    Oztent frame repair ideas

    Double moo you are the man. I wouldn't have thought the vice grip/hammer technique would have worked and I did need to get a helping hand, but I'll be darned if I didn't get each one out in a matter of minutes with no damage to the frame. Tapped the new pieces into place with minimal drama and...

    Oztent frame repair ideas

    All but one broke flush. Have not tried the vice grip/hammer technique but it's worth a try. How did you overcome the dimples. I was hoping to avoid drilling them out but as tightly as the joints are pressed in I'm not sure that's possible. I did attempt to pound one of the broken joints...

    Oztent frame repair ideas

    Let me start by saying that this is in no way intended as a Oztent bash session. Without going into the pro's and con's of the Oztent all I will say is that IMO it is a great tent. The damage to this tent occurred during a "perfect wind storm" during the OT Alumni trip to Baja and those that...

    Driving slow on fast freeways?

    Not sure about how effective a sign would be. Depending on how slow you were driving, how fast the guy behind you is coming up on you, and how well he's paying attention you might have to have a rather large sign in order for him to see it in time avoid the current situation you mention. I...

    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    Certainly good advice. I am not a legal or medical professional and hopefully one on the many on this board will chime in on the subject, but I do not believe a First Aid or CPR Certification is a License. There is quite a bit of literature distinguishing between a License, Certification and...

    At what point do you move from the cooler to a fridge?

    I've got to agree with 08whitex. Once you have one you'll wished you had done it sooner. The benefits, more space for non-ice (wet or dry) items, portable (move it back and forth from vehicle to vehicle or even into your garage when not traveling for a beer fridge, and the best reason...ice...

    Sony's new prosumer-level HDRAX2000 video camera

    Dude! How am I supposed to mount that on a helmet?! :sombrero:

    Wiring - Over or Under?

    Ditto with Borrego60. No need to have bundles of wire running the length of the vehicle. For my console I ran a single 8ga. power lead from my power distro. box under the hood to a terminal block that I can then run power to my CB, 2 meter, etc. You could do the same thing for a ground point...

    4Wheel Drive and Sport Utility Magazine

    I can just imagine doing that, kind of slow motion adding 1 + 1 before realizing it was your jeep. Would have been hysterical if you'd been thinking to yourself, "that's a really nice jeep, I should do something like that to mine" before realizing it is your jeep. Great picture. :sombrero:

    Anyone know of a good kml to gpx converter?

    Sure. GPSBabel is a free download that converts numerous different formats from one to the other. Should be just what you need. Cheers

    Synthetic winch lines

    Not to hijack this thread, but I'm curious why you would toss a good line after having been spliced (assuming it was done correctly). Here's my thinking on this. I buy a synthetic rope and it comes with a hook. The hook has been spliced, most likely an eye splice, into the rope direct from...

    oil leaking from ARB compressor

    Very well could be one of two o-rings in the diff itself. If either are crushed, bent, squished, dinged, scratched, broken, etc. they most certainly would allow diff. oil to be forced back up the air line and vent out of the compressor. The breather is simply the easiest (read cheapest) thing...

    oil leaking from ARB compressor

    ARB used to sell a kit specifically designed to prevent axle oil from pushing up through the air lines particularly for low gear ratios run at highway speeds. I would imagine they still carry this, but if the problem is a clogged diff. breather then the fix should be even more simple. Let us...

    oil leaking from ARB compressor

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the ARB compressors are 'oilless'. Possibly a clogged differential breather forcing oil back up through the ARB air lines? Paul

    Food Saver machine for camping food

    Probably a stupid question, but how much longer would you say vacuum packing keeps food? For instance if I bought a few steaks at the butcher, not frozen, vacuum packed them and threw them in the fridge how long would they keep? I like the idea of being able to prep food before the trip. I'm...

    Give you opinion on two burner stoves...

    I'm in the same boat. I don't want to end up throwing away those cans, but I'm not ready to start toting around a large propane cylinder. Thinking of converting to exhaust pipe cooking! :chef:

    Any vendors here carry the Waeco Fridge?

    Beowulf, would you mind including me on that email. I'm about to wind up my reading/research in a fridge decision and I'm fairly sure it's going to be a Waeco, but any additional info would be a great help. Cheers, Paul
