Looks like a great time, thanks for sharing! So many cool places in Idaho.

If you sign up to the Touring class you can do as little or as much of the navigation competition as you want. Overall it's not a race, it's a navigation rally, basically an off-road easter egg hunt. They have checkpoints set up that you try and find and then take a picture or some other way...

I used DaveInDenver's system of checking a 9v battery and found my VOM (Power Probe) to be pretty accurate (at least for me), 2 Duracell batteries came in at 9.69v. That gives me confidence that what I read throughout the vehicle with it is accurate or at least "close enough". Next time I take...

Good point. it's a '96, not much in the way of on-board software, it barely has the OBD2. It's probably more of a function of the reader (USB hard wired into head unit for input to the the Torque app).

Thats a good idea on the 9v, thanks. I just want to find a good baseline that I can then figure an offset for mainly the OBD2 reading to monitor from. I actually expected the OBD2 reported voltage to be lower, assuming it had more wiring convolutions getting to it.

So, it's not a critical issue, more of a question on what is accurate and how to measure it. I have 3rd Gen 4runner with the stock alternator. I added a GM diode to the exciter circuit to raise the output voltage a little bit. I've added a "house" AGM through a solenoid and wanted to try and...

A simple drip pan now is a easy way to deal with a problem that you may or may not have down the road. Insulating it may trap the any moisture in and harbor mold/mildew over time.

I got some simple USB rechargeable ones off of Amazon and they work fine, easy and fast charging, cheap enough that I have a few of them that I keep in different vehicles. What I don't like about most headlamps is that they all seem to want to be the brightest and be able to bounce off the...

Been using one of these for years. Very easy to use. Word to the wise though, can be a little tippy sitting on a tall mug and can spill. Very enjoyable sensation dumping boiling water all over your hand and wrist early in the morning, sets the tone for the day... Sent from my SM-G975U using...

Don't forget there will be loads in addition to charging that would have to be satisfied with the 20 amps thereby reducing the available charging current Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williwaw "In meteorology, a williwaw is a sudden blast of wind descending from a mountainous coast to the sea. The word is of unknown origin, but was earliest used by British seamen in the 19th century. The usage appears for winds found in the Strait of Magellan...

did you read the info that Rando posted by ARRL?

No reason to actually get real information when you can just make assumptions based on your own paranoia. I mean how would all these d!psh!t "journalists" get their time in the sun if they actually had to do research and find out information. Take a little bit of sensational news and run with...

We just completed the Alcan 5000 Winter Rally in Feb/Mar (seems so long ago now). During the rally, we completed the entire length of the Alcan, the Dempster (including up to Tuk and also out to Aklavik on the ice road), the Dalton up to Coldfoot, and then down to Anchorage. Fuel was...

Might try over on Wander the West. sort of a FWC cult over there..

Will those titanium sticks have a spork attachment?
