    The Green Monster

    x2 Not much here that cant be done already at a lower price tag. Plus some of us like our 5 speed transmissions and NA motors. I specifically avoided the 7 speed in my G after having endless issues with the 722.9 tranny in my S class.

    My custom APRS Web Tracking

    Thank you for the kind words! I use to have spot too and had the same exact issue with tracking info only lasting 7 days. Like you, on my latest rig I have been trying to cut down on mounted gadgets that serve one purpose while out and about. My old D1 was covered with cb, spot, ham, tablet...

    My custom APRS Web Tracking

    Will have to think about the subscription thing can most likely open it up with specific urls for a few more people who are willing to help on server costs or barters ;) As for sharing, some of the basics are already there! If you change the date range in the picker it changes the URL. You can...

    3D MODELING SOFWARE

    As mentioned 3d modeling for what? I have been modeling for over 15 years mainly for game development. I use 3d studio max. If you are looking to do that kind of modeling then check out blender 3d its not as good as max/Maya but still a good FREE launching point. If you are doing more drafting...

    My custom APRS Web Tracking

    To give you perspective I messed up on my filtering at one point and left it running for a day it ended up tracking all stations not just aprs. My Database had over 5 million entries. It is simply too much information without a substantial investment, one I doubt they could ever afford nor have...

    My custom APRS Web Tracking

    opg, Sure! *Initial warning before going down this road* First off it requires you to have a server where you can install your own perl modules. Most shared hosting plans do not allow this for security/stability reasons. I happen to have a dedicated server for other sites I started that...

    Expedition fridge

    I have been looking at the same due to the Engel 35 I use to have sold with my old rig. It was a great fridge and no real complaints other then not included readout on temp and the dial sometimes got tweaked by moving stuff. This round I have been looking at ARB mainly because the NL may be just...

    1985 300GD

    Nice list I know when I moved up from my old LR to the 463 I loved the speed and comfort! The fuel economy was kind of moot for me since the rover got the same if not worse. About the components I think that comes down to the year and condition. I specifically picked up the 05 model as I knew...

    My custom APRS Web Tracking

    Thanks! I always find it funny how attached family becomes to it on my trips. I use to do a spot device when I did solo DS trips and sure enough I would have lots of calls worried when the spot didnt get a proper ping for 30mins-1hr. Spot also had the same issue where it would only save about 7...

    My custom APRS Web Tracking

    Hey All, So I have been nerding out the past few days on developing this webpage/reporting tool. I use to simply embed APRS.fi maps on a page with my call sign to make tracking easy for friends and family. The big issue with this is it only shows data from the past 2 days making longer trips...

    Hey Man, Yes I sold the disco as part of my move to Cali (having 4 autos simply does not work well in Downtown San Francisco). Since the Disco was primarily a Overland/Offroad toy it had to go even though I still miss it. As part of my selling all my automotive to go down to one I picked up a...

    2005 G500 build by MG Metalworks

    Already plan to contact him :) Bought the rear tire cover\storage after upgrading to the ATs. Great part! Was about to call on Monday to get the sliders but as luck would have it my passenger window regulator finally saw its end. Since I'm in downtown SF with a garage that doesn't allow auto...
