I've never seen or used the Magcraft magnets -- but I do have some small rare-earth magnets (less than 1") that are strong enough to open my refrigerator door when used as a handle (that is: stick the magnet to the door, then pull on the magnet to open the door, not 'hold the magnet near the...

Have you checked to be sure your thermometer is accurate? That should be the first step. It's as simple as measuring the temperature of a pot of boiling water (approx 212*F), and the temperature of a bowl or glass of ice water (approaching 32*F). I've never checked my ARB50, but it is...

If we are going somewhere local (day trip), the dogs sit on the floor behind the front seats (full size Dodge). If we are out for more than a day, the 'fridge lives behind the drivers seat, which makes it *really* tight for a pair of mid-size dogs (50 & 70lbs). So, when that occurs, they get...

For $8500 it would have to be *really* clean, and the previous work would have to be *really* good. No reason to buy into someone elses headache for that much $$$. The fact that he has receipts for $14K worth of parts/work means absolutely nothing. *NOTHING*. Look at the individual...

$1,000 total is going to be tough to do . If I were dealing with that budget, I would be looking at older (early 1980s) Honda XR/XLs, or similar import bikes -- you can pick them up for a couple hundred bucks (make sure you get a title -- it can be a huge pain and expense if you don't). Be...

The triumph would make a ************ scrambler! Tell him to do it!!!! :bike_rider:

Yes. Many of the homeowners up there want the trail closed. Apparently they don't like seeing anyone having fun.

Wow. Here's a blast from the past. My old ZR2 in front of Chuck's . . . And a shot that includes Mr. Marzonie (bajataco) on a trip to Big Bear, circa 2002.

Awesome!!! :victory:

He changed the picture. :ylsmoke: The original pic was the old 650GS single.

Roseann Hanson is the one to talk to -- she is all things Overland Expo. Her username here is Desert Rose, or send her a message via the Conserventures website or facebook page, or the Overland Expo website or facebook page.

Headroom is the reason I didn't put a platform in the back of my truck. We use a simple air mattress at bed level. There is a 1/2 length platform (30") at bed-rail height that the dogs get to sleep on (there is plenty of room between the air mattress and the bottom of the platform for our...

How does it act as the battery approaches it's limit? Does it run hard then just fall on it's face, or does it gradually lose power -- or did you even get the battery that low?

:victory: That's awesome.

Very cool Brad! I haven't been up there since the spring before the flood that wiped out the bottom end. That was what, 5 years ago? It's about time to go back.

That's a lot of juice. :eek: I guess a sun-powered ride across the west is out. I'd be interested to see how far you can consistently get on a single charge. Not much of a vehicle to explore in considering the range, but it would make a cool 'around town' bike, assuming you don't live too...

But taking the Jeep to recharge the battery is cheating. :sombrero: I think a pair of Zero's running the TAT (GWT, CDT, what ever) powered entirely by the sun, would be cool. BTW, that's a awfully beefy side stand!

Is that an H4 headlamp? Any idea why they aren't using an LED? :confused: I wonder what kind of speed (miles per day) you could average if you packed light and used a flexible solar panel to recharge it every afternoon . . .
