    tire advice needed

    If you are changing the tires on the ground because they are old, just remember the spare is just as old even though it has not been on the ground (have you checked the air in your spare). The spare may be considered "just the get home tire", but consider that you may be in the middle of the...

    tire advice needed

    Carlisle tires seem to have more to them than comparable other brands. Compare the specs. I have had good luck with them on my utility trailer, and Carlisle came stock on my EZLoader trailer. My 5th wheel camper came with GoodYear Marathon tire. So far they are working okay. What ever you...

    Raising trailer tongue higher than standard jack

    I had a similar problem with a boat I had many years ago. I found the solution when the tongue broke. Come to find out, the boat was too far forward on the trailer. I moved the boat back about a foot on the trailer, and that solved a whole bunch of problems. Tongue weight was better, bumper...

    bow thrusters

    Here is the company URL for Sideshift http://www.sideshift.com/. I like the idea of their retrofit bow thruster bolting to the rake of the bow rather that being on the bottom.

    police at my house

    The cops won't show up for property crimes? That sounds like a law suite waiting to happen.

    My Stupid BlackBerry and Advice Sought on Android Phones!

    People I know who have iPhones love them, even though they cannot use them half the time because of the lousy AT&T coverage. If that rumor is true about Verizon selling iPhones soon, why not buy a used/refurbished cell phone in the interim. Just Google "used cell phones" and you will find lots...
