I have the ecotemp as well, and bought a washdown kit from WestMarine. Had pretty much everything I needed... http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=15422&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50632&subdeptNum=50661&classNum=50662 I added some...

So you bought basically the cheapest fridge on the market, knowing it had a 1 year warranty. Then you chose NOT to purchase the 3 year extended warranty. Then, when the fridge broke down after fulfilling it's manufacturer's promise to you (work for a year), you wanted them to repair it for...

Most go for Backcountry Navigator (I use it regularly)...I think there's free and paid. EarthNC, Orux, are two others I've messed with, but I keep coming back to BCN. Some other good free software... Knotsguide Torque (if you have a bluetooth OBD reader) MyTracks (from google, good if you...

Oh No! Probably wouldn't help if I said I'm now into spring camping season, the fridge has been outside all winter (running), been in snow camping, thick mud, and still keeps my beer cold? Of course, I'm heading back out next weekend and it will probably die on me and ruin my steak :) So that...

I agree...and they are $3.99 at harbor freight :)

Arizona Beach, Oregon at sunrise on the way to the California Overland Rally last October...Titan on the left, Guinness on the right...

This. The side benefit is that you can also wire other high-current devices (air compressor, water pump, margarita blender) with an anderson connector and be able to plug it in and use it off your truck (while running, so you don't wear down your starting battery). The advantage of using a...

Looks like I am officially 'out' - work announced no raises for the next 2 years :( and bonuses this year weren't enough to cover my gas cost (now estimated at ~$3,000) let alone any other costs on the trip. Bummed out as I turn 40 this year and it would be a great way to...

Adventure packages came with the locker, OP said base/lux, so no locker :( Aftermarket locker w/install would eat up a good portion of the budget. You can also do front lockers by swapping in newer front diff, but those are usually lower on the list of upgrades (mostly after you've grenaded...

That works too, be careful with side-load pulls on the recover attachment points. A number of H3 owners have had some deflection at the end of the frame rails where the tow hooks attach. You can get weld-on re-enforcement plates for those though...

Since you are going to Moab (hopefully with friends?), definitely add the sliders. A new H3 bumper will set you back $600 (CBPhoto) to $1200 (ARB), add in price of the winch and you are pretty far over budget :) Used H3 bumpers are rare, and typically go within a few days on Craigslist (trust...

The bungee in the PVC is a great idea! I found with the material I used that it 'stretched' over time and I couldn't go with a fixed-length pipe, I ended up having to extend it more each time I used the tarp, so the fixed PVC didn't work for me (on a related note, anyone want some short PVC...

Given that they sold 3 MILLION ipad 3's over launch weekend, and I'm guessing maybe 15 or 20 of those users took it out of cell service to track on GPS...I fixed your estimate for you :)

For anyone in the Portland, OR area, rather than spend a lot of time/effort on rebuilding your Warn, take it down to their service center in Milwaukie. I took an old M8000i I got free from an uncle, dropped it off and they rebuilt the control box (new solenoids), new controller (5-wire instead...

I use BCN a LOT when I'm using my phone in the car (and plugged in), and I also use it on a hacked Nook for a nice 7" display (this is a great offroad setup). I also use it when I'm on day hikes out of cell service and I want to use Google Terrain - you can find (semi-hacked) ways to d/l the...

That's quite a bit for a small screen. I don't have the 62, but have the 60 and really didn't like the screen (especially after being spoiled by my Atrix's screen). I picked up my Montana for $300 on CL, they are harder to find at that price but worth it if you are patient...after using my...

How about the official beer? Apocalypse IPA http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16873/53808/?ba=Wetpaperbag

I was down in Napa visiting my grandma last weekend...she has a 1993 Buick Century with 29k original miles...maybe I should try and talk her into letting me 'borrow' it for a few weeks :)

While I haven't decided anything yet, I grabbed www.mymayarally.com in case I decide to go. I'll use that (and likely Google Sites) to document prep and the actual Rally if I decide to go. Let's see, tough dilemma...canoe trip through Canada for a month, or Overland Rally and winning the Maya...
