Sort of tangential to this, I wish someone would come out with a handheld which had the entire repeater database pre-loaded into memory, a GPS, and a function which lets you scan only the repeaters within a specified radius of your current position.

According to the Dormobile brochure I have, 7'-0". That is a stock SIIA 109 Dormobile. Mine is a little taller. I stay out of the 7' clearance parking garage at work.

Ian Gregory wrote a nice piece about a very special Pelican he won at the AZLRO Rally last weekend: http://www.azlro.org/az-land-rover-rally/rally-news/16-rally-news/365-pelican-case

There are the Microtraks: http://byonics.com/microtrak/ They have self contained ones and ones that need to plug into your cigarette lighter. One of the Arizona radio clubs let us borrow several self contained units of a different manufacture for our Rally. The biggest problem with them...

We are slowly populating the photo album on the AZLRO site: www.azlro.org/photo I started a thread on one of the more exciting events here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57923

It was good to finally see your Discovery. We had a great time. :sombrero:

Ran across this today. I can't even begin to assess its intended usefulness, but I like that base a lot more than the piece of plywood I am using. YouTube - Introducing... the NEW First Responder Jack by Hi-Lift

Great photos! Glad to hear everyone is okay. Do you have any idea why the tire blew? They look like BFG ATs?

ViewRanger just donated their program to the trail leaders on the Arizona Land Rover Rally(4-6 March 2011). For the USA, they use the National Geographic maps, and at the zoomed in 1:24000 level it is the USGS 7.5 minute series. The nice thing is the maps are loaded into your phone's memory so...

Oh, another question: You don't explicitly mention it, but I assume you were successful on this score?

Nice trip! So, did the young couple with a CRV follow the desert rat advice the second go around?

Mark, that is a fine looking 109. Good luck in the sale. Linus, are you really selling your "Volvo Thing", as my daughter calls it?

I don't know, I have only spoken with the owner on the phone. He lives 2 miles from me, so hopefully we will meet soon. I will let you know when I find out.

Thanks for all the input. If I do make them gas cans, is there any problem with the gasoline interacting with the plastic liner? If I do get new cans it will probably be those ones from Sierra Expeditions. We were looking at them at the Bill Burke party and Kelly said, "Oh, we should have...

Hey, I didn't know that! We need to continue that streak. In other news in the last couple of months two more Dormobiles have moved to Tucson. One is a 1962 from Alaska, and the other a SIII. That make 4 in Tucson that I know of.

It is this kind, made by Wedco:

I have a pair of the blue metal NATO water cans with the food grade plastic liner inside. They have served me well for several years now. In December we went on a trip and filled them up. We didn't use most of the water, but since we travel so much I left them full. In early January we went...

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are always struggling with the storage/top heaviness issue in our Dormobile.
