    bunch of questions about e-bikes

    I started looking around at e bikes and a friend recommended Rad bikes as well. She said she and her husband had done a ton of research and decided on them so I’ll be purchasing a pair of the Rad Missions for my wife and me ASAP! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2015 Ram 1500 in Death Valley

    The only trails I'd recommend staying away from in the Ram are Echo Canyon / Funeral Range and maybe South Park Canyon. Other than that, with your off-road experience, you guys should be fine. Just do your research and plan ahead. Have fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    High-Lift mounts, OC CA $15

    Hi, I'm selling my 4XRAC high-lift mounts, as I changed how I carry my jack. They show a little wear from being on my roof for a couple years, but they function perfectly. $15 with local pick up in either Irvine or Huntington Beach, California, or I can ship them to you for an additional $10...

    Portable Generator Power Source for 12V Frig?

    Gotta agree with this one. I have an Edgestar fridge and if I'm driving daily, I don't need to worry about the battery maintaining it's charge overnight. If I park for a few days, a solar panel keeps the battery charged enough to not have to worry about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Thanks! It was a lot of work, but a really enjoyable build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    I simply used 1/2" plumbing pipe and flange from Lowes/HD. They're not adjustable but they just happened to come in (nearly) the perfect lengths that I needed. The length actually can be adjusted slightly by loosening/tightening the top and bottom flanges, but you'll only gain maybe an inch...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Here's mine. 2004 4Runner I got to take it out for 6 nights in Death Valley and realized it might have worked TOO well, since I found myself waiting around every morning while everybody packed up their stuff! Back, all closed up: The drawer has enough room for all my cooking supplies plus...

    great demonstration of cruiser ifs vs solid front axle:

    Yes. Each version of ATRAC is slightly different but mine doesn't like too much throttle and torque. I find it's easy to overpower ATRAC in low gear so I tend to climb in D to let the engine lug a bit to allow ATRAC to "catch up". I drive an 04 4Runner so things might be different with other...

    Devices to charge 12V deep cycle from cars 12V output?

    Not to thread jack, (ok, I am) but along these lines, could I create the world's simplest dual battery "system" while camping by simply setting a second battery (say, one that I've found laying around my warehouse) on the ground and leaving it hooked up to my starter battery via jumper cables? A...

    Show me your custom fridge slides

    Cool, Thanks. How close to your sketchup model did the final version turn out? Would you mind sharing that as well? I'd like to plug it into my own model to customize to my Edgestar and build the rest of my sleeping platform around.

    Show me your custom fridge slides

    This looks amazing and if you don't mind, I'm ripping off... Uh, replicating your design for my 4Runner next month. Well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stand alone solar setup for a pickup bed - Will it work?!

    I'm not an electrical professional but I've done enough research on my own to know that you seem to be asking too much of each component in your proposed system. To charge all those items, AND run lights, AND run a fridge, AND run a fan, you'll need a much larger battery, a higher capacity solar...

    Camp chair for packing into a suitcase?

    I second the "buy at discount store when you land and leave it afterward option." By far the cheapest and easiest route so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    motorcycle across front of M416

    Here's a photo of that setup in action: The trailer was full of dirtbikes and mini bikes as well. Once I had my airbags filled, it drove fine!

    motorcycle across front of M416

    How heavy is the trailer? I have Versahaul hitch-mounted rack that has a hitch of its own that I've pulled a trailer with several times. As long as the tongue weight isn't too high, this could be the answer you're looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are dual batteries necessary?

    Your experience might vary, but I had the XP-10 and the one time I needed it, it failed me. Granted, it was worst case scenario - I drive a V-8 4Runner and it was a 35 degree morning, but it didn't start my truck. Luckily, I was with several other vehicles on that trip. Like I said, it might...
