One of the weakest points and an area prone to failure in the Colt Single Action Army and its accurate clones is the handspring. The hand is the part connected to the hammer that when the hammer is cocked, it extends through a window in the frame and rotates the cylinder for the next round
Recently I decided to add a Rooftop Tent to my truck for far offroad “Overlanding” adventures. Not wanting to mess with coolers and ice I built a “Portable Generator” to power a small portable refrigerator freezer. Lots of choices out there for a good quality refrigerator.

I recently purchased a Smittybilt rooftop tent to go on top of my camper shell on my 2018 Ram 2500 Now I had to figure out a way to get it up there! The RTT weighs about 125 pounds…. I wanted to mount it “North-South” so when deployed I had some cover over the tailgate.
A few years ago I added three 140 watt solar panels to the roof of my Forest River 19RR Toy Hauler These panels are controlled by a Bogart Engineering Charge Controller and monitored via a Bogart Engineering TriMetric Solar Monitor. For storage I’m using two Group 31, 110 amp, AGM batteries that sit in a
A few months ago I bought a Smittybilt Rooftop Tent (RTT) to be used on my RAM 2500 4WD pickup truck. The plan was to mount it on top of the hard campershell. I fabricated a couple rails to easily load and unload the tent onto the truck. This worked out great to load and
