    screw log splitter on PTO

    :D I need to resurrect the old beast just for old time's sake. And no one has been injured that I know of. Although I was never allowed within 50 yards of the operation.

    NATO fuel cans part 2

    Just ordered two cans and spout - items must be back in stock EDIT: Was notified by email that spouts not in stock and will cost more when they arrive. Then was called and told my CC didn't transmit correctly. Starting to think this site might not be on the level.

    screw log splitter on PTO

    My thoughts exactly? Grandpa's runs off the belt of an old tractor without any guards or shields on either end.

    Long distance hikers

    Solo or group? The best way to lighten your pack is to have someone else carry all your stuff :D I don't like to be uncomfortable or hungry when I'm hiking or hunting so my gear reflects that if I am tired and hungry then I'm not going to get where I need to go or be able to hunt as hard as I...

    Toyo Open Country A/T 285R75 18 review?

    I think you'll be happy with those tires, they are surprisingly good in the snow even on a fullsize diesel pickup where the weight balance is notoriously bad. I bet you'll have fun trying to wear them out - as long as it is still fun to pay $5 for gas ;)

    Toyo Open Country A/T 285R75 18 review?

    I think we have that exact tire on our '06 F-350. It was one of the few tires available to replace the factory POS continentals. Anyway - had pretty good luck, tread life was about 38K, just bought new set last week and they gave us a smokin good deal on the new set at the Carson City Les...

    ideas for Backpack (REI, Arc'Teryx, Kelty, North Face)

    I picked up Lowe Alpine "Mountain Attack 40" from sierra trading post online a couple years ago and it has been a great pack for the money. It might not be the best one out there or really fit as well as some other brand but it only cost $35. I almost bought a baddass Mammut pack in CZ last...

    Really Good Binos

    I was in the Cabelas store in sydney a few weeks ago and took a look at all the brands and many models and was literally blown away by the value of the Cabelas "euro" glass. They are made in Czech by MeOpta and are very impressive for the price. I could not find any fault and the only other...

    Where to buy a Matco or Snap on

    I recently picked up a Proto roller cab 50" box at the local retailer for $475. It had a dent in the upper right side but was purely cosmetic. I lucked into this but I know for a fact that our Snap-On dealer will take in trades of other brands and will always have a repo or idea on which of...

    Auxiliary fuel tank on roof rack-need advise

    I'd just pull another trailer...or buy a diesel 3/4 pickup and pull all your other stuff on a trailer... Seriously though, Wedco jerry cans look to be your only legitimate option - www.expeditionexchange.com/wedco/ I think I saw your 80 on Hwy 50 in Dayton last year, is it tan with a CHKRHNTR...

    Backpacking Europe

    I recently picked up a Lowe Alpine pack from Sierra Trading Post online for $50 - you might try there. Vasque has always been my favorite brand of shoes both light and heavy hikers...I currently wear some North Face Gore-Tex trail runners that are pretty nice though, most new TNF stuff isn't...

    Skinny 35's?

    I'm running the Swamper size Q78-15 on my 40 series and they are surprisingly well mannered on the highway. I don't run a top and rarely see speeds over 55mph but there is way less noise and vibration than I was expecting. They do flat spot overnight and take a while to warm back up and return...

    Rotozip tools any good?

    I've got a couple air powered die grinders and a beast of an electric die grinder - I need to come up with some good way to cut against a fence and the carbide bits would make quick work of aluminum sheeting. Found a Bosch jigsaw that looks pretty good, gonna go that route. Thanks for the...

    Rotozip tools any good?

    Sounds like I'll just replace our ancient POS jigsaw with a quality one and go that route - I don't want to chance the RotoZip being crap - Thanks!

    Where do you buy your air tools? And which one is your fav?

    Northern Tool seems to be about the best in terms of price and stock on hand - eBay and pawn shops for high end brands My favorite tool is my IR Titanium 3/8 impact - most popular air tool in the shop by far. Second favorite is my neighbor's Snap-On air chisel, it will bust through anything...

    Rotozip tools any good?

    I've been looking at a Rotozip tool for some aluminum fab work I'm planning - anyone have experience with these tools on materials other than drywall. Kinda curious as to how well the metal cutting bits hold up on some fairly thick aluminum plate and thinner guage tubing and diamond plate...

    What guage wire for 100w driving lights?

    I use some Bosch relays from Waytek for my 100w highbeams, at 75amps they are way overkill but have lasted forever in other vehicles and tractors Waytek #75251 - Bosch #0332002150

    Another welding...

    Just practice, practice, practice and wear your welding leathers - you're in for a shower. I have had a hard time adjusting to welding overhead with my new MIG machine, still tempted every time to get out the old stick machine. I've yet to make a pretty weld but slightly higher heat to make up...

    Ary-made worklight....gauging interest

    Firebox lights are HEAVY!! We've got them on our VFD trucks and they are nice lights but not really a great worklight just because of the bulk. I would really be interested in something cordless, LED, lightweight with both magnetic and hanging mounting options. Smaller size with intense LED...
