I just installed them, so the jury is out in terms of their effectiveness. They are *supposed* to shed rain externally yet allow dryer filtered air into the canopy. The curb side one faces forward, the street side one faces rearward for cross ventilation. The filters are standard HVAC spec and...

I have used those before on an RV, to protect the hot wires coming off a pair of lithium batteries, and I quite like them, Blue Sea stuff is top quality marine grade. it is an elegant solution, did you have to cut away the red cover, and do you think the stud is OK in terms of height? It has a...

Call me stupid, but I don’t understand the design of the battery positive terminals. How do you access the main post clamp bolt? Is it the vertical 8mm nut just inboard from the post, the yellow arrow? Do you have to remove all the hold down and plastic bits? This is not my pic: I want to add...

FYI, in case this matters to you. HDX plastic products are 100% made in Ohio. The earlier bins could crack at the top, the later ones were beefed up there and hold up very well. If I did not already have my garage organized, these would be my first choice, because they stack so well when...

Here is a partial load of my Home Depot HDX bins, they are size 14 gallon and smaller. I have them set so that the lowest layer makes a flat load floor in the center, that long gap is perfect for camp chairs, a roll-up camp table, and a small CLAM pop-up shelter. All the really heavy stuff goes...

I was considering the Decked cases for my smaller stuff, but I was thrown off by the low recommended weight rating. For the small box - 10 pounds, Seriously? If I had a Decked drawer system, I would definitely go for these. I can replace nine busted or cracked HDX bins for the price of one...

For the price, the Home Depot XDX black and yellow bins are very hard to beat, they are tough, stackable and they nest (both horizontally and vertically) beautifully in the Ranger bed. I have a variety of them in the 17 gallon and smaller sizes. The bigger ones do not nest well. OTH they are...

FYI most of the rental trailers require a 2" ball. John Davies Spokane WA USA

What size is the shank? It is most likely 1”, this long one might work. eTrailer is a great source for odd sizes. Your owner’s manual should specify the size needed. What do you plan to tow? https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch-Ball/CURT/C40017.html John Davies Spokane WA USA

Wow, I LOVE those wheels, but they are a bit pricey for me. Did you order a set of five? My issue with exotic wheels is replacing one or more a few years from now, due to damage. Yours may be unobtanium then. Which is why I use an OEM takeoff wheel...

It would be better to find a light that fits than to hack away part of your grill shutter. Unless you plan to eliminate the shutter entirely. It is not a cheap part. Any light behind the grill could get pushed into the shutter and trash it in even a very minor front end collision. One mounted...

That is great, do you have a 90 degree side pic that shows the height better? I am pretty critical of photography, a few of your posted images on this thread are pretty distorted (fish eye effect), probably due to your camera, I assume your phone, they look a little amateurish. At least use an...

Hi, I like your design and the road test results sound very promising. I have a some questions. I assume your hardware requires regular tightening, is this correct? Does that include the main bottom bracket bolts that go down into the cab? I hope you use non-hardening seals that allow this...

A 2024 should have a really good price to be worth buying, well below sticker, it is already a “year old” truck and the resale value will be less because of that. If you plan to keep it more than a couple of years, that really shouldn’t matter too much. I buy “old” items all the time...

4A is set and forget, and most excellent for wet conditions other than snow or ice, where 4H is not. I think the lower trims are crippled and I never would have bought the Lariat I test drove… I have had full time 4wd or AWD vehicles for the last 25 years, they provide a significant margin of...

The load numbers isn’t the problem, it is climbing with a full load of your camping stuff up that endless mountain grade on a 100 degree day, with a stiff head wind thrown in. THIS is why you derate the allowed trailer load. Watch a few TFL Truck videos about the Eisenhower Grade and you will...

Because a WD hitch is an expensive, heavy, long term hassle that takes away from your already minimal payload, and it is debatable if it is truly needed for light weight trailers like a Micro Minnie; it does indeed add safety, but if you tow on unimproved forest roads, it is becomes a serious...

Be sure to weigh the axles and tongue when it is fully loaded with fluids and your personal stuff. It may appear to be satisfactory with a simple ball mount, but a good WD hitch like an Andersen will control that annoying jouncing on choppy highways, keeping your copilot happy, plus it will...

This is a great little jump starter and it pumps up tires pretty well too, (topping, not all four from 12 psi). It has a lithium iron phosphate battery and it is the one I bought to keep in my RR, almost 25% off too. These are becoming a little more common as the RV battery technology trickles...

DO NOT keep lithium ion battery devices in your car, especially in your glove box in Summer and ESPECIALLY in Florida, where your box gets toasty! They are a documented fire hazard (thermal runaway) and this is clearly described in most tool owner manuals, including your vac. “Store indoors and...
