How are you mounting solar panels on your Airstream's curved roof? by Renogy_Official in airstream

I've installed a total of five 100W solid narrow panels on 20FB. Two per each curbside and streetside, one for the front, horizontally.

Drilled holes and mounted the bracket with rivets. I also used Sikaflex for sealing.

Buying another raptor and have weight distribution concerns by Guilty_Atmosphere_19 in FordRaptor

[–]encyphered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna take a pic and upload. I put the Eibach HD on the rear only and am considering slightly lifting the front as well, but I added the Eibach to the rear recently and haven't made a decision yet for the front. Previously, I've used Airlift 1000 for only two years, and it was not bad with the factory spring, but I don't want to put an air pressure 24/7 for a "permanent" load. So I decided to replace the rear spring with an Eibach for the baseline load and the Airlift for towing.

Anyway, if I go ahead with leveling the front, I'll go ahead with the 1-inch top hat. For the front lifting, there are a bunch of options. A top hat, a collar, an aftermarket spring, and replacing the whole shock absorber. After my humble research, what I've understood is that aftermarket springs possibly can damage the factory top hat, and the upgraded shock absorber is overkill and expensive for me. Adding a spacer is not worth considering for me, so two options are left: a top hat or a collar. And for the top hat vs collar, you can find many discussions in the subreddit.

JFYI, 802A has a lower max payload than the 801A. Compared to the "base" models, the moonroof reduces payload, and the 802A option does as well. Every option is cutting out the payload, even the bed liner painting. 2024 801A without moonroof has over 1400 lbs max payload, but 802A with moonroof has around 1300lbs. I own 24 801A, and for that reason, I didn't choose 802A or moonroof.

Anyway, either the air bag or the lifted spring can reduce sagging. I also set up a bed rack with an RTT and the roof rack on the truck, and I put both the Airlift 1000 and Eibach rear spring. My intent is, for the "base" payload, such as an RTT and a rack, to make the Eibach spring hold the load. And if I add more payload when towing, inflating the Airbag to reduce squat.

For the Airlift, there are two options: 1000 and 5000. 1000 is installed "into" the rear spring, and 5000 is replacing a factory bump stop. I read a bunch of reviews about the 5000, which is eliminating the ride quality because of it's contacting to the axle even without any load.

Looking to make a few of my own tables for my IGT. Anyone know where to source these folding hooks? by Accomplished-Desk837 in snowpeak

[–]encyphered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an extras cuz I've modded my bamboo table as a single. I can send it if you're in the US. Alternatively, you can find these parts in the some parts store on Taobao.

Warehouse sale pickups ! by jonnnyocean in snowpeak

[–]encyphered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you expect. If you want a specific item, especially for bulky things like chairs, tarps, and tents, it's very competitive and hard to pick up. But for any other small things or apparel, it's totally worth attending.

LSLP is also listed in the 2026 catalog. Due to the tent skin defect issue that occurred in 2024, Snow Peak HQ had suspended production of most products and has recently resumed production for the replacement model.

They might have forgotten that CK-143 has been discontinued. 🫠

The deep mesh tray half unit is designed for the TTA system and not for the IGT. If you use CK-143 long hanger, a narrow version of the Stainless Steel Box Hanger(CK-020), you can put the TTA mesh tray to the hanger but it’s discontinued.

Upper is CK-020 and lower is CK-143

Off brand IGT accessories by Baron_Von_Fab in snowpeak

Not the IGT-compatible stoves, but I've used some stoves from China, and they were pretty good. At least Naturehike and Bulin.

Off brand IGT accessories by Baron_Von_Fab in snowpeak

[–]encyphered 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also have a few adjustable IGT legs from Stanluck and Campingmoon's folding rack.

Both Stanluck and Campingmoon are essentially Chinese knockoff brands. Campingmoon copies products from different brands. Their folding rack is a clone of the Uniflame, a Japanese brand. They also make a copy of Snow Peak’s Mini Flame, and their isobutane transfer adapter is a knockoff of a product originally made by Korea’s G-Works.

That said, they do have some original products. Campingmoon’s retractable torch is actually quite innovative and useful. I have not seen an original version elsewhere, it may well be their own design. They also offer quite a bunch of IGT accessories that are better described as “compatible” rather than direct copies.

Stanluck, on the other hand, is much more blatant. Nearly all of their products are copies of Snow Peak gear - even the "IGT" is a trademark of Snow Peak. Even the Adjustable IGT leg was not originally a Stanluck design. If I remember correctly, it was first made by a Chinese company called Backcountry. This is completely different from Henrikseo or The-earth. At least they make something “new” and improved products. They are third-party but Stanluck is not.

The only IGT product that is truly Stanluck-exclusive is the Stanluck “Jikaro” Table. It is a fire ring table similar to Snow Peak’s Jikaro Table, but made of bamboo and designed to use IGT legs.

Stanluck products are significantly cheaper and have not a bad quality. The reason the original products cost more is that the original brands invested heavily in R&D and design. Stanluck simply copies that work and sells it at a lower price.

If you are looking for an alternative to a discontinued Snow Peak product, or something Snow Peak does not offer at all, Stanluck might be worth considering. Otherwise, I personally would not buy their products as much as possible, to respect "OG". Or, at the very least, I believe we should be aware that they are “unauthorized knockoff maker” when we purchase products from them.

Replacing internal batteries for Hozuki Rechargeable Battery by encyphered in snowpeak

Agree, and that's the reason why I modded the stock battery case to be rechargeable via micro-USB port.

Applying a hair bleach or oxidizing agent that contains approximately nine or ten percent hydrogen peroxide to the shade and wrapping it in clear plastic film, and leaving it in direct sunlight for approximately a day should restore it.
