Interesting comment, I don't know the details of how Android file system works, but on my Asus TF700, I have a 32gb class 6 micro sd card full of maps downloaded from MOBAC and Backcountry Navigator reads them just fine, in real time while I'm driving. I also used to use a smaller cheapo micro...

I built a special rack in my cooler, the dry ice sits on the side of the cooler... It doesn't come in direct contact with any items... I have a friend's wife make some dream dinners ahead of time and can eat 9x9 dinners nightly for a week with about 20# of dry ice. As a note, I wouldn't use...

Hey folks that are just now reading this thread, just a note I'm working on getting my pictures back up. Should be back online in the next few days. Sorry for the hassle :)

I saw this, and am seriously considering it. Not for camping/off-road (got a couple $50 baofungs for that) but more as an emergency backup. Most of my friends live within 5-10 miles of me, in a catastrophe I throw this on the roof of the house and have solid communications. It would also...

Hey! Mine is a 2006! I would get totally offended except it is slow lol. Looking forward to meeting you at the rally. If I'm the first Hummer there I'll ask them to set aside a few spot for us. Cheers! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I would drill a hole in the mounting bolts and put a small lock right near the nuts. You only need to do two (opposite corners) of the mounting plates, so 4 total locks. It would be pretty difficult to get a bolt cutter in there to break the locks, and would be pretty easy to unlock and remove...

I have an H3. They are universal fit, and fit great. The only think I don't like so much is that they don't fully cover my original seats, so they aren't truly preventing wear (on the corner of the seats).

I have the Smittybuilt seatcovers and regular MOLLE pouches fit just fine. The seatcovers come with a bunch of stuff as well to get you started.

Windows choices are pretty solid. Plenty of history in the software... Nat Geo TOPO! They come in State series. They used to be $99 per state, but you can find them much cheaper now. Very detailed USGS topo maps. The 'old' USGS topo maps, not the new hi-res ones. Not updated anymore, and...

A long read, but lots of good information in this thread... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/77503-How-to-make-a-cheap-isolated-dual-battery-setup-for-50

This is true for a lot of 'generic' wire sold just about anywhere. One way you can be sure the wire rating is accurate is to look for the UL Mark on the wire. Wire with The Mark has been tested to verify ratings and you can be pretty sure there won't be any issues using it within its...

I have the Kindle Fire 7 as a dedicated rig tablet. I had to hack it (XDA has all the info), but now it works great and runs the regular Play store apps including BCN, Torque, etc Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

This is definitely a possibility and something people should keep on eye on. On my Suburban, after 5 years I noticed some fading where the wiring was exposed to UV. The rest had no issues, but long-term it could be an issue. On my H3 I run the wiring along the frame and it's about 30...

Never made it for Canada, but Delorme makes Topo North America and that's a solid option Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I've looked at that, and there are other awning out there that do just that. For me, the rear support could be attached to the rear bumper, but the front support lines up with the back of my front tire :( I tried to attach it to the body right behind that (making it not perfectly square), but...

http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/ngs/category/topo!-state-series They aren't made anymore, but that's the software. I love it and have used it for 10+ years

Nearly all windows tablets will run nearly all windows xp programs. Topo works just fine and while it is a bit funky with touch controls, I've been using it on a touchscreen tablet for 5+ years with a lot of success Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Adding an extra wire won't likely make much of a difference. The rate your 2nd battery will charge is more based on the power your alternator provides and how much the 2nd battery needs, and less on the size of the wire you use (as long as you are using a large enough wire). You can verify...

That might be stretching it on the 'low cost' side of things. I didn't see any built-in GPS or bluetooth, which means you may not be able to connect to an external GPS. I have quite a few of these 'cheap' Android tablets, and most get to that cost by using lower cost wireless components, which...

I have both the Nexus 7 and the Transformer. I like the screen on the transformer better (much better sunlight visibility), speedwise they are about the same. The transformer will charge without the base, but it's not that fast (there is a special 15V car charger you can buy that makes it much...
