    Blog/Iphone & Netbook

    I'm a digital/web strategist by day so I get to deal with a lot of different systems. For my personal use, I went with the easiest: www.posterous.com. From their iPhone app you can upload photos, add text and geotag the post all directly from the app. Depending on your theme and privacy...

    MotionX for iPad help needed

    I have done it before with only limited success. It's like the app doesn't like caches that are over a certain size. Are you getting a certain error?

    "97 Defender 90, Maryland?

    Quick Google search of the phone number seen in the background: http://www.revellservicecenter.com Looks like they do a small sales business along with repairs. The Defender doesn't appear to be on their website though. Pete

    Compact AWD Overland 2006 Subaru Forester "Blackberry"

    Saguache - I think you would enjoy reading about Bill's Superu. Still one of my favorite builds ever shared on ExPo. http://thesuperu.com/ http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/6990-Snorkel-installed-on-Outback!?highlight=

    Nikon Nerds - today is the day...

    The low light performance on the new D4 will likely be spectacular. However, I am surprised the MP aren't higher. Not saying it's needed, just surprised Nikon didn't boost it higher to play the marketing game a bit more. However, I'm still staying with my trusty D300. :)

    T-Top Eezi-Awn pics!

    Old thread :) The topper is made by Range Rider out of Summerland BC. Similar to Leer or ARE, just cheaper for us Canadians. I have since added a third rack crossbar, but otherwise running the exact same system. No additional supports in the canopy. Zero issues, even with 500 lbs plus the...

    255/85/16 tire pressure?

    General driving I stay at 35 psi. If I am going for a long highway trip, I may increase it to as high as 40 depending on the load and speeds.

    RTT's in Canada?

    Years ago when I purchased my Eezi-Awn, I picked it up in Montana. I was in the USA for over 7 days and even though I was over the allotted amount (and declared the full value of the tent and other items) I was not charged any duty at all. My suggestion is to ship it to www.montanashipping.com...

    Suspension (or other) noise - with mods and research

    Same here. Every few months I stick a piece of tree branch between my bumper and fender. Fixed with recycled materials :)

    Can the iPhone 4s replace a regular camera?

    Just got back from Edinburgh, London and France and captured on my Nikon D300 and an iPhone 4s. Here are a sample of the iPhone 4s shots. Most are very punchy and non-natural, but overall I was very happy with the performance. Would it replace my DSLR? Not a chance. Different tools in...

    National SImplex Monitoring Team - An interesting proposal

    I always keep one side of my dual receive on 146.520 and the other either on a local repeater or a forestry frequency. Like Lance, I call out on occasion but I don't think I have ever had a response. It would be nice to have more people monitoring!

    Road Trip - I've used this for tracking all of my fuel usage for the past two years. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/road-trip-mpg-mileage-fuel/id298398207?mt=8 Sky View - I have tried a few night sky apps and this one felt the easiest to use (and the cleanest interface)...

    Swing-away rear bumper WITHOUT a tire mount?

    I have seen dual swing-out bumpers that do not have tire carriers. If I remember correctly, Kaymar bumpers have options for each of their swings including can holders and jack mounts. Although I don't think they make any for 4Runners :( The problem is being removable. It's hard to make...

    The Mobile / Cell Phone Pic Thread.
