    Anyone here take this photo or know who did?

    Load the file in your photo software and look for a menu that looks like "File Info" or similar. If you don't have a tool installed that can do that download "the GIMP". It's an open source photo editing software.

    Distributing the weight........a weighty matter

    When we used to run a long wheel base Samurai we tended to get it loaded pretty close to even front to back. We had a ARB bumper / M8000 combo on the front and a home made rear bumper that was fairly heavy - maybe 1/3rd the weight of the front setup. The driveline was stock save for lockrights...

    BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 winter

    Just by eyeballing the tread pattern on these tires I can tell they aren't going to be that great as a dedicated winter tire. No where near enough siping. For winter useage lots of sipes are what you want... they pack with snow and under vehicle weight/pressure stick to the ice or polished snow...

    What Is The Best Topo Map App For iPad

    I use Navigon for turn-by-turn (mostly). It's the "old comfy shoe" of apps for me that reminds me of the embedded devices we used to suction cup to our windshields years ago. It doesn't do topo... there is a download that can give elevations (visual cues only) but it is not usagable for "real"...

    Computer monitors - Macbook compatible

    Sounds like for your purposes it's about the colour space/representation. With the Apple products you know what you are getting. With the other brands it'll be a roll of the dice unless you are able to see one setup and calibrated. 2¢

    Built to purpose or purpose to build?

    After over-building a Jeep and not being happy with the results I decided the next truck was going to be close to stock and 'living room comfortable' for those occasional 12-14 hour banzai runs to make up the travel schedule. I picked a platform that could take 35" tires with little if any...

    iPad Pro vs Surface Pro 4

    Which runs beautifully under Mac OSX BTW, much nicer than the Windows native version if you don't need access to the MS scripting VB.

    iPad Pro vs Surface Pro 4

    Hacking? What hacking was implied in my response?

    Can Windows read hfs+ without third party software? NFS? AFP? Just sayin'.

    iPad Pro vs Surface Pro 4

    Please explain to me how Macs are locked down. Of course you have to have native binaries compiled for the underlying operating system - if you want to run the program natively. You can't run Linux binaries on Windows natively either. Windows is so locked down. For profit of course! <?> You...

    iPad Pro vs Surface Pro 4

    I don't understand these comments about Macs not allowing people to tinker. I've seen this comment on this site a few times lately and am curious. It's a full blown UNIX workstation under the GUI, people realize this, right? It has pretty much full access to the universe of open source software...

    2007+ Tahoe/Yukon thoughts?

    IIRC there is a kit to deactivate (i.e. remove) the AFM on a mechanical level also. Can't remember where I saw it, perhaps related to Pontiac G8 or GTO HDPE usage.

    Block heaters? Battery warmers? Oil pan heaters?

    As long as it works till he sells/trades it does it really matter? <devil's advocate />

    Block heaters? Battery warmers? Oil pan heaters?

    I'm in the Ottawa area. I very rarely bother with the block heater... -25ºC or lower overnight is when I start thinking about it. Above that... Meh.

    Ford Ranger and Bronco Coming back! Crosses fingers

    Tata could buy them - then they'd have both Jeep and Land Rover.
