As a retired law enforcement officer (LAPD) I like this revolver from Taurus called "The Judge". Watch the video, you will see this is an excellent defensive weapon. You can use a combo of 410 shot gun shells and 45 cal rounds in the same cylinder, load the cylinder with 2-#00 buck 410 shells...

Northern Tool carries the RDS tank and transfer kit. RDS is less expensive than American tank. I have the tank #72744 and transfer kit # 011029 on my 06 Silverado Duramax...

Photo of refrig fuses and cooling fans

Your refrigerator is mounted in the kitchen slide, these models should have cooling fans mounted between the lower and upper outside air vents behind the refrig. Make sure the fans activate when temps reach the 90's. The fans are thermostat controlled. If the fans fail to turn on during hot...

Jim B. Does your tow vehicle say F-O-R-D on it anywhere, that could be your problem............go Duramax Rah-Rah-Rah!!!!!! Your Nevada buddy is back in action. Forrest

HR 218 does allow active and retired LEO to carry nationwide without restrictions in all States, however, when I applied in Clark County Nevada (Las Vegas area) as a resident I was required to annually fire 30 rounds @ 5,7,15 yards and achieve a passing score in addition to a letter from the...

Just got a email from Jim Beletti, Jim and Nancy are available April 15-18 so let's use that date to get started.........................Who would like to attend? Forrest

I have been asked to schedule another Nevada Chapter Heartland Rally in Las Vegas. Arthur and Cindy Lamontagne have offered to assist with the planning. Johnny Walker RV of Las Vegas expressed interest in sponsoring the event at the Oasis RV Resort in Las Vegas. The preliminary dates suggested...

I've used the Brake Smart controller since 06, it is far superior than most other brands. The Max Brake mentioned in a post by dieselengineer works the same as Brake Smart by using brake fluid pressure to sense braking needs. The Brake Smart was over $400 when I bought mine, the Max Brake sells...

These photos were posted earlier by Smokey......... I had the same problem with the toilet valve not holding water. I rotated the inner black seal 90 deq to have a new wear surface between the flush valve and inner seal. Make sure the top of the flush valve and inner seal are clean and free of...

Those fine folks residing in Nevada pulling trailers in excess of 10,000 lbs must have a "J" endorsement added to their class "C" license. As of July 1, 2009 both a 20 question written test and a drive skill test are required. No big deal only 6 1/2 hours over two days so far to register TV...

Tire sidewall marking always takes presidence over placards on vehicles. Placards in many cases have wrong information. Forrest

Heartland products as so bullet proof not even a blown tire will cause any visible damage.............right????? :eek: I would not advise regrooved tires, by the time they wear down for regrooving they are most likely ready to explode. The photos are not regrooved tires............14000...

I added 3/8'' thick aluminum backer plate under the bed for additional support with six-3/8" bolts through bed as depicted in photo. Boom weighs less than 40 lbs and is much easier to handle than dragging the hitch scratching up the bed or disassemble the hitch. Forrest

Alan, You are correct on the heat build-up, I use high pressure fuel injection hose to connect compressor to manifold @ $6.00 per/foot. The cheap-o plastic hoses will become hard and blow from the heat buildup. This set-up only runs for a very short period and has a auto shut-off. The original...
