    Watches - ExPo Style

    I bought a G-Shock GD 350 a couple of weeks ago. It is robust (as any G-Shock), good looking (stealth), and has direct access to the countdown functionality from the lower right hand button (good for expedition tasks ... oh, wait ... checking the time of a half of a soccer game ;-)

    Watches - ExPo Style

    I tend to "destroy" my watches very easily and was looking for a rugged but not too expensive one. The one I found holds up *very* nicely and looks still like new after one year - it seems that Casio knows how to build robust watches with the G-Shocks :-) I love the all-black style and the...

    We bought a Silver Shadow this year and used it on a three week road trip from VA to UT/NV/AZ this summer. It towed well and only in the Rockies I had to go back to third gear and see the big trucks passing us by. I drive a 2011 JKU 6 speed manual ... I love the Silver Shadow with its all birch...

    Hey, I just saw some older pictures you posted and was wondering what type of roof rack do you have? I am looking for one that doesn't look too bad when opening the soft top (which you have with a squareback roof top). Thanks Roland
