    Rear Locker or MaxTrax?

    X2 - you drove beyond the limits of the vehicle. If you put a locker in and then drive beyond the new limits you'll still be stuck. Keep it within the limits or invest in recovery gear.

    Raptor vs Power Wagon

    Ford has been arranging for these 'comparisons' for many years. http://www.bronco.com/cms/node/1581 Not that I don't like the Raptor but this is very old school marketing.

    Quad Cab Dakota build

    You'll definitely want to replace that front bumper. The first time it rubs against the ground it'll crack and/or shatter. Even if you go easy on it a surprise bump in the road will be enough to for it to bottom out and and just shred it.

    Transmission-powered Expedition Trailer

    In wheel hub motors and traction sensors sound quite spendy and tremendous amount of setup and configuration. How about a trailer axle that's the same/similar as the vehicle rear axle with an electric motor attached directly to the yoke on the trailer diff? It would be similar to some...

    Working up an Android GPS app thoughts on features

    Trek Buddy I've used Trek Buddy on my Black Berry and it is quite functional. Using Googleak you can prepare and load the maps of your choice. I can't remember if it's open source or not but could be a good place to look for ideas.

    $20 Delorme GPS for use with laptops

    The direct output from this is proprietary DeLorme. I downloaded a Serial Emulator from the DeLorme site and now it creates a virtual com port with standard NMEA output. Anything that'll work with that should be fine. Global Mapper and Google Earth are both happy with it.

    Corn and asparagus on the grill

    Don't know about asp. but the corn we either put in the pan over the fire with a touch of olive oil or on the upper rack of the portable grill. Frequent turning helps. Better than any boiled corn ever!

    Remote Blackberry Use

    TrekBuddy - it's a great map program that works well on my 8830. Track recording, waypoint marking, track navigation, etc, etc. Googleak can be used to create maps for it so you can have maps offline. Google Maps and such are fine but once you're out of cell range they can no longer download...
