    Painting a Pelican Box????

    I think white would reduce the heat load on the Peli case quite a bit. It would almost certainly get scuffed and scraped, but acquiring a certain patina is part of having well used equipment. I have a Rimova suitcase that's gone around the world with me more times than I can count -- it's...

    Smittybuilt Element Ramps

    The 4wheelparts.com website description of the Smittybilt Element Ramp notes it is "manufactured of Nylon Reinforced Plastic & each ramp can support up to 7,700 lbs". What on earth are they talking about? Certainly not a bridging load. Maybe a static load on a supported surface? That seems...

    Warn Industries Supports Expedition Portal

    Thanks for the support, Warn. I'm interested in the M series and VR series differences -- I was planning an M8000 for my Tacoma, but this new line is possibly an option. Could you explain a bit about the value of contactor control v solenoids? And thanks for the strong commitment to US...

    lets see your hummingbird pics

    Here in the "east" (although a few miles west of the Mississippi), we have only one species of hummingbird, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris. The Rockies and westward have a number of species. Could you tell us which ones you've captured in your photos? TIA, Don

    winch boat onto roof rack?

    It's pretty common in Europe to put a roller at the back edge of a roof rack to facilitate loading and unloading of longer/heavier items. Something similar oughta work well for a small hull. Don

    parking lot find

    I think the hangy-down thing is the always-useful, front-mounted, rear-facing third brake light.

    Check your sportsmobile wiring!

    That looks like astoundingly poor craftsmanship. Horrifying. That's *got* to be anomalous for Sportsmobile West, yes? Can any other SMB owners report on their results from lifting the curtain?

    Camel Trophy 110 on Ebay

    This one has been listed on eBay several times before, and has been discussed here on ExPo, too. I guess nobody else values it quite as much as the current owners.

    Information on retrofitting H.I.D. headlamps

    Useful post, Antichrist. Thanks! I have the ACA HID headlamp conversion kit for my 2001 Tacoma, which is a DOT compliant system (as I understand it). They're not self leveling, which dates them technologically, but otherwise are designed around the HIDs, not a simple retrofit. Just shoving...

    Lucas Catalog -- Equipment for 1948-62 Cars

    This link came across the autox.team.net Triumphs list. Thought it might be useful for the folks running old iron here, too. Nothing *specifically* Land Rover, but there were only so many parts in the British motor industry bin, and they all shared a lot of stuff from the Prince of Darkness...

    Nifty Syncro gadget.

    There are products similar to this that work only in landscape mode. Does this one have a portrait display option? That would be more convenient for my iPhone in my Tacoma.

    eBay find: Scepter MFC Wrench!

    Nice looking tools. There's a similar tool for wire wheel knockoffs for British sportscars made from baltic birch plywood. I've put lids on things at altitude in Colorado that I haven't been able to take off 10,000 feet lower in Missouri. I had a polycarbonate box in my camp kitchen that I...

    Jasper engines

    I had a Jasper engine put in my 1988 XJ Cherokee about ten or twelve years and about 150,000 miles ago. I'd recommend Jasper in a second. Don

    1984 LC for $2,000 +/-? Should I buy it?

    That's a rhetorical question, isn't it, Doc? If it's rust free, and you buy it and don't want it after all, call me and it can come to MO! And you'll be more than whole. My company has a plant and offices in SD, so it'll be a business trip.
