    The other 80

    Right now we have a flip and fold seat out of a older jeep for the back seat. Extended travel for three people it's too large, taking up valuable storage space. I'm thinking of putting in a single rear seat set to one side or the other as an alternative. The wheel wells on a Scout are square...

    Well, for the first time in many weeks it's above freezing. I was amazed at how stiff the manual steering box is at -10. The original plan was to get the Scout complete and run the OBDR this fall. Just found out we'll be on some reduced hours here at work for a while. Good in that it allows...

    Inflatable

    This is an idea that's been rattling around in my head for some time. Looks like somebody is going to try to go commercial with it! No word on price yet but for my purposes this could compete with my choice of a large tent cot (cabelas or kamprite)...

    Calling all nerds and fellow geeks - Computer System Build - Only doing this once

    Well, I already had it for work and work often involves driving out to remote job sites. After having used it for travel I would gladly pay for it just for that alone. Regular dash mount GPS units never appealed to me - somebody else's data, somebody else's routing, etc - subject for a...

    Where to start? - find the beginning somewhere I suppose. How about the purpose of the build? Pacific Northwest USA. Oregon, the dry side specifically. The rainforest side is not my most favorite. The dry side though, that's more my style. Lots of old mines, logging camps and even bits of...

    Pierce Winch Featured in Off-Road Magazine

    I just scored a rebuilt Desert Dynamics T200 :) A couple quick questions: 1) Is it fully compatible with this upgrade? 2) Proper lubrication for the gear case? 3) Any issues with motor up or motor down orientations?
