    Portable wind power!

    I guess I should clarify a few things: Your points are well taken and I agree, for more steady higher output power, I would use solar, or a genny after reading your explanations. My thoughts behind this kit though, is something that I can throw on my pack, with relatively low weight, and hike it...

    Portable wind power!

    http://windpax.com/products/the-breeze/ Just went ahead and pre-ordered 2 of these puppies. I was thinking of doing a more solar based power setup until I found this web site. With the weight of this unit, coupled with the fact that I live in a not-so-sunshiny area (Northwest Washington), this...

    Pelican cases: Chuck your old laptop bag in the trash!

    So Like some people, I usually bring my laptop with me on any trip I go on. If I need to dump files from my camera, it sure comes in handy. Coupled with a battery pack and my solar panels, it makes for a fun night time editing session when the rest of the camp has gone to bed. If you are like...

    Exactly what I needed to hear! :D Thank you, everyone! On the island there is nothing too advanced that would be too difficult to conquer. But I will take a look into the Dana! Oh, quick question if you wouldn't mind answering! I'm looking into rooftop tents, and there are two main ones on the...

    International Scout 1964 80/800

The specs are 4.4L V8, with a 3 speed manual transmission and 154 hp. The car looks like a tank, and I have always been interested in getting an old...

    What's your dream rig?

    Ooooo the 94' trophy Tundra. I do believe that would be considered a classic now :) what a sweet ride though. @scottc - Haha if only I had the money. I feel like I'd have a little too much fun with one of those. The sticker price should come with 5 free waived speeding ticket vouchers :P

    New 2016 Titan Released

    That's exactly what I was thinking. The roof and cab look like a Dodge, while the grill IMO looks like a Ford grill. It's strange because Nissan's car division has a very unique styling. Those awful headlights though, Could they be any bigger?

    Upgrades Upgrades!!

    Ready to put a wide ratio five speed, new crank and new 13.5:1 390 big bore. Well the 390 isn't that new, just a refresh. With a remap of the FI I should be up around 50 - 54 HP I think, but I'm really looking for more torque not HP, not sure I'm even going to like it but it'll be fun to build...
