    Why not go to a store and try them out at the distances you plan on using them? Some have a zoom feature that might help? Big 5 has some that are small, and inexpensive

    Waterproof in ice cooler?

    Double zip-lock baggies and or tupperware type containers works for me. Use block ice and drain enough water out to keep the food out of the water

    Homebrew Jeep Modifications(DIY)

    Yudda if your Defender is allready white I don't think it would help much. I scrubbed the roof to make sure it was clean before applying the paint. Henry's SolarFlex Paint (Water based elastomeric) SolarFlex 287 SF SolarFlex can't be beat for its cooling properties. It will reflect...

    Hydroplaning KM2s

    No issues with my KM2's in the rain. MK2's are "Mud Tires" not a highly siped street tire and the vehicle with KM2's should be driven accordingly. A Jeep should be driven like a Jeep regarless of what tires you have on it.
