Take one of your bolts that you would use in the nutserts, cut off the head and file into a point. Install this into the nutsert so the point is protruding, place your 2x4 where you want it positioned,push/tap on the 2x4 to leave a mark/dimple in the wood, then use that mark to accurately drill...

The Maxxair 7000 series has the built in thermostat that you can set the temperature to open/close automatically, so if you were out on a hike when it gets to the SET temperature it will open and fan run without your presence. Plus with the way the cover is designed the fan can still run and...

I think other than a lead foot wind is the single biggest factor with respect to fuel consumption, I have seen as much as 6mpg difference from driving into a headwind as opposed to a tailwind. That being said I tend to cruise about 63-68 on freeways and can usually get 18.6 the best I've ever...

I can only speak for the Ford transit passenger wagons all the rear passenger seats exept the single jump seat have quick release tabs to allow removal, but as mentioned are heavy, I used a cheap dolly to move them on my own. I personally really enjoy the full windows (tinted for privacy )...
