nklr--cheap lightweight campstove

[jeepaviation]

Want really really cheap? Soup can 1/2 full of sand. Punch holes a bit above 1/2 way up. Soak the sand with fuel of your choice, coleman or diesel are good. Light and heat. After many years I finally purchased a jetboil and am very happy with its performance and compactness.

Thanks. My go to stove has been the MSR Pocket Rocket (the one in the small red triangular plastic case). It weighs 12 oz. with a full 4 oz. isopro cannister. They say it boils 2 liters of water per 1 oz. of fuel used. It has decent flame control, it's worked well for me on shorter trips and it's damn small. But, the cat food can/alcohol stoves are cool ! > > Bill > > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com , "roncriswell@" wrote: > > > > I drink the alcohol and go find a restaurant.

[scott.quilliam]

I want to upgrade my spring on my rear suspension. I am 6'5" and I am also putting rising links and riser bars on. Any ideas on what that spring is for a 2004? Kootenay rider Scott

Attachments : Scott,     I put a Progressive 500/560 spring in the rear of my '04, I also had to put bigger (again Progressive) springs in the front too. I'm 6'2" and 220lbs, 240+ with all my gear. It made a huge difference for my '04. BTW I picked these up from Arrowhead Motorsports. Darren Clark http://www.flickr.com/photos/84373829@N00/ 2004 KLR-650 Fowlerville, MI scott.quilliam wrote:
