Nice, I like that. I'm always aware of which of my bins have tapered sides (nesting, great for shipping big stacks of items to the store, bad for maximizing interior volume vs. footprint). Since so many of us spend so much time being short on space, this seems like an important metric to keep...

I love that this report just keeps going. The adventure continues, no matter where you are.

Well aware, Jed! Your vids are how I found the whole kit, and I'm smitten. The only negative for me is that I'm sure shipping to California will be crippling. ;-)

Thanks Jason, I'll look into it!

Holy heck, this writeup just keeps getting better.

I love the idea of that thing, but in reality I think it's a bust for me. Aside from the fact that my tire is still under the chassis, you can't adjust the height of the grilling surface at all. For myself, I'm seriously considering investing in something like the Roadii firegrill because it...

And here's why: BM closed on Day 1 (and probably 2) due to rain turning the whole thing into a muddy mess: http://boingboing.net/2014/08/25/burning-man-rained-out-closes.html

Yeah, the prices seem exorbitant until you've done one for yourself. Suddenly the idea of writing a big check doesn't seem so bad to me!

I carry the Bogert Safe Jack bottle jack stuff for my rig. Would work great for a trailer as well

Looks like a great box for some applications, but it doesn't really fit my criteria at all. It's 5” taller than the current solution, but more importantly it loads from the sides. I'd need an eight foot ladder to get into it. Still hoping to fun something I can access by standing on the rear...

That's just for clean up, that playa dust gets into EVERYTHING.

Me too! If you're feeling the need to have a Subaru-powered Steyr-Puch design, just find a Syncro VW and do that swap. :D

They're air-cooled alright, but inline, not flat. I imagine you'd have an easier time retrofitting watercooling and just about any modern longitudinal I-4 EDIT: I've also seen an older BMW I-6 Diesel in a Pinz...

Ths is already a fantastic write-up, and you're only to Day 5! Bookmarking for sure!

Normally this tends to indicate that the voltage is sagging under a load. Are you using the control wire to drive the solenoid coil directly? IIRC, a normal 12V solenoid (like the Cole Hersee 200A unit I use) has a coil resistance of ~18ohm, which means there should only be ~670mA or so...

Searching the terms "spot" and "plb" together will yield several threads where they are compared. There is also an extensive analysis of the SPOT capabilities vs. PLBs and other devices on Equipped.org

Thought I'd post up a couple of new images from this weekend's SoCal meet-n-greet. I was just starting to fly the rig and shoot aerial photos when the local rangers showed up. It turns out their visit was unrelated, but I started the process of taking down the rig before I knew that, so I only...

Here's a photo from the trip where I finally got some kudos from my wife for building the van for her and my daughter to camp in: The whole set of criteria for the van build was around their comfort...

I currently leave mine in the van, disconnected and with the lid propped ajar to avoid mustiness. Previously, I used it as a beer fridge and ran it on AC in the garage.

Here you go: Hope that helps.
