I do not leave anything of value in my fishhouse, I take everything with me. With that being said, I'm looking for something to carry and protect my LCD tv. Havnt had any real luck finding anything that's under $350.

I've been cramming mine in a pillow case with a thinner pillow in there. I have been trying to get my mom to sew me up a zip up case, similar to a gun case. Hopefully she's gotten the hint and I'll be getting it for Xmas.

Get a suitcase the right size, fill a heavy duty trash bag with can foam insulation then lay the TV in to mold to the foam. Go to a fabric store and get a piece of foam rubber to cover the face and you're in business. I've seen this done for cameras.

this was the first thing i did when i purchased my lcd.

i made a wooden case with sone 2x3s and 2x4s and some plywood. lined it with the self stick foam strips used for weather stripping. put some hinges and a latch onit and wolla instant tv carrier. it also has some storage for the cords. it dont look the prettiest but very functual. all were stuff i had laying around the garage. i would figger you have some matierals left over from your build to do what you need to do. ... paul

I use a Sams Club insulated bag you buy for frozen foods. It has a large zipper on top and I just slide the TV in with all the cords. Cost is about 24 dollars I think. It is fairly large so you could put a few other things in it.

Any of you guys run into any problems with your LCD's in the cold? I just got my 21" mounted up in the house. It was actually in the box in the fish house the week of the sub zero temps before I got around to looking at it. Once I warmed the house up and tv - it turned on just fine. Some folks have told me that an LCD in a fish house will never work.

I don't see a problem as long as you warm it up first. I also don't plan on keeping it in the house when I'm not there for security reasons.

Thanks for your input.

liquid crystal display

I think they're fired by electrical current. When the liquid gets really cold it just operates slower and slower. It may be too slow to respond, but after a while it'll get warmed up in the house and it should operate. The only thing, that may be a concern is just condensation collecting in places where you don't want it to. Something like operating laptops in the cold.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
