check out a Four Wheel Camper was at a gathering of friends from...

I searched for some info about people into kites and didn't see much. Just curious if anyone takes them camping/offroading/backpacking etc. I was in REI last week and while waiting to meet my gf for dinner I was pretty much looking at most things in the store I don't normally check out. Well I...

Saw this for the first time in a Sears catalog and it got me thinking it may be a good idea for an expo truck. Does anyone here have/use one of these or have thoughts on their use? The Sears ones come in diamond plate and powder coat...

Not sure what area to post this in so even though I'm not talking about software this seemed the most appropriate place to pose the question: Delorme or Benchmark Atlas'? So I've been trying to decide one or the other. I have several NatGeo maps and a couple books for certain areas I've gone to...
