there is no way that safety grab handle will keep the door closed. they are made to fold flat for travel. nothing more. there is NO locking device on them. ( enless you did it yourself). and if your door was to open while going down the rd, you have worse problems than a grab handle. the doors...

how big is the trailer? weight? length? how many axels? best to start with a 3/4 ton truck or van. go up from there. buy a truck rated to tow more weight than the trailer weighs in at FULLY loaded. 1/2 tons are just pu bodys on a car chassy. but biggest choice is gas or diesel, got fans for...

sad but filth breeds more filth.

i have only used email and had no problems.

go to a truck stop and look at whats for sale there. no need to buy there. but nomatter where you buy it get it tuned up. not turned up. people know how to tune them, you get a better trasmit, and recive. buy the better coxil cable. make sure your stick is tuned up to work and grounded correctly...

leave the slug gun at home. to bulky and would take way too much time to point it right. get a good relover in 44 mag. or if legal in your state buy a gun called " the judge". can chamber either a cartage or a shot load. not up on shotgun loadings. but say something with about two or four...

can not say for your rig. but in a jeep cj-7 i have i drop the psi down to 4 pounds ( 35 in tall 12-1/2 in wide mudder tires). anytime i am "off road". i avoid sand, it can stck you very easy. get some mild dirt rd style tread. drop down it to the teens to start and see how the tires "float". if...

i understand taking care of a aged parent. it can be "fun" at times. and as long as my mom is alive i am stuck in ca. 8 years till i can retire. and move out of state. but if she is still around i must/can never abandon her. her health prevents her from being on the rd today, in 8-9 years?

i hope so. at least on line in the videos looks like a great deal for a part timer, or one that does not use that much juice, or just wants to make sure there batt are toped off before sunset, less noise that sort of deals. but again in X number of years maybe obsolete. aka: something better on...
