    Wanted:Dual fuel stove info.

    I have the Coleman 442, the MSR Whisperlite International, and the MSR Dragonfly. The Coleman: Pros: Compact Nice, wide burner Practically no priming required Very quick setup Cons: Doesn't have a full windscreen and using a separate one can be dangerous due to the potential to overheat...

    The 2k expo rig

    Keep up the good work, Paul. It will pay off; it may just take a little longer than you wanted. Time figuring stuff out, is not time wasted. It's an investment. Before too long, you will have long forgotten those first few "tough" days. I can't wait to see this thing on an overlanding...

    Montero Build

    Absolutely. Come looke me up. I'll either be hanging out with Wil/Wen or over with Adventure Trailers and/or Equipt.

    Montero Build

    There are several factory locations just inside the rocker panel. They're even pre-tapped with threads. Here are some pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GyYhxVi2eajTEaeELY6l4A?authkey=Gv1sRgCMmJsejQtYG8Ug&feat=directlink...

    My 1991 Monty

    Very nice setup. Welcome to the forum. Nice find on the gen II axle with locker and the suspension seats. I wish I'd had both of those options in my '94 LS.

    Panasonic Toughbook Y7 14.1in Laptop $999.99

    I saw this deal and thought I'd pass it along. It only has 1 GB of RAM, but I'm sure you can add some more and still have a good laptop and a good price. I don't know anything about the merchant CDW, but here's the link. I found out about the link via TechBargains.

    Photojournalist excluded for excessive photoshopping

    The photoshop editing does seem a bit heavy-handed, but no more than can be done with other, legacy tools of the trade. Maybe it's because the end result is more artistic rather than journalistic. I mention that, since the award appears to be strictly for photojournalism.

    Nat Geo Topo CD ROM

    The version they're selling appears to be really old...did you read the system requirements? You might be better off getting Delorme Topo USA version 7 (latest) for the entire US for only $99. It integrates USGS topo maps with forest service maps and wilderness areas. In addition, you can...

    Montero Build

    I'll see what I can do. It sucks that the photo storage problem hasn't been fixed yet. Practically all of my photos in my build thread, photos that would help you out here in this situation, will not display. As for the breathers, there are several that run all the way into the engine bay...

    2006 Hummer H3

    That's a nice looking setup. The new owner is sure to get a nice expedition rig. I really like the low profile of the roof rack.

    Montero Build

    No worries; that's one of the reasons we're all here, to help one another out. We Mitsubishi owners have to stick together. :smiley_drive:

    What is a spline?

    These are the ridges on the end of an axle shaft. As far as I know, a 29 spline is the number of discrete ridges that it has. For example, the rear diff in my Montero has 33 splines, the front, 28. More info here, and here.

    Klean Kanteens

    Weight? The Klean Kanteens are actually pretty light for their size. I'd say comparable. The double-wall SS Sigg (not to be confused with the more common aluminum Sigg) is definitely heavier, but it's double walled and the base and mouth are much heavier duty. As for dents, not good. It's...

    Montero Build

    That's excellent news. Even though I've never noticed this, I'm glad it has resolved itself for you...maybe I just wasn't paying close attention when I had the battery disconnected? I'm sending you a PM about resolving this ASAP.

    Nissan Patrol

    Okay, that's just wrong. You shouldn't be allowed to post Nissan Patrol porn. Not fair; not fair. :drool:

    Montero Build

    Not certain. In all the times that I've had the battery disconnected for longer periods of time than simply switching out a battery, I've never noticed anything like this. See what you find down here. These guys know their Pajeros.
