    Help me out here! GPS for Ipad Mini

    I use a Verizon 4620L Mifi with my Google Nexus 10. No, the Google Nexus 10 is obviously not an iPad, but same concept. I can use either my Verizon MiFi or my AT&T Galaxy Note II running in mobile hotspot mode to supply the internet connection for my Google Nexus 10. That way I have redundancy &...

    Will you buy an extra large phone?

    Use my phone for work email, web surfing, facebook, & text (with virtual keypad), so love the 5.3" screen on my Note II phablet. At some point, I'll probably upgrade to a Note III with the 5.5" screen. If 5.3" isn't an issue for me, an extra 0.2" likely isn't going to change that. I also have...

    Hi there, Saw you post here on Expedition Portal in the Domestics forum that you have an extra Asfir front skid plate for an '00 Excursion. - How much do they go for normally / how much did you pay for it? - How much do you want for it? - How much would you charge to ship it to San Diego, CA...

    2000 Ford Excursion as expedition vehicle

    Thanks for the part number for the modified Warn '08-10 Ford Super Duty Oil Pan/Transmission/Transfer Case Skid Plate (PN 76590). I just ordered one from Amazon & it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully it bolts up pretty easily to my '00 X too, with minimal modification. Do you happen to know if...

    Best Offroad GPS unit

    Interested in pics contrasting maps shown with sat imaging & hill shading vs. topo. Also, since you brought up the topic of map resolution, what does the Lowrance Insight Pro West, @ 30ft topo detail, correspond to in meters per pixel? Also sent you a PM.

    Best Offroad GPS unit

    Picked up a Lowrance Elite 5m Gold, together with an external antenna, (see for regular price: http://www.pciraceradios.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=-4518242454402596607) + Baja maps on a microSD card, at the Sand Sports Super Show a month or so ago, at a discounted price that was too difficult...

    Sell the 'Burb, K30 AND the X!! Buy a '00 X with the 7.3L PSD. Swap the cool bits (front bumper, winch, tire gate, headlights, etc.) from your gasser X onto the diesel X, before selling the gasser X.

    Mobile routers and wifi

    'ES File Explorer' for Android works great. I tested this yesterday, using my Android tablet (just because the screen is bigger, should work identically for Android phones). I attached a USB thumb drive containing a few music, photo & video files to my home router. Once the Android tablet was...

    Mobile routers and wifi

    No drivers needed for a simple USB drive plugged into a USB port on a WiFi router. And I wasn't suggesting anything near as complex as a NAS. Just a simple USB thumb drive (you can get some pretty large capacity fast USB thumb drives these days) or a regular hard drive or SSD flash drive in a...

    Mobile routers and wifi

    yeah, but the WRT54G doesn't have USB ports which precludes its use for my suggested usage model. It also doesn't have 802.11n or 5.2GHz. So while having the potential to run directly off a car battery is nice, that capability may not be outweighed its other disadvantages.

    Mobile routers and wifi

    For sharing photos etc. in camp, why don't you just set up a wireless home router. Many these days have advanced features. I would find a wireless router with 2 USB ports, and detachable antenna(s). Then you: - plug the router into an inverter (extra bonus if you can find a router that runs off...

    Crazy winch deal

    I don't follow this logic. Yeah, most modern diesel consumer trucks e.g. Ford F350, etc. have 2 batteries, but they're wired in parallel, for cranking power, not series, so it's still a 12V system. You'd need at least 1 extra house battery on board, wired in series to the main grounded batteries...

    Short Bed vs. Long Bed

    6.5/6.75' vs 8' bed = 1.25' - 1.5' difference in overall length e.g. 245.6" (~ 20'6") for CCSB vs 261.8" (~ 21'10") for CCLB, probably isn't going to make a huge difference, unless you frequent tight urban parking areas, but even then the CCSB is likely to still be a bit of a handful in the same...

    Looking for a good soft bag for first aid supplies

    A bit smaller than originally requested, but how about this? http://www.voodootactical.net/p-391-new-medical-rescue-response-bag-for-emtems-paramedic.aspx Or even 2 identically equipped if you feel 1 wouldn't hold enough supplies. Having 2 bags might not even be a bad idea if it's required...
