    OJ's dual battery system review

    Not sure. I believe I spoke with Mike Hines. I'm not sure if he is the owner or simply in charge of technical support. I can say this: I had him on the phone for at least 20-30 minutes discussing my options and making sure that I fully understood what I was getting into with the...

    OJ's dual battery system review

    If we're going to seek out the best equipment, then I do wish the HR BIC95300B had been part of the review. At least I think that would have been a more “fair” comparison with the other systems. I understand that it wasn’t included and that it was clear which model was tested, but it is not...

    Upgrading from D40 to F4/F5/F100?

    I couldn't agree more. I need to find time to spend with mine, my 20mm f/2.8, and several rolls of Velvia; I love that combination.

    RTT on an Isuzu Trooper?

    Go to Yakima's website and see what's recommended for your vehicle. I would recommend 3 crossbars. I am not familiar with the different generations of Troopers, but if yours has raingutters, then I think you're in very good shape. What model RTT are you looking at? Lots of us are very...

    ARB Fridge Food Stowage Idea

    Right. You put the beer:beer: in there first, and then plan everything else around it.

    ARB Fridge Food Stowage Idea

    I use a couple of these containers, but I don't use that many due to the fact that they take up more space than the food they contain. There is always going to be some wasted space. There are many pros to using these though: 1) ease of access to your items 2) prevents leaks to keep your fridge...

    why jerry cans?

    Sure, the Scepters are commanding a higher price due to limited supply. May I suggest the Wedco cans for about $45? You can get them here. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality. If you live in a state that is CARB compliant, they make a can for that too. The spout isn't that great, but...

    Capturing the night images

    Wil, These are tough shots for someone just getting into photography. Bravo, sir, for taking on the challenge. I concur with Slomatt’s suggestions for using a tripod, setting the exposure manually for the brightest lights, for turning it to manual focus after setting the focus, and for...

    Processing?

    Matt, These are good questions. I'm curious to hear others' opinions on this matter as well. You may be asking a question similar to “what is art”, or “what is not art”. Ultimately, I think that a lot of these digital tools simply make the photographer's job easier...

    Hurray

    X2. I'm really grateful for our own humble spot. I'm hoping with the new place, we can share ideas better and stir up more interest in these great vehicles. As for soccer mom SUV's, there's barely an SUV anywhere that isn't driven by soccer mom's. LCs, LRs, FJ Cruisers, Monteros...

    Another tent question

    Have you seen this? This might be the right fit for you. Looks like it's the right size, durable, and reasonably priced.

    120v to 12v conversion

    What is the purpose of the electric blanket? Since the exact purpose wasn't stated, I'll assume it's for sleeping in the vehicle? May I suggest a well-made sleeping bag instead? This will serve you far better, as it won't need a single amp to power it, yet it will keep you warm when you need...

    If you think we're "scary devoted", you haven't read any of the LR vs. Toyota threads around here.

    Post your Mitsubishi Pajero Pics

    That sure looks like a genII Montero/ Pajero that's in dire need of a bilge pump. No worries...we'll hopefully get more and more of these trucks on ExPo and everyone will become more familiar.

    SAS/SAC debate thread

    I would tend to agree here. Unless there's a cheap way to add a solid axle to a vehicle, I would think starting with a solid axle would make more sense.

    It's such a cool looking truck, I didn't have the heart to tell him :)
