    Accurate Repeater Database

    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.

    Hi-Lift First Responder Jack

    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

    Almost Didn’t Make It Back….

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

    Google Android software and hardware: Post here

    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...

    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?

    Metal NATO water can issue

    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...

    Hard Core Series IIA 109 across the Americas.

    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.
