Having used both (well, all 3) platforms in-depth for decades, I'll take a Windows 7/8+ workstation any day. It's simply a more reliable, more efficient product. It's the bloatware force-fed by Dell, Acer, etc that ruins it... stick to HP's business line and it's golden. Oh, carry on then. I...

I've closed this thread as it has now crossed the line into sales. Note that we're fine with companies visiting the forums to get feedback from our members on products in development, but marketing and sales are not allowed except by approved vendors and forum sponsors. Please review the rules...

As a member of the small minority that absolutely loves Windows 8, especially the new "start" menu, I just wanted to say... BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!1

It's back up and running for your viewing pleasure, sorry for the disruption.

Nope, it was automatically flagged for the same reason it was censored in your post here. ;) (the comments on the home page are a little less sophisticated at censoring than the forums are)

That's my bad, the SoCal article was accidentally released before any of the photos were ready or content edited. It'll be back up shortly.

I'm not sure if it was intended, but I read this in the voice of Randal's Lord of the Rings rant from Clerks II. :jump:

I'm excited to see what they come up with, from what I've seen Livin Lite makes an excellent product well suited to off-pavement use.

Yep, it's a rare but factory available option. I almost bought a set to add to mine when I did the half rack, but opted for custom mounts instead of the $500 price tag on them (parts only).

I had this same epiphany when I went back to Canon. Suddenly having the ability to capture a scene so much quicker, take far fewer photos, but have seemingly twice as many good shots to work with back in the studio was an unexpected benefit. Though it wasn't my motivation for moving back to...

Not just yet, except to say that the factory bumpers will not be going back on... and I'm learning how to weld with the build of their replacements. :) The Discovery needs some love, so I'll be taking a short break from the Foz build. In the mean time we'll be hitting more trails with the...

Part III — Wrapping It Up The third and final part of the Budget Overlander project is live: http://expeditionportal.com/a-budget-overlander-forester-part-iii-kitting-it-out/

Clear Lake, (waaaay) above Silverton, Colorado. 16°F, 12,200 feet of elevation, and just a screen tent? That's why God invented fire. :coffeedrink:

The bugs were half pre-existing damage, and half poor planning on my part, none of it was from the upgrade springs/struts themselves. The first time I put the lift on we discovered the struts were shot. If I had simply assumed they were bad on a chassis with 112k miles on it and ordered new ones...

Alpine Loop

That would be a great option in a Foz for someone putting in a storage system. A two-fold setup would easily clear the 3" bar for flat sleeping, and the roofline is just barely tall enough to make it work. The seats happen to line up just right with the headrests removed such that the front can...

If you're 5 feet tall it will probably work, the seats do fold close enough to flat to stuff the front a little with a duffle and get a bed-sized area (front seats fold flat too). The problem is the 3-inch tall metal bar that sticks up from the folded rear seats just about dead center. It's...

The ExPo team just picked up one of the new Tepui Kukenam Ruggedized tents for evaluation, and at first glance it seems they've been lurking in our Sure-Fire Ways to Improve Your Roof Top Tent thread. We're looking forward to getting it out on the trail in coming weeks and seeing how it holds...

I'm not sure on the new ones, but the 2003 most certainly does not. I discovered after crawling into the back and shutting the hatch so I could figure out which side of the switch was "hatch" and which was "always on". Fortunately the windows were open...:elkgrin: I had an extra one of these...

Taking a little break from the mechanicals, since they seem to be holding for the moment, and getting back to some actual upgrades. First up, replacing the horrid aux-input-less head unit (turbos should make choo-choo sounds, not CD players). The speakers are surprisingly not terrible, so a new...
