Hey gang, What's your take on pop up tent trailers?
Wife and I are DONE with tent camping, I am never sleeping on the ground again.
Thinking of going the tent trailer route, want an older one so taking it "off the grid" and dragging it to remote places won't bother me much if it gets a bit...
Hey you savvy GMC guru's need some advice:
My 2015 GMC Sierra Z71 1500 has garbage headlights. It's a known issue, naturally GM has their head in their ass, no recalls etc.
I know its 8 years old but if you guys have any suggestions for an aftermarket upgrade? ..Morimoto has had good reviews but...
Lightfoot was born in Orillia, Ontario Canada on November 17th, 1938
You younger crew may not know his music but back in the 1970's he was quite a song writer and singer. While he would not be my choice to "crank it up? while hanging out at the channel or at the sandbar, his "chill" music was...
Hey Gang, lots of chatter lately about used cars/trucks etc- What's the verdict on using CarGuru or other types of "used" vehicle services?
Yes- totally understand "Buyer Beware" but it just seems everyone is sleezy these days including dealers and private parties, search for a used GMC and...
Can't stress safety enough- Another family destroyed because of a life vest.
Sad story that possibly could have been prevented....

Anyone ever have an issue with water getting in the boat- from the bow area?
I see only 3 ways water can get in:
1- The rub rail
2- The tow eye
3- The two lights that are on the side of the hull
- No, the hull is fine, no cracks etc. This has nothing to do with getting in and out of the boat...
I belong to a "gold prospectors" club in Cali and Idaho. Just saw this post. I do not know this couple, but I am sure some of our RD folks from Laughlin/ Bullhead area may have known them. Don't have any additional info but what's posted here. Very sad to say the least.
Hi Guys, Older Merc Blk Max, 150hp. I have a new lower unit and it came with the spot for two anodes (one on each side) My old lower did NOT have this.
My question is: Are these necessary if I do not run in salt water and I do not leave the boat in fresh water overnight. Do they make an after...
Did a quick search, didn't see any updates (although it is Monday morning- I may be jumping the gun here) I know we had some fellow RDP folks racing, just wondering how it went. Hope everyone played safe. From Boise- (about 150 miles) looks like it should have been good weather.
Racing is...
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a re-post but it looks like a cool event to go and see the new equipment to keep everyone safe.
Would love to see the new water pumper in action, bet that sucker could clear a spot in the channel in a heartbeat.
So I posted earlier that the channel was full at 7:30 am this morning- other peeps chimed in (and a video as proof) that it was in fact crowded.
So, for you locals that walk the channel "the day after' ...do you bring a metal detector and scoop up jewelry and money? I always enjoyed the guy...
Though I would post my up-and-coming saga regarding my lower unit, maybe other RD folks might find it interesting and helpful.
To start, I am not a mechanic, i don't live anywhere near Lake Havasu, I am in Boise, Idaho. I am not rich and have limited funds/budget for boating. I know the...
So, I am getting a new lower for my old 1992 150 Merc Blk Max 2 stroke.
Wondering if there is a market for the NON-WORKING lower. It was NOT damaged, the case is in perfect condition. Reason for the new one is I lost the two bearings (Gears were fine) and its cheaper to get the new one from...
1992 Merc 150 Blk Max, 2 stroke
I am replacing the lower unit, bearings went out. I want to cap/plug the speedo water pick-up that's located in the front section of the lower unit
If this is capped, (not just disconnected and left open) will it increase the water stream from the impeller or is...
So my old Chevy Silverado is leaking antifreeze, I think its the water pump, maybe the lower radiator hose, can't complain, the motor has 280k miles, so I go purchase the pump and hose.
I call around to some local shops and ask how much to install the new parts- keeping in mind, I am supplying...
