I had a Delorme LT-20 basically given to me. I was thinking I could use it on my laptop and use that as a GPS (I have a bunch of MapsPro maps downloaded on it). I do not have any software for the antenna though and it seems like the laptop won't find it. Any ideas?

I had to swap out the cover on my Mombasa rooftop tent due to the zipper on it getting cranky after several years of (ab)use. Plus, the cover was getting pretty nasty-looking after 8 camping seasons and only getting a mild soap and water wash on occasion. I consulted a friend on mine who makes...

A friend needed a battery for his truck. I thought I had the easy answer: "A Sears Diehard Platinum! They are rebadged Odysseys for $100 less!" A bit later he told me Sears said they quit selling them about a year ago. What would be a good alternative?

Ok. I guess I should be happy to think of fixing our Camp Chef before we are out camping. Its a few years old and no problems with it except it seems like the burners are either off or full on. I wrote Camp Chef but haven't heard back. I have had it apart before for cleaning and such o...

As the title says. I think I may take on the task with help from SilverBullet to maybe put a 2016 calendar together. I didn't even think of it until last week. Like last year, it will be on a short time frame if it happens. Just looking to see how many would be interested in it.

As the title says. We are headed to the Northshores of MN and MI's UP for a week in a bit. I received a nice discount on a lens rental. I recently picked up a Canon 70D to replace a T2i. For glass I have now: Canon 50MM 1.8, Tokina 11-16MM 2.8, Sigma 18-200MM 3.5 and a Rokinon 8MM Fisheye 3.5. I...

I had to stop at Wallyworld this morning when I got out of work to pick up a few things. I always like to take a trip down the plastic bin aisle to see if there is anything new. There was today! They had these weather tight bins made by Ziploc. The ones that were in the store were black. They...

I have a couple jobs coming up where I needed something better in low light than my T2i. I was going to go for the 6D but I just can't justify going fullsize yet. Seems to be a good move so far. The only thing that really sucks is having to upgrade to Lightroom 6. The camera is newer than...

OK. So I picked up a couple of these http://www.online-led-store.com/off-road-atv-jeep-light-bar-p/orzledwkl0271-sx.htm with hopes of mounting them on the back of my Tacoma to have for camping at night (or for set up).. I have a bedrack with my RTT mounted on it. I originally had hopes of...

My wife, son and I recently had a chance to go visit my sister and her family in Eppstein, Gemany for a couple weeks. I was to Sweden a few years ago to participate on a Swedish reality show so it wasn't my first trip to Europe but still a lot of fun! While there we visited Nuremberg...

OK, well, a question for a friend. He has a '95 4Runner with an auto trans, no ABS and a 3.0. His rear end went out and isn't sure what R&P gearset he has. Anyone have any idea what they could be? I know there are probably a couple different ones it could be.

We were on our way home from Michigan's UP this afternoon. We were leaving our lunch stop in St. Ignace @ 1PM. We were waiting to pull out onto US 2 then to I 75 and head south over Big Mac bridge. A green Jeep went by (he was just in front of us over the bridge), It had New York plates and a...

I found this story while looking at another someone here linked to about Mount Everest. I figure it has to be some of you ExPo TLC guys doing this in this pic! http://altereddimensions.net/2013/sidewall-skiing-saudi-arabian-youth-drive-on-two-wheels

I will start off by telling you I am a newb at the DSLRs. I bought a Canon T2i back in July after several brands of those little point-and-shoots and love it. It came with the 18-55 lense. I borrowed a 55-250 IS and ended up with one of those. I recently bought the 50 that is fun to play with. I...

I ran across this in one of my offroad mags. Mastercraft tends to make pretty d3ecent stuff from what I have heard. I may have to pick a couple different bags up. They look useful. I think I saw someone looking for them on here a while back somewhere too...

I have a Mombasa RTT that is on it's 3rd year of use. It has seen its share of thunderstorms and has always fared pretty well. I noticed this year though that there has been a few drips inside here and there. Nothing horrible but it is still happening. I got a gallon of waterproofing used on...

If you own a Toyota and want a small bin for storing things in the cab under a seat, these fit perfectly under the seats of my '04 Doublecab. Can't beat them for <$4 at Ikea. Hope it helps someone . . . . http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80100029/

I wondered if anyone has tried putting an insulation material/barrier (kinda like Dynamat) on the boards/base of their RTT? I saw some on Northern Tool's website and wondered if it would help any or maybe just make it hotter in the summer. Here is the stuff I found. I know there are a lot of...

Well I have to do a little work in the garage and it isn't very big to begin with. I have some stuff I need to clear out. !st. Gen. Tacoma K&N FIPK - Everything is there. I got it in a swap and haven't used it. I did clean and oil the filter with hopes of giving it a try but never got around to...

Well seeing that my mom's neighbor's ultra-clean FZJ-80 was traded-in and sold in a matter of hours (my bad for not letting the owners know I was in love with it, '97 with 69k on it, $12k). I think I am in need of more room than my '04 Taco Doublecab is giving me now that there is a...
