If cost is not a major concern, the Clearview Easy Slide works perfectly for this situation. With a regular slide and the fridge on top of the drawers there was no way my wife could reach in, let alone see what was there, but the Easy Slide drops the entire fridge down to tailgate height with...
I do have actuators in all 4 corners. They are IP65. I got them from here: https://www.windynation.com/linear-actuators
I originally thought I’d set it up to run from 2 switches (front and back), but they don’t run at quite the exact speed, so I ended up just doing one switch for each actuator...
I did hydraulic lift struts inside the vertical posts, and they worked ok, but it was kind of a pain and it was really hard to prevent binding. I ended up going to linear actuators and heim joints to mount the top rack and it’s so much easier and smoother now. Should have done it that way from...
There is always the porta bote. It’s a little different experience than some boats, but they fold easily and fit on your roof rack without much trouble. After having used both, I would much prefer the porta bote over a canoe or inflatable. Lots more space than a canoe or average size raft as...
Got mine done here: FIE Magnetos, Mechanical Fuel Injection & EFI, Fuel Injection Enterprises - http://www.fuelinjectionent.com/. They are local to me, but you can mail them in as well. Took about a week to get them done. I had similar results to TYM4FUN other than I had 2 that were about like...
Agreed. I just had mine out during a head gasket job and there was some evidence of gas around them and they were loose in the holes and the rubber gaskets were hard and dried out. I had them serviced and they got them all back to factory spec. New rubber seals and everything is clean and dry.
I've never seen posted limits, but I've had a CVT Denali tent on it on my 80 that weighs close to 200 pounds, and have slept 4 in it (myself, wife and 2 kids). That probably totaled 750-800 pounds static, although since the tent opens out, the ladders do support maybe 100-150 pounds of that...
I’m hoping too. I wanted a VL60 dual zone with the cover and went to order it on the Saturday before the deal ended and they were out of stock. I tried contacting Lu at both numbers, but he never responded, so I’m hoping that when they are back in he will still honor the pricing we had. I know...
