    Inverters

    Those would be PERFECT for an RV application. AGM, so less risk of spillage, designed specifically for long term draw whereas starting batteries are designed for short term draw. Fairly compact (very long, but really skinny so they can be racked in groups), but holy crap are they expensive new...

    Inverters

    You couldnt pry my inverter generator out of my cold dead hands. I would take it over solar panels, battery banks and inverters any day of the week. Its small, its quiet, it sips the fuel, I can use it anywhere. Single point of failure. It breaks, I get a new one. No troubleshooting, no extra...

    Inverters

    what is your end goal? What do you want to power? Inverters are stupid power hungry and will suck a battery bank dry in a hurry. Here is some rough numbers for ya (I love numbers). 1000 watt inverter will require up to 83 amps of power at 12v at peak demand. 2000 watt inverter will require up...

    the coolest stuff you have bought for our caper/trailer/rv

    The ARB units claim just under 1 amp of power draw. Your typical automotive battery is good for about 40 to 80 amp hours depending on sizing. So, in theory, a fully charged 80 amp/hour battery should run the cooler for a little over 80 hours. BUT! You generally dont want to take a starting...

    the coolest stuff you have bought for our caper/trailer/rv

    We converted all of the interior lights to LED. Make sure you get the "warm white" not the bright white or cool white versions or else it looks like the Alien Autopsy videos. We also put the RBG ribbon LEDs on the underside of the awning. Sticks on with doublestick, and rolls up with the...

    ATV legal on county roads

    I think its a statewide thing now. Have to get an ATV shop to sign off on your street legal upgrades, and cant ride above 35mph roads and etc etc etc. Still not sure if the forest service bought off on it yet, which means running an atv on the FS roads might still be a no go.

    eastside quad riding areas?

    No good quad riding in eastern wa. its a dustbowl. Head to oregon. Its only a little farther, and way better riding. Heck, Sand Lake, even tho its pretty small, is only about 4 hours from tacoma. We've daytripped it in the past. If your dead set on eastern wa, there is a spot just a couple...

    Boats, & Hydrofoil attatchment

    My dad has one of those on hi 18ft open bow with a little 4.3 v-6, and it has no problems towing my fat ass out of the water on one ski with a couple big guys in the boat. I believe its called a Mercruiser High-Five prop.

    anyone with a SxS

    No direct experience with the 1000 yet. I was in the sand over thanksgiving, and it was all about the 900's. And yes, they are fast, and can handle the whoops roads pretty decent, but out of sheer size and weight, they just dont do it for me for the type of riding I like to do. and the...

    anyone with a SxS

    The RZRs are all over the place at the oregon sand dunes, and my experience is, they are kinda limited. But really depends on what you want to do. If your looking to go bomb around on the flats and some mild hills, with the wife at your side, and a cooler full of food, then they are great. If...

    orv tabs

    If you have an AZ drivers license, and AZ tabs, and your only here visiting, then you dont need WA tabs. If you plan on staying awhile however, the state is gonna want you to change your drivers license and tabs. My quad is titled in WA, but I only ride it in Oregon, so I buy Oregon ATV tags...

    Polaris 2-Stroke Help

    The reason your told to delete the oil pump, is on older quads, they were prone to fail. You ended up with pure gas, no oil, and you burned up your bearings in the crankcase from lack of lube. Deleting the pump, and using pre-mix solved it. Your oil pump shouldnt have any other function. There...

    Ruger 10/22

    The one I picked up the other day for 200 was a "carbine" model, which I understand the only difference is, its a couple inches shorter in the barrel. The more I look around, the more I think I should go back and get that other one that was for sale for 200.

    Ruger 10/22

    all this talk of 10/22's made me go out and find one today. Looked on gunbroker and they were in the mid 200's and up (plus transfer fees), so when I found one at a local pawnshop in good shape with a 25rnd mag for 199, I snagged it. They had another one there for the same price with a 30rnd mag...

    Carbon river/glacier hike.

    summit lake parking area was open all winter. You can see where they made the repairs to the road, as its a little scary in a full size truck in the snow!! Its wide enough, you just cant tell from all the snow. Its forest road 7810, and they still list it as open on the FS page.

    STP riders

    hmmmm, The STP obstacle course. That could be a new event! Riders attempt to make it from seattle to portland, while dodging angry homeowners throwing out spike strips in front of their houses!

    STP riders

    What is there to read? Per WA DOT website: A bicycle is a legal road vehicle, just like a car. When riding on a roadway, a cyclist has all the rights and responsibilities of a vehicle driver (RCW 46.61.755). Cyclists who violate traffic laws may be ticketed (RCW 46.61.750). Cyclists may ride...

    STP riders

    When Im walking, I hate cars. When Im driving, I hate pedestrians. But no matter my form of transportation, I always hate bikers. WA and OR bikers are some of the most militant, in your face, lawbreaking A-holes I have ever had the pleasure of sharing a road with. They pass on the right, they...

    Car/Truck Camping spots

    We've done the rimrock lake thing. Camped at the west right between rimrock and clear lake. Clear lake state park I think it was called? Was pretty much non patrolled, no camp host etc etc. From there we day tripped over to yakima and rafted the yakima river and hit up some of the wine tours...
