    Used oil storage

    Most fire halls/stations around here take old oil. Check them out in your area. Another place might be a construction company for road dust control or asphalt repairs. :costumed-smiley-007

    Dual batteries: Fancy kit or regular kit?

    I don't believe I said the red top was a deep cycle battery which it is not, I simply used it as an example as a previous post mentioned it was used as a starting battery, what Optima recommends. Also it has the side connections which are not recommended for winch use. Nothing mentioned about...

    Differential breather routing?

    If you are going to do a lot of water crossings and your diffs and transfer case/trani are going to be submerged often, getting all the breathers to higher elevation is a good thing. Water in any of these will cause considerable havoc and be expensive to fix. I have my both my diff breathers...

    HID vs LED

    Another thing to consider with HID lights is that most need a ballast (powering up, surge) but some have them built-in and the ballast needs a place to reside that is water proof (ballasts do not like to get wet). This can be problematic when space in the engine bay is a premium for all those...

    Dual batteries: Fancy kit or regular kit?

    The NL kit is one of the best and easiest to install set-ups in the industry, with all the versatility one could ever want. Yes it is expensive ~$375 (Equipt1.com) but worth it considering you don't need anything else. No driving around town looking for parts, no phoning, etc. You can boost your...

    Ice vs dry ice.

    Dry Ice or Cardice or Card Ice, will last much longer than regular water ice. :costumed-smiley-007 FYI...from Wiki: Some facts: At temperatures above −56.4 °C (−69.5 °F) and pressures below 5.2 bar (the triple point), CO2 changes from a solid to a gas with no intervening liquid form, through a...

    Snorkel users.

    Having it face forward will also increase the "ram" effect and thus increase air intake. This is good for highway conditions at cruising speed and does increase fuel economy - Australian 4WD Action Magazine a few years back did a test on this and proved that a snorkel can pay for itself in about...

    CBI Bumper

    Kool bumper Ferg! Steve does great work. Too bad about Brant, he was a great addition to the place. Looks great on your rig. I have been to the same greasy spoon place, good food, but way too much for one meal.

    Laptop Based GPS Software options?

    My Garmin system, so far (touch wood), has been fool/goof proof. The only problem I have is all the infrastructure changes near or in big towns/cities as I have not updated the City Navigator software in some time. My fibreglass and also my metal roof in both trucks have no problem reading the...

    Laptop Based GPS Software options?

    There is a ton of things to consider, some of which have been mentioned here on this thread. What GPS do you have already or are thinking of getting, type, manufacturer, etc. What do you want to use it for, cities, travel, off road, etc. What is available near you to keep costs down...

    Tint Your Expedition Vehicle Or Not?

    Granted a darker tint does limit visibility especially at night, but depends on how dark you get it. Another thought is tinting the passenger/driver windows which is considered illegal in some states/countries. Be aware law enforcement officers in those areas are known to key the windows so you...
