    Seasoning hard anodized aluminum - How to??

    I've never heard of anything other than cast iron needing to be "seasoned". I use hard anodized aluminium pots all the time and they don't need seasoning. Some non-stick surfaces recommend wiping the non-stick side with a very light layer of cooking oil after each use (after they've been fully...

    I like it. Could you post a couple more close-ups of how it's mounted to the roof rack?

    Discovery jerry can placement?

    Guadalupe Mountains (Lincoln National Forest) in far west TX and south NM. I took 2 extra cans this last spring and had to cut the trip short due to running out of fuel. When I go again next year, I'm taking at least 4 cans...maybe even more.

    This and the other espresso maker you posted earlier look like very cool options.

    Brewing Camp Coffee...

    So, if there isn't a vacuum causing it to get stuck, then maybe enough coffee grounds are getting stuck between the edge of the screen and the walls of the press? These are causing enough friction to keep it from moving? Try this, once you can get the screen lifted just enough that the lid...

    OZ Tent and COld Weather

    I don't think it has as much to do with the tent vs. the sleeping pad (for insulation) and the sleeping bag. The temp ratings are generally more for survivial vs. comfort and each manufacturer is different on this as well. I would start with a better bag. Also, what type of pad/mat are you...

    Mounting a Pullpal...

    I am certainly interested as well. All I've seen so far are custom roof-rack mounts. Usually custom to the rack itself and I don't like the idea of having that much weight up high.

    Need help with window mod...

    Hard Top Insulation I'm not sure about a window modification or replacement, but this insulation is supposed to help with heat. http://www.offroadheros.com/liner.html Might be worth looking at.

    Camera suggestions; G10 or ???

    Nikon P6000 is Nikon's answer to the G10. This one is worth a look. I've been thinking about getting it, but the idea of saving money for a D700 keeps holding me back. At any rate, prefocusing is the best way to combat shutter lag in P&S cameras.

    Gen 3 Monty?

    You may be right about that. I own a 2001 and my service manual is for 01/02 and I was quoting it. Forgive the oversight on your interest in 2003 models. Also, in 2003, I believe that traction control was added. So, you may have to dig a little deeper to find out whether the LSD was still...

    Gen 3 Monty?

    My diff has a silver sticker on it that states LSD. It's on the back side of the diff. It shows through a small square opening in the rear sub-frame. I'm not 100% positive, but I think most XLS models had an open diff. I recently bought a set of used XLS carriers, because it was cheaper...

    Gen 3 Monty?

    I haven't really noticed the difference, but it is selectable. So, yes, 2wd is an option.

    Gen 3 Monty?

    There are drivetrain differences between the Limited and XLS. Engine is the same; so no worries there. Differences include: 1) A/T: 5-speed=Limited (tiptronic shifting too); 4-speed=XLS 2) Diff ratio: 4.3=Limited; 5-speed=XLS 3) LSD Rear diff: I believe this is standard on the...
