    Need advice on propane regulator

    I have a Little Red Campfire and it has an adjustable regulator. It seems I am always adjusting it to keep the fire constant. An adjustable regulator should take care of your issue.

    Power steering pump pulley nut

    I used a small pipe wrench on the back side of the pulley, where the pulley slides on the pump shaft. The wrench gripped the weld and held the pulley and I was able to removed the nut.

    Inexpensive Mini Refrig for the 4Runner ?

    I picked up an Alpicool C20 12v refrigerator about a year ago and it works great. It looks like is has been replaced by the C22 model.

    Harbor Freight Roof rack

    I bought one and set it up for my 2nd gen 4R. I can fit a fuel can, water jug and cooler on it. Good quality and value for the price. Easy to remove and install to the factory rack.

    All Trails App

    +1 on GAIA. I have been using it for 3 years and as long as you have the area downloaded it works great when you don’t have cell service. I have it loaded on 2 IPhones and 2 IPads. When you use one device to record a trip it syncs with the others. Very easy to use.

Great red rock formations (Little Finland), sink hole (Devils Throat), slot canyon and petroglyphs (Keyhole Canyon) and lots of old mine sites. The roads...
