    World oil reserves are huge

    It's interesting, your wording. I don't touch my reserve tank unless I really have to. until then, I use another source. I still think it's best to find that renewable 'main' source now instead of tapping our reserves. Imagine if you have a 1000gallon reserve tank. pretty big and for short...

    Shatter Proof window coating

    I talked with the shattergard people and you can still kick out the side windows as you can the front windsheild. I'm also looking at profilon as an option.

    Shatter Proof window coating

    Thanks Nick! As long as I keep the 40" tires and the number sticker off the side of my truck.....I think I'll be ok. :)

    Shatter Proof window coating

    Thanks for the info. I'd like to know if it can be kicked out from the inside. Not so much because of water (just how likely is that..really?....he said trying not to jinx himself) or fire (running biodiesel keeps that worry low) but just in a general sense. I have manual windows...

    Shatter Proof window coating

    I'm looking for a USA based dealer/applicator of some kind of nice, strong window coating to help prevent breakins. I've seen what the guys at Lone Wolf Transglobal Expedition are using, but it can only be applied in the UK. Does anyong know of something like this in the USA that isn't too...

    A few pictures of my Defender 110 around Patagonia

    Jorge, Your slideshow got the most favorable response from my wife of "I REALLY want to go on a Patagonia expedition now!!! :)" So, how could one rent a Rover around Buenos Aires (we have free airfare to there) and hit Patagonia with a 14-20 day trip in late November of this year? Wife and...

    Second Showing: Everest Region Trekking Slideshow Benefit - Seattle REI

    This show will be in two weeks and I'm getting quite excited as I finish some of the editing and final touches. I'm sorry for the people on the East Coast as the hoped for showing in New Jersey couldn't be arranged properly. We hope to have the slideshow and a Room to Read 15 minute...

    D90 value?

    Yeah, Defender-mania is kinda goofy because they litter the road everywhere else in the world (DON'T get a UK magazine and look at the calssifieds in the back....it'll depress you). I told my wife how much we could get if we cleaned up the 110 and put it on the market. She just kinda looked at...

    Trying to get my MPG back...

    For this one trip those new tires up front will get you back about $48 over 4500 miles at $3.75/gallon. Each single MPG you gain gets you about $60 less in fuel costs. For the effort, I'm sure you can find otherways to save $60 on a 4500 mile roadtrip that are easier. If you make $20/hr (or...

    JOBO photoGPS

    Steven. the process they mention is what I already do 1) have a track log running 2) hook GPS to computer (or actually the mini-SD card inside it) 3) download pictures, at which time, the coordinates are written to the EXIF based on the gpx tracklog The Jobo seems the same 1) take Jobo and...

    JOBO photoGPS

    in this case, the unit stores the GPS data in memory. then at home you point it to your pictures and it'll write the GPS info to EXIF at that time.

    JOBO photoGPS

    One other thing, these two statements don't seem to match up on Jobo's site. I know.....it's all marketing talk anyway. But it looks like a good system "Unlike conventional systems that require a lengthy synchronization time, the photoGPS requires no waiting time at all. You get detailed...

    JOBO photoGPS

    I've actually got a fairly simple system worked out. you jsut need a track log before you start a download of items. With Breezebrowsers Downloader Pro (http://www.breezesys.com/) you simply point it at a track log before you do the download and it will stamp them with the location. That...

    storing water ...

    I've stored water in the 20L Scepters for 4 months with no noticable difference in taste or smell. This is indoors and not in a vehicle. All my cans have water in them constantly as I use them for my emergency preparedness water source. As mentioned, as long as they are clean and clean water...

    Disco I: 5-Speed Diesel Conversion

    Scott, get a hold of Scott at Old Town Garage . He's up here in Washington but is looking at cheaper alternatives to put a diesel in Rovers. He's the guy finishing off the install of my 2.8TGV in a 110 and has been great with communication/updates as well as being extremely flexible when I...
