^^^ I've only had Lefthand's Milk Stout once, and I must say it was fantastic. Holiday Ale Festival starts today in Portland. Hoping I can make it this year. - Andy

That is a very cool rig; really looking forward to the progress on this. I wish I'd been around to see that Pinz, too. - Andy

Cool! I love the variety of cars in the Dakar Rally. Some really cool machines, and it's great to see a Jeep in the race. - Andy

That's a totally cool rig. Love older Suburbans. - Andy

Hmm ... that's good to know! - Andy

Don't forget the Suzuki SX4 and the Suzuki Grand Vitara. - Andy

Contactors generally have better duty cycles, weather resistance, and there's only one vs. four solenoids. Most of our winches (excluding the VR Series) now come with contactors. Solenoids are a tried-and-true technology, though. We've used them (in one shape or another) since the '50s.

I looked into buying one of these before buying a second Suzuki SX4 AWD. I was actually quite impressed when I drove the 2.4 liter with the manual transmission, which would've been the model we would've bought. As a die-hard shift-it-yourself guy, my compact, AWD options in the U.S. are limited...

- Different motor - Different gears - Different finish - Different remote - M8000 uses contactor control; VR8000 ueses solenoid - M8000 is faster . -Andy

Not an overland trip, but we drove over some land in Tillamook State Forest last weekend :D Shrockworks bumper and WARN winch hopefully installed this weekend. - Andy

My wife and I have friends that turned us on to what they call "doughies." The idea is the same as when you use the utensil above, but it's a homemade device. . Step 1: Buy a wooden dowel Step 2: Wrap the end of the dowel in aluminium foil Step 3: Wrap dough, often a biscuit such as Pilsbury...

Very cool. Looking forward to watching this build. - Andy

Both of those rigs are great. I'm somewhat familiar with jlucks rig, as I've read about it on Zukiworld.com. . I'm hoping to have my Shrockworks bumper mounted up soon. My new mounting brackets should be here today! - Andy

It's looks are certainly polarizing. It's not too great on gas either, despite its 25/30 EPA rating. I barely got 20 MPG during my week with the Juke. - Andy

FYI, I've got one for review on my personal blog, Subcompact Culture. Full review will come out soon. I actually really like it. http://www.subcompactculture.com/2011/10/in-driveway-2011-nissan-juke-sl-awd.html - Andy

My friend just sent me a link to this last week. Pretty interesting. - Andy

It's warning bicyclists of light rail tracks. I like your description better, though. - Andy

I know Paul at Primitive; good guy! - Andy

Probably my favorite of all time from right here in Portland. (Sorry for the low quality) -Andy

No kidding? That's pretty cool. We make a 4,000 lb. ATV winch (RT40) with wire rope and one with synthetic (XT40), too. Ditto that in 3,000 lb. capacity. . I'll be interested to see your bumper; my buddy (I think he's registered here; I sent him a link to this thread) is looking for a bumper...
