The comparison between your fuel usage and your neighbor sounds like a math problem :) Diesel has just under 140k BTUs per gallon. Liquid Propane has just over 90k BTUs per gallon If both houses are using the same amount of electricity, their house will burn 3 gallons of fuel to every 2 of...

Painting is unlikely to do anything to hurt it (as long as you don't paint the inside) but if the old one was unpainted then the new one likely doesn't really need painted either.

You could try a hammer and a cold chisel that's sharp to at least get enough cleared away from where you are spraying. Also, make sure you use a box end wrench or socket to try to turn the nut, a pipe wrench or crescent wrench can damage it. (if you can find one that has the right pitch on...

I put tire assemblies in the back of my truck on several occasions using lawnmower type ramps. They roll up with only a little effort and down with no effort at all (except the running 50 yards to make them stop) As I'll be using this as an active work truck, the rhino carrier would be in the...

Are you talking about mounting if hanging off the side of the vehicle, or instead on top of the fender or something like that? Off the side might interfere with your already limited rearview capabilities (depending on model) and more likely to catch on stuff if you go off road. My thoughts on...

running voltage is just over 28VDC (28-28.8VDC) Each battery will be at about 14-14.4VDV when vehicle is running if the charging system is functioning properly. At rest they'll be somewhere around 12.6V or higher. Below that is a drained or dead battery. Depending on the style of...

They do seem to be more reliable. One of the GB150s I have was purchased just as they were originally coming out on the market several years ago. Used it dozens of times and still works great. Even ran my mothers car on it for a 20 minute drive after her alternator failed, and I've used it to...

I just went with 2 large lithium 12V jump starters. I can wire one to each battery, and they are a heck of a lot lighter together than the 40 lbs of the JNC1224. (NO.CO GB150s. On Black Friday they had them for $170ish, normally $350ish.) I've had issues with the lead acid battery packs in...

Yeah, I am rethinking having a tire up there. I'll probably bolt it to the wall inside the BEOD (when I finally get around to acquiring a spare), and maybe actually find a camouflage net set to put up there (eventually). This whole thing is now making me rethink getting a rear airlift bumper as...

You might be surprised at the difference in cost between getting a smaller or larger generator installed. Electricians rates tend to be rather exorbitant. You might find it is actually cheaper to get a 20 or 22kw air cooled Generac with whole house transfer installed rather than getting a...

So to start with, are you trying to power your entire home, or do you only need to power certain things? Do you have electric appliances, gas appliances, or a mix of both? What is your primary source of heat? Are you planning on air conditioning in the summer? Is this strictly for the bare...

I found this pic as well. So now I'm going to have to get the roof top rack on there as a spot to store my spare tire, and now I know how to tie down the antenna as well.

Looks like I need to get the airlift bumper if I want to be able to use the steps up and stand on the roof. or just a short ladder.

Nice to know it's not just me going insane (or at least not in this instance)

Since I have you here, I was told there was some type of bracket on the inside of the windshield frame that the roof top rack bolted to. Do you remember what it looked like? Was it just a flat piece of steel, or was it maybe some type of angled piece that went over the top of the frame and...

95% certain they are supposed to fill in where the rear passenger seats go, but they just don't fit the space properly in my truck, the seat base seems to be in the way as well as some type of power plug behind the battery box. I don't plan to put them in at this time, as I'm keeping my tire...

Kind of glad you didn't then. First 2 went for halfway decent prices, the next 3 went for more. I got the last of the 5 auctioned and paid the 2nd highest price of the 5. I'm not sure how many of them had the doors and stuff, but glancing through the pics all 5 had a bunch of stuff piled in...

If you get a chance can you PM me some pics of the antenna and anything else? Thanks

I very well might, I'm in the process of getting my Ham license (just got back from class actually) so I'm very interested if the price is right.

You aren't supposed to link to live auctions or sales on ebay to my understanding.
