We had our annual Fall Camp & Ride this past weekend. It was the shake-down trip for the latest version of my sleeping platform. We rode a "more difficult" section of trail at Beasley Knob OHV Park, and after that everything in the back was a little loose. I discovered that the single strap...
UPDATE:
We just had an afternoon shower that lasted about an hour. The rainfall was moderate to heavy with gusty winds; my LC was in the driveway without any type of cover. The panels stayed on, and there were only a couple of small drops of water inside each window. (I think those drops hit...
I made screened, louvered, air vents to use when sleeping in El Guapo in warmer (and potentially wet) weather.
Right before I went camping/riding last weekend, I saw a YouTube video where a guy made something similar for his van. I had already made window screens, but I had to use a tarp...
This trip came together pretty quick, so I posted it on the Crazie Eights Facebook page (Log into Facebook | Facebook), but I had a brain fart and totally forgot about posting it here.
Will do; I/we like company!
I don't know exactly. Mudder Musthave can probably tell you down to the 1/10 of a mile. He has one of those fancy tracking/mapping apps. I'm the old-school guy who mostly uses paper maps. We only went a little west of Blairsville, and that wasn't on the...
1st Annual(?) Crazie Eights Summer Camp/Ride. The plan was to start at an easternmost point on the Georgia Traverse and go as far west as we could in three days. That plan went out the window about 30 minutes into the ride when we came to a huge tree across the forest service road. After...
I did some measuring and discovered that my Wyeth-Scott More Power Puller box is the same height as the rear tire hump. So, I'm using it now in place of my PVC pipe frame to support my large containers (which aren't that heavy):
Then, I narrowed the width of the frame, and added longer legs...
I couldn't wait until the weekend; I fixed my PIAA 520 yellow ion driving lights this afternoon.
My relay switch started going bad on me at least a year ago. Sometimes the lights would turn on as soon as I pressed the button. Sometimes they would come on after a few minutes. Sometimes I...
Did you have to cut the end of the frame, like with a 4x4 Labs bumper? Did you design/sketch it, or just do it free-hand? More photos of the bumper, please! :D
