    Best Garmin dashboard GPS

    I just picked up a garmin 62s, they're on sale for $299. For me it has to be able to leave the vehicle with me. If the screen is too much of a pain to read if I ever start actually using it for directions, I'll look for one of the big Nuvi's This post has pics of one.

    Picked up another 1st gen Cummins

    auto, it'll go on, then just cut out. Then sometimes I'll turn it on by accident, and without setting it, it'll start pulling. I've never really looked into it, but it would be nice to have working properly.

    Subaru problem feels like a flat tire

    Check for dirt build up inside the wheels. Our impreza gets this with either mud or snow, especially after playing in it.

    A tale of two Cummins trucks... What would you do?

    1st gens are beasts, and ride horribly. But, super simple to work on and for a work rig, they're pretty good. I just hauled 4840 lbs of gravel yesterday, and was still a couple inches from even touching the bumpstops. Didn't go over 30mph though. If I were looking now I'd hold out for a late...

    To sipe or not to sipe KM2s?

    I took my KM2's out in the snow last year, is was packed a little, but it did 4 wheel slides really easy. If I lived where there was more snow, I'd sipe them.

    Good (Best) GPS App for Droid?

    run the free trial 1st. We tried it on my FIL's G'zone commando, and I didnt like it very much. I think on a tablet it would be a lot better. Maps take forever to download for offline use.

    Clearcoat redo

    This turns into a "while we're at it" Everywhere that needs clear needs to be sanded down, if you go through the paint anywhere then it needs paint there too. If the paint is faded the new color wont match exactly, sometimes they dont anyway. So getting the whole thing repainted becomes the next...

    Project Super Lux Safari Vehicle

    Sounds like a Suburban with some roof hatches or large rear sunroofs, and sliding back windows would work best. But I think getting two of them plus extra mods might put you over $100k.

    Spit some Subaru Forester info at me?

    Rebuilt engine is good, as long as it was done right. I agree with Pedro, it was probably driven too long on a blown head gasket resulting in the engine rebuild, either that or the timing belt went.

    Spit some Subaru Forester info at me?

    For receipts it should be from the shop that did the work. A lot of times its a mechanics receipt for removal & re-installation of the engine, plus rebuild costs. If he did it himself, you should see a pretty well equipped shop at his house. Plus receipts for all the rebuild parts and machine...

    looks like a good price for having a rebuilt engine. Ask to see receipts.

    Thanks, is there a way to set the map to north up? I agree this would be better on a tablet.

    Backcountry Navigator for Android

    are you guys just loading them straight to the phone? We're testing it out on my Father inlaws phone, and even on wifi its taking forever. the drag a box thing is kind of awkward too. I'd almost rather select quads or something.
