    Hitler is not happy with the Nikon D7000 shipment schedule.

    Okay, a bit late to the party, because I'm still waiting for a full-frame camera with HD (1080P) camera, but those specs are impressive. Several features are usually reserved for the pro-level cameras: 1. 6fps; that's almost as fast as the D300s 2. Viewfinder with 100% coverage. Most...

    ARB 4x4 LED Adventure Light

    LEDs have a narrower spectrum and therefore don't attract as many bugs. But, I have several LED headlamps and my brightest and favorite attracts a lot more bugs than most people's LED headlamps. It may produce a different light, or maybe it's just because it's really bright. So, that's why I...

    ARB 4x4 LED Adventure Light

    Well, I wonder if the plug and switch are better on the florescent. I really like everything about the florescent other than 1) too bright for ambiance (you're right about that), 2) attracts bugs like a bear to honey. Anyone else know about the bug performance? Beuller? Beuller?

    LC vs Trooper vs Montero

    I do think the Sport is competition for the 4Runner and the full-size is more for the LC. The litttle (I mean tiny) ARB compressor is for lockers only and not to be used for inflation. They have a larger compressor for that. I have the little one for the two lockers and an Extremeaire for...

    Hitler is not happy with the Nikon D7000 shipment schedule.

    March, damn...that's a long time to wait. I have my pennies saved for this one for quite a while now. I was hoping for end of the year. Oh, and I don't think those leaks are always accidental or without Nikon's approval, but I could be wrong. Thanks, Trevor.

    LC vs Trooper vs Montero

    Thanks for the comliment. As for the compressor box. If you get one, I recommend not doing it. It takes up too much space. I'd recommend either installing the compressor in the 3rd-row seat compartment (if you can figure out some ventilation) and the tank underneath, or placing both...

    I can't watch the video here, but I am not happy with the D700s shipment ;)

    ARB 4x4 LED Adventure Light

    I have the older florescent ARB adventure light and have been considering their newer LED light due to the florescent's incredible ability to attract bugs. For anyone who has this newer light, how well does it light your camp? How well does it not attract bugs?

    LC vs Trooper vs Montero

    For gen III Monteros (2001-2007) both front and rear ARB lockers are available, and they work well ;)

    Where to mount a Spot Messenger??

    I keep mine in my ditch bag. If I want to send a notification, I just send it from my daily destination.

    That's hillarious, but sad too, cause I know what you mean.

    Heavy Weight Champ

    So, now I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why my truck weighs so much. I don't have an aux fuel tank, or 9 jerry cans, or 24 gallons of water. I do have 5 skid plates that I estimate weigh about 300-350 lbs. So, there's that, but my truck weighed almost as much as yours with my...

    Heavy Weight Champ

    Wow, Dave, that roof alone is quite heavy with all those fluids up there. Is that 9 jerry cans and what looks like 2 5-gallon and 2 7-gallon water jugs? Not accounting for the weight of the containers, thats 278.1 lbs of fuel (assuming petrol), and 200.4 lbs of water. Thats before you factor...

    Gen 3 Under body Protection

    I don't have a recommendation for a mechanic in San Marcos. In Tyler, I would recommend going to see Joe at the Try Us at 155/ Loop 323. I would think any decent suspension shop could do it. It's very straight forward. I was surprised at how easy it is. The struts have to be assembled for...

    Gen 3 Under body Protection

    Small world indeed. I want to see your truck with the Lovells installed. I've always heard and read excellent things about those springs. I think you made the right choice with the new OME shocks. I'm going to those soon as well.

    Gen 3 Under body Protection

    Small world. Yes, Kieron was very helpful and answered all of my questions about the Lovell's springs/ Bilstein shocks that are so popular in Australia. Also, I noticed that you had Tyler, TX listed yesterday as your location, but I now see San Marcos. How long were you in Tyler? I grew up...

    Gen 3 Under body Protection

    Clay, how do you know Kieron (Pearcie)? I've spoken to him a few times before. He definitely seems to have some nice products.
