@moab_cj5 is that a purple powerstroke in your last pic?! Looks like Tinkys twin 😎

Thanks fellas! I’m looking at the Equalizer and there’s a few options for weight rating… think I should go with the 10k or 12k or other? I figure bigger is better in this case right 🤔 Looking at my receiver I can’t see any weight ratings on it anywhere and it’s pretty rusty. Poking...

Thanks haulinshine. I meant weight distribution hitch but said stabilizer for some reason haha. Any brand better than another? I see some have chains and others don’t not sure what’s better.. Truck is a manual so that’s nice for pulling and I do have a pyrometer with probe in the exhaust...

Oh man now I’ve done it! Found a 2006 Eclipse toy hauler in very very good shape. At 7200 lbs dry I really hope I’m not overloading Tinky 😳. She turned into a fire breathing monster with this ol’ girl behind her—the turbo was tearing it up lol! My max tow rating is 10k lbs so I think...

Opens door then slowly backs out. Can’t do it either sorry guys.

I dunno the C8 is the only Corvette that has really peaked my interest in the last—can’t count how many decades.. For me its about time GM! 😎

Thanks for the help everyone. I like the idea of the 12v/12v charger I never would have thought of that. Hmm might go that route I think it would be pretty sweet, Wonder how many watts I would need for my smallish deep cycle battery 🤔. I might have to do some math haha.

Thanks a bunch you guys! I like the idea of solar I just don’t think I have room for a panel—they’re probably a lot smaller these days though huh 🤔 Where the car sits for up to four days at a time I think I’ll go ahead and do the second battery as I already have the battery so that’s a plus...

Thanks Dave I appreciate the input. My buddy has some land in southern Idaho (So jealous—it’s sweet!) so the car would be parked for up to four days at a time—with me working twelves now I have the time for sure. Just wanting to keep it simple this year. Fuel prices etc are a joke so me...

Yeah I dunno the stock battery is super small on this car so a deep cycle in the rear might be the best option to keep that fridge happy on multi day trips. My worry is cranking the engine with a mostly dead house battery—don’t want to fry anything lol. But again I’m clueless. I know how to...

Subaru got a little love! Scored a Thule roof basket in the local classifieds. Do you think my factory crossbars will do the trick or should I go with the obviously stronger Yakima/Thule bars? Seems solid as is just wondering. Don’t plan on more than a few sleeping bags and camp chairs up...

The ol’ FE501s gets some new oil. I went ahead and bought the Motorex which has gold crystals in it for better lubrication…. Oye! Four drain plugs later 😣

Uh huh 🤔…. J/k

Wow that dude went for a ride! Nice work 😎

Sold! Thanks for the interest 😎

Oh help me spend some money lol! I’ve got my heart set on a steering damper. I’ve had Scott’s and GPR in the past and loved both. Any reason to choose one over the other? I’d go SUB mount and keep my stock triple clamps as I like my bars up higher—old age, slow, bad back you know how it...

That’s for the heads up on the Tusk Recon! I’m kinda sorta one of those guys that likes to get a season (I’ve only put a thousand miles on my bike since purchase) out of a tire. Am I dreaming with the Recon? For the price I think it’s worth a shot 🤔

You know my feelings on slot mags 😂 That said I think a set of shiny aluminum would be far better than the ‘always grey’ magnesium wheels. These would look sharp and give you a 17” which might open some doors for tire selection. Just a thought...

She definitely sits level now and I like it. I was worried about it squatting when I pull my camp trailer but I don’t think that’s gonna happen—it’s pretty light and I have airbags so we’re good I think. Next up is a mirror upgrade. My mirrors are broken and they suck…. Stay tuned!

Going to replace the u-bolts don’t worry. Just sitting in the driveway like this.
