  1. Anybody put a set of air bags on their truck? Truck cap, kayaks on top, cooler, generator, fuel and other shit in the bed of the truck and a 1K lb tongue weight trailer has the ass of my Ram sitting down a bit. Co-worker recommends Air Lift, any other recommendations?
  2. Not since he was clinging to the tailcoat of Adam Carolla on the Man Show
  3. Used truck prices are stupid right not. Did a quick look on my daughter's (nopics) 2012 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4. My wife worked for GST at the time and could order vehicles below dealer cost. MSRP was $32,463, Dealer cost was $30,211 and our cost was $28745 + TTL. It's in great shape, she only has 55K miles on it and KBB is showing $26.9K as trade in. That's crazy.
  4. That sucks. I never have paid too much attention to the issue of low water dams but for some reason I clicked on this video yesterday and it really demonstrates the problems. The second video is a special boat designed to help rescues at low water dams
  5. And a permethrin wash on your socks and long pants will take care of ticks.
  6. Messed that up. Switch current rating > max speaker current.
  7. You want a single pole, double throw switch. Either a two position so it would select either function or a 3 position that the center would be off. Make sure the current rating is less than that of the sound bar. https://www.miwv.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/what-is-an-spdt-switch.jpg
  8. Yeah with a 12V TM, I would just wired directly to the battery.
  9. There is a ton of stuff online for reference on wiring a boat. Are you going to shit can everything on the boat and start from scratch? How big of an engine and are the gauges specific to the outboard? Do you need/want a new switch panel on the console? For a Tracker I would expect you would have 1 battery for engine and starting and 1 or two batteries for the trolling motor. The diagram below is pretty typical for a single start and a separate house battery. With the switch, you can use the house battery to start the boat if the start battery dies. This is pretty much how my boat is set up except I have an additional charging circuit to charge the house battery from the engine. If your engine doesn’t have a separate circuit you can add an automatic charging relay that energizes when the first battery is charged and allows the house battery to be charged. It would be a little different if you are adding a trolling motor batteries to the system. I generally put trolling batteries on their own circuit but you can use an ACR to charge them too. Post up more details of what you want to do and we can guide you pretty well.
  10. Can you upload it from the ipad to dropbox, google drive, etc and then back down to the PC? I do this all the time for videos and pictures off my phone or ipad.
  11. I'll bet NowThis knew what a thick log in his lower colon felt like.
  12. It’s like the No 2 topic RVer’s talk about.
  13. Home Depot has 21’ lifts that are less than 36” wide. Need to protect your floors for sure but you should be able to get one through the front door.
  14. We've had better luck in cleaning the black tank after driving around a while. We have a dump at our storage facility and when we have boondocked we come back and dump there. Seems like it gets stirred up and everthing cleans out well compared to leaving a state park and drive 100 yards to the section dump station. Last state park trip we drove around the place looking at other sites for a bit before we went to dump. A lot of forums and groups have posts about people prepping their tanks with dawn dishwashing soap and calgon liquid water softener. I'm sure you can google to find info on exactly what others are using.
  15. That's a pretty awesome video. Were you in a boat or kayak?
  16. Assuming Mark, he uses D'Addario Chrome flatwound 12s, throws away the big fat E, moves everything up and puts a 10 on the first string.
  17. Just a practical joke to mess with someone. "You gotta be a platinum member and sign up early to get one of the sites with hook-ups"
  18. This is pretty awesome if you are boondocking at places with a lot of other campers around.
  19. Kinda wanna see a lightning made hole in the road.
  20. Looks good, that will probably be there longer than the house. I would probably just sister a 2x2 or 2x4 along side the joist where the deck plywood hits short but if it bothers you just cut the deck. I assume that the deck isn't more than 16' long so you would have to make a cut anyway.
