    Sleeping Platform Building Material

    FYI, the exterior plywood to use is called OSB - it's often used for making signs that sit outside. It's inexpensive, and the adhesive used to hold it all together is a resin, so it's going to hold moisture at bay very well. CDX, another type of sheet good, would be okay if you waterproof it...

    hot water heater

    Oh Captain My Captain: I'm moving forward with this mod. Care to share how you sealed the tank after cutting the hole in the top? Use a hack saw to make the hole? How's it sealed up? VERY curious. Muchas gracias. Marko D.

    The Canuck Truck buildup!

    Like the finer things. Like KC said, not a clean truck to speak of. Any idea what color it is? :)

    The El Camino Del Diablo: America's Most Dangerous Backcountry Adventure

    Shameless, gutless, yellow-bellied plug coming...... Read all about it in JPFreek Magazine June/July 2007, by a certain dude whom you might know. :) Otherwise, yes, you need to get down there and drive this trail yourself. Nothing that a fridge and a full tank of gas can't handle.

    FS: SLR Econline Upper Control Arms for Xterra/Frontier

    Bummer. Sorry to hear you totally lost out. Good lock with the sale. FWIW, do these UCAs offer increased travel? I can't use 'em, but someone with the right vehicle might want to know. Keep on keepin' on.

    Woo Hoo! 235/85 16's are on!

    My dad has that size on his Rover: Sorry it's not a better photo to show the width. They're skinny little suckers, kinda like the last kid to get picked in PE. Nevertheless, 235/85 is very expeditiony.

    Factory-tuned SWR?

    SWR: Standing Wave Ratio More of a story than a definition, but this might help: In the past - and with my knowledgable HAM radio buddy as my aide - we'd cut the antenna in question to "tune it" for the frequency at hand (most often 144Mhz). We'd install it, then put the SWR meter on it to...

    Gear's Baja JK Thread

    Justin, I was just slobbering over your gorgeous tire carrier bumper by Jeeperman, so I looked up the website. It appears they, too, are closing down. http://www.jeeperman.com/. Total shame.

    considering lenses for Canon XTi (novice)

    I rented that 17-40L two weeks ago and had a blast. My reaction with wide zooms like this is to simply leave it at 17mm and have a ball, taking advantage of the widest angle. Of course, I was shooting with a film camera so the wide angle I got was the full shebang. That's what I loved about...

    Xterra Gas milage

    Ah, geesh fellas. Let's just get to the source, ol' Doc Brown himself: "No, no, no. This sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need."

    It's Raining, It's Pouring...

    That happened to me once. Got a ticket for it, too. Don't ask. Whatever Wendy did, it was an upgrade . . .
