Ditching those wheels and tires will significantly lighten the weight of that trailer too. Having had two friends that gave those military tires a shot on vehicles, I would guess the traction bars were added because the thing bounced all over the road because of those stiff walled tires, and...

Yeah, but like most Auto Racing, the prize didn't cover the expense of getting to the podium:)

Yeah the grey in my beard is a sure giveaway for me. Actually this morning I was laying in bed thinking about what I was going to tinker with on my 2000 Jeep Wrangler, and it hit me I HAVE HAD THAT JEEP FOR 20 YEARS:oops:

Always been a big fan of that era, its the one body style of FS Blazer I never owned (really should have kept that 72 :unsure:). Around 1996ish, I knew a "troubled" kid in high school whose parents bought him a lifted one to be "good". It couldn't have been a month later that it was sitting on...

I have an RV2 in addition to my roof top. Like mentioned above the Tent is very well made and very quick to setup the basics, the additional things take a little longer. It is kind of heavy, and the bag from the factory is not of the same quality but it gets the job done for now. Transporting...

A word of caution to Rear Door mounts, make sure your cover is always well secured, no torn zippers or worn straps. A friend had his rear mounted with a zipper that was working its way loose from the stitching. So even with a ratchet strap addition, the tent deployed driving down the highway...

Any friends in the area with similar sized tents that you could test fit their covers? If you are on Facebook, the Desert Valley Overlanders out of Albuquerque page might have someone with a similar sized tent that is bored with lockdown and let you test?

How did this work out for you? I have had customers asking to put additional straps on the other end to force close extra bedding, but I've tried to discourage that because I thought it would put additional stress on the hinge mounts. So your spacing idea is interesting, especially if it did not...

I have the ARB with Awning Room. It is handy and for what it is, fairly quick to setup. We use a large "dry" bag from Jacks Plastic that is open on both ends making it easy to pull the room into the bag for storage and then just roll up the ends. The only problem we have had with the ARB awning...

I own an Exped, but its not in my Tepui. I use a Thermarest Z lite and a Ridge Rest next to each other (They are what I had, so one for me and one for the prettier half). Placing the more "rigid" sleeping platform on top of the factory memory foam spreads the weight over the memory foam and...

It does make a big difference when staking it. We were in west Texas a couple of weks ago and decided it might be prudent to stake it down, didnt even use the center two but it still tightened up nicely. In less windy locations, I usually take four old brake rotors that I painted clean, and...

Where is it located?

I just use fixed pressure regulators, so I don't know if those gauges are authentic. What I was always told was that the way Co2 expands and works, that top gauge would give you an idea of when the tank was going to be empty but not much as the tank would hold steady pressure until almost the...

It could be authentic, but it just looks a little bit off to me, like the tanks I get on eBay from restaurant suppliers, like I said the actual tank quality are all the same, so I'd go for it.

It actually could work to your advantage that it's not a real Power Tank, just pull the handle and regulator and exchange where you get it filled. You might not have to pay for cert, and get a "new" tank in exchange, then put your own stickers on it. It's cool having a unique tank but it is...

Looks like probably a ten pounder. Also looks to not be an original Power Tank cylinder, atleast I don't remember any bare aluminum ones. The handle and gauges could be Power Tank brand. Not that it really makes a difference whether the cylinder was from Power Tank, they all serve the same...

It does kind of sound that way, maybe it brought back memories of the Commander that never really developed into anything of long term financial gain, just a one off project.

I used to drive a Unimog at the local airport (the main reason I took the job), it was only used for snow removal, but still things deteriorate. The transmission lost middle gears, so they had to ship it to the nearest dealer three hours away. I think Estimates came back around 15k between...

I've used them more this summer than I ever did my Jerry cans or wal mart cans. But mine were tax write offs for the Powerwashing business, so it helped swallow the price:ylsmoke:

Is it currently long term towable? Like to New Mexico?
